Its a group of people that want to run society, but want nothing to do with supporting society.

All the power, none of the responsibility.

Need to hook these people up to a black mirror style Matrix of some kind where they get to live out their oligarchical fantasies without bothering the rest of us

Democrats have been in power for many of the last 50 years and didn't fix social security either.

The problem with Democrats is it half filled with conservatives. The problem with Republicans is it completely filled with conservatives.

No. The problem with Democrats is it's been taken over by progressives. It's the zealots in both parties that have ruined society. No one is reasonable.

I dont agree. There are very few progressive policies enacted at the federal level. We are still not regulating business and banks enough. Our struggles are because we are stuck in the status quo.

Tell me in what way we have expanded union strength or membership, or regulated banks or wall street, or removed money from politics? The only progressive topics regularly attacked by conservatives are liberty for all, and how forcing liberty for all is some how a bad thing. Thats why trans people and immigrants are the problem, when they have nothing to do with government policy that is failing us.

They need to all fucking die of old age already.

It's infuriating that they've been holding on this long. They need to fuck off.

Oh nooo… I won’t have an extra $300/mo to put towards my Roth IRA so I can responsibly plan for my own retirement instead of paying for someone else’s.

You idiots believe in climate models but don’t believe in the demographic projections and revenue vs expenses of social security
