I invite all air traffic controllers to consider striking* until the GOP agrees not to kill health care access to many many millions of Americans.
*Is it even a strike if you're already not getting paid?
@Tironianae Lol he didn't get stabbed
He lied about it on the day to explain why he was such a whining blubbering little asswipe but the doctors at the hospital found his only gash was between his legs
@BobbyHavenakt2@trouble_man90 Copmala in every California election was a conservative Democrat who downplayed her Blackness and emphasized being Indian until she went national. I finally voted for her when I had to, but she would have been a moderate Republican before the GOP *completely* lost its mind.
@CheReal85@trouble_man90 This is the second time I've seen someone say this; my experience as a white leftist is we all admire and respect her a bunch and wish the party establishment would take her more seriously? I'm so confused by this claim
@brownsugar7878@trouble_man90 I'm so confused
Abrams and Crockett are widely admired among the leftists I know, white or otherwise. Where's this alleged hate? It always seems to come from moderate white Democrats to me
@trouble_man90@Iamsock Dude as soon as Fetterman began acting like he has been, we dropped him. Sorry about his health thing or whatever but everyone left of Reagan wants him out
@LeisDuch@AuthorMJClifton Like when it was "her turn"?
Now he's going to stop Trump by being exactly the kind of Democrat that lost 2 elections to Trump?
I like him more than Johnson or even Pelosi but I don't think the Schumer wing is helping anything.
That said I'm sure he'll get it and good for him.
@CoincidenceSimu@SwannMarcus89 If you think Democrats are communist, you don't understand America, capitalism, communism, or either major US political party and you're probably past learning
@neeratanden@neeratanden is the kind of person you'd hire as a dog walker to learn she'd subcontracted the work to Kristi Noem then used her free time to kidnap the neighbor's cat, staple it to your ceiling then demand a bonus for exceptional pet care.
@ckane608@neeratanden This is the thing.
Folks in Oklahoma said to me over & over "well we needed change and I wanted Sanders but I had no choice but to vote for Trump."
Stupid? Yup. Still true.
But when I tell this to life long blue bubble imbeciles, they literally just don't believe me. Useless.
@phystro@neeratanden They don't have to win or achieve anything.
They can lose and fail, people can die from their ineptitude but they still get to go to fancy fund raising dinners and galas and hob nob away from the plebes and accountability, feel important and arrogant.
@JamesRussell88@neeratanden As an SF resident, that election was the first time I DIDN'T vote against Copmala, but I didn't try as hard to fight reality to get her elected as I did with HRC. There was no world where Hillary could have won, and Harris was starting later and further from the goal.
@1deegs@neeratanden I mean, if ANYONE can speak with authority about losing winnable elections, it's the arrogant mandarins of the controlled opposition
@actingliketommy@neeratanden Yeah.
No one surprised by the outcome of 2016 has a right to publicly express political opinions. They've completely lost it by muffling their voice in their own butthole.
@fiat_money@neeratanden I'm from the reddest red state.
Bernie won the primary, and I can't count how many times I've heard "well, I really wanted to vote for Sanders but there's no way I'd vote for her."
Anyone who talks to actual people has the same conversation.
Blue bubblers just say "nuh uh".
