    I see you’re the one that responded with a page of why Dems suck when I said the Dems wield power differently but not against Capitalism. Maybe you live in a part of the world where there is no material difference between the two parties but that is not the lived reality for myself or my neighbors. This is not a centrist saying “well actually the Dems don’t suck as much as you say”, it is a Marxist saying you cannot build a coalition while ignoring the material conditions people are experiencing.

      I listed a super long list of dems in congress collaborating with republicans lately. You’re the one saying they suck.

      To a lot of Marxists, “materialism” means only believing in physical things, and pretending the mathematics of electoral systems don’t exist because maths is abstract.

        I suspect they know math but want to hasten the destruction of the middle class, as if it guarantees a revolution.
