Yeah there's a segment of arrogant racist halfwit conservatives that get a superiority kick out of demeaning people for stuff like that.

Seriously FUCK these guys who think everything should be run like a business

Yep if there was any justice in the world this would have put Wells Fargo deep in the ground but fucking no

We gotta put all our energy into what they’re doing. They’re the rare few on the left that really understand what is going on and how to start fighting it.

This is in my library but I haven’t played yet! Going to have to bump it up the list

Yeah this is the real problem - the Dems care WAY too much about seniority and 'whose turn it is'. They care more about that than electability or messaging or, god forbid, formulating a platform that actually speaks to the average American that would inform all of the above.

On voting day I'm going to hold my nose and vote for anyone that isn't a fascist criminal. But I promised my leftist friends that the rest of the time I'm going to do what I can to push the Democratic party to actually represent us, and that's what I intend to do.

It was a really cowardly play by Schumer. I understand his concerns but you gotta lead when you're the leader and that means playing hardball sometimes. He let his fears get the best of him and when we needed him to show us he was willing to do something for us - and when he actually could do something - he blinked.

FTFY 'We won't be dragged into this' — famously pro-Russia Hungary opposes $22 billion EU aid package for Ukraine

We all know they won't be dragged in and can't be dragged in because they're already fully involved, just on the wrong side

Just praying for that inevitable and just poetic twist

 

Bernie is 100% right now, we can't count on the Dems in DC. The working class is going to have to fight this one.

It'll require a lengthy grassroots effort from the working class any its allies. At the moment, anything you can think to do is the right thing to do until a proper movement coalesces. Get out and try things. And bring your friends along for the effort. That's how movements like this get going.
