The thing that keeps me awake at night is that the left still has no clear leadership, no clear plan, and it basically acts like a bunch of warring factions, online spaces are toxic AF. And god forbid you say "hey actually the infighting and trolling is a problem". You can't win a war this way.
Democratic leaders show more passion trying to defeat progressive candidates then they do defeating republicans. That is what big money in politics does.
What is with the people who claim to be left wing shitting on protests? What do you want people to do? Why are people so fucking toxic and cynical and tribal and why do we think this is the thing to do rather than a strike or protesting or campaigning or voting or literally anything else?
The left on left hate got so idiotic today that some dipshit partisan Democrats complained about Portland because we have a lot of progressives. Harris won the election here, what the fuck do you even want from us? We have had massive, massive protests here. Activism is high here.
Some idiot troll Democrats harassed me today because I am a progressive and acted like I was stealing from them for wanting to register so I can vote in the primary. Sorry, what do you want me to do? Should we create our own 3rd party and split the vote? Would you rather we do that?
CPI inflation hit 4.2% and wholesale inflation hit 6.5% in May — the highest levels in three years. Do not forget this is the result of the reckless and deadly decision-making of one man: Donald Trump. We are paying the price for his warmongering.
The left really treats the left like shit and then we wonder why we can't get anything done. I'm not talking about race issues, I'm talking about Democrats treating progressives like the enemy instead of their fellow voters. Moderates will never vote for you, progressives actually want to!
Before social media, I didn't realize how much undiagnosed mental illness was out there, how brainwashed people are, how many people are addicted to magical thinking, or how many people are unable to understand anything complex and have to put every idea & everyone in a box. It's pretty depressing.
If Democrats do not run the next few elections on holding this regime accountable and taxing the rich, they will not win. There are extremely popular platform talking points to run on, for the love of god use them and then deliver on them or we are never getting out of this hell hole.
I don't understand why people act like humility is a bad thing. Are a lot of people stupid? Yes. The entire human race isn't that smart, to be honest. We need to accept that. Ego gets in the way of learning, humility encourages learning. Culturally we have decided ego is more important than reality.
It feels like a lot of morons from Twitter are showing up recently and not getting that this place has a different culture. Quote posting so you can trash someone is fucking stupid here because they can immediately pull their content. This isn't a pro-trolling platform, idiots.
Millions of progressives did vote for Kamala Harris. I did. All of my progressive friends did. I don't know one single person IRL who refused over Gaza. Progressives are not a monolith. Treating your own side like shit is why the left can't unite on anything. A lot of Democrats need to grow up.
Unfortunately still just as true today as when Oscar Wilde wrote it in 1890.
STOP ASKING IF IT IS LEGAL! The US President has no assigned authority to interfere with elections in the USA and never has had such authority! His attempts to interfere with elections is CRIMINAL! If SCOTUS was still loyal to the constitution, they would immediately say the same! #usdemocracy
We only rate dogs. This is a whirlpool. Please don't get too close. It is quite powerful. Still 13/10 (IG: goldenbabybasil)
Dear religious busybody assholes, If you try to take my birth control, the only thing standing between me and constant agony from endometriosis, you will go to hell. Fuck you and your "moral" high horse you rode in on. Millions of women need BC to live a bearable existence.
Americans’ Acceptance For Birth Control Hits All-Time Low Since Polling Began

My pov on liberalism and the Democratic Party boils down to the fact we are facing an enemy using the most modern weaponry and tactics and our side doesn’t even think there’s a war on
I know what those treasonous fucks are all about. Many of them were probably at the Capitol on January 6th. They need to be classified as a terrorist organization and shut the hell down.
We have actually convinced ourselves that needing rest is laziness, which makes us feel unwarranted shame that disrupts our rest, making us exhausted all the time. Puritan thinking is incredibly unhealthy.

I am suspicious when a person doesn't like cats. But I totally trust a cat when it doesn't like a person.

To be clear, the UFC arena at the bulldozed White House isn’t just trashy, tacky, disrespectful and inappropriate, it is also an illegal corrupt for-profit scheme, destruction of govt property and another way for a sadistic criminal and his rabid KKK cultists to promote violence.
One of the first new laws when we rid ourselves is the orange rapist felon is no more people in our government with a record that pertains to theft, bribery, rape, extortion, pedophilia, fraud etc If they're drug testing for food stamps & minimum wage jobs, the government should be drug tested too

Also since I’m up, it’s a good time to remind folks that corporations aren’t people. Data centers don’t need charity - they need to pay their fair share.
This is fascism. This is literally what fascism is by textbook definition. We have rights and laws against this type of bullshit because it is fascism. It's time for this regime to go to prison. Join the general strike, we can end this now, not before everything gets worse.
