Enlightened Despotist in Name Only

No wonder you aren’t in favor of the general strike. We’ll chalk this failure of understanding up to your childlike innocence.

I’m calling for a general strike to force Radiohead to release another album as good as Hail to the Thief.

She can literally demand a general strike right now. (It won’t happen, but that doesn’t seem to matter.) every second she’s spending running for office is another second she could have called for the federal strike that would stop Trump from hurting people.

Was just putting this into a thread of related gripes.

Kat does a lot of good things but she’s just got to cut out the horseshit like “general strike”. You don’t need to be a politician or an elected anything to call for a general strike. If you think that will actually do anything to solve society’s problems, you could do it right now.

World class poasting here.

Murder charges for whoever did this.

I am not engaging in a conspiracy theory. I agree we should build more housing. I am saying it is silly to focus on “private equity” as if that’s the main issue.

Does he still have the post up congratulating ICE and MAGA for Schumer’s cave (which, to date, has not resulted in resumption of funding for DHS)?

He has to have that precious “engagement” with users, Sharon. Better that it be 5 rapist Winnie the Poohs than 2 moderate democrats who disagree with him about Bernie Sanders.

Let’s play this game in reverse: you’re of the opinion that 6M people sat out an election bc Harris accepted the endorsements of the Cheneys?

I thought probably the most accurate tool we have to assess support for politicians was polls. Terribly sorry not to have understood that it was the more objectively measurable quantity “excited ground building”.

Yes, “voters were furious over inflation and blamed the incumbent party”, and “incumbent parties everywhere on earth got crushed post-Covid” are purely excuses, not observable facts, great point big farts.

Yes, she did relatively BETTER in PA. Don’t let that ruin your narrative though!

“Non sequitor in quotation marks”

I see you didn’t read the article, which has his job approval at 56/29. *You* may not love him (and candidly I don’t love him, but he’s OK and obviously infinitely better than a republican), but Pennsylvanians overall approve of his work as governor enormously.

Incumbent parties lost all over the entire globe. I guess they all just sucked shit equally.

Which had very little to do w her campaign and was mostly voters mad at Biden over Covid, Afghanistan, and inflation.

Welp there’s one example, I guess that’s all the evidence anyone needs, case closed.

And FYI I voted for Bernie in both of those primaries.

Bob Casey didn’t do that. Also how did the 2016 and 2020 primaries go for Bernie here?

Men will literally create user names like big farts 420 and pretend not to understand the most obvious, banal political observations, replacing them with “dems only ever lose elections bc they run horrific candidates” theories, rather than go to therapy.

People wanted Biden to threaten to have the feds prosecute her over EpiPen price fixing, I believe.

True story, I was golfing last fall and playing great and on track to break 80 for the first time, just needed a par on 18, but private equity threw my perfect drive into the water and I couldn’t recover.

“He’s much stronger on posting videos comparing black people to animals than the average politician, and he played to that strength last night when he said that everyone from Somalia is a pirate.”

Was that issue “racism”?

To be clear, I think Warren is great.

Yeah I know she knows it but I just feel like this gets people to focus on the wrong things. They will not see the forest for the trees.

Drive the price down within the capitalist system, as you guys are saying, by increasing supply, and drive up the purchasing power of the working class by expanding social welfare programs. Don’t say “this kind of rich jerk can own an apartment building, but not *that* kind of rich jerk”.
