Letting the government shut down is literally the only point of leverage the Dems have. This is them actually doing something for the first time in almost a year of Trump 2.0.

The alternative is just letting all the cuts the want to make in this budget go through uncontested in a complicit abdication to the fascist, patently betraying their constituency (even more than they already largely have).

If there’s any hostility it was initiated by yourself my friend. Feel free to see yourself out.

Brother I only said what I said because you literally said you thought me saying it was weird.

If you want to look at living standards you can compare cost of living, access to public transportation, cost of food, medicine, you name it. Its all cheaper and rapidly approaching parity with the west, if not already surpassing it.

But again living standards are often highly correlated with approval of your nation and the government running it.

I mention “independent studies” because people are insane and will call anything pro-China you say as just Chinese propaganda.

You’re just talking out your ass here lmao. This is objectively not true.

China has better infrastructure. Better education. Better affordable healthcare (and they are rapidly about to eclipse the US in our capabilities). 90+% of Chinese people own their own homes. China is one of the safest countries in the world.

What freedom are you talking about? The freedom to die on the streets from preventable illness? The freedom to work 40+hrs a week and live out of your car because you are priced out of housing? The freedom to get shot at the grocery store because someone with a gun is having a mental episode? The freedom to get brutalized by an unaccountable police force?

What freedoms are you talking about?

Do you think a people who were living in poverty and had terrible living conditions would be overwhelmingly supportive of their government? Come on now think for a second here.

Compared to the robust system of democracy in the US where corporations buy elections and the average person never gets to see a single policy enacted that benefits them? Is that what you’re comparing China to?

You say this like it’s an own when it’s actually China flexing on us.

That’s funny because literally China is one of the countries with the highest approval of their government by independent studies.

So even if you’re telling the truth the vast majority of the Chinese people disagree with your sentiment.

Ah nothing of substance to add got it

I’d love to hear one thing you think China is doing that is bad that the US is not also doing to larger degree. Please enlighten me.

Pick any city in the Midwest and compare to any proportionally sized city in China. Like just about. Infrastructure is crumbling everywhere in this country while China has built more high speed rail than every other nation on the planet combined.

The priorities speak volumes.

Tell me you have no idea of the history of Tibet without telling me

Me posting dispelling obvious Israeli propaganda on any subreddit. Exhausting.

It is funny from a morbid perspective when you consider how complicit the Dems have been thus far. Funny in a “haha I’m crying on the inside because our country is so cooked” kinda way

Locally here there are constantly pro Palestine displays or protests. I attend what I can when I can but the efforts have been split a lot with other mutual aid and direct action campaigns to push back on ICE raids and trans rights infringements and other stuff like that. At least this is how things have shifted in recent month in organizations I’m in.

Also consider the US media is all complicit in this genocide and suppress the ever loving shit out of any Palestine mobilization when they can. They have to lest the people who still somehow haven’t gotten out in the streets over this finally wake up seeing it on their screen all the time.

Good luck Google. I’m already pissed that Microsoft is trying to spy on me on my computer - you think I’m gonna let you do that too now?
