but... but then how are we supposed to have pointless struggle sessions? :deeper-sadness:
Would we really be leftists if we didn't spend most of our time fighting amongst ourselves and pulling down potential allies like crabs in a barrel?
We would be real leftists if only we didn’t spend most of our time fighting amongst ourselves and pulling down potential allies like crabs in a barrel.
Me too. I haven't listened to him in a while. I should do that this week.
it’s almost like she’s a human being who sometimes does things that are more good and sometimes does things that are less good.
No this doesn't exist. People are based or cringe, there is no spectrum.
more than that, if their actions and potentials are useful. discard any notion of the individual celebrity personality, altogether.
"When parasocial relationships are all you have, then all you have are relationships that are parasocial." - Mayo Pete Thought
your government is literally bought off. how many times do democrats need to screw you over before you learn
You do realize that "cancelled" and "uncancelled" is a joke, right? Well, maybe someone here did take it seriously 😐
She should explain why Machin, Biden, Obama, Hillary, ect cannot help people. That's the problem with Sanders/AOC/whoever, they don't point a finger at Joe Manchin and say 'He's immiserating you because he literally has to grovel for pocket change from billionaires to run his campaigns. There's no point in moralizing, this is about power.'
Everyone knows politicians should help people, but the power dynamics as to why that doesn't happen are never discussed.
She's one vote out of 435. The real problem is there's only one of her and not 218 AOCs in the House :/
True, but it also comes down to power. AOC doesn't have any because 99% of the Democratic Party are blood curdling psychopaths. She knows this, they know this. The entire party apparatus is incapable of any kind of non-means tested re-distributive policies.
That's why the Dem Party will always co-opt leftists and neutralize them so long as the donor Network is still in place.
What 40 cent?

Lol how many people upvoted that lie just because it said something they liked?
Pathetic, chapos.
it said something they liked
nice materialist class analysis! Can you think of a reason why someone would hate a naval gazing gentrifier who supports imperialist coups?
Materialist class analysis is when we upvote posts with wrong information, got it
At this point just get on with the fucking $1400 checks. After you do that we can move on to bothering you about another round of the goddamn checks for whatever amount
thanks for posting that man - I finally made the effort to look up the exact definition of "means testing" and to my absolute surprise the word means doesn't even refer to the statistical metric of the same name. Whhhooow. Again, thanks for uhm, sort of making me aware of that, comrade, I really though *means testing * ame from econometric analysis ( well it kinda does, but still!)
She's saying that the same people who previously said that "defund the police is too confusing" are now saying that the $1400 checks are not confusing. Shes dunking on the libs
