Hey did Biden save USPS or did he continue the shit show that Trump started?
What about student loan forgiveness?
Min wage, Housing, insurance, college, child care, rising food costs, rising good costs, bombing yeman, bombing Syria, VOCAL SUPPORT OF ISRAEL GENOCIDE, lgbtq rights, minority rights?
Getting Trump elected in 2024?
The Democrats enabled everything that is happening today.
Yeah voting Democrats definitely seems like harm reduction.
Other than being in total opposition to basic facts, because I guess your favorite online circlejerk told you otherwise, it’s amazing that you still aren’t parsing harm reduction.
I believe I said earlier I’d be working with my local communities which engage in harm reduction since you know they actually do something on the ground rather than just “vote and forget about it”
I also said I’d be voting for The Green Party or PSL.
I do love a comment tells I’m away from basic fact without providing a single Source or any way to actually you know validate what I said or if you’re right. Tell you what if you can prove any of these things wrong and show me how Biden made a measurable change in everybody’s lives I’ll delete my account and swear by liberalism.
Warning though children can’t eat solar panels or roads. Oh and it can’t have been initially be done by the Supreme Court either.
I believe I said earlier I’d be working with my local communities which engage in harm reduction
Again, showing that you don’t understand the meaning of the term harm reduction.
I also said I’d be voting for The Green Party or PSL.
Yes, in support of fascism, you were very clear about how much you prefer more Palestinians, Ukrainians, and American minorities to die.
Tell you what if you can prove any of these things wrong and show me how Biden made a measurable change in everybody’s lives I’ll delete my account and swear by liberalism.
Really? I really don’t want you to swear by liberalism, but I admit I’d be amused if you deleted your account.
Warning though children can’t eat solar panels or roads.
This is monumentally stupid to pretend that clean energy and infrastructure don’t improve the lives of everyone, children included, but I guess Biden workingto literally feed children wouldn’t fit your criteria either. Not because your criteria, as stated, excludes them, but because you’re incapable of admitting that your blinkered pseudoreligious devotion to the axiom of “Democrats are The Great Satan and part of the Uniparty instead of a political org with multifaceted, if often gruesome, views and goals!” could possibly be wrong.
Feel free to delete your account and prove me wrong, though.
President Joe Biden signed the Keep Kids Fed Act on Saturday morning, extending partial school meal flexibilities through the next school year five days before they were set to expire.
I’m sure those kids appreciated that one year of food. Now I’ll grant you that I did temporarily help everybody but alas it has expired along with his Legacy.
No apparently you don’t understand the meaning of harm reduction. It means to do things to reduce harm such as working with your local communities. Do you not understand that? Seems like it since you keep bringing it up.
I love the continued insistence that the Democrats are anti-war. Yep I can’t wait to send all those weapons to the ukrainians that will definitely keep them from dying. And it certainly won’t cause Russia to do anything like retaliate in mass and try to do things like terraform the Azov sea as punishment.
Yeah the Democrats definitely did a lot to protect American minorities too by increasing police budgets to levels they haven’t seen in years both federally and at state level. It’s definitely not like the police are a part of the problem.
Now comrade it seems that you assume I’m a conservative. Unfortunately I’m actually further left than you are since the candidates I support are explicitly anti-war, actually have plans to help minorities, and condemn Israel’s actions as genocide.
They unequivocally support raising the minimum wage to the inclusion of universal basic income, universal healthcare, a public safety Force actually focused on public safety and not private property laws, and condemn the actions of Israel.
But yeah go ahead and keep voting democrats. They’re definitely going to save us and they’re definitely going to prevent more harm from spreading and will certainly not continue the fascist policies of a trump Administration in 2029 like they did in 2020.
I’m sure those kids appreciated that one year of food. Now I’ll grant you that I did temporarily help everybody but alas it has expired along with his Legacy.
“It measurably changed lives but since Biden wasn’t Dictator For Life And Beyond, it doesn’t count.”
And here I was thinking that you had a shred of integrity and would delete your account.
jk, I never thought you had a shred of integrity, that’s been apparent from the start.
No apparently you don’t understand the meaning of harm reduction. It means to do things to reduce harm such as working with your local communities. Do you not understand that? Seems like it since you keep bringing it up.
That’s literally not the fucking meaning of the term. Holy fucking shit. As I’ve explained numerous times in this thread, and as the analogy points out, the point of harm reduction is not to reform institutions, it’s to reduce the oncoming harm to enable other methods to reform institutions, like direct action, to take place.
I can’t fucking believe that I have to keep explaining this to self-proclaimed leftists. Un-i-fucking-ronically, read theory.
I love the continued insistence that the Democrats are anti-war. Yep I can’t wait to send all those weapons to the ukrainians that will definitely keep them from dying. And it certainly won’t cause Russia to do anything like retaliate in mass and try to do things like terraform the Azov sea as punishment.
“Palestinians have a right to defend themselves, but Ukrainians must submit to Russian genocide!”
I mean of course you would go immediately for some temporary restrictions since it’s all the Democrats ever are able to do.
You know the Supreme Court was actually the one that made gay marriage legal. Not the Democrats. That’s permanent. That measurably changes everybody’s lives. I wonder why you can’t find any examples of things like this?
Well that’s because you think reforms work and I dont. They are a direct waste of time because they will be repealed as soon as the capitalists can do so like we’ve seen with USPS and public housing.
I love how holier than thou you pretend to be.
I do read Theory but I’m not afraid of of the Soviet Union and what it took so they could become a rival of the United States. I’m not afraid of Albania I want to know how they got their literacy rates nearly 100%. I’m not afraid of China I want to know how they established the largest fucking market faster than anybody ever has. And most of all I want to know how to permanently throw off shackles of capitalists who would deemed me unvaluable if I cannot provide labor.
Calling someone a fascist doesn’t make you the “winner” it just makes you an idiot that couldn’t make your point.
Ah, the harm intensification strategy. You have fun with the blood of millions more minorities on your hands. I bet it’ll make you feel real good - unironically, since people like you are rarely capable of self-reflection or perceiving realities uncomfortable to your preconceptions.
Yes because we all know voting solves everything and you can officially pat yourself in the back voting and take a break from doing literally any other work. You know like more importantly volunteering in your local organizations that actually handle local problems unlike the Democrats.
Pat yourself on the back knowing you did everything you could have simply by voting for the Democrats and advocating for more failed policies that haven’t changed anything in the better part of 20 years.
Good to see you come found my other comment though. Must have struck a nerve.
Must be all that anxiety about the actual reality of the situation.
Yes because we all know voting solves everything and you can officially pat yourself in the back voting and take a break from doing literally any other work.
That’s literally the opposite of what harm reduction means, but I guess the analogy in the OP was too complex for you. Sorry, I’ll try to find a simpler one next time. And a spoon to feed it to you.
Pat yourself on the back knowing you did everything you could have simply by voting for the Democrats and advocating for more failed policies that haven’t changed anything in the better part of 20 years.
Do you not fucking remember what things were like 20 years ago?
Yeah women could get abortions without being prosecuted by the police, immigrants weren’t harassed consistently by Department that we should never have created, and Trump was laughing stock.
Now let’s look at the Democrat position 20 years ago and see what the Bill Clinton administration managed to achieve. They managed to get rid of almost all the manufacturing jobs in the United States through NAFTA. Oh that we nearly have the national debt paid off on the sweat and tears and blood of all the money that was clawed from the masses in order to do it. To be fair he was a lot cooler than trump. At least he got a blowjob in the white house without having to pay for it although he did have to abuse his position of power.?
Those the 20 years ago you were talking about?
Sure I get where you’re coming from that Minority Rights have gotten better kind of but minimum wage hasn’t increased, nobody can afford a house, and nobody can afford to go to school, forget trying to create a business.
Yeah women could get abortions without being prosecuted by the police, immigrants weren’t harassed consistently by Department that we should never have created,
Are you… are you fucking taking the piss?

