Tbf, the Democrats had until June 24th to change their candidate, in theory it’s already over. But we all know how these things are… Mamdani was lucky that polls actually seriously underestimated his support, with reports of many “shy Mamdani voters” skewing results.
I think it’s more likely they’re just going to go all in on supporting Adam’s independent run as the “enlightened centrist”.
It’s clear Israel is deadset on the war. Iran might as well get on with it.
During the beginning of the COVID pandemic the USDA calculated what it would cost to give every American citizen with food insecurity a full nutritious diet, it came out to $190 billion a year if utilizing the current SNAP infrastructure or $100 billion if organized and distributed via US National Guard at the state level.
China before communism
So the poorest independent nation on earth at the time?
The People’s Republic of China has deliberately made a decision after its failed invasion of Vietnam in 1979 that they are willing to help broker peace but will no longer intervene in any nations’ business. Sure, we’d like them to be more actively on the good side but China just doesn’t get involved.
You’re not allowed to vote any political system away in any nation, liberal allows you to choose between conservative liberalism or progressive liberalism, but you can’t vote liberalism away, you’re simply not allowed.
PewDiePie (especially at the beginning) started the trend of screaming a lot in his videos, and then kids channels did it to get more engagement and now it’s just become a staple on all of YouTube, look at all content creators and they’re basically always shouting at the top of their lungs.
Several YouTubers like HuskyStarcraft and Jacksepticeye hurt their vocal cords and had to moderate their speaking and lost a ton of viewers, with the former straight up deleting his channel because people seem to not want to watch them without the screaming.
The US sure as hell doesn’t act like a country confident in its ability to lead. The truth is the Founding Genocidal Slaveowners couldn’t have stolen a better piece of land, the US has to look for problems because to the north and south they’re either bordered by peaceful neighbors or fish.
China is not even the USSR (although I wish they were), they’d leave the US alone if Uncle Sam would just stop trying to goad them into senseless fighting.
I’ve heard the theory that Trump 45 was mostly Ivanka and Jared Kushner while Mitch McConnell playing as the attempted puppet master (and in many cases succeeding). But now (for various reasons) they’re out of the picture, I think Trump 47, literally has no true plan nor ideology, he just wants to do whatever allows him to score victories.
He’s a “conservative” only by virtue of being both a billionaire and a sexist bigot, but he isn’t ideologically invested. He just wants to feed his legendary ego, that’s it.
That’s the ironic part, ByteDance was developing a clone of Vine as they saw that was the future, they had developed a killer algorithm and bought another Vine clone Music.ly for cheap to rebrand as Douyin (or TikTok internationally).
Mind you, Vine made money, it’s just that Twitter refused to pay content creators, they saw people posted for free on Twitter and were looking for ways to convince people to make profit without paying. On numerous instances, groups of creators demanded to be compensated on Vine and even Periscope, or they’ll leave and Twitter told them to go fuck themselves.
Reminds me of how they shut down the incredibly successful Vine (short form video) because they figured they’d make more money with Periscope (very long form video). Despite literally nobody wanting it.
These tech bros live in a deluded bubble with no understanding on what average people want.
You’re subject to the conditions of the world/country/city etc that you live in. Don’t believe capitalist propaganda, communism isn’t a vow of poverty. In the US the conditions still aren’t at the level (but things are rapidly moving) of the usefulness of a Vanguard Party but the Empire is punch drunk with multiple major wars lost, a declining economy, and a government increasingly desperate to keep things together through force.
For now, educate yourself and link up with entities that seek relief for what is possible in this poisoned nation.
