  • The majority of our populace reads at roughly a 5th grade level. Now add a coefficient of technology divide.

    Education is a long-haul strategy, and the right wingers have been destroying it for at least 40 years. There's no way to quickly turn that around.

  • 13 year olds are not adults, so why would the book be in an adult section anyway?

    Of course, all of this is an obvious smokescreen for right wingers lashing out at anything they deem as intolerable.

    There will never be a union between the educated and tolerant, and people who align themselves with right-wing authoritarian rhetoric.

  • "but look how much technology you've gotten to see as it evolved every 3 years."

    Tech can fuck off. All these technological advances have served some Capitalist at the expense of imploding the middle class, or distracting the masses with some shiny bauble while shareholders extort more flesh each quarter.

    If tech advances don't create a rising tide, they're just a tool for exploitation.

  • Take it over? From the people who control the entirety of every process and have a finger on every level?

    Your optimism is not matched by an understanding of how things actually work. The Democratic party is private; it's essentially a club. Which means that the party dictates which funding goes to whom, and which candidates are allowed to campaign for specific posts. It's the opposite of democracy.

    When AOC started making waves, Pelosi, that fucking corrupt dinosaur, pulled her aside and read her the riot act- quintessentially reminding any further progressives that the OLD GUARD neoliberals are in charge, as they have been for the last 30 years. Which is why the Dems have been floundering and failing, by design, for 30+ years.

    The only way forward for the party as it stands is to purge the entirety of elderly power-clutching corporate boot throaters. Otherwise they'll strangle any rising progressive stars before they can walk, let alone run.
