I'm sure it's going to be worse for my nieces and closeted nephew (assuming that my gaydar is correct).

I used to think it sucked having conservative Mexican parents; but maga parents are on a whole other level of worse.

Clearly so since yours got so many that she was actually competitive and so unpopular that not even your fellow democrats showed to vote for her

Or just some random low level bureaucrat who has more power than both the presidency or congress whenever things like the minimum wage or the equal right amendment comes up.

If not; then 1 or 2 Democrats to do the same thing with affordable healthcare ... Twice

... the left has to organize at grassroots level, by talking to friends and neighbors, organizing mutual aid, and so on...

my ruling class has made it clear that they don't believe that my fellow countrymen are capable of doing this anymore based on their reaction to the luigi and the worker strikes that have afflicted my country since the election and i hope that it's just my american liberal indoctrination convincing me so.

i love it when my legal system is forced to show its true colors instead of all the lofty bullshit of “the rule of law”

i hope it’s televised somehow so that i can watch the judge kowtow in real time to the reality of the system he himself probably doesn’t want to accept and tell himself that “it’s just this one time”

i wonder if these farmers could somehow borrow a page from the chinese playbook since they're in control of a natural resource like the chinese have with gallium.

i suppose then the government can force them off the land and they would need to advertise a nuclear option like salting or oiling their fields before something like that happens.

It is important to break free from the illusions peddled by the liberals and the conservatives alike...

the liberals are telling us to be nice to each other while the conservatives slowly engulf the anglosphere with their effective propaganda; it's so effective that the other closest spheres life the french, germans & italians are likewise being subsumed.

... But we must see these comforting lies for what they are. We must awaken to the necessity of systemic change, and the possibility of a new world...

so how is this possible when the biggest liberal parties will take no responsibility nor take any action to buck the trend i described above and meanwhile telling their followers to "be nice to each other" (translation: be nice to the fascists) while the entire western world devolves further into fascism?

“In response to COVID-19, our CoC saw an influx of rapid rehousing and prevention resources, as well as an effective statewide eviction moratorium,” reported a suburban CoC in the northeastern part of the US. “These efforts were effective in keeping households from entering into homelessness and moving households out of homelessness quickly. Since the sunsetting of these resources and the ending of the eviction moratorium, our COC has seen a large influx of new families and individuals seeking emergency shelter assistance.”

Indeed, Biden’s administration oversaw the rollback of COVID-19 social services and protections, including unemployment, additional public healthcare, and eviction moratoriums throughout the country. The administration also oversaw one of the largest increases in cost of living in recent history, which still plagues the people of the US.

they rolled back the solution and then blamed immigrants; the democrats didn't shift right, they're already rightists.

“A strong domestically owned and operated steel industry represents an essential national security priority and is critical for resilient supply chains.”

that guy is using this excuse too many times; he's starting to sounds like mccarthy during the red scare of the 1950's

FASCINATING AF perspective suggesting that luigi is a member of the class that benefits from our system, but rejected it out of ignorance because he (and most younger people like him of that class) identify with the systematically violated poor due to luigi (and others like him) mostly not consuming the mainstream, legacy media that re-enforces the system.

due to this, the real danger for the ruling class is not he 99%; but rather their younger generations who are siding with the violated poor out of ignorance that they will inherit the reigns of this system because the ruling class has focused so much on sending the message that the system is invincible to the poor, that they unwittingly have given their own younger generation the same message thanks to the internet & social media.

each time the ruling class responds with zealously overwhelming force to protect the system and shore up that sense of invincibility; it becomes more self-defeating since it prods their younger generations to rail against the system even further until luigi; as a member of that predatory ruling class; used his class' privileged perspective to take the kind direct action that's not available to the poor.

if true, i think this explains why all of the super powers have been working so hard to curtail internet access and social media presences that don't tow the official narratives like tiktok and maybe explains why so many of the ruling classes' young, like hasan piker, have such strongly leftists views despite their immensely wealthy background.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “But Palestinians are not just numbers. Behind these numbers are real people — mothers, fathers, sons, daughters — who have had their lives stolen from them and their families torn apart. And we should not be trying to hide it. These are innocent children and babies who have been bombed in their tents, burned alive, dismembered and deliberately starved to death. Where is our shared humanity in this chamber? There is so much anti-Palestinian racism in this chamber that my colleagues don’t even want to acknowledge that Palestinians exist at all, not when they’re alive and now not even when they’re dead. It’s absolutely disgusting. This is genocide denial.”