Oh that we nearly have the national debt paid off on the sweat and tears and blood of all the money that was clawed from the masses in order to do it.
… you do remember that 20 years ago was 2005, right?
Sure I get where you’re coming from that Minority Rights have gotten better kind of but minimum wage hasn’t increased, nobody can afford a house, and nobody can afford to go to school, forget trying to create a business.
Minority rights getting better is not fucking nothing, Obamacare and Medicaid expansion isn’t fucking nothing, the Dems, since 2000, taking significantly more pro-labor positions than in the Clinton years isn’t fucking nothing, the Dems adopted a 15$ minimum wage in their party platform isn’t fucking nothing, tax credits for first-time home buyers wasn’t fucking nothing, student loan forgiveness wasn’t fucking nothing, proposals for massive investment in subsidies for small businesses and decreasing taxes on small businesses whilst simultaneously increasing taxes on large corporations wasn’t fucking nothing.
Yep let’s continue to burn more people’s Goodwill an energy on electoralism when it’s been shown over and over and over again to give a completely watered-down nigh banded compromises on the problems they promise to fix. That’s so much better and certainly won’t lead to people getting political burnout and political apathy since nothing they’re doing is changing anything.
Minority rights didn’t get better because of the Democrats. It’s not like they were in charge leading the whole social change to minority rights. That distinct honor goes to various socialists and anticapitalist activists like Fred Hampton, Huey Newton, Malcom X, MLK Jr.
To be honest on the years I definitely forgot that 2005 which was the Bush Administration by the way, was 20 years ago and the Democrats were more than happy to vote time and time again to bomb the shit out by iraq and Afghanistan, oh and to celebrate all of our privacy in the Patriot Act. It actually makes it easier for me because it’s Democrat position in 2005 less radical than they’re one in the 90s. And majorly increase police budgets which disproportionately have a negative effect on minority communities.
Now let’s look at the absolutely pathetic compromise that is the ACA. First it imposed major tax penalties on anyone who couldn’t afford Healthcare, secondly the ACA plans put them in competition with other corporate insurance plans and often cost the same, about the only materially good thing the ACA did was get rid of pre-existing denial clauses.
Oh yes the $8,000 to simulate the Housing Industry offered first time home buyers during the Obama administration. What a wonderful temporary reform. Too bad it doesn’t help anybody today. Kind of interesting that the Democrats wouldn’t do this again during the Biden Administration when housing needed to be stimulated 🤷.
You know what my favorite part of proposals are? How there’s no material actions that come from these and just how ineffective they are at actually changing things you know since people ignore proposals all the time.
I’m sorry did you forget that Roe vs Wade was overturned in Bidens Administration? I wonder why the Democrats didn’t do anything about it.
If you pretend like Biden didn’t pass the inflation reduction act, infrastructure act, CHIPS and science act, emergency rental assistance, Covid relief and vaccine requirements, and tons of other things.
Lol like “harm reduction” is going to save us.
Bad analogy anyway bc the effects are immediate anyway.
If we taxed everybody who didn’t vote there be a lot more can you spend your money voter since there is an immediate consequence for not voting.
I’m going to engage in local organizing. I feel like that’s much better and I’ll be able to protect my community and my family
… it’s not supposed to, that’s the whole fucking point of the term.
Holy fucking Christ.
Rachet effect says what.
Hey did Biden save USPS or did he continue the shit show that Trump started?

