The US will do everything in its power to dismantle socialism and convince people that it "doesn't work" (just ignore how much work they put in to dismantle it)
TFW your country has been a 1/10 for labor for decades and then a president bumps it to a 2/10 and all the neolib outlets champion him as the most pro-union president in history... 🤮
The devastating fires in Maui, a tragedy long forewarned, are a stark reminder of the failure to prioritize human well-being over short-term cost considerations. My heart aches for the lives lost and the homes destroyed; this catastrophe underscores the systemic failure to heed warnings and underscores the urgent need for a compassionate, foresighted approach to our shared environment and community.
My experience has been the opposite. I've found that the majority of users tend to lean towards neoliberal and center-right ideologies. I guess most of them are probably American, so their warped worldview has them considering these ideologies as 'left-wing' instead 🙃
If I'm going to have a crook in office, I'd rather they be a crook that awakens people to the issues that matter such as medicare for all and ending the drug war. The bar is just that low
The democrats love the two party system. They don't care that each election cycle is a game of chicken with a literal fascist party, so long as they don't need to deliver on real economic reforms for the people in order to win reelection.
The enthusiasm to vote against rather than for a candidate reveals the deeper crisis of a political system that effectively marginalizes meaningful alternatives.
Labeling RBN and JD as hyper-partisan leftists is inaccurate. They are both anti-vax, RFK stans who most recently believe the fascist Donald Trump is preferable to Joe Biden. As much as I am against neoliberals, that take is not one of the "left"
The attempt by billionaire real estate moguls to overturn New York City's rent stabilization law is nothing but the ruling class wielding its power to exploit the many for the benefit of the few. This isn't just about rents in New York; it's a manifestation of the capitalist system where the rights of property owners are sacred, but the rights of those who need shelter are negotiable. It's a blatant class assault, a vivid example of how the rich and powerful manipulate the legal system, including the Supreme Court, to suppress the masses and perpetuate their own wealth and dominance.
There's only been a limited selection up until this point
The contradiction between Justice Alito's prior commitment to ethics laws and his current stance reveals a fundamental tension in our understanding of power and accountability. This incident serves as a reflection of a broader system where principles often succumb to the mechanisms of authority, exposing the frailty of ethical commitments in the face of institutionalized power.
I didn't see that in OPs comment. Would you mind explaining where you gathered that from?
