If there are no jobs, it’s not much of a “boom,” is it? All of the economic gains are going to the top 10%. Everyone else can barely afford food and rent.

The purpose of voting is to trick you into believing that you have a say in how you're governed, so that you don't storm the palace and behead the king. It's a safety valve for power. Passive compliance where one accepts and internalizes oppression via the results of an election makes things worse.
Our vote has been highly controlled since inception. It began with only land-owning white men having the right and that’s exactly what they want to get us back to. At NO time in history has our government made voting a priority for all. NEVER.

Certainly many Dems hate you, but those dems wouldn't strive to wipe you out. This isn't all a game; eugenecists don't just hate you, but literally seek to destroy you. Bigots suck, but murderous supremacists are the ones in power.Hyperbole that equates intolerance with murder serves the eugenecists

The only thing that centrists defend is capitalism. Aside from that, they sway with the political winds and flock to what's popular. They're willing to sacrifice anything, because they believe in nothing. They adopt heinous positions because their lack of core values makes for unstable politics.

This is what happens in a deeply unequal society. The rich get richer, while the poor get left behind. The established economic metrics are designed to mask this fact, which is why you have a bunch of chart fetishists on here proclaiming that the pain and suffering of the underclass isn't real.
The 'boomcession': Why Americans feel left behind by a growing economy

Show this to the next Democrat that says trans issues aren't critically important "right now"

This is all elementary Marxism. I don’t hate (most) technology, I just hate the bosses who control it. You’re never, ever going to get a good result even with a good technology as long as the capitalist elites own and control the production and use of that technology. Seize the means or we’re fucked

We need to call out the avalanche of lies.
And most importantly, we need to stand up for our communities—because they are being terrorized by their own government.

Epstein died 7 years ago. Most of the emails that we're seeing are more than a decade old and connect to what we're experiencing today. You should consider what the current Epsteins are doing--others have likely filled the vacuum and replaced him--and the kinds of emails that they're sending now.

The Obama presidency was one of the most radicalizing things in modern politics because it proved how fake everything was and showed how much we had been lied to. Few people saw through the bullshit before the election and those that did were dismissed as being overly cynical.
This is the most lib post I’ll make for a while- but I remember Jesse Jackson crying in the crowd when Obama made his victory speech so vividly and I remember thinking “he was on the balcony when Martin Luther King died” and it making me cry and I wish very much the hope of that moment had continued

Not sure how you plan to accomplish that in a two-party system where the other side is guaranteed to get back into power at some point. And if you're proposing a one-party system instead, isn't that what Trump is effectively trying to impose? Yes, you elected Joe Biden, and look at what happened.
People need to understand that we CANNOT elect another Republican president. That means that we nominate and vote for someone who can WIN. Everything else is just posturing and self-destructive. Joe Biden wasn’t my choice in 2020 but he got my vote because he wasn’t Trump.
