The result of LBJ’s expansions of the welfare state amid the War on Poverty was the reduction of the American poverty rate 8 percent over ten years Now to check and see who won the next five elections after he started that

Isabella Weber is THE economist to be listening to right now “Fascism is rising from frustration, born out of a crisis of livelihoods,” says Weber. “So, we need to reclaim these essentials now.” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Four Canadian Armed Forces members were killed during training in CFB Wainwright on Saturday. Dozens were injured. Two days later, this. A generation of Canadians will never see the States the same way again and how could you possibly blame them?

Trump on Canada: "I promised them if they become the 51st state, I said, 'I will let you keep ice hockey and I will let you keep your O Canada national anthem.'"

1) It is good that this woman is now changing her mind and potentially voting the right way 2) These conversations are fundamentally flawed as long as they don't come with a "okay, so what did you learn about the mistake you made and the information that led you there and how will you change that"

3-time Trump voter who lost her job from DOGE: The betrayal is pretty significant. Come time for presidential elections, it's gonna warrant a conversation of what party we vote for. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

And in a perfect example of this, our friend Pablo, a citizen of Spain who is ineligible to vote in US elections, popped back up again yesterday in a conversation about US politics. Notice how he acts like he's a voter, and tacitly allows people to assume that he is without correcting them?

Pablo, a Spaniard, is lying here, pretending to be a US voter. "As a queer person myself, I don't feel compelled to vote for democrats who won't do shit to make me an equal to everybody else and will make me wait for the Supreme Court to step up. The whole 'the supreme court did it" is a huge piece of evidence of what the issue here is."

Also, a reminder now that we’re ~3 weeks away from election day itself: there’s plenty of non-Americans on here who like to LARP as US citizens and start shit in political discussions, some for ulterior motives and some because they think it’s fun. Be on your guard.

I very much agree with this, but one thing it passes over is the extent to which the Left adopts Third World ethno-nationalisms under the auspices of anticolonialism. Arab and Palestinian nationalism is deeply intertwined with antisemitism and an uncritical adoption will make you antisemitic.
