      It’s pretty sad. This place is full of communists that think they’re moderate left and they hate anyone with money.

        I’m sorry to disappoint you but by “eat the rich” we do not mean you, and it is somewhat delusional to think it will ever mean you. You’re not that important, and nobody’s coming for your tiny scraps of a house and overly fancy toothbrush you got for 50% off on prime day.

        We just think maybe when billionaires have yachts that emit more pollution in 20 mins than most do in a lifetime amid record homelessness and debt despite record prosuctivity, we have to change society somewhat to realign our priorities towards a more egalitarian outcome.

        Most people support that - and if that makes us radicals well slap my butt and call me a forgotten 90s anthropomorphic animal marketing mascot in sick shades cuz I’m radical as hell

      Hi, Negative Nancy here: what exactly should I take this to be other than either A) useless drivel or B) propaganda?

      Because presidents are demonstrably not like us. They only come from the rich and they are fully above the law. They can decide, based on nothing but their own ego, that they need to run the country and anyone that stands in their way gets to be demonized by an extremely well-funded political party.

      They can spend their entire career making student loan debt an unshakeable yolk for an entire generation and then pretend like they’re doing something about it by following through on existing law and failing to do anything substantial.
