I think we overemphasize education and should talk more about people's ability to act and think independently.

There was also Carter using Taft-Hartley to shut down the coal strike.

What will the Democratic leadership learn from Mamdani's win?

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 24 points 1 month ago (24 children)

It's not that the public forgot, but that leadership failed to offer an alternative other than "not Trump". When the Democrats do offer an alternative like Mamdani, people show up. And 80% of those that showed up voted for him, not against the other candidate. Not even Obama accomplished that.

Hmm, seems you're right and I need to find how better to handle triggers. Thanks for responding in a level headed manner.

Don't worry. When they see a Muslim running for office they suddenly remember.

Doesn't even need to do that. Congress set aside 5 billion to cover snap just for this scenario. The money is already authorized and the checks are ready to be signed.

Nah, what I just said was realism. Do you even know your own intent when you tell someone to enjoy their dictatorship? Please share, I want to know.

California should ban drinking bleach.

Take that nihilism elsewhere. They're tired because they're not succumbing to either fascism or nihilism.

The tired feeling is how you know you're strong. You haven't given up despite all the crap you have to deal with. And don't feel guilty to take a rest, rest is resistance when living under late-stage capitalism.
