The fascist playbook has always been “meet me in the middle” and then take two steps back. Rinse, repeat. Fuck bipartisanship and fuck the corpo Dems.

And instead he was shot at, not for the race stuff, but when he started talking about the class divide in general.

The brainworms have definitely hatched though

I really wish the DNC would get a blowhard demagogue cult of personality lying piece of shit like Trump to be their figurehead and then just actually do good shit once in office. Like read the fucking room man, you’re playing to sound policy when the people are voting for bloviating dickheads. Just be one of those and then worry about doing the right thing. Quoth Trae Crowder a few years back: “Do you want to be right, or do you want to win?”

The problem with status quo defense is that the status quo gets progressively (couldn’t help myself) worse the more time goes on.

This is temporarily embarrassed millionaire rhetoric. This is the reason the DNC gets away with platforming milquetoast horseshit in the first place.

You’re conflating the DNC with actual leftism.

The supposed strong economy is based on the average, which is brought up by the ultra-wealthy and their dragon hoards. The median is still getting shit on. There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Spoiler alert: They will remain beholden to big money interests and continue to lose. God damn it.

I’m not saying I think they should make the fares the same for people who book last-minute, just that they should exempt people who have to rebook through no fault of their own from that. Like “lock in” the rate at the initial booking.

Shitty strawman but I guess we can’t expect much from the schools out there

So less spoiler effect for Stein? Sounds pretty win-win to me.

Ok now do millionaires

The “turn the water off while you’re brushing your teeth” crap on TV was a corpo psyop. Individual responsibility is a myth concocted and propagated by the very people who have actually been causing the vast majority of the damage.

I thought they were already getting caught?

You know what image that kind of language invokes. It’s also not germane to the issue either way, because I’m not talking about politically persecuting people, I’m talking about judicial expediency dealing with people who are committing actual crimes and using their political views as justification for it.

Writing in kArEnCaSe is more Karen-y if it’s more annoying to read.

They charge at current rate, why don’t they refund at it?

That’s Bhad Bhabie and I’m ashamed of myself for knowing that

I’ve worked call centers and I assure you no one gives a fuck about a bad reaction as soon as it’s over. I’d imagine it’s a similar dynamic for phonebankers.
