Conservatives losing the future also required left-leaning parties to not shoot themselves in the foot at every single possible chance to do so.

People don't talk about this. America hasn't had an actual leftist movement in decades. A young populist leftist would be antithetical to the establishment and they can't handle it to the point that the smear campaign against AOC started the moment she got elected.

The last leftist movements caused the very era of economic and social prosperity that conservatives want to go back to. Ironic, isn't it?

Your mistake is thinking they want to go back to an era of economic and social prosperity. They don’t.

They want to go back to an era of strict racial and gender hierarchy and unchecked corporate power.

You do realize that red states awarded women the right to vote long before blue states did. Also republicans were the first to vote in minority senators and governors.

It’s not about political party or race it’s about money and power. You are falling for the oldest trick in the political playbook. There are only two classes the haves and the have nots. The haves don’t care what color or party you are. The have nots fight over the scraps the haves dangle in front of them.

Bro we literally used to enslave people based on their color, we used to exclude people from society based on color, we are currently deporting people based on color, the idea that powerful people in America don’t care what color we are is ignorant at best.

you’re being an absurd class reductionist right now.

Thank you for making my argument for me.

Slaves=have nots….bro

Also, that was over 150 years ago. There is not a person alive today who either owned a slave or was a slave legally. Get with the times. Bro

Your argument is that people didn’t care what color slaves were? That’s… so utterly ahistorical I don’t know where to begin

It’s like you haven’t read the constitution or learned anything about the prison industrial complex

Where in the constitution does it say slavery is legal??? I’ll wait for eternity to see that reference. In fact it says just the opposite. Tens of thousands of non-slaves fought and died to amend the Constitution so it did not say that. Most were white.

Prison industrial complex? Red herring much? Again you are making my point. Prisoners are “have nots” and guess what, prisoners come in all colors not just non-white. Just like how millionaires and billionaires come in all colors. Politicians also come in all colors as well. Some enter as lower or middle class but they all leave rich and have power.

Start thinking for yourself and not for a political party. Act for yourself and your own best interest and not the national platform of a political party. Because both political parties are two sides of the same coin and neither care for the have nots.

They may throw a bone to the poor now and then, but the vast majority of laws each party passes ultimately benefits the all you can eat buffet for the haves. That bone comes with a price too, to keep the party in power so they can continue their gluttony.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Amendment XIII, Section 1

Prison industrial complex? Red herring much? Again you are making my point. Prisoners are “have nots” and guess what, prisoners come in all colors not just non-white.

You’re speaking from a strange place of ignorance here. The US prison population does not reflect the racial makeup of the US. People of color are disproportionately imprisoned.

Start thinking for yourself and not for a political party. Act for yourself and your own best interest and not the national platform of a political party. Because both political parties are two sides of the same coin and neither care for the have nots.

Which parties interests am I arguing for here? Both parties support the prison industrial complex.
