Remember when prices went down when self checkout became a thing everywhere?

I dont.

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

Infinity plus 1.

Just your average day in the conservative/fascist multiverse.

Why is this default lol

Reforms don't prevent end stage capitalism, they only delay it. It looks as though there isn't enough willpower for another delay.

Early 20th century labor movements should not have negotiated with the 1% financial terrorists. It's as though we made peace with Russia, only a small respite in the class war while the 1% grew stronger then ever before.

With a more representative electoral system like Ranked Choice, more people would have been driven to the polls. More people voting equals more democratic votes.

How we vote is controlled at the state level, so why haven't blue states passed electoral reform? Don't the democrats want more votes? Why would the democratic party say no to these extra votes?

Is keeping 3rd parties from joining the table worth sacrificing the nation to the Republican's nightmare?

You do realize democrats are conservatives right?

Protip: You're not supposed to run your copypasta through chat GPT more then twice.

Democracy is when you vote for my candidates.

Alternative electoral systems exist. You can't wish them away like the Republicans think they can. We will always be undemocratic with a First past the post voting system. It wouldn't even matter if the Republicans vanished into thin air. We need more then two parties to vote for, secure in the knowledge that our vote would still count if our preference didn't win.

and we can make it happen. We have the power.

I'm gonna live or die tryin'

Feeling free yet?

There are only so many places the unhoused can go without their shit getting fucked with

There is no nation state while living in a commune. Communist country is a oxymoron .

You can also block certain users who won't stop harping on one subject

Communism was always meant to be a world republic.

I don't see any other way for communism to exist. Any other remaining nation states would eventually try to expand into the stateless territory.

If under communism everything is shared, that would have to include political power.

So that would make communism a direct democracy. Which communist country was a direct democracy?