Comrade who was in control when the genocide in Gaza took its final turn? Yep it was definitely those damn Republicans that kept killing those Palestinians. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/biden-facing-pressure-for-restraint-after-full-fledged-support-of-israel
In the academic world that studies genocide what Israel is doing in Gaza is now considered a genocide by the academic community. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/top-genocide-scholars-unanimous-israel-committing-genocide-gaza-investigation-finds
Yeah the Democrats definitely did a lot to protect American minorities too by increasing police budgets to levels they haven’t seen in years both federally and at state level. It’s definitely not like the police are a part of the problem.

You know you can do two things at once right? The purpose of harm reduction isn’t to fix everything, it’s to REDUCE HARM.
Lot of harm reduction the democrats did from 2020-2024.
Forgive me if I don’t want to give them another chance.
I’m going green or PSL from now on.
Ah, the harm intensification strategy. You have fun with the blood of millions more minorities on your hands. I bet it’ll make you feel real good - unironically, since people like you are rarely capable of self-reflection or perceiving realities uncomfortable to your preconceptions.

But hey, let’s electorally punish the Dems for changing for the better because it’s not enough, I’m sure that will really rouse voters to become even MORE left-wing!

What else you got?
If you pretend like Biden didn’t pass the inflation reduction act, infrastructure act, CHIPS and science act, emergency rental assistance, Covid relief and vaccine requirements, and tons of other things.
Then yeah, Biden didn’t do anything.
