I mean, we got halfway there a year ago...
People just want to ignore we saved the DNC, because billionaire owned talking heads on their TVs haven't said it.
Instead they want people to think it's hopeless to try and depress dem primary turnout in a last ditch effort for neoliberals to seize back control.
It's fucking weird to see so many people finally agree with what I've been saying for decades, but concerning so many picked it up so feverently almost the second it stopped being true.
I get what you're trying to say but I think it's totally reasonable for people to expect more proof that this is true than "the new DNC chair has said some nice things", especially considering the fact that Schumer and Jefferies are still out there doing the same old bullshit
I absolutely agree with that statement...
I'm just disappointed so many people are managing to stay ignorant of all the other stuff.
Like, even as much as I get tired of explaining the same thing, you didn't even ask, you just assumed nothing has materialized.
because billionaire owned talking heads on their TVs haven’t said it.
Like bro...
You're literally what I'm complaining about, especially because when given an opportunity to ask, you just go back to that "billionaires ain't told me nothin" well again...
Just why?
Why are people so happy not knowing shit? Seriously, in general why do you care so little to not even ask and just repeated propaganda again? This is bigger than just you, I want to understand why others do what you're doing.
There's still time to help some of you before it's too late for all of us.
lol OK. Share some examples if that's what you want to do. I'm not sure why it's my job to prod you to say what you want to say.
Welp, if you're not gonna tell me the only thing I can learn from you in exchange, kinda doesn't seem worth it
I usually don't downvote people to encourage discussion but this was so thoroughly pointless that you've earned them
