Voters are saying “I am going to be homeless and can’t even afford bread”. The Democrat response to this is “stop being racist, the economy is fine”.

I’m really not sure what anyone expected besides failure from this.

It sucks because some of the agencies were doing good work, especially the mounting attacks on landlords and monopolists/oligopolists, which are necessary but will almost certainly end now. Honestly it felt like they wanted to lose, having learned nothing from 2016.

Lost to Trump again, opinion discarded

This comment once again proving that when you hit a lib, a fascist cries out.

The poor have a lot less to lose than you do. This isn’t going to change much for them, so it was on people like you to convince them to vote. Promising nothing besides “Not Trump” isn’t going to cut it. Try actually helping them for a change instead of blaming them and then wishing they get fucked, you god damned psychopath.

“Trickle-Upon Economics” really does capture the vibe and the reality of the experience.

we get more fascist every election cycle

And whose fault is that? When you give your vote away for free you get rightward drift. Make the fuckers earn it instead of leaving the switch on Vote Blue No Matter Who like the good little liberal you are.

One whole paragraph followed by a comment like that implies someone is usually talking about the whole episode going on and not just the keywords you singled out.

Ok I’ve heard all kinds of different reasons someone might be privileged, but doing work on the ground for years and laying the groundwork for real activism rather than whatever the hell you call this terminally online bullshit, is now what you people call privilege?

This shit is why Occupy died.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Supply-Side Jesus

It turns out sending in a human instead of a vegetable might work out. That said, many complaints about her past as a “law and order” piece of shit are very valid.

This is a strange angle because the UK does not have notably higher levels of knife ownership but has a disproportionately high level of stabbings.

I think the idea that the cause of gun violence is guns is just flawed. People need a reason to commit violence, they don’t just do it for fun.

Huh I wasn’t expecting to get such a bombshell comment disproving the claim but damn you knocked it out of the park.

AR15 weapons have been used (and continue to be used damn near weekly) in mass shootings that has killed hundreds of children.

Calling this out because I do not believe the evidence supports this. Please provide evidence for this claim.

Canada and Sweden still have a lot of guns but considerably lower rates of violence in general, and gun violence in particular.

Did America not just lose a forever war against a bunch of dudes in the desert with AKs and homemade bombs?

Ah yes like the Boeing employees who shot themselves in the head twice.

A lot of management are coming out of “business schools” that are little more than indoctrination. These people don’t know the difference between a leader and a manager and qualify as neither.

More-or-less my wife’s situation. I feel for her and try my best to support her, but she’s miserable every working day for the same reasons as you. Maybe it’s time to grab a new job as an experienced tech or even a consultant?

Biggest thing I did to go from feeling like shit to actually feeling engaged was getting involved with my union. Life is so much more satisfying when you do something that matters, and when the existing union leadership who have been largely useless described me as “trouble” I felt validated lol.

Even if your union is running well they pretty much can always use an extra set of hands, so step up!
