I'm a leftist, not a liberal. I'm not a "fan" for any of these capitalists. I just want to minimize damage, and that can't happen with Biden. I hope that clears up any confusion because I'm already getting a lot of comments like "Woo, you're right! That's why we should elect Buttigieg instead" when he's almost precisely as conservative too and misses the point of the video. I'm not "endorsing" anyone because I'm basically nobody, but woof. No.

Americans don't even understand political spectrums and terminology. Democrats like Biden and Mayor Pete are Third way new Democrats which means they are socially liberal and economically conservative. (Btw Biden has a questionable social record alone so let's remember that). While the "far left" candidates like Warren and Sanders are social Democrats which in a global spectrum is pretty center left. The fact that Warren and Sanders are viewed as out of the mainstream is ridiculous. But I'm glad we are at least talking about the damage of supply side economics and expanding the social safety net. But unfortunately this conversation so moving slowly that I'm afraid the sudden change this country needs won't come fast enough

If a fucking conservative dressed as a democrat can barely win, anyone else would've been crushed. It's sad to say given what that implies, but the presidential race was far narrower than it had any right to be.

Also, in a historical turn, Biden selected a sort of black but not too black woman who is also a cop with a ridiculously high rate of prison sentences for African Americans to be his VP! This, too, has appeased the white liberals.

One thing about the Midwest - or "flyover country" in general - Milwaukee was effectively run by the Socialist Party from 1910-1960 with (as we all know from Wayne's World) three socialist mayors. Oklahoma had one of the most active socialist parties in the 1910s before the Red Scare started. After WW1, Alabama's Communist Party (CPUSA) had a very active base with poor black folks. The CPUSA was also active with farmers in Montana. When you have no left alternative or the left is violently suppressed (see: spartacist uprising in post WW1 Germany), people won't turn to the center.

The drug war is actually very effective to do what was made to do. Encarcerate. I live in Brazil, a country that has very similar racial issues to the ones as the US. It was also built on slavery of indigenous and African peoples, with no reparations to the ones who were left with nothing but their bodies. Colonized by the Portuguese and the Dutch, the mixing of races mostly happened through rape. The segregation has a very peculiar way to happen here, but the construction of prisons is one of the most profitable. The massive percentage of encarcerated people are black, 90% because of drugs and minor thefts. The number of people per cell grows every year, yet the streets have never been so dangerous. Still, most of the population believes that to put people in jail and also bit them up real good is the only way to end crime.
