    massive pessimist just for the sake of the world’s most depressing “win” is not a healthy way to live.

    Healthy cynicism my friend ;).

    Plus, nothing is really pointing to this being a bad thing except your own evident misunderstanding of the situation.

    I see a bunch of idealistic goals that don’t look likely to survive contact with reality. But, like you, I wish him all the best as well.

    Is the Green New Deal still around by the way? Same issue, more or less.

      Literally these things have already been done with success. Your ignorance is not the definition of reality.

      We know for a fact that housing people, keeping rent under control, and even offering free public transport all lead to a stronger economy and far better financial security for the 99%(which is even good for the 1% because it means people can actually buy their shit). This isn’t wishful thinking, it’s been tried in better places and the US is a perfect case study on why the centrist and right-wing ideas don’t work and have never worked.

      You’re not a cynic, you’re poorly informed about the subject.
