Indeed, #billionaires are only a tiny fraction, maybe 0.0001%, of the #capitalist class. #Occupy was right, it really is the top 2% (& their supporters) who are the problem.

The " #billionaire class" does not exist. #Capitalists are the problem. Most of the country's capitalists, & the #wealthy #corrupt #politicians who pander to them, are not billionaires.
#AOC is a perfect example of how easy it is to say the right thing when you don't have to follow through with anything you propose or claim to stand for.
#AOC is such a champion of the people that even #Dem adjacent #DSA went to the trouble & public humiliation of un-endorsing her!
What a fighter!

Weird how someone that claims to oppose #oligarchs sure likes hanging out with them at their own events!

#Biden had more than 90 #billionaires supporting him in 2020. Both #AOC & #BernieSanders couldn't wait to endorse him in 2024 & vigorously pushed back against calls for him to drop out after his horrid debate performance when #liberals turned on him.
Here's your champion against the #oligarchy. Couldn't even take a principled stand against #genocide. #BernieSanders still won't acknowledge that what's happening in #Gaza actually is a #genocide.
Over 30,000 people in #Denver showed up to a rally spearheaded by 2 #democratic #socialists, but both parties will keep pretending that #Americans aren't hungry for a real change.
The entire structure of #christian #american #fascist #authoritarianism is just familial abuse structures done at a nationwide scale. Read wild #faith.
Next time the #democrats talk about their friends across the aisle remember that they're talking about going to the #gym with people who think they should have the #right to impregnate 13 year old's & force them to carry to term.
But no, that would be #socialism & we can't have that. Better to destroy the lives of #workingclass people!
It's wild that anyone accepts this.
If demand-reduction is the preferred method of #inflation control, there are much better ways to achieve this: eg, #taxtherich, & use #credit policy to reduce #commercial #bank lending to damaging or unnecessary forms of production that we want to scale down anyhow.
We should talk more about how the dominant approach of #capitalist #economists to controlling #inflation is to periodically throw hundreds of thousands of people out of #work & into misery. This is what passes for " #economic stability" & it is madness.
It's fun how #capitalists say "we can't have #socialism because people don't trust the state!" Mate, we don't trust the state because it is captured by #capital & serves the interest of the #capitalist class. It is precisely *because* of #capitalism that no one trusts the state.
And just to drive a point home for the #GavinNewsom of this world:
You think that #fascists give a single fuck about #women's #sports? You're finding common cause with people who are unconvinced #women should be allowed to vote, & you're taking them at their word?
Not defending the most vulnerable groups makes everyone else *more* vulnerable, not less.
Listening to #Trump’s press conference, my ears are bleeding, he is obsessed w/ #JoeBiden. He continues to blame #Biden for everything. He just accused Biden for currently letting fentanyl into the US—present tense. His mind is all over the place, but relentlessly returns to Biden.
I wonder how much of it has to do w/the fact that Biden was always civil to Trump, inviting him to the WH after the 2024 election, leaving him a letter in the resolute desk, etc.
Trump is sick w/splenetic vitriol.
