    I’m not sure what you expect Pritzker to do, exactly

    Weird…

    You don’t have any idea what powers a Governor has?

    I’ve noticed that a common thing in people which positive feelings toward neoliberal governors.

    They control the police, they can arrest ICE for harassing citizens of their state against their wishes.

    Like…

    You know we fought a whole civil war over this, right?

    The slave states wanted to send feds into free states to “deport” free Black people to the south to be slaves. Lincoln refused, and the South started a war they lost.

    But since the oligarchs bought off both parties to push for a stronger fed now everyone is convinced that we have a strong fed that can do shit like this and states are powerless.

    Even when it’s literally an oligarch doing this shit.

    If someone has a billion dollars they’re not on the people’s side. Which should be really easy to tell when someone has multiple billions, yet here we are

      I’ve noticed a common thing in the type of people who accuse others of having positive feelings toward nEoLiBeRaL governors.

      They have no concept of how nuanced topics work.

      All you all can do is smugly accuse people of shit they’re clearly not doing- and it is because you cannot imagine that it is possible for a thing to not be either black or white.

      The person you responded to said nothing positive at all about Pritzker. They simply stated facts as they see them. YOU saw it as your shining moment to arrogantly punch down at someone that simply shared their take.

      Your shit smells just as bad as everyone else’s. The sooner you come to terms with this, the sooner people will start taking you seriously.

      I’m blocking you now, but by all means, feel free to respond with whatever rhetoric you feel compelled to hurl my way. I’ll be sure to read it as soon as possible!

        I’m blocking you now,

        You don’t need to notify people, it works without that…

        Not gonna join in on the insults tho.

        Although, it should be obvious why the fans of billionaires never want to talk about what actually can be done.
