Because their only real interest is funneling wealth upwards. Very few Republicans in power genuinely give a damn about any cultural war topics. No Fox News gasbag is choosing to live in Alabama lol. But the only way they can build a viable electoral base that supports stealing from the working class is by inventing and/or exacerbating working class divisions.

"Oh no, you're not unemployed because your boss outsourced your job, it's because, uh, that gay brown migrant took it!"

I didn't think you understand anything correctly tbh.

I wish DSA was important enough to swing more than a handful of local elections lol. She won her primary (against a fellow Democrat, by definition) with 80% of the vote. I say this with love, I don't think you have any clue what you're talking about? Even in the context of the general election, NY-14 is like +40 D. She's still going to win. Thank you, I guess, for accurately pointing out DSA's calculus in strategically endorsing and not endorsing candidates so as to not sink popular candidates while also building coalitions with Palestinian organizations?

What fascist legislator is DSA endorsing?

The vanishingly small amount of people that will be unfathomably rich in a privatized post-scarcity economy will give us just enough in UBI to make sure we can buy our Mountain Dew verification cans. And without the ability to withhold our labor as a class, we'll have no peaceful avenue to improve our conditions.

In Virginia, at least, it's not a meaningful distinction.

There used to be an exception for GPS, but the state changed the law a few years ago so that any non-hands-free use of a phone in a non-parked is a ticketable offense. Swiping away an ad at a red light would technically be illegal.

Ignoring the decades of illegal occupation, Israel continues to hold ten times the number of hostages that Hamas has ever held. No one is buying your hasbara anymore.

Biden is going to further jeopardize his reelection chances just so arms manufacturers can profit more off genocide.

Say what you want about the capitalist class, but they certainly have class solidarity.

It's not like Fox News is ever going to have a segment calling for empathy with minority urban voters, or 538 running an article on Republicans failing to address issues that minority urban voters have.

We need a maximum age limit for politicians and voters. People that aren't sticking around for dinner don't get to pick the groceries.

Since no one apparently read the article, it's the Democrats doing this.

The Debt Collective named Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) as particularly responsible for the language.

Arming bureaucrats and giving them legal immunity was maybe society's largest mistake.
