  • Of course he is. Take some of your most popular, and arguably most effective, policies and just stop doing them.

    Oh wait, those help normal Americans. That's right, we don't do that here.

  • This. The Dems are doing literally anything they can to avoid blaming their messaging.

  • Support for Russia's genocidal invasion of Ukraine in no way supports anti-US hegemony stances. They're literally stealing children and indoctrinating them-the same thing the US did while committing genocide against the First Peoples.

    Just opposing the US doesn't make Russia the good guys.

  • I disagree. I don't think accelerationism is the answer. But given how fucked everything is, I also don't have a better one...

  • I think there were two different investigations. I suspect the ethics committee one has fewer hurdles to overcome in order to make it public. (Don't quote me on that—I may be mistaken)

  • As I said in another comment, Tankies are often in support of the modern Russian state and the modern CCP. These are not positions that are "left of the DNC".

  • That's not entirely accurate. I'm sure some use it that way, but it's not "left of the DNC" to support the modern Russian state and its actions, which is the problem most people have with Tankies.

  • I don't have all the details, but I feel like the union would have a direct interest in that decision. Not consulting them seems like 1) a dumb fuckin move and 2) a good reason for the union to take action.

  • No reason to be ableist about. You can just say they're stupid.

  • "Joe Biden's the reason"

    Maybe Harris shouldn't have adopted his platform then.

  • He was already a university professor and fought in WWI, tho...

  • I mean, listen, I put my sweatshop pants on one leg at a time like everyone else, and I still manage to pay attention. I don't always have the deepest understanding of stuff, but how deep do you have to dig before you understand "I'll be a dictator on day one" is not ok?

  • I just don't understand how these people move through the world. Yes, it's exhausting to be plugged in, and it's totally possible to consume too much "news", but how do people just not think about the wider world? I mean, I've got a job and a family, and I somehow manage to also be concerned about current events and global affairs.

    I dunno. Maybe I'm the problem. Maybe I am crazy.🤷

  • They retconned that, too. But even in the EU the clones were relegated to training roles and quickly died off
