not even any property damage—they’re upset about damage to the property of a trillion dollar company.

who gives a shit? nobody who watches fox news is ever going to vote democrat, nor were they ever going to have a positive opinion about democrats.
this is all rhetorical from my end: I understand that democrats do right-wing things because they are right-wing, not because they get outmaneuvered.

It’s actually really easy to vote against bad things and say “if my republican colleagues want to secure my vote, I’ll say the same thing I said when they came to me in private: remove this section and bring it back to vote.”

why would I want to learn about the other side of the political spectrum? It’s just people who think introducing a blood sucking middleman into necessary public services will make them cheaper, and people who think some of my friends don’t deserve to live based on their identity.

“just comply in advance, then everything will be fine” - the advice of very dumb cowards

democratic electeds are an enemy to the demonstrators, that’s why they are admonishing them—not in an effort to distance themselves from a problematic ally.

kinda feel like it’s not possible to be a leftist on a website owned by a nazi, which inherently supports said nazi. (this is not an “and yet you participate in society, I am very smart” take, because it’s a shitty easily replaced microblogging website, not society.)

blaming the powerless is fun and easy though. same reason immigrants, people who can’t vote, are such a popular bugaboo: there’s nothing they can do to punish you for it.

why are you putting jokes in quotes like it’s something I said?

yes, it’s bad that that results in 8 years in prison. why are you explaining that it’s a crime like I should give a shit? a lot of laws are bad, and a lot of legal punishments are bad.

literally so embarrassing that there’s a single person anywhere in the government that didn’t intuitively know this from day zero. if justice existed (it doesn’t) everyone who didn’t oppose this decision would be ousted for being either too corrupt or too stupid to be permitted to serve the country.

just aggressively ticket every car that parks over the line. I bet they’ll buy a smaller one next time, or maybe bike places.

Every Cuomo booster is presumably like “Sure, maybe he’s going to make every woman who has to work near him feel justifiably unsafe at work, but at least he will also make the city much worse.”

plus, even if they weren’t lying, I would much rather tax dollars go towards providing medical care to illegal immigrants than basically anything the GOP actually wants to spend it on. (handouts for billionaires and boots for our necks)

how is elon such a loser that he had infinite access to the entire government for months and the hottest goss he can drop to hurt trump is something literally everyone on earth has known for like 6 years?

you get that this is a widely used image macro template and has nothing to do with Sanders’s politics, right?

it’s genuinely pathetic and embarrassing. The maximally funny screenshots are people being very unequivocal about what kind of person you are if you buy harry potter shit… posted on elon musk’s website.

lmao, until I read past the top-line numbers I thought this was made by protesters explaining the concrete benefits of getting in the way.

It’s cool how even though all rich people become brain-damaged over time, they manage to come up with all different kinds of brain damage, just to keep the horrors fresh.

elon musk got all of those surgeries and has more money than anyone has ever had and even after bribing his subordinates with horses he still gets turned down

means testing is democrat bread and butter, and has been for a long long time. it’s their favorite way to claim they offer a helpful program but avoid actually spending any money on it.

frequently the artist will own or co-own the song, as a concept, but they will not own the recording. They can release a new recording, (as Kesha and Bonnie Mckee have done) but whenever the original plays on the radio, the money goes to someone else, and they can’t license its use to others.

people turned out to vote for biden, and he repaid them by doing literally nothing to prevent or mitigate the current situation. if harris had won she too would have done nothing and then some other nazi would have won in 2028 because people aren’t eager to vote for someone who didn’t do anything.

how about we apply enforcement that is the same as cars, made proportional to the number of people each of them kills.
Considering that there are people with hundreds of school zone speeding tickets still licensed, I think a proportional legal punishment might be to give e-bikers a stern “tsk tsk”

comment in response to

democrats are, in fact, centre-right. neoliberalism is a right-wing ideology. bombing people to stop them from being socialist is right-wing. putting kids in cages is right-wing. means-testing is right-wing.

my first ever time in the EU was moving there, which I did to get away from car culture, which I got mad about by just existing in NYC, so probably this was always gonna happen. 😄

what domestic issues? he didn’t stop trump from getting elected, he didn’t do anything to stop the supreme court from going insane, he didn’t do anything to help more people get healthcare or wages. his whole thing was that he woule “cross the aisle”, which he did: to the right.

you can create a custom feed algorithm that behaves in any arbitrary way you like.
it requires programming, and hosting the feed yourself, so it’s not trivial, but it can be done.

among all of the other reasons it’s a bad argument, it presumes that everyone is only eating what they must, which is a completely ridiculous assumption basically anywhere in the west, and particularly in america.

lol at republicans looking at an entire generation barely making ends meet with two incomes and no kids and going “just have a kid and quit your job. bing bong, so simple”
comment in response to

they don’t actually believe in anything and they only listen to mckinsey consultants who have never been inside a grocery store or spoken to someone whose income is less than 7 figures.

if they lose an election sucking up to marc andreessen they can go work for marc andreessen. if they lose an election having principled beliefs, they can’t. your mistake is assuming democrats actually want to win elections.

Americans are responsible for Trump, Israelis are responsible for Netanyahu. People in this countries who don’t like those facts should do something about it.

unfortunately, people do want to go back. I live one train stop from Amsterdam, and people whine constantly about there not being enough parking, speed limits are too low, roads are too narrow, etc.
They don’t care that there were mass protests against what they want not even 50 years ago.
