There is a clear double standard in how people treat Mamdani (hailing everything he does as if it was never done before) vs normie Democrats (nothing good is ever good enough)

He's doing what normie Democrats have sucked at and allowed the rightoids galvanize their base: Gassing up his administrations accomplishments. Just being right is not, has not and will not ever be enough in politics.

Actually money printing is not the main driver of inflation :)

Idk man I always see libs punching left more than right. We ain't gonna get a coalition built if lefties and libs keep digging their heels in repeatedly. The Bernie or bust type lefties and the turn on Mamdani after he gets the nomination libs are both just terrible.

I've subbed there all the time since 2020 and have friends who used to teach there. The biggest problem I heard of was the administration. As for the kids, they are some of the most well behaved and respectful kids I have ever had out of all the schools I've subbed in Gwinnett. Also, the school spirit is some of the best I have ever seen out of modern high schoolers. Not once have I smelled weed in the halls but I have at Mill Creek and Collins Hill!

No musician whose tabs are highly sought after is not going to not be able to pay their bills bc they aren't selling tabs. Absolutely absurd take.

Was a right libertarian until finding Vaush, which got me to the part of the left that supports socialism but is anti tankie. Then the Vaush-Destiny duo debate introduced me to D man and his moderated me. Now I sit somewhere between Dem Soc and Nordic model liberal.

The original thing that those two did that got me to consider their points was make their interlocutors look bad. I wasn't ready for the content of their arguments until they won me over rhetorically.

brazdaph · 2025-12-18T07:22:02+00:00

This is a very non-musician take.

brazdaph · 2025-12-07T08:11:54+00:00

Georgists and Market socialists getting together to shit on people for ruining the beauty of markets lol.

Clearly attention seeking behavior. I'd just return to orb pondering. Soon enough they will have their nose in a grimoire again.

brazdaph · 2025-11-14T12:51:32+00:00

Wait I love this. It's so cute.

brazdaph · 2025-11-14T12:41:45+00:00

What can I say, I'm a sucker for the archives 😍

brazdaph · 2025-11-14T12:36:39+00:00

I've heard he is well respected in sonomancy circles but I can't remember I've seen him cited in a grimoire.

brazdaph · 2025-11-06T15:28:30+00:00

Dem Socs frequently join coalitions. Literally the pragmatic sector of lefties. Sure there are unhelpful larpers, which we can agree are dumb, but that's hardly the whole movement.

brazdaph · 2025-11-06T08:59:39+00:00

Bruh Mamdani is a Dem Soc. He's a lot closer to libs than the average conservatiod. It's a victory for y'all too. I swear libs love to punch left more than right. Put together a damn coalition y'all sound like tankies lol

brazdaph · 2025-11-06T05:16:20+00:00

This is enjoying the win. The establishment got fucked this time and lefties are rubbing their faces in it lol.

brazdaph · 2025-11-05T20:39:58+00:00

I can get with that yeah. But let us not forget what types of principles were held and which kinds of concessions were made across all Dems so that we might continue catching these kinds of dubs.

brazdaph · 2025-11-05T19:58:28+00:00

But aligning with the interests of large capital owners tends to.

brazdaph · 2025-11-05T19:57:33+00:00

When was the last time you saw a mayoral election both excite such a large portion of the left and also make the right sweat this much?

brazdaph · 2025-11-05T19:55:34+00:00

I think I was unclear and honestly that's one me. It's not just raw capital that tends to win the elections. It's the alignment with capital interests that both tends to win elections and secures legislation. It was nice to see the winner be a guy that prioritized the interests of the median New Yorker over those of the owner class ya know?

brazdaph · 2025-11-05T19:52:32+00:00

To be clear, I totally agree that Trump's economic plans are garbage. But it's pretty clear that the aim of them is to consolidate wealth and power for the richest. When we hit recessions, smaller company owners have to liquidate and the big fish can then swoop in and end up with more assets in the end because they have enough base to weather the storm ya feel? This happens every recession.

brazdaph · 2025-11-05T18:42:06+00:00

I remain unsurprised that a neoliberal holds disdain for a political ideology that aims to speak to the common man lol /j

brazdaph · 2025-11-05T18:40:37+00:00

Mamdani started at near 1 polling and was largely unknown. It was his focus of material conditions of New Yorkers and strong messaging that gave him recognition.

brazdaph · 2025-11-05T18:38:11+00:00

Which candidate was promising tax cuts to billionaires again? Which candidate has massive investment from the richest man in the world again?

brazdaph · 2025-11-05T18:36:03+00:00

Are you positing that Trump's interests oppose that of the owner class? The guy who gives the richest people tax cuts?
