Then amend it. Since the left are in the majority, it should be easy, right? Instead, the left changes the meaning of words, because you are not in the majority like you believe. The only options the left have now are insurrections in state capitols and burning down pregnancy centers and churches.
I'm not sure I particularly care for such baseless rhetoric. Quit virtue signalling and actually say what you think.

The uniparty is just middle managers. They run the day to day operations. Think bigger. Who do they answer to, because we can agree, it isn't We the People.
You won't find vaguely gesturing to be effective on a socialist I'm afraid.

And that is why you all get angry all the time. You refuse to ask questions, dive deeper or think logically. I refuse to believe that you are a dumb person, even if you are a socialist. I used to have some leftwing views in my younger days too. So, here's a little truth to get you started.

The Federal Reserve owns the US through debt slavery. Every country that has a central banking system is in the same boat as we are.

They control us because we are divided and have been bickering amongst ourselves for decades, while they are united laughing at us at their DC cocktail parties getting richer and richer from their corrupt foreign deals.

All we need is common ground. Us united is their biggest fear. The only question that remains is, are we ready to become united against a common foe?

Lol, let me guess. You think the removal of the gold standard was a bad thing (it wasn't) and your solution to the "fed slavery" (not a thing btw) is crypto?

Champ, you either become anti-capitalist to solve the inherent flaws and oppression of capitalism, or you let it fester. You cannot use capitalism to fix capitalism.

Just look at the value of the dollar since the Federal Reserve Act was passed and look how it really devalued after we got off the gold standard. The evidence is there. All you have to do is go find it.

Socialism never fixed anything in the world ever throughout all of humankind and you can't point to a single instance where it did. And don't give me that "it's never been tried before" crap, unless you want everybody here to laugh at you.

Sure, I can look at the security and how we haven't had a depression since. It's not that the Federal Reserve is some problemless saint, it's that the alternatives are genuinely so fucking bad in comparison (gold standard, crypto standard, etc) that we straight up enter the Twilight Zone in terms of possibility.

The Federal Reserve was created in 1913. The Great Depression happened within 20 years. Then all the recessions since. They were created to prevent those from happening.

The gold standard has worked for thousands of years. 100 years of fiat currency failed a long time ago.

You mean the recessions that happened, not because of fiat, but because of active exploitation of the working class by predatory banks?

You sound awfully anti-capitalist. Careful that you don't cross that line, or your puppetmasters might get angry that you aren't repeating the intended propaganda.

Imagine simping for a federal banking system that puts us further and further in debt and devalues our currency by design and thinking you are in the right. I hoped you stretched those hammies before twisting yourself in a pretzel with that kind of logic.

Are we gonna continue being snarky or would you be interested in trying to find common ground? If it's snark that you are after, then you are just wasting my time at this point, because all that you are doing is playing into the oligarchs' hands at this point.

Libertarians are insane people who want to tank the economy and let corporations run everything. We do not have common ground.

There you go assuming again. I'm not a libertarian. I'm also not a conservative. I do enjoy watching you try to label me and guessing my views. It makes you look childish and foolish because you think you have the power to define me, and you do not.

I don't care enough to address your special snowflake ideology that holds the same positions as libertarians do with whatever special snowflake term you created on the spot for it. A turd by any other name is still a turd.

Because you cannot defend your failed ideology in a debate. So you resort to get getting mad and stomping your feet around. You gonna take your ball and go home now little girl? It's all you have left. Maybe go burn some churches or pregnancy centers down with your KLANtifa friends tonight? I hear you guys have the addresses of all 6 Supreme Court justices too. You guys gonna try and make an attempt on another one's life?

Every single word of that was entirely irrelevant, so I'm just going to say "take your meds, schizo."
To add to this, there is no "debate," you just gish gallop to something else to larp about. You don't stand for or believe anything, so I don't care what you think. I will continue to support socialism and convince others with functioning frontal lobes to do so.

I'm not the one blasting angry comments to random people on message boards. You really have nothing productive to say at this point and are reduced to saying dumb and stupid things. You can't even defend your ideology. That's how dumb it is.

I thought you people were supposed to be winning over the last 18 months? What ever happened to all the Hope and Change? You people are even more miserable when you when win :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

I don't know who this Liberal Laina™ that lives in your head is, but if you're not gonna introduce me to her I'd prefer if you actually argue against what I'm saying, and not the strawman of me in your head is saying. Because I didn't say a single part of anything you're crying about.

Oh wait, I realize what this is, you want to virtue signal about how anti-left you want to be, and I'm just the catalyst for your random (and frankly useless) soapboxing. Now I see.
