    Coulda shoulda woulda.

    There were 2 options:

    • moderate genocide, some student debt relief and gay marriage
    • extreme genocide, accepting jets from foreign governments, putting trans people on a list and deporting citizens to El Salvador.

    That’s it. You don’t get lollipops and unicorns. Primaries took care of that.

    America chose option 2. So be it.

      “Moderate genocide and gay marriage”

      Genuinely beyond parody. And your problem isnt that that was the only alternative lmao. Neoliberals say the wildest things

        That was the only alternative indeed. And people chose the extra genocide with corruption sprinkles and a touch of war with Iran. If you want universal Healthcare and free university, it wasn’t on the menu. They are great, you should get some, but Americans don’t want them.
