Imagine being this ignorant of recent history.

Name one left wing policy Democrats have executed in the past 20 years.

They actively block unions when we should be setting up matching programs so that unions can buy up their companies and convert them to worker cooperatives

We should be building high speed rail and getting rid of cars in favor of walkable cities and public transport.

We should be building infrastructure from renewable energy to water delivery systems.

We need a massive increase on corporate taxes and taxes on the rich. I'm even down for a wealth cap at $5 million.

We can't even get basic center-right policies like banning politicians from trading stocks or making sure politicians have frozen assets while in office to prevent them from using their position for their own gain.

To be left wing you have to side with workers rights over property rights, People over employers. That is why the left starts at anti-capitalism.

Wow, it's amazing that you just happen to parrot right-wing talking points with no relation to reality

Holy fucking shit.

Do you not remember the Obama administration's funding? Do you not remember the fights over public rail?

We should be building infrastructure from renewable energy to water delivery systems.

Do you not remember the Biden administration passing the biggest infrastructure bill in the past century, which focused heavily on renewables and included 31 billion for drinking water infrastructure

We need a massive increase on corporate taxes and taxes on the rich.

Would you like to remind me of the tax policy the past [checks notes] twenty years of Democratic presidential candidates have ran on?

Sometimes I wish this community would require authors to explain the meme. Where is the funny part?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

I don't think it has to be funny? That said I find the ratchet analogy entirely incorrect:

Yes, the wheel is turning further to the right, yes, the democrats aren’t doing enough to stop or even wheel it back, but there’s no spring coil in the wheel, it wouldn’t snap back by itself if you removed the blue from the picture. That’s bullshit.
