If they can elect a felon to the white house, so could we.

      lmaooo

      tangentially I feel like Batman could never jive with leftist ideology anyhow. His whole thing is beating and scaring the crime out of people, which is in contrast to the leftist idea that crime happens because the needs of individuals (physical, psychological, and social) are not met by their material conditions.

        the leftist idea that crime happens because the needs of individuals (physical, psychological, and social) are not met by their material conditions.

        Like, why do people always jump to thinking there can only be one correct option out of multiple choices?

        I am sure there are many people committing crimes because they can’t fulfill their basic needs any other way.

        But do you think Trump is lacking in material conditions? People are diverse and they commit crimes for diverse reasons.

          Well you can’t fix it from within the system. You can’t fix it with vigilantism, but it can be fixed as every other country in earth has fixed this problem.

          The fuck do you people want then?

            There was time to fix it from within the system. That was before the fascist dictator was elected. There is no fix at this point. The good news is it will almost certainly come all crashing down due to incompetence and you only have a few years before global warming because a much bigger problem than healthcare anyway.

            What do I want? A socialist utopia. I’m just not under any illusions about it happening in America.

                  You apparently do. Trump has nothing, whatsoever, to do with the state of healthcare, and won’t. The ACA was a Republican think tank health plan, and is directly responsible for the state we’re in. Healthcare reform hasn’t been on the table in a serious manner in this country, from any party.

                    Trump has everything to do with the fact that there is not going to be any chance to do any sort of progressive reforms in America again in the foreseeable future. Just like there are not going to be any elections again in the foreseeable future.

                    You still think things are fixable in the U.S.

                    You are in for a rude awakening.
