That Clinton fundraising didn't save the DNC, it destroyed its soul.

Do you think those millions of dollars of corporate cash came without strings? Of course not. After accepting this money, the DNC was all-in on support for the military industrial complex, wall street, health insurers, etc.

This had horrible effects on DNC policy in the following years- supporting the forever wars, abandoning the public option, bailing out wall street while abandoning working people... So many horrible things were set in motion by this Clinton corruption.

Before the Clinton sellout we had one corporate party and one moderate party. After the sellout we only have 2 corporate parties to choose from.

"We tried running two center-right warmongering women and it failed, so the only conclusion is that women are unelectable!"

This is just blatant misogyny. They didn't lose because of their vaginas, they lost because of their policies.

That traitoress Fetterwoman received 49% of the primary vote, with AIPAC spending $30-$35 million on her.

We are so lucky to have El Sayed instead of her.

But don't fool yourself into thinking this battle is won. Today we are electing multiple Fettermen and Fetterwomen from "centrist" and "swing" states. I hope they all win, they are the lesser of two evils, but they are still evil.

A large section of the ongoing French protests is motivated by the steep increase in fuel costs.

The Iran war didn't cause the teacher shortage, but it is one of the many reasons for this protest.

The void is not frightening, it's comfy and warm. I go there every night.

Death is not frightening, it is only a moment.

What is truly terrifying, Cool bug, is eternity.

I think it's because No Kings has little to offer young people.

Young people want economic mobility, quality public education, and a sane foreign policy including ending the genocide. No Kings protests tend to shy away from these subjects.

In fact, the No Kings protest is somewhat unique in that it does not have any specific demands at all. It has a focus on defending democracy and criticism of Trump, which are valid, but the main thrust is that older liberals want to go back to the pre-Trump era.

The pre-Trump era was great for these older liberals- it was their golden era- but younger generations do not look back so fondly. Millennials remember this era as a time of economic hardship; Gen Z are too young to remember the positivity of the late 90s/early 2000s.

The youthful political energy is with the DSA at the current moment. "No Kings" and DSA agree on many things, but there is also deep disagreement on many serious issues.

Why would God create a system to "figure out who ought to be rewarded" when he already knows that information? He's omniscient, he knew that information since the beginning of time, no system required.

If he needs to create this system, he is not omniscient.

If he chooses to create this system anyway, including creation of childhood cancer and starving puppies, then he is evil.

I think this is not about enjoying comic book movies, instead it is about idolizing anti-heroes. If this comic showed a third poster I would expect to see Walter White, not Spiderman.

People who look up to anti-heroes tend to rank low in morality, empathy, and trustworthiness. It's a red flag.

No.

I think the Trump regime probably took his picture down for racist reasons.

I also think moral people should take a strong principled stance against military aggression, instead of a reactionary anti-Trump position.

Killing innocent people in Korea and Vietnam is nothing to be proud of.

It's not just a single story, I think this is relatively common.

I worked as a server for 5 years and I received at least 2 of these fake bills as a tip.

I'm guessing this behavior is somewhat regional; my experience was in the deeply religious midwestern usa.

Finding the corporal husk of Lich McConnel is meaningless.

To end his unliving existence, you must find and destroy his phylactery.

Legend says it is stored in the deepest catacombs of the US Senate, protected by a magic barrier of a million eternally wailing working class souls.
