  • There's what it actually is and then there's what conservatives are freaking out about.

    What it actually is, is critical theory applied to issues of racial justice rather than Marxism. I.e. the study of how to change society to fix issues of race through a humanities discipline lense.

    What conservatives are freaking out about is mostly the implementation of critical race theory which can be anything from Robin DeAngelo level stuff to just teaching that America was once in fact bad.


  • The real reason their isn't affordable housing is because developers clients are large landlords/real estate investors not people who want a new condo.

    If you could get a group of 200 households together to build a new building you can easily do it at a price of 200-300k per unit for something pretty damn nice even in a major city.





  • This is insanity, but given the broadly pro LGBT orientation of this website supporting Castillo should be seen in a comparable nature to how someone might have supported Biden to stop Trump.

    The guy also spoke a bunch about how Venezuelan immigrants are all criminals and how Maduro needed to do something about it.


  • Something like 98 percent of new cases are people who haven't received a single dose of the vaccine, and virtually all serious illness being those who are unvaccinated.

    At least where I live everyone has had ample time to get a vaccine, there are pop-up clinics on like every block, to not be vaccinated at this point is purely an individual choice.








  • He got those connections by being a staffer in John Louis's office, if you're a staffer in any comparable house office you can make those same fundraising connections.

    It's just the reality is most staffers like that have no interest in actually running for office, and progressives don't have the same ability to fundraise that establishment insiders do.


  • Because he ran when no one else with more serious credentials was willing to. Their primary was before the pandemic at a time when literally no one thought dems would win anything in GA, it's why the special election primary was so much more competitive too. If you wanted to be the dem senate nominee for a state like say idaho or alabama, it wouldn't be exceptionally difficult to get that nomination all things considered should you have worked in a congressional office as a staffer like Ossoff did.

    Essentially he got this seat for the same reason Biden got his senate seat at the age of 29, pure insane luck.

    More trans friendly probably because there was a clear political project that the sub was mostly focused on back then and isn't the case right now. Trans issues weren't discussed as much, but when they were the conversations were driven by people who supported trans comrades.

    The infighting here is no different than the increase in infighting seen on Twitter since the end of the Bernie campaign and election of Biden.
