Surviving within the system doesn’t mean you believe in or support said system
Cool, but that’s not what the article said…
Socialism used to be something we Americans picked up in our freshman dorm room and dropped right around the time HR walked us through the concept of a 401(k) match
Like…
I quoted the literal words from the article, explained my issue with them…
And your response to that was essentially:
But what if it wasn’t what they said, what if they said the opposite?
it also appears to be a sign of increasing independence.
China isn’t giving shit away for free, and the Houthis are funded by Iran…
It’s just probably easier to get the supplies from China, because trump isn’t going to fuck with China.
There’s no legitimate reason to have DHS or TSA to begin with.
There’s zero benefit, and neither existed before 9/11
He seems like the best of us.
Like I said…
The policy is what people want, it’s why they’re popular.
They only seem like they’re unusually charismatic on top of that, because we’re used to neoliberals and Republicans who can’t just do the easy popular stuff, because they’re bankrolled to stop it.
Not trying to take anything away from him, he put the work in.
But the only reason people think he’s exceptional is they’re used to neoliberals being pushed thru biased primaries
Which is literally the best defense against political assaninations and what Bernie’s been screaming from the rooftop for generations: That it’s easy to stop a person but no one can stop a nationwide movement
If any politician is essential to the movement, than we’re fucking up and need to fix it before it’s exploited. Same reason term limits are a good thing even if it makes some household progressive names leave the stage. Numbers are vastly on our side. The vast majority of people (when their basic needs are met) are decent people and would make great political representatives.
That’s why the oligarchs arent satisfied having more, they want the rest of us under the mental effects of resource scarcity because that prevents us from uniting against them and taking our shit back. But all it takes to beat that, is people feeling like they have access to enough resources that they can afford to care about others. Very few people keep choosing money, and most of them are just due to the fear of being with the masses. If the masses are fine, there goes the stick that keeps them class traitors.

I hate when people project their own failings onto everyone else to feel better about themselves…
Loads of people can personally accumulate wealth well past entry level.office work and not sell out their class.
Also pretty underhanded to call utility monopolies socialism when it’s a capitalist monopoly. If basic services operate for profit, it doesn’t matter if the city or a corp gets the profits. It shouldn’t be free, but public utilities just should never turn a profit.
I can barely even remember if I played 2, but I remember his name from 1. He was in charge of Overwatch 1, and decided to make himself personally the public face of the game…
And once he did that, it wasn’t just downhill, it was 90mph towards the Grand canyon.
The same thing rotted his brain that rots every billionaire’s brains.
It’s not about the money, it’s about a person achieving game while being mostly surrounded by people whose careers depends on what you think of them. You stop getting any negative feedback and everyone tells you you’re stunning and brave no matter what.
He’s a great politician and he’s most like going to win…
But I can’t wait until people stop acting like the reasons progressives are popular is it’s all a one off and because of the candidate.
It’s not.
The policy is what people want, it’s why they’re popular.
They only seem like they’re unusually charismatic on top of that, because we’re used to neoliberals and Republicans who can’t just do the easy popular stuff, because they’re bankrolled to stop it.
If Talarico had never entered polticis, there’d still be a shit ton of Texans who could run campaigns just as effective as Talarico did.
That’s how democracy is supposed to work, when politicians actually represent the people, who the representative is doesn’t really matter.
People are just so used to political corruption and rigged primarie, it’s going to be a while before they understand that doesn’t have to be the default.
Be careful with the whole “enemy of my enemy” thing, billionaire owned media not liking him is a good sign, but it should never be the only thing to look at.
The big thing is he basically doesn’t have to do anything and he understands that…
We don’t want a DNC that tries to guide the party, that’s been the problem for decades.
We need a DNC whose only two concerns are:
Get a Dem into the oval
Get majorities in the House and Senate
It’s that fucking easy to make progress. And we could have been here ~18 years earlier if Obama had just appointed a progressive DNC chair in 09.
Skimmed the article but they don’t even mention fiber so clearly don’t know what they’re talking about.
They even brought up the most common example of guidelines changing, but instead of explaining it just didn’t…
We’ve all seen the headlines saying that “eggs are good for you” – then they’re bad, then they’re good again. If you’d followed the science, it’s more that we thought this one thing about eggs, then we did more studies and found there was more to the story, and, since then, the advice has been pretty consistent – but it’s hard to attract attention with that. If you want to make clickbait, you can say something quite plausible that’s not scientifically accurate.
A lot of cholesterol in your blood is very bad.
Eggs have a lot of cholesterol.
The reason eggs aren’t bad, is no one is mainlining eggs…
That cholesterol goes into your lower intestine and gets digested, and once again fiber is important because stuff like that binds to it and gets carried out. But what doesn’t get pooped out whole is turned into diglycerides and fatty acids like most other lipids.
None of the cholesterol you eat ever directly enters your blood stream
I could be dissuaded if someone was able to produce any pics or footage of Nancy being very girly-girl or feminine.
If it wasn’t three months before midterms, I might wonder why so many people are portraying themselves as leftists but acting exactly like maga…
People can dress however the fuck they want, even if they’re shitty people. There’s valid reasons to shit on them if that’s your goal.
Stop acting like Jefferies controls anything…
He got elected because Jamie Harrison’s DNC was willing to bankrupt any state party with reps who didn’t fall in line.
Not only do neoliberals not control the DNC or Victory Fund, Martin drained that shit and gave it back to state parties, which is why we’re “suddenly” flipping a shit ton of seats, we’re actually trying to win majorities so anDem president can get shit down.
The neoliberal goal was always obstructing progress and siding with Republicans for the wealthy.
But the only way neoliberalism gains any ground again, is if idiots stop voting D because of billionaire propaganda

He will remain useful to someone to avoid that fate.
When are people going to learn these billionaire narcissists don’t care what we say about them, just that we talk about them.
This post and everything about her, is what she wants you to do.
I’m understanding when maga falls for this shit, but it’s so fucking depressing to see people on the left incapable of seeing they’re being manipulated
He will remain useful to someone to avoid that fate
That’s not how any of this works…
We have a non biased party, the option to run an uncorrupted candidate willing to do what’s right is wide open. Elmo has zero power over that, that’s why he keeps spending so much money to prevent it…
There’s a lot of shit to do in 2029, but seizing Starlink from Elmo has a place on the list.
Starts demonstrating to billionaires that taxes are the least of their worries. We really can just take all their shit and tell them to fuck off, or even better throw them in actual gen pop federal prison.
Start doing shit like that, and suddenly they’ll be falling over each other to pay taxes and keep their noses out of geopolitics.
The only way that seems logical is if you thought what I said about “basic services shouldn’t operate for profit” somehow meant that no one providing labor for those services should be paid…
And then public employees would need to just seize what they need to survive.
But that can’t be what you meant, can it?
