For a self proclaimed alpha male, Andrew Tate seems to be losing to a bunch of tech nerds, not gonna lie.

@mdaelynm @yurionviolin @mattxiv Lol what…still didn’t make sense the need to bring this up

Give yourself the gift of a refresh.

Step away from your desk even just 10min.

And not just for the sake of productivity...

but for the sake of your mental health, sanity and joy.

I swear, a good haircut is better than therapy.

When a SaaS you want is really expensive, what do you tell yourself that eventually gets you to subscribe?

I need it right now 😅

American politics lean heavily to the right.

One side we have extreme far right politics, but what is often left out is that D's are also on the right.

Perhaps not by US standards, but in the range of political ideologies, both parties are devoted to neoliberalism...

[Emilio Lopez @EmilioWav]

...and the ideology's strict adherence to free international trade, austerity and highly privatized economies.

This means that at the end of the day D's and R's disagree on relatively few things, and most of those things are minor aesthetic differences or the usual hot-button culture war topics.

But stopping there ignores the special role D's play in the American political system.

[Emilio Lopez @EmilioWav]

D's actively enable the R's agenda.

This is called the ratchet effect.

In the real world this can be seen when D's do any and or all of these three things...

[Emilio Lopez @EmilioWav]

1. Passively accept movement towards the right
2. Move to the right themselves
3. Block movement to the left

[Emilio Lopez @EmilioWav]

Lets start with (3):

It's becoming obvious that properly leftist ideas are gaining traction in US.

More & more people are losing faith in capitalism, & several policies Americans have considered L-wing like Uni. Health Care, 📈min wage, free college, are more popular than ever.

[Emilio Lopez @EmilioWav]

With around 2/3 of Americans and the overwhelming majority of D voters supporting them but these policies and many others never become law

Why?

Because D's aren't responding to the growth and popularity of Leftism

In fact, they're actively resisting it
