If Biden wins the Primary, there's 90% chance Trump will be president for another four years as tons of Bernie supporters won't vote for Biden, despite the fact that Biden would have handled stuff like the pandemic better than Trump did. But I'm hoping Bernie pulls off an upset, I'd rather have him as the president even if he won't be able to get much done over either rapist who aren't left enough to benefit the people.
Well the US is kind of shifting to Social Democracy the way they're handling this virus with a UBI and other things so Bernie might have a chance with the delegates after this blows over.

Plus, since Biden decided to disappear during this entire thing, people might switch over to Bernie.

Are they really? I don't remember any mention of UBI other than as suggestion.

Few people I follow on Twitter are still in Biden's camp for some reason.

The whole $1000/Mo for those who lost their jobs because of the virus and EI.

You mean the response to covid, right? He's been nonexistent, while ol Bernie out there still working.

There was statement I heard. Biden is trying to show he'll be better than Trump, while Bernie is trying to do what's best for the people.

This is why we need Mao or Stalin back.

Wait when? I don't remember that being approved, I do know there's a one-time stimulus of $1,200 for almost everyone, with additional $600 per dependent or something.

Yea, that's what I was referring to but I mixed the things up.

People are in the talks about it.

oh. That's not UBI, is it? or is my definition of UBI wrong? I thought an actual UBI would involve getting money every month. I still feel like it won't really help the country move to the left as much as it should.

No you're right I just mixed up my stuff. No, there is a lot of stuff they can do to be more left. Free housing, guaranteed job for everyone, free school. Just like the USSR but I'm the only one that's probably pro-Lenin and Stalin so I won't elaborate.

But the thing is, that's still not enough. YOu underestimate the stupidity of right wing logic and "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" idiots. I mean, after all FDR did, there were still people who voted for the right/Nixon and kept voting republican, reversing or trying to reverse FDR's good policies.

That's what revolution's for. I mean you might call bloodshed or slaughter but there are people who want oppression to say a thing so they stay on top of others. If you are willing to capitalize on the oppression of others, I don't see why you deserve to live. Take the US for example, 45k to 60k people die each year because they don't have proper health insurance and 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck but Capitalism for the win I guess. That's not a crisis?

Trust me, I have watched enough Candace Owens and enough Charlie Kirk to understand right wing idiocy.

You are aware that being a Marxist doesn't mean you have to be pro-Lenin or Stalin...right?

Those guys killed millions in the name of their ideology. Not a situation where you get to keep whatever good you hallucinate about them and not the bad...

So then you unironically support Leninist and Stalinist policies? I guess I sort of understand the former more than the latter, but I generally think no one with any sense would advocate for a dictatorship of any sort, regardless of what the intended goal is.

Revolution doesn't seem like it'll help much, not until the right wing stop being so conservative and dumb.
White supremacy and patriarchy will try to prevent or undo any revolution going on as well. Capitalism is shit and needs to be changed or cancelled, but people fear that happening. even some poor people are brainwashed into thinking the wealthy are necessary or good for the country, or capitalism is the wave.

You do realize the right will never stop right?

It's mainly the power of the media. People who watch CNN and Fox all day will eventually fall victim to the brainwashing.
