i was asked why the democrats are so set on losing strategies, & sadly they are not, they are winning. they are one of two parties of capital, funded by the same rich donor class. as long as their class interests aren't threatened they only care about elections in terms of personal career ambitions

this one is for all the liberals who truly, earnestly, want to fight back the tide of fascism as their number one priority: you have to convert to communism. i know some of you still think that's a swear word but i implore you to remember it was the fascists who told you that. it's time

LOOK AT ME I'M A SMALL BUSINESS I HAVE FEWER THAN 50 EMPLOYEES I'M EXEMPT FROM SEVERAL WORKER PROTECTION LAWS

I think if you don't want to buy things from major retailers today or any day that is great, and I would also love for everyone to remember that successful movements usually need to involve labor, and to start thinking of yourself as a worker first and a consumer second

Libs, in victory: see we didn't need the left, fuck them, they get nothing, they ARE nothing Libs, in defeat: we needed the left and they betrayed us, time to call the cops on anne frank

"Crypto streamer shoots himself on an X livestream and is immediately made into memecoin" is one of those really horrifying dystopian stories well beyond anything Gibson conceived that is going to be echoing through my head for a long long time

Was gonna make a joke about a cybertruck driver's kid asking their dad to drop them off a block away from school so their friends don't see them in it but then I remembered they wouldn't be allowed custody

The wildest thing about all the elected democrats going "Dang somebody should really do something" is knowing they'd send the riot cops to fuck. your. shit. up. if you finally took action, scold you for not operating within the law and then *proceed to do nothing*

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

just wanna remind everyone that closing guantanamo is one of the things dems and obama promised to do with their 2009 supermajority and guess fucking what

Liberals on here are addicted to talking to leftists as if we don't disagree with them on a fundamental level They'll see marxist in your bio & think "Ah I bet you also love Pete Buttigieg". Bitch what do you MEAN, I didn't know ANYONE loved Pete Buttigieg

A lot of people are criticizing the democrats who signed on to this but think about it this way: Is this law good? No. Is it moral? No. Will it make the country a better place in any way? No. But will it win them swing votes? Also no.

If your question begins with "Why aren't the democrats" or "Why haven't the democrats" or "Why don't the democrats" the answer is they are actively complicit in the horrors and their opposition to republicans is purely theatrical. they are owned by the same people and have been for at least 40 years

One way to win the economic competition with China would be to make apps that don't suck shit. Have you considered that

one leftist threw one punch and Richard Spencer basically ceased to exist. makes you think.

"The left is to blame for this genocide" -people who refused to call it a genocide until noon on january 29 2025

i am begging people to understand that they are not losers, but collaborators

i wish everyone could understand that the political party you percieve as your ally is working with the political party you percieve as your enemy to sacrifice you and your loved ones on the altar of capitalism and you're cheering it on regardless of what color tie or baseball cap you're wearing

Dressing up in my emotional support Hugo Boss uniform with my favorite Hindu good luck charm to go make some autistic throw my heart to the crowd movements in the town square. Hope no one does ableism against me

Ok but none of this is possible if Biden doesnt sign a bill Apr 2024 banning TikTok unless it sold by 1/19/25. Between this & “Netanyahu and Trump secretly plotted a ceasefire for 6 mo’s while Biden unconditionally armed Netanyahu” does anyone wonder why Biden keeps assisting Trump’s sinister plots?

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

just so we’re clear: the tiktok ban is because people were getting critical information about israel. that sparked a red scare about ~communist china propaganda influencing our youth~ which then became concerntrolling about datamining.

the two things I believe most strongly in this world are that public services should be wholly replaced by the private sector and that the government should intervene instantly the second I personally feel a little bit scared

Tapping the sign a lot these days.

*terrible beatboxing noises* “My name is Mark Z and I’m here to say that i’m letting people use slurs in a different way!”

you know that quote from anthony bourdain about kissinger that is how i am about biden.

While the average American life expectancy is going down, the average age of Congress is going up

it's cool that we're going to pay for this 81 year old congresswoman's healthcare so she can get back to voting for a healthcare system where she won't have to pay for ours

Reminder that for the US welfare state, the point is not to relieve poverty but to best manage the specter of destitution as a means of disciplining the bottom rung of labor. Countless academics point out it's cheaper to simply house people but for the super rich, in the long run, it absolutely isnt

Police are saying that he was "no angel" and is being tested to see if it was fentanyl that killed him and not the bullet

“Cold” has committed another war crime. If you’re curious the piece takes four paragraphs to mention Israel’s role, only vaguely alludes to it once, and makes zero mention of the mounds of evidence starvation and exposure are a deliberate part of Israel’s strategy www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/w...

All of the elite responses to the UHC/Luigi thing seem incapable of grasping that people broadly recognize now that the Proper Channels they insist everyone should direct their grievances into are designed to waste your time, take your money, or both.

It's rare you get such a clear illustration of whose lives have value in America and whose don't

I personally have tried to avoid dedicating my life to the sort of work that gets you gunned down in the street to thunderous applause but to each their own, I suppose

It's really no wonder what a rightward turn the country has taken when Democrats absolutely dug their heels in on the question "can/should children be killed?"
