I fully believe Bernie Sanders has asked “when can I gesture that the left should split from the Democratic Party” for his whole life. I think it’s the only thing that works at this point. I also think it’s too late and he isn’t going to have a meaningful place in it.
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.
kinda wild that stuff like universal healthcare or debt forgiveness were just totally off the table this election. not even up for discussion. feel like the last few elections were were at least talking about stuff like that
the leftist position is that people’s positions, even if horrific, have roots in their material reality. the liberal position as best i can tell is that 20-30% of the country has an irredeemably evil soul. i guess im going with the one you could actually do something about.
I think the thing that really fucked everything was not helping people recover from covid, letting price gouging run rampant, making ordinary people struggle while gaslighting them with propaganda about how the economy is actually doing great, stupid.
@genderxfury :( the landlords absolutely have to come back out if it’s still acting up, you have every right to be annoying to them about it until they actually deal with the problem. I’d be causing a scene lol
Earth is set to temporarily obtain another moon on September 29th.
The asteroid known as a ‘mini-moon’ is expected to make a single orbit journey around Earth, ending on November 25th.
Vader’s voice gets a lot of credit for being powerful & intimidating, but not enough for also being insanely charismatic and over the top while still feeling grounded. Vader lives for drama, he loves to queen out, he’s the best villain of all time. Shoutout James Earl Jones
Thinking about how they replaced Darth Vader’s original voice with James Earl Jones without telling the original actor & he didn’t know until seeing the movie in theaters. RIP
*subnote: a cliff she really died on was comparing so many beats in this movie to Avatar: The Last Airbender that I couldn’t fit it all in the review. “Kylo is giving Zuko with almost turning good then doubling down. Rey is Katara in the cave sequence.”
Georgia is indulging me and agreeing to do a Star Wars marathon leading up to and during my vasectomy recovery. We’re about to watch & discuss an obscene amount of Star Wars
Episode VIII: “10/10. Luke’s arc wrapped up really well, he’s always been a farm boy. YODA RETURN. BENICIO DEL TORO. PORGS. 90’s baby actors killed it. Jedi ethics mentioned. Love the Rey training sequence & the fights. Felt like a real movie while Ep 7 felt like a theme park.”
