“Two Faces of American Capitalism”: Juan González on What the RNC & DNC Reveal About U.S. Politics
  • I was living abroad at the time. I was young and cocky. I made jokes about card games having to change the term trump to clinton cause she's going to beat him easily. I was wrong.

    Then it got scary.

    Now I live in NC and I can't wait to vote blue.

  • I agree with you, mostly.

    My problem is that a lot of people want us to be so much more progressive and socialist that anything less than a full running leap to the left is being equated to disaster. And here's the thing, I used to be that way. I wanted Sanders so bad that I didn't vote for Hillary.

    I'll regret that decision for the rest of my life. Friends of mine died during the pandemic because of that decision. So now, no matter how bleak, I will always vote for even the smallest step towards the side of decency.

    I am realistic about it and i agree with Juan Gonzalez on the whole. I don't agree with his focus and his tone. His focus is on how it's not enough and his tone is doom and gloom. That's just exhausting.

  • This guy is spouting more doom and gloom and trying to equate the two parties as "the same".

    As a former expat, every single person I know that isn't an American native is very excited for the Democratic party.

    You all ever go back to older works and realize how creative you were?
  • I get it. I was mostly writing comedic stories in my twenties which i still go back and laugh at now and again. The writings from my teens however were full of angsty fanfic melodrama and are really really bad.
