Yes, in 1973.

It's good to have people you know you can go check every now and then for relevant news - like if I hear about something then I go read her blog. But following it is exhausting. I don't need minute by minute updates on every minor thing.

A startup that wants to actually survive a capitalist system cannot pay you equal to the value of your labor. It fundamentally is contradictory to creating a profit from someone else's labor.

Social democrats call themselves a middle between socialism and liberal capitalism.

Liberal capitalists call themselves the center between socialism and fascism (insert aristocratic mercantilism for 19th/early 20th century)

The list goes on, you get my point.

Friendly reminder that "centrist" or "middle position" is not a real political opinion or ideology that exists. Every political party frames themselves as the "reasonable center" - bar Communism/Socialism.

Mussolini in the 20's described fascism as a middle between liberal capitalism and socialism

"For the past four years"

dude does not know what leftist means lol.

Shady/ crappy things also known as killing 11 million+ people, toppling dozens of sovereign governments and influencing hundreds of elections in the name of US capital from the Cold War up to present

Being trans has nothing to do with "ideology."

The flag is right, the union goes to the left when the flag is vertical.

Olympic gold medalists in moving the goal post.

There's nothing more obnoxious and insufferable than a man who "just wants to have a conversation" on something they decided they're right and everyone else is wrong on before their yapping even started.

Yea, He (rightfully) got flack for it in the 50's. He married his 13 year old cousin.

Considering how awful ChatGPT is at doing even the most menial tasks I've asked of it, I can't imagine anyone who gains from using it both has a difficult job and is good at that job.

Also, war is won by death and destruction. Insisting the IDF retains defensive weapon systems isn't a benevolent 'no more innocents die' stance. It's ensuring Palestinians and neighboring states cannot retaliate meaningfully. It's ensuring only the IDF can sustain prolonged war.

Defunding the iron dome would limit the IDF's offensive capabilities by requiring more assets to be changed to defensive missions, and it would allow retaliating combatants the ability to fire more accurate and predictable weapon systems. It decreases death overall, not increases.

It also further limits the ability for retaliating combatants to inflict sufficient damage to Israeli military targets. Which causes retaliatory attacks to be less organized and more indirect to increase the chance of failure in the iron domes guidance system, i.e saturation attacks.

The iron dome is a defensive weapon system, yes. But it provides a layer of air defense that increases Israeli offensive capabilities. I.e they don't need as many aircraft for defensive purposes. Continued funding of the iron dome is a direct contribution to the IDF's offensive combat capabilities.

Stop getting upset at people who have principles and stick to them, and get upset at the candidates your party puts forward that refuse anything other than dying on hills no one wants to vote for. Voting for a republican in blue doesn't help anyone, it just delays the inevitable.

brother you have zero intentions of looking at this other than "I'm right you're wrong", grow a backbone and refuse to elect a democratic candidate unless they actually change course. There's nothing else to be said. "Vote for the lesser (in your opinion) evil" isn't how democracies work.

Terrifying prospect, but another country, a NATO ally nonetheless, setting a precedent that potential persecution is happening in America is at the very least a silver lining.

No other functioning democracy on this planet, hell even other two party systems, do this silly "vOtE fOr tHe lEsSeR eViL." The point of a political party is to vote for the party that most represents your views, and Americans have shown they're sick of voting for Republicans in blue. Change policy.

If Democrats aren't going to push for a pro trans and leftist agenda, then it makes zero difference for those voters on who's in power. Again, all these candidates could be was "we're not him", which isn't a stance or policy.

This might be extremely hard for you but people not voting for either candidate was not a vote for trump lol.

Again, if you want votes, your political party needs to represent the needs of the votes you want. The Democrats aren't leftists, and they throw trans people under the bus.

You people never learn lol. Don't expect votes from people you aren't representing. That's not how political parties work. Either change the policy and push for the stances of the people you want votes from or keep losing elections. "We're not them" isn't a platform that gets votes and never will be

Americans are so clueless to how democracy works lol. You vote for a party that aligns with what you believe. If the only thing your party has is "we're not them", then your political party stands for absolutely nothing and shouldn't expect votes.

Actually change policy and you'll get votes.

There is a fair acknowledgeable difference between a group of people acting as a collective to go be first time gun owners, and telling one individual who has no intention to practice and or find a like-minded group to go buy a gun.

Having a gun for the sake of having one is unnecessary.

The only good take he had was calling landlords parasites. But that was a "worst person you know just made an amazing point" comment.

Otherwise a racist and genocidal imperialist that sought only to preserve Britain's empire.

I'm glad you're still here and can share messages I relate to often. As small as it is, and as little as I interact on social media, seeing and hearing someone say things I wish I could scream to an audience far larger than I could handle the attention of brightens my days.

I have a similar scar for the same reason. It's a painful one to constantly be reminded of since I can't just hide it, it's on my neck.

Trans people are entitled to autonomy, entitled equal treatment, we're entitled to a life we *want* to live.

How pointless of a role the vice presidency must be that the incumbent has time to go argue and troll on social media.

Dude ran out of couches to fuck in the white house I guess.
