Anyone remember that super long speech Jefferies gave? It was a record setter. The content was also quite good. It had 20 viewers on YouTube.

When we say team... what do we mean? Specifically who is on that team? And where do they live?

We need to develop an understanding that climate denial is first and foremost ideological and not driven by the supposed ‘non-ideology’ of rational self-interest/greed

Everyday I am being negatively polarized against plastic surgery as a concept

This is another guy that we should have dealt with on January 7th.

Its a fantastic book. After I read it I started rereading the next day.

what can i say, except that capitalism is too important to be left to the capitalists

I actually disagree here because a lot of my job is suing scumbag eviction attorneys (who are also, legally speaking, debt collectors) and the landlords who hire them. below-market private landlords in particular are fucking demonic.

Most of the crazy and wild shit people on here say about landlords and rentals would be better directed towards the debt collection industry. That best people in that industry are evil.

The world was truly robbed by by not John not getting way more work. His has such a big energy and is soo good at this stuff. I honestly don't care much for the movie but every scene Leguizamo is fantastic.

They genuinely don't have anything better to do. These are not people capable of great things. That she was so capable, that trans people can attain successes they must win with lies & slander, gnaws at them. Even when they win, for them it has no savor

My unformed "protest math" is something like: When a protest has tens of thousands of people, the prospect of a Zealous Weirdo thinking they can get off their newspapers and megaphone takes...drops. When a protest has a "school assembly's worth", every group on earth thinks "now's the time".

Me everytime someone shows me a picture of Gavin Newsome

Absolutely insane the book got her fired rather then the book being something she wrote for cash because of being fired for the behavior she wrote about in the book.

FEDPOSTING FEDPOSTING FEDPOSTING

This seems to happen the first few days of every month now.

My mom had Parkinson's and this looks a lot like it when she was struggling to get her medication right. If he doesn't have that disease he is doing very stupid and dangerous things to his body and brain.

THE USPS IS A GOD DAMN WORLD WONDER.

I know its not reporters fault but holy god the headlines are just so bleak. Not bleak in bad news, they are that, but like treating kids lives like generic political horse racing...

but for real, some people should ponder the implications of “a group of RW mega-rich people paid to build up a network of lawyers, judges, and law profs who wanted to tear down everything the 20th Century did”, and how the liberal law and our institutions had diddly to answer for it.

It would be an age of miracles if we were strong enough to admit that and stop clinging to old bitter fights.

If dems really want to fix military culture then breaking up operators groups like seals is probably a requirement.

kissy kitties 😘

I think this is, unfortunately, correct for a host of reasons, including selfish ones. South American fishermen don't have the power to do reprisals but we are going to get into a shooting war with somebody with a Navy at some point and they'll wonder how their shipwrecked will be treated.

I LOVE DOOR KNOCKING FOR TEN FUCKING YEARS IN A ROW AND DONATING THE WHOLE TIME ITS SUPER FUN TO DO THAT AND BE TOLD THE BEST BY THE FUUCKING DO IS JEFFERIES AND SCHUMER. SUPER AWESOME TO HAVE THOSE CUNTS TRIAGE AGAINST MY STATE EVEN AFTER WE RESUSCITATED DEMOCRACY HERE.

I really think this is a huge part of it. That no dems in the senate truly believe trump would do something so crazy as a real war. Which I sort of see where they are coming from... other spots he did a bombing, declared victory, and fucked off.

Its ok to want better things.

a decade plus of a variety of fusses have throughly blackpilled me to the idea of a “clean” protest anymore. and strategically, it’s always gonna be easy for the toadies to ruin that standard for anything that pops up, so I’m hoping to ascend past that hurdle, if possible.

Wasn't that the plot of Gears of War?

Can anyone explain what is meant by "if the administration launched an attack."? Because if they mean another attack on random boats that's fine probably. If it means bombs inside Venezuela and boots on the ground then its less then useless. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Watching a friends kid masking the opposite direction to "turn up the autism" so other people would believe him was frankly awful to see and did not help my view of society at large.

Unironically yes, build a sexbot AI that pushes people into feminism and emotional depth

Any revolution without dancing is not a revolution worth having. I forgot who said that but it was true then and it's true now.

Every discourse there is a dem defender that whines dems shouldn't bother because they won't get credit from the worst online dipshits. Fuck off with that. Dems should do stuff cause its the right stuff not because its going to get respect from idiots up past their bed time.

Smaller parties, like DSA, feel like foreign policy is to big and hard and complicated for them so the just dodge or outsource. I feel what they should be doing is making it simple and answer clearly. Just say "we stand with the oppressed." with non-campist overtones.

4) That orgs as unhinged as Code Pink and PSL are so visible in street-level organizing should prompt feelings of embarrassment and reflection on the part of the Democratic Party

I think congress needs to assert it war powers before an invasion. Congress (especially the senate) have been absolutely out to lunch on asserting their powers and this doesn't change that. If trump lands troops there is no way to get to 50 votes. Your going to need to peel them off before.

Remember when everyone around here was talking about the party should be doing stuff like clubs and union-type halls and all that crap? Where did any of the go? Did anyone anywhere try any of that? That is probably related to the fact dipshit campists are filling the war protest void.

Its like clockwork. DSA does some cool stuff like help getting a promising mayor elected to the largest city. And I think to my self, maybe I should join. Then they follow it up with a protest that that says "hey look at all our campist and sex pest friends".

Also station wagons died because we allow 5 ton murder boxes on the road rather then doing proper regulations. Station wagons can't come back until we stop exempting trunks from regulaitons.

Look at that fucking guy... He has a manicured 5 o'clock shadow and expensive haircut that designed to look exactly like he only spent 15 bucks on. He is spending serious money on his look to look like crap. We are still doing the scruffy genius too busy to groom proper look.

I fucking hate how stupid and unattached to reality these people are. Its intolerable.

Its going to be some overly online weirdo that no one has every heard of isn't it?

Giving cis women in T so they can break their husbands in half counts as gender affirming care

The senate is unreformable. It has to be abolished in practice.

Has anyone checked up on this guy lately?

you, a fool: fukuyama was wrong because stuff kept happening me, an intellectual: fukuyama was wrong because the lack of purpose he describes is not an inherent function of liberalism but a result of a failure to metabolize containing Russia or global warming mitigation as sources of meaning

Genuinely interested if there are any other groups where themselves don't have the highest favorable ratings compared to a different but close community?

I dont think all our problems come back to leadership but ... One way authoritarians win is the normalization of corruption. Jefferies is doing that for him.
