“If it hadn’t been for those diddling kids…”

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.”

There’s no such mention of the rapture at all in the Bible. It was invented in the 19th century.

The silver-lining is this announcement may open up avenues for international asylum for trans people before shit starts going down.

Fuck Brendan Carr

They don’t have majority in confirmation hearings. Vance is the tiebreaker. The only nominee who didn’t pass was Gaetz, and that was because Republicans voted against him too.

I use Homebridge on a Pi for a secure camera feed. It works well.

You can safely add Amazon electronics to that meme too.

The extended scene leaves no room for misunderstandings.

Typical all or nothing response. Let’s forget the 535 members of Congress have primaries every 2-4 years so we can complain that ‘it was either Fetterman or Dr. Oz’ when Fetterman beat three primary contenders, two of whom were progressive, in a primary that saw <9% turnout.

If you think abstaining is the solution, why has it only made things worse for the last 40 years?

All Debbie Wasserman-Schultz succeeded in doing was shorting Bernie on ad revenue. If we did our civic duty in learning about the candidates on the primary ballot and voted in every election, that wouldn’t have mattered at all.

I’m a member of DSA, and they have a far better strategy than trying to rally around a third-party. It’s all about the Democratic primaries.

Why must it be one or the other? Do you really believe the best strategy is to focus all of your efforts in one direction?

I don’t care if you play. I’m merely saying how continuing to do nothing is pointless. Good luck complaining the government out of power.

That’s a form of cognitive distortion, not a political strategy. Mamdani won against 10 other candidates because we showed up. We have literal evidence that’s all it takes. Quit with the victim mentally and take your country back.

Then show up and vote in the primaries🤷‍♂️

All they can do to him is withhold funding. He won the primary with a grassroots campaign. The part you really don’t understand is that short of voter suppression or ballot tampering, we control the election.

Do you eat fast food everyday because of advertising or do you choose to be self-informed and eat healthy? Do you blame Big Lettuce for not advertising salads enough?

If you’re honestly expecting a three-party system to emerge from FPTP, you need to work on your mathematics.

Correct. What caused the Democrats to move right over the last 40 years were the retirees who continuously voted for centrist conservatives in primaries. They’re the only ones who always show up, hence the <15% congressional primary attendance.

Mamdani got the NYC primary up to a record 30%. That’s all it takes for us the move the Overton Window back to the left.

Oh, then by all means. Maybe show up to a Democratic primary once in a while and you’ll get your chance.
