    Anything of material consequence

    Which he’s done. Ask one of the people who were pardoned from their federal possession charges, or received student loan relief. If those aren’t material consequence you’ll need to more clearly define what you mean by the term.

    this is the difference between liberals and communists.

    So you understand neither term

    You think bourgeois politicians act in good faith or have your actual material interests at heart.

    Where did I say that? I said he has backed up his intent for student loan relief with action even when meeting resistance.

    You have a purely aesthetics understanding of politics.

    Says the guy who has one comment and knows my outlook on all political matters

    Even if he actually did any of that in the way you think he did and I somehow benefitted from those things, I still wouldn’t vote for him

    So you’re a liar. I had need of a lawyer once and he told me it was fine if I didn’t remember something and said so. It wasn’t ok if I said something happened one way and it didn’t because then I was a liar and he couldn’t help anymore. You devalue your own words. You’d do well to think on that beyond any assumptions about my feelings on our legal system.

    with all the material appeals in the world if it means being complicit with genocide in return for table scraps.

    Then don’t claim that it can be done. I’m also interested in what your viable suggestions for better with the tools we have are. That appears to be the difference between you and I. I’m interested in what change can actually happen to improve people’s lives. It looks a whole lot like you want to move immediately into “no bad things”. Letting perfect be the enemy of good.

    Fuck you and everyone like you

    And that’s a big reason you’ll get exactly nowhere. Name me a person who has enacted major change for their people without working with someone who they disagreed with and I’ll reconsider.

    Wake the fuck up.

    Likewise
