Those "strongly worded letters" have a purpose in the legal process, more so than strongly worded sm posts. So it's interesting people mostly doing the latter are shitting on people doing the former.

The public didn't listen to any of them (sans Bush) when they gave impassioned speeches to vote against fascism. Why tf would anyone listen now?

Where did I say I was fighting? I'm just not sure why you saw someone say women and your default assumption was white? Whenever I volunteer for anything political or not, the vast majority of volunteers are women so his post is true. What point were you trying to make?

He didn't say white. Also, have you ever volunteered for any elections, or community focused orgs, or political organizing, or any volunteer anything? Because his post is just a reflection of reality. The volunteers are majority the demo in his post.

Jfc you don't know him. Why would you have "no question" about this man you do not know? He hasn't done anything to earn that from strangers.

It's possible to affect change without causing destruction and making yourself the main character. The other vice chairs have managed to do it. He's not better at it, he's just louder about it and better about centering himself.

The people who would replace Hogg at the DNC are young and diverse. The idea that he, as a young white guy who got into his position by a bending of the rules, is singularly representative of the youth is hella problematic. He does not.

So it's not shocking that a Black woman is fed up with where the party is headed. It's not shocking Black Americans are done. White people hijacked the party, they Jan 6thed it.

White people on the left spent 2020 yelling that they were going to do better. As soon as they saw that the president that Black America lifted into office would focus on institutional racism first and not their pet issues, they revolted. They felt entitled to be prioritized. So they punished him.

You're trying to make me cry on a Friday!? During the second day of Asshole Civil War!? How dare you!

Oh, and the GOP were soooo strategic because for the first time in decades, people believe the government should do more. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I guess.

You know who doesn't get to lecture anyone about missing the forest for the trees? A fucking member of the media. The nerve.

This is happening too much lately. Making up a fake problem to get angry at is a MAGA thing. The left needs to stop it. There are plenty of real problems to worry about.

Oh she's actually like a California girl who married the son of a very wealthy land owning rancher family. So she didn't even grow up in the middle of Idaho or Oklahoma or wherever tf they own half the land of the state.

Lack of a fire department and public works department causes the exact consequences you think it does. This book is very funny.

I also at some point want to ask the earn my vote crowd why they've adopted what is, effectively a framing of politics as capitalism?

I wondered the same thing - so I made this:

We leave our son alone in the backyard. It's fenced in and our kitchen/living room is basically all windows so we watch him the whole time. My mom was freaked out that we do that. A boomer who left me alone to wander around a docked cruise ship at 11 while she was on land. Times change.

The helicopter parent thing is new. I'm a millennial and the amount I was left alone and was free to just wander in populated areas and in the woods would have child services called on my mom now. They only worried if you weren't home by dark.

Isn't the Senate working on that budget bill that will collapse American healthcare? What's his ass doing across the ocean?

She will be naming names regarding who torpedoed Biden. We need that information, because those assholes need to have no power in the party, like now.
It's pretty weird that you don't have a single post about Tapper, though, I gotta say.

Bum. In 2023 he owed half a million in unpaid taxes. He owed $750k in the early aughts which he paid down before accruing the $500k over like 10 years or so.

He's not even a good pretend socialist/commie because he doesn't pay his taxes.

I now think it's real because Elon said Trump didn't win without him & called him a pedo and Trump is threatening Elon's contracts. That's the rubicon. However, I don't think it ultimately matters because the GOP is still churning away with the bill. ICE is still kidnapping.

Of course it is. Who else would it be honestly? If they won't read, maybe they'll listen to her talk about the people who backstabbed Biden.

Yes, I'm interested in hearing what she has to say. Especially with all of this confusion as to the topic of the book.

When I went as an exchange student to Germany, we were told by our American teacher running the program that we should be aware that it might be seen as wasteful if we expect to shower everyday. Because THEY didn't shower daily. Even white Americans were seen as showering too much.

It's wild because medieval Europeans did bathe. Public bathhouses were a big thing, hot springs are big in Northern Europe. The Europeans who didn't bathe often... the aristocracy. So maybe white people are copying rich Europeans?

Someone pointed out that he wasn't even alive for 9/11 and that feels like a basic requirement.

My family is descended from stinky neanderthals too and figured out that washing is important so these other white people really have no excuse not to evolve. That woman is neglecting her kids.

I wish you luck! My insomnia issues destroyed my mental health, I don't think people understand how bad insomnia can be. Sleeping pills can really mess with the quality of sleep and make you groggy, so I don't blame you. Took anxiety meds to fix my sleep. I hope you can get some relief soon!
