reminder that biden wanted to run in 2016 and would have easily become the nominee and have beaten trump, but obama told him not to and cleared the way for hillary, thereby giving you a trump presidency. thanks, obama
love bernie, but let's be honest, a lot of his '16 showing was due to anti-hillary resentment which simply wouldn't have been there w/ biden. he'd have lost by a bigger margin given his lack of name recognition. also biden hadn't gone senile yet, so he'd have smoked trump w/ ease
so fuck all this deranged russiagate, jill stein, susan sarandon shit. you can thank obama and hillary for the last 4 years
biden's line that he didn't run bc his son died in early 2015 is PR of the "I'm taking time out to spend with my family" variety to explain why he didn't challenge hillary as everyone was expecting him to. he didn't because obama told him not to. they cleared the way for hillary
a positive consequence of that was that it became a two-way race between a self-described socialist and her, and they only managed to beat him with a combination of ratfuckery, bernie being too nice, and his lack of name recognition w/ not enough time to remedy that
they made a critical error by clearing the way for hillary in '16, bc they not only put up the only candidate who could lose to trump, they also created the conditions for a bernie 2020 nomination. unfortunately a combination of ratfuckery and manufactured consent prevented that
don't let stuff like this be memory-holed

and of course after obama cleared the way for hillary in 2016, he then cleared the way for biden in 2020, so once again I have to remind you:

first listened to this about a week or so ago and it's now one of my favorite albums. every song on it is a classic

goddamn it really is every single song that's a banger. the only other albums I've come across that have this level of quality consistently throughout are dylan's streak in the 1960s
the best flow in rap history is on this album, particularly on this song, with these lines:

"Packed up my tools for my raw power move
Glock 19 for casket and flower moves"

yesterday was the 103rd anniversary of the october revolution, which became the beacon of hope for worker's liberation throughout the world, setting off a wave of revolutions, strikes and mass social movements. here's a scene from the great film "reds"
I highly recommended watching that. it's about american journalist jack reed who witnessed the october revolution firsthand and became a communist. he wrote the brilliant book "ten days that shook the world", a must-read. here's a PDF of it: ia803108.us.archive.org/24/items/tenda…
the revolution also created a backlash, leading to the murder of heroes of the communist movement like rosa luxemburg by an alliance of fascists, liberals and social democrats, and the imperialist invasion of russia itself, as detailed in this thread:

joe scarborough on msnbc expressing the view of the entire professional media class: "biden will have to govern like bill clinton governed, he will govern from the center, from the middle". in other words: the exact thing that gave you trump
the entire professional media class is manufacturing consent for neoliberalism on steroids under biden: harsh austerity, cutting social programs (he might even go for social security), tax cuts, corporate giveaways. and you know what? they'll get it all. bc they own this place
do you think an election platform, hilariously called "the most progressive in US history", means a goddamn thing when a record-breaking 14 billion was spent on the election? LOL biden will wipe his ass with that, just as obama did. THEY OWN EVERYTHING

andrew yang says democrats should listen to the working class more, which for yang means pushing a neoliberal UBI with the explicit aim of gutting and then destroying social programs and the last remnants of the welfare state, as he admitted to dave rubin

listen carefully to what andrew yang says at the end: he knows its unpopular to attack these programs head-on, so instead he's going to trick people into voluntarily abandoning them, and then destroy them, per chomsky's point. yang is a trojan horse neoliberal piece of shit Image
here's andrew yang getting exposed for the neoliberal grifter hack he is when he admits that he doesn't even support a 15$ minimum wage. remember, florida just overwhelmingly voted for it even though biden lost. yang would have run against it. but "listen to the working class"

looking forward to cancer being cured
bernie: "I want to give healthcare to everyone"

media: "LOL that's delusional, you want to give people ponies"

biden: "I will cure cancer"

media: "wow that's inspirational. biden loves science"
bitch how about instead of vowing to cure cancer bc your brain is melting you make sure people don't go bankrupt trying to treat it?

since it's election day, here's george carlin perfectly summing up what I think about it. just change "the public" for "asset-owning boomers", as they're the ones who actually call the shots
it's not talked about enough how asset-owning boomers, by virtue of their class interests, are responsible for everything horrible that has happened over the past decades. they gave you hillary, trump, biden, johnson. they are the social basis of reaction

never forget that the active working class overwhelmingly supported corbyn and bernie. it was asset-owning boomers who sank them. they want to see the world burn. it's a death-cult. a deranged, fascistic death-cult
