The issue with "lesser of two evils" politics is if you run a race of 99% Hitler vs 100% Hitler, 100% Hitler wins every time because the people who want a Hitler vote for 100% Hitler and the people who don't want a Hitler might not vote for either of them
Can't stop thinking about how Starbucks can afford to give its new CEO $113 million & a private jet, a $10.6 million golden parachute to its departing CEO & a $60 million golden parachute to the CEO who left in 2022, but still can't sign a first contract with its union workers.
Liberals will compromise with literal fascists (because that’s what they’ve called republicans) before they bend, even slightly to their left with a Socialist. I’m not supposed to demand anything from my vote, but Harris is offering compromise before a win, for a moderate’s vote?
hurricane katrina was a radicalizing moment for me-seeing people left to die-painting help on the roofs while the helis whizzed past. people getting food were shot by the same mercenaries hired in iraq-katrina woke me up-that could be me on that roof-they will leave us all behind
W.E.B. Du Bois: "In 1956, I shall not go to the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no "two evils" exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say..."
If you won’t stop a genocide to get my vote, there’s no reason to believe you’ll pass policies that would materially benefit me and my community. It takes noting to stop sending weapons, it takes everything to pass policies.
Under standing US law, the President is legally required to stop delivery of weapons to a country that denies the delivery of humanitarian aid. Biden's continued backing of Israel isn't just immoral, it's illegal.
what's insane about this is that the democratic voters, activists, and majority of voters who want this aren't asking for her to create any new policy, they're asking her to follow existing law that prohibits sending weapons to countries that are committing war crimes
If I had a nickel for every time the tva arrested an anti-hero and paired them up with an actor from night at the museum, I'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice
bring back gaffers, beef up the art department for your films, good production design looks better than CGI, practical effects are beautiful, puppetry needs to come back in style, establishing shots are your friend, hairstyling in cinema has fallen off… I could go on
then train harder.
they do this with every black or brown woman whose better than them. they were calling serena williams a man because she was good at her job. there is no mass conspiracy to keep you white women from excelling; only your own mediocrity is to blame.
This is the plan. To purge votes. To disqualify ballots. To intimidate voters and poll workers. Republicans aren’t trying to win. They’re trying to make sure Democrats lose.
