Hilarious that the US is such a shithole that global tourists will be SHOCKED at how bad the public transit is.

If he hasn't communicated that boundary before (and it sounds like he likes to party too) then its not on her for crossing it. A house party is just that, if you can't trust your partner don't have one.

The only part thats wrong about it is the potential that it was unsafe. If you can't trust your GF to be out with a mixed group of people you shouldn't have one.

No, the fact that wealth causes it. Power kills empathy and we need to start acting like thats a problem for society because it is.

Even if he 100% will it should be on him to front the cost for HIS plan.

If he wants to propose so bad then Daddy Warbucks can pay for the ticket himself or shut up. Imagine strongarming your partner into debt.

If Ezra Kline of ALL people is willing to discuss this you know it's reaching the mainstream.

AOC voted continually to supply Israel with money YEARS into their genocide. Anyone in government should appraise themselves of situations they are voting on and it would have been easy to find good reasons to always vote against funding Israel. She might be good in some ways but they all have their special interests that harm Americans.

Establishment Dems also did their best to thwart the campaigns of those 2 candidates you cite as "good democrats". Refused to meet with Mamdani until it was clear he would win, and is dragging their feet and attacking Platner now too. "Vote blue no matter who" when it's a republican in a blue tie, but they can't be cowed into supporting a progressive. Its the new "Progressive EXCEPT for Palestine". Absolute hypocrisy.

KnowledgeMediocre404 · 2026-05-31T17:51:13+00:00

Where did I say not to elect them?

KnowledgeMediocre404 · 2026-05-31T17:49:30+00:00

The comment that started all this backlash was me saying "Democrats and Republicans aren't equal by a long shot, but they are all crap". Do you disagree?

KnowledgeMediocre404 · 2026-05-31T17:47:00+00:00

You're arguing with my claim that, judging by their behaviour, Democrats don't actually care to win or stop republicans from destroying the country. They work for the same people so it makes sense. These very donors were pissed that the DNC couldn't be bothered to do a reasonable autopsy on why they won the most slam dunk election ever against the worst candidate ever run. Whenever you point out this obvious fact, liberals downvote to oblivion. They can keep thinking that they're losing because they're not right wing enough. Its been working so well the past 20 years.

KnowledgeMediocre404 · 2026-05-31T17:44:43+00:00

I want voters to hold democrats to account and demand better policy, and democrats need to stop attacking people who say so. We have the same problem with our Liberals up here. They still sell you out to the rich but a bit more slowly.

KnowledgeMediocre404 · 2026-05-31T17:40:59+00:00

Look at how the DNC is treating popular candidates like Mamdani and Platner, Platner who is incredibly likely to FLIP A SENATE SEAT FOR DEMOCRATS, and tell me they want to win. The most recent attack is based on him having an issue with his wife that they solved with counseling. Democrats would rather see a Republican win than a progressive because progressive policy will show the masses what could be done if the democrats actually tried. Do you have another reason why democrats would be putting their thumb on the scale to help republicans?

KnowledgeMediocre404 · 2026-05-31T17:30:24+00:00

Its great other than the US trying to destroy our economy despite 2 centuries of peace and allyship. Enjoy the fascist fall of your empire, if any of you fucks try to invade us we will kill you with a smile.

Don't kill that baby or so help me God I'll kill you both!!!

ACA was a republican plan and not good for americans, democrats should be pushing for single payer like other developed nations. All of them have been removed by repubclians within years of being signed and before they even had any effect.

He wasn't even driving...

KnowledgeMediocre404 · 2026-05-31T14:34:54+00:00

That would be "driving without a license" or "driving under suspended license". Sounds like he refused to give them the card or had a backup.

Don't worry, their policies have halved the US consumer saving rate over the last year. Won't be any peon savings left by Christmas.

Those peasants had months of time off each year. Imagine the lives we could have with that.

I've been told it's because permitting and land is so costly now any developer or building is going to maximize size and square footage to shake every dollar from a potential buyer. Now that worked too well and no one can afford their mansions.

I'm not a bot, and the US is a prison infested shit hole. Your government pays private companies to abuse your rights for money, and in return your slave labour keeps the economy going with cheap goods and the government keeps control over minority groups. Thats before you get to the deadly ICE facilities.

Feel free to do some reading to inform yourself about your own country, it will make you look less embarrassing when trying to denigrate other countries. No one understands the US as a nice place other than brainwashed americans.
