Asking as someone from the other side of the planet.
From the things I saw about the US election, the Dems were the side with plans for the economy - minimum wage adjustments, unions, taxing the rich, etc. The Republicans didn't seem to have any concrete plans. At least, this is what I saw.
I don't doubt Bernie Sanders though - he seems like a straight truth teller. But what am I missing?
Bull-fucking-shit. That's what apologists say.
But where the fuck did the money come from? What about all the money stolen? The distribution of the government agencies/powers to cronies? The human rights violations? All the fucking murders and rapes.
Damn right, they better have built some infrastructure. Pasting their names everywhere they could. But at what cost? And fuck, not a high bar - a decent government should do that.
But again, at what cost? With all the money that they fucking stole, all the deaths in their wake, and the chaos that had to happen for their ousting to happen, it's not surprising that corruption had an easy way in.
And don't think that Imelda was innocent or naive. Junior wasn't a kid during this time either. They fucking know. They've been working on white-washing their name for decades now.
But I will never respect them or their work as long as they deny the sins of the Marcos regime. It's like being a holocaust denier.
