NYT? is that the same NYT that was telling Democrats for decades that the only reason they aren’t winning is because they aren’t Republican enough?
OK, gift article, you have my attention…
…nah, it’s just more of the same
edit: I was listening to a Cory Doctorow interview yesterday and he had some very interesting things to say and I was reminded of this article again. Talk was long, interesting and meandering, but this was one of the things that reminded me
you need to stop using phrases like that, it’s going to be turned around on you like defund the police
Nah it’s a pretty clean message, we are going to consume all of their resources, and put up walls so high they can never accumulate that much again. Like God crumbling the tower of Babel.
Also, whoever shot and murdered a healthcare CEO in cold blood last year got more praise from the general public than basically anything the Democratic party has done in the last ten years, so yeah, that comment seems pretty out of touch with public sentiment
Bipartisan support too 🤣🫡
Oligarchy destroyed the social contract and forced nihilism amongst the youth. It’s why the entire world is tilting authoritarian. Democrats need to pivot hard into proper wealth taxation otherwise things will only devolve further. It’s a moral imperative at this point.
Americans need to learn to differentiate between the vehicle and the driver. The democratic party will not affect change until the vast majority of it’s sitting members are primaried.
No need to fix an election when the rich own all the horses in the race.
It would be nice if people under 50 showed up to the primary. Most incumbent wins are just old people using name recognition to “not rock the boat”.
Sorry, everybody under 50 has to work at the capitalism on Tuesdays.
We’re technically ‘allowed to leave’, but will fall behind on rent immediately. All three sick days have been used up.
Yea we keep making random national holidays on every day but voting day. Its crazy how we can just add a banking holiday when ever, but chose not to do November 5th
Louder for DC ig.
Maybe we just write the bills and invent semi convincing press releases for them now as ratification.
Turning it over a few ways… How would that be for a all in general strike day? pro and con. Mostly pro?
I mean the big problem is always actually The Bills, The Job, The Kids/Dependants, getting there. (and i.d. if you can’t afford to rent an address).
(edit, add last paragraph)
A general strike would be nice if it went with a political gathering. Striking the current system while trying to rebuild or reclaim what’s worth keeping. A general strike without a cohesive demand and plan for the future is going to be wasted.
general strike/bbq holiday until it becomes national?
The more I live to think on it, the more I think tailgating(sport potluck in farm machinery) may be the missing piece of the modern american strike in mainstream thought.
relatable mobile potluck.
It’s absolutely there on the ground in left protest culture. I mean, any protest big enough or long enough eventually has real anarchists doing their classic number of show up to feed everyone, with alergy and creed options, usually.
Personally I can stand some YeeHaw if everybody gets equity.
Democrats are the crisis that they manufactured
IMO people need to rally behind new progressive candidates and primary more than 50% of the sitting party in 2026. About 75% of the party are incompetent at best and complicit at worst.
People need to look past the individual members of the progressive caucus like AOC and realize the monumental organization it took to get her elected.
Republicans fix elections. Democrats fix primaries.
Progressives need messaging and a concise platform. ‘Fix housing, healthcare, inflation, immigration, monopolies, LGBT rights, income inequality, unemployment, gerrymandering, climate, education…’ Everyone who’s even capable of listening past 4 objectives knows they’re not all going to happen and assumes that means they’re all bullshit.
I’ve really been liking “Tax wealth not work” but I’ll take anything stronger than “return to normalcy.”
I’ll take anything stronger than “return to normalcy.”
You mean the normalcy that allowed Trump1.0 to happen in the first place, and allowed Trump2.0 to grab and pervert as much power as he has now? I fully agree, there is a larger lesson to be learned from all this than “phew, thankfully the Democrats won this time, and Trump can’t run again”. There are systemic problems behind all this.
🔫 always has been
-
NYT “Eat the Rich Populism”: Angrily posting memes at a few select right-wing billionaires and a bunch of foreigners, particularly in China
-
Actual “Eat the Rich Populism”: Nationalizing critical infrastructure that’s being horded by the billionaire class in the aggregate
Nationalizing? I hope you mean socializing
He means, we’re going to take back all the shit we paid for. All that socialize the cost privatize the profits infrastructure & R&D are ours now. Nationalize everything, trump already created precedent with the intel deal. They took our money we take their company. Glory to USSofA
Start with Space X and Starlink. We paid for all of that. Musk got rich by skimming billions from government contracts. Take all that money back, too.
He can keep Tesla, it will be bankrupt in 2 years anyway.
That’s what I’ve been saying for years lol
