What will it take to supplant them and take control of the party or delegitimize them as a viable 2nd party in the awful two party system and replace the party with something progressive that represents workers other than more of the same?

To me it feels exactly like the country I grew up in. These fuckheads have been working their way toward this for a long time. Every presidential race I have ever voted in was a vote to save democracy. A vote against a worse candidate. They have just kept pushing and pushing until they could get enough people that were jaded with the current system of bureaucracy, red tape, and status quo to justify getting onboard with their hate in order to create real change. The problem is that due to decades of discouraging and dismantling education, as well as encouraging ultra-consumerist greed and self-centered narcissism, this is not the kind of change that will benefit anyone except the oligarchy. The mass of idiots are just too deluded to realize it. Even if they do, the very American attitude of never admitting you are wrong leads to them doubling down in service to Dear Leader.

Me too

Tariffs will drive the prices upward but consumers will still be compelled to make those purchases for a time, which is to say that they will just bite the cost because the alternative is less desirable. This demonstrates a lack of equilibrium between price and demand. In a non-elastic scenario, the rise in price would directly correlate to a decrease in demand.

Best comment ever.

Fair

Seriously just stop giving this person a hard time. They voted for what is right, at least. Whether they identify outside of that party, who cares? It's not going to change (and in any case worked in your favor toward) the election outcome, which is what you are actually upset about.

Don't worry about what Italians think about how you eat pizza. Unless you are in Italy, however you are eating it is probably unappealing to most Italians no matter what you are putting on it, even in its base form with no modifications.

This is a very ambiguous headline that is easily misunderstood.

The company is called Nothing. They are requiring employees to return to the office.

It was Subway that was recently purchased by the investment firm that owns Jimmy Johns. Jersey Mike's didn't sell.

I agree with you. To me, Violator was the last album of the 2nd generation of their sound, the first being a lot more New Wave. Although, I do think the shift from New Wave to the more techno industrial 2nd era was more gradual.
