Sure, and I'm glad that makes you feel better, but when both options are don't do the thing its doesn't really matter that one is worse does it? Both are unacceptable, and a real solution needs to be created.

How the fuck are $1000 tickets afforable? Am I missing something?

That is social media. Try downloading a news app instead. I'm considering the same

I tried copying and pasting it in google to see if it could read it still and this is what the ai came up with lmao

But I'm supossed to expect his reaction to being shot was to take a photo op. This pussy. Sure.

Thats where you stop considering apparently, instead of accepting the grim reality that voting isn't going to save us as neither party wants to and that we need to do the actual, hard work of forming a new party and demanding more.

Unironically, thats how I feel explaining things when I get excited, and I kinda like being a kid excited about sharing something. Because either I get to share something I find really cool and you hopefully do too, or you already knew about it and maybe know more than me and I can learn something more about the thing I'm excited about. But mansplaining does imply a level of condescension that I really fucking hope I don't come across as.

We have a right wing and a centralist party, we need a left workers party, not 2 more centralists between the center and the right. That'll just be 2 more right wing parties

I took it more as "these people who benefitted by all the destruction and war the US committed in their names are finally feeling the sting and might actually be driven to do something about it".

I'm not agreeing with it, but to translate its more along the lines of "You Americans have spent so long being comfortable and benefitting from the imperialist project of the US and all the death and destruction it perpetrates across the world and have not offered any resistance to their own government in all this time. Liberals have been content to be complaicent in it too as long as a woman gets to drop some of those bombs, for fairness. Now you won't be able to avoid the consequences of the evil imperialist core that all these other countries have been crushed under for over a century and may actually be driven to do something about it, since it actually affects you now."

Which again I don't agree with, but can also aknowledge that its more nuanced than just wishing harm for harm's sake.

Exactly. Remember this when people claim we can turn the Democratic party with progessive candidates. The progressive candidates are the ones always turned by the Dems, not the other way around. It's their MO.

I was literally about to link that and I saw you already did

Whoch i do cause I don't want to give more data, and it kept being wrong. I'd rather have the occaisonal wrong ketter.

Grades as a judgement metric is outdated as fuck and no one wants to admit it. The goal should be to learn, not be judged. If you get something wrong, you should be able to correct it until you understand it. Passing a class should be connected to learning the material, not memorizing for a few tests coreectly.

Your rights are political. I get the point of the post, that people shouldn't need to validate their existence, but politics is how you fight for that right. The desire to avoid politics is the advantage of your enemy.

They're all gross evil pedophiles. The hard truth is this list if realeased wouldn't fix anything on its own, even if we executed every one on that list. Its the system that creates these gross people and holds them in power. Without dismantaling Capitalism, there will be another Epstien, and another, and another. We've got a knife in our backs and we just keep changing the bandaids on it, without taking out the knife.

As fucked as it is to say, these files are a distraction because they imply that if we just deal with those than things will be fixed. These monsters need to be held accounatable, absolutely, and that will only happen with mass action and an overthowing of the two-party prison we're all in. The files are absolutley evidence of this hypocracy, but they are a symptom, and efforts need to be put at overcoming the full disease.
