  • I really hate to tell you this but 80% of the country thinks the dems are either communists or the ultimate arbiter of good.

    There is very little actual criticism of the dem party from the left under current political framework.

    Universal Healthcare, workers rights, and a higher minimum wage are all incred8bly popular.

    Until somebody on fox or cnn says those policies are too far left and 4/5ths of the country nods in agreement.

  • I can not describe how much it's going to piss people off if the democrats claim to be for abundance after 4 years of telling people "actually the economy great, I don't give a fuck if everything in the grocery store has doubled in price in 12 months look at this graph you fucking dumbass"

    I mean seriously, "fight for $15" has floundered for so long it's not even viable anymore. I really can't wait to see the reaction when the people who have shived anybody who says "Medicare for all" start trying this utopianism bullshit.

    "Well make sure there's abundance"

    "I can't afford groceries and just got kicked of off snap and everybody who has ever said the word abundance supported that"

  • It's simply an astro-turfing tactic to make it appear that I'm the unreasonable one to outsiders viewing this.

    You literally refusing to even watch the video this post is about or read any of the info provided but still making dozens of comments insisting you're right and we're all propogandized is doing a way better job of that then any of us could hope to

  • You can't be fucking serious.

    So not only doyou refuse to even engage with anything that doesn't come from your pre approved list of sources when somebody takes rhe time to actually compile a bunch of sources and wrote up a summary for you that also isn't acceptable.

    It's almost like you are completely fucking brainwashed to immediatly reject literally any sort of information that doesn't match up with your personal opinion which just so happens to exactly match the opinion of the state department.

    Americans truly are the most willfully ignorant propogandized people in the world.

  • It's not a "source"

    It's a YouTube video. An opinion. You determine whether that opinion is trustworthy or not by watching the video and seeing if the conclussions he puts forward make sense to you.

    Or you can just ignore it and say it isn't true because it's not pre approved by the Cia.

  • It's terrifying how easy it is to manipulate a population that's so biscously anti intellectual.

    This is the dunning Kruger effect in real life. They're too stupid to understand science so they assume science doesn't make any sense.

    I'm sure they would consider it a waste to "measure bubbles in antarctic sea ice" because they don't understand that's what climate models are based on and vindicated by. And even if they did understand it theyd still be against it.

    It's tough because obviously as communists you have to try to maintain a belief everybody is deserving of basic dignity and respect but then you see somebody yell "don't you fucking tell me what to do" as they climb over the "do not enter, high voltage" sign of a substation.

    It's a lot harder to maintain the belief that any loss of life is a tragedy when you have a guy in a klan robe saying it's their constitutional right to to wrap their lips around the exhaust pipe of a diesel truck specifically modified to cause as many emissions as humanly possible.

  • Makes sense anecdotally.

    Lines up with the big groundswell of opposition I've seen from parents about their kids getting homework because "this homework is ridiculous I can't even answer the questions on my kids third grade homework. Who the hell cares what an adjective is."

    Also lines up with the rights understanding of what a pronoun is.

  • Because if you aren't the bad guys then they're just essentially the low level stooges of the evil mastermind just doing mundane evil shit for no discernable reason.

    Where as if you're the bad guy they're virtuous principled people just doing what's right (allowing them to have complete dominion over the moral high ground)

  • Stress

    Jump
  • It was probablly just a list of 20 humanities electives they had to pick 4 of for gen Ed requirements (not say9ng this is a bad thing maybe if there was more of this 1/4 of every engineering class wouldn't go straight to Lockheed martin)

    They're supposed to be less rigorous and a little more general than other courses, this is really grasping at straws for a reason to ignore the point being made.

  • People thinking their clever by making up words that already have a meaning.

    "Lawfare" meaning chargingnrich white assholes for the crime they committed

    "Disinformatsiya" or however libs spelled it to mean pointing out the hypocrisy of American nationalists.

    "Sanewashing" to describe media putting their thumb on the scale for the fascist who wants to cut their taxes.

    It implies it's a new phenomenon and not just the current version of whatever propoganda apparatus has been chugging along for decades.

    Liberals complain about "sanewashsing" and then in the same breath talk about how cheyney and bush weren't exactly the fucking same as Trump.

  • Maybe but I'm pretty skeptical. If he wins the popular vote he's going to win upward of 35 states. New York and California should be worth like 2 to 3x the EC votes they get. It's hard to overstate how much just those two states skew the popular vote for dems.

    The only republican to win the popular vote in my lifetime was Bush still coasting off of 9/11 jingoism.

    I will say that if he wins the popular vote that should be the end of the current form of the democratic party, if you can't convince the majority of people you're a better candidate than the guy who audibly shits himself on national television while slowly staying back and forth to 3 different version of Ave Maria I think it's time to admit you're cooked.

    But then again losing easily winnable elections to republicans has been the dems entire strategy for decades now.
