Collins complained that “everybody ignores” her vote to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial.
“What bigger break could there be?” she asked. “It is never enough.”
While Collins touted her breaks with Trump, she was also a pivotal vote for key parts of his agenda. She provided a decisive vote to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, despite sexual assault allegations that he denied. And though she voted against Trump’s Medicaid-cutting “Big Beautiful Bill” on final passage, she was a key vote to advance debate on it.
How are you going to protect the country against fascism if you don’t express authority over capitalists and fascists?
Better question: Socialism is a transitional state between capitalism and… what exactly? First hint: Not anarchy. Call me a tankie all you want but you will not get a classless, stateless society without defending it from capitalist oligarch fascists.
See: China, Cuba, USSR, North Korea, Vietnam, Venezuela, Afghanistan
Expressing authority over capitalists, in U.S. parlance, is called regulation. The US just took a MASSIVE step towards reinstituting the regulation that the Republicans spent 4+2 years stripping., so there’s hope at least
They’re not going to introduce a constitutional amendment to ban capitalism, or whatever magic bullet you’re thinking of, but if we’re lucky they might pass universal healthcare.
Oh wow. “Constitutional amendment to ban capitalism” is cute. Ok when that regulation doesn’t work in 15 years because republicans are still in power, how are we going to reach a classless, stateless Socialist/Anarchist society ? You really believe institutional capitalist oligarchs are going to just hand power over to the people because we amend or regulate the constitution? The same constitution written by White slave owners?
Be mad all you want, I’m describing reality. Feel free to describe the steps they need to take to achieve your end state.
