That simply isn’t true.

It is. All the "doom and gloom" rings hollow on satisfied ears. There must be a real problems people see daily. False reasons for those very real problems are where right wing propaganda does its work

You do not feel the consequences of good policy in your bones.

I am certain this bit here is where we may just have to disagree my friend. It has been so long since we have had bones-deep good policy we have forgotten what that might feel like.

Regardless, this is a lesson the DNC must learn, not you or i. All the 10 page excuses are meaningless if you first aren't elected to push em, and that's where they are right now

Yeah this "dems bad at messaging" line of excuses is really tired to me. If things are going good in your life you don't need to be told by someone that it is, you just know it in your bones.

Conversely all the "messaging" in the world won't convince us things are going fine when our daily life experience is the opposite.

Dems aren't bad at messaging because they are bad at getting the word out, it's that decades of messaging without follow-through with measurable, noticeable increase in quality of our daily lives means we don't believe the message anymore

If you're someone's boss and all they ever do when they fuck up is blame others for their failures and when you bring em in your office they hand you a 10 page document explaining all the work they tried to do, pedantically explaining how you're and idiot that "just doesn't see all the work they've looked into." ?? You'd fuckin fire em right?

Voters have shifted right because they’re hurting

I don't believe this is the case.

• The Democratic Party took many steps rightward in Harris' campaign (border security, death penalty, cheney).

• Trump barely increased his vote count from 2020, like mayyybe 40k more votes?

• 15 million Dem voters from 2020 didn't vote at all this time rather more people voting R.

• Leftist voices within the DNC spoke urgently and stridently about the DNCs need to listen to its left base more or face backlash.

You got it backwards, the DNC misread the people and shifted to the right of its own base

Opinion: Authors that proclaim voters "need to be more educated" should maybe be forced to buy a book on how politics work... have always worked, since the beginning of time.

Then: as they quite clearly don't know how to use a book properly they should shove that book as far up their asses as it can go.

The only way forward for the people of America is to leave both corrupted corporate parties behind.

Yeah what i mean is it's stupid to ask people who don't care about the product or the consumer, "why?". This is an anti-consumer move clearly designed to make the ceo more money. So why even ask? Unnecessary. Asking them is begging them to lie to your face.

Fuck the boss, man. When have they known shit? Gotta stop asking em things like we don't know the answer. I'd be interested in the opinion of one of the devs maybe, but never the ceo. They're as useless and predictable as a magic 8 ball

I love how we're talking to the owners of shit like they know wtf they're talking bout and never the

I believe thescene where they get their palms read was also cut from the theatrical release

Lol i bet in 4 years we'll be beggin' for a moderate Dem like Cheney

God i'll never forget where i was when he dropped out. I had phone banked and donated and I was watching his concession speech just....wrecked maaan, wrecked at how the DNC et al had ratfucked him and how tilted the game was... and while I'm saltin my booze with tears someone in the group asks him "What do we do now?" and he says something like

"Vote Dem, vote in your primaries"

and my heart fell in that shitty whiskey with the rest. Maaaan, i never knew i still had faith to lose until that moment.

Get to know your neighbors. Organizing doesn't have to mean politically, and community is the only strength we have.

I'm dead serious. Get to know your neighbors. At home. At work? (lolsafely) Do less work, more talking to your co-workers about work. About whatever. But yaknow, get to know them. And probably find out you agree about a lot of the stuff that's not on tv.

Organizing isn't some nebulous concept, politics isn't for lawyers. Organizing (and politicking) 's just... talking to people. People who like you n me who can't "influence politics" and don't know how to start. But we do know what we need.

People power is right there with us every day, politics is everyday life. So get to know your neighbors

Yoyo look, this guy's fucking nostradamus up in here, right? It's gonna happen just like this.

I'm thinking newsome is the "perfect" candidate for 28.

Whoever it is, I bet you, just like me can't wait to be told how stupid i am and actually great they are by credulous online political minds who call parroting the pundits talking points word-for-word fucking theory

🎶I don't care i don't vote blue Tuesday's race was just for fools Neither party cares bout you It's Friday, I'm in-game🎶

i used to as part of my weekend job working in an old hospital have to walk the breadth of it and at some point decided that i would try to use every single bathroom in the place. Over the course of months i found many cool nooks and quiet bathrooms but i never finished the mission because i found the PERFECT bathroom.

in the middle of an access hallway, up some narrow stairs, was a dead-end office. The only entrance was this one stairwell. Sun-facing windows looked out over the roof of the building and west, shining in on a bank of training computers. smell of warm dust and absolute quiet.

someone knew of it, cuz there was always toilet paper, but in my many trips to that special place i never saw a soul. Something about that place i can't describe to you, the vibe, the feel. it was perfect. I abandoned my efforts to find better and instead would walk past other open bathrooms just to use that one again.

I still think about that room sometimes. Never been paid to poo in a better one.

I've heard in the theatrical version he goes back and ends his friendship right? In the version i saw

I really liked that movie. Last ¼ was a tough watch, i get why it wasn't popular. But i loved the movie too

I saw a version with a different ending (cuz piracy) than that what was widely released in theaters and i really liked it. Have you seen both? Do you know what I'm talking about?

If the DNC chair had an opinion worth considering then they already would have resigned in the disgrace and shame everyone else feels for them

The dream sequences alone with the egg and the screaming say youre probably righ
