votings not really gonna make things better, voting just stops things from getting worse strikes and disruption and other redacted things are what cause actual meaningful change.

Voting doesn't do poo poo and it is willful ignorance at this point to think so (or you are being disingenuous.) Direct action and striking fear into the ruling class is the only thing that makes any bit of difference.

organized voting especially locally combined with the two other things you said and nationwide militant protesting would probably work or at least be a million times better than the usual worthless lesser-evilism that has lead to exactly where we are now

It would be extremely stupid to claim that Donald Trump personally gave me my passport 100x faster than Biden can personally give me my passport

I'm still not gonna vote for that MF because I know he has no real power over that and just continues to support the same shitdem policies that 2000s republicans would've loved.

I don’t give a poo poo what a bunch of idiots are saying about me. This is what I’ve experienced and what I’ve seen following immigration forums because next year we have to apply for citizenship and I’ve seen that timeline drop significantly too. It’s still an overall poo poo process but way better than the trump years. And Biden reversed poo poo requirements Trump put in place on the green card process. Cornell West is a piece of poo poo, probably worse than Biden. The guy is a grifter hence why Peter Dao joined his campaign. Two grifter peas in a pod.

The Dems have permitted every single basic support structure that was incorporated during the early pandemic to lapse or have actively torn them down. Simple anti-poverty measures like the child tax credit, free lunches for children, eviction moratoriums, expanded Medicaid, things that lead to the biggest reduction in poverty seen in my lifetime or yours that should have been made permanent. All torn down or permitted to lapse. The student debt forgiveness poo poo alone was a joke, a cynical ride Biden and his cronies took young people on for a thing they never intended to deliver. Any young person who is looking at loan payments restarting this month who would still vote for Joe Biden is a total loving sucker.

As opposed to the guy who raped a women, has a long sordid history of being a sex pest, championed the 1997 crime bill, and continues Trumps policies. That Biden guy is totally on the up and up.

Jon Pod Van Damm posted:I was all in on Biden in 2020. Biden has done some good things that these C-SPAM leftists are unwilling to acknowledge. I'm keeping an open mind but I don't see how Biden can win against Trump. I'm sorry, but I have to say that Cornell West is the more realistic option. Can we afford running another weak candidate like in 2016? Trump and MAGA are an existential threat to our democracy. I want someone that can defeat Trump. West is that candidate. SYQ

omg shut up about voting. we live in a plutocracy, voting only exists to launder legitimacy to the plutocracy to do evil things under the guise of "well the people voted for it! if they didn't like it or want something else they should just vote". its a fake veneer meant to disseminate and decentralize the concept of power

Your vote for President is essentially a thoughts & prayers situation but it's fun to pretend it matters and argue about it endlessly. Not the best sport around but reasonably entertaining.

Frosted Flake posted:I like how companies, but we can stretch that out and say governments and nearly every other institution, expect people to act as if social contracts exist without honouring any of it themselves. They want Company Men, who act as if there is a mailroom to boardroom path, or gold watch and pension at retirement, any of that midcentury stuff, really, but they don't actually want to provide it. This really is what it comes down to, they have completely forgotten that loyalty requires some actual incentive, and basically the entire idea of material factors. The ruling class has a Vincent Adultman level understanding of the world they control.

Glumwheels posted:It’s still an overall poo poo process but way better than the trump years  Weird how Trump oversaw the largest increase in green card issuance since the Bush administration and had more of them issued than any year of the Obama administration until 2020 for some weird, unknowable reason.  At least we can all agree that this is all Trump himself, personally, and that literally nothing else happened in the world that could have caused you to experience a delay in the green card process in the past few years. quote:A recent report from the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office of Inspector General detailed the challenges faced by USCIS during the pandemic. The report found that USCIS processing slowed by 33% in 2020 after its offices reopened that July.[2] These delays have added to the backlog of green card cases. At the end of FY 2021, USCIS reported 770,386 pending I-485 cases with 245,490 of these being employment-based.[3] This is only a fraction of the more than eight million total cases pending with USCIS at the end of FY 2021.[4] quote:From March 2020 to May 2021, the USCIS ELIS system was down or experienced performance issues for a total of approximately 2,076 hours.[5] This is equivalent to 259.5 working days (assuming an eight-hour day) over this thirteen-month period. Literally no other factors beyond Joe Biden's personal intervention could be affecting those processing times. Especially not falling numbers of green card applications which would help clear backlogs that mysteriously developed in 2020, again for those unknowable reasons. quote:On Friday, January 21, 2022, USCIS announced that it had received fewer AOS applications in the first (priority workers) and second (workers with advanced degrees or of exceptional ability) employment-based categories than visas available.
