I see you're the one that responded with a page of why Dems suck when I said the Dems wield power differently but not against Capitalism. Maybe you live in a part of the world where there is no material difference between the two parties but that is not the lived reality for myself or my neighbors. This is not a centrist saying "well actually the Dems don't suck as much as you say", it is a Marxist saying you cannot build a coalition while ignoring the material conditions people are experiencing.

Dems don't want votes though, they are a fundraising organization.

ICE wishes they were SWAT. But they're not out there defusing bombs or breaking up a gun rings, they're chasing farm hands and abducting abuelas. So yeah, they're scared but not of the people they are going after.

What kind of perpetrator takes a photo of their activity... Do they want to get caught?

Okay, one still should vote for a Democrat president. Because why would you vote for a more hostile government? Unless of course you want everything go-to shit but you should lead with your intention.

And what are the Uighurs making that is so interesting?

It's not an either or situation, there is plenty of blame to go around. But I believe that the people with the most power are the most responsible. I know that runs counter to American corporate culture and can be a cultural shock to hear.

Did you know that most of China's debt is held domestically?

I mean so does the United States thanks to the 13th amendment but we don't have anywhere near the same infrastructure to show for it

Overproduction of commodities is certainly a problem for capitalists. But the workers get to enjoy a lower cost of living. Like I would much prefer we built ghost cities (Chengdu was derided as a ghost city at one point) than have a decades long housing crisis with no signs of improving unless we deport millions of people.

Call it butt sex and then we can also claim this was the gay agenda we kept hearing about.
