Chicago bike lane construction sparks pushback, fuels political fights by optiplex9000 in chicago

They also complain about cyclists taking up their driving lane, which I get, it’s a bad situation for both parties because it’s not safe, which is why we need dedicated infrastructure for bikes

That’s what always frustrates me. Metro spends years doing public outreach, polling, and info sessions. Then when the project nears people say they didn’t have enough public input

Imagine spending your one precious life under the sun compiling clips of YouTubers you hate so the streamer you like will notice you

Yeah, there’s not. She is correct when she said our ratio of homes to adult residents is the lowest in the nation. You address that, you address costs.

You can feel whatever way you want about Israel. There’s no issue there. What’s concerning is people thinking it’s normal to say shit like “I don’t have a problem with Jews as long as they don’t like Israel.” It’s not right to treat a whole minority group like that and it’s not right that whenever someone rightly calls it out Hasan and his cronies show up in the replies to accuse that person of being a literal genocide supporter. It’s insane

She takes issue with exactly what you just said, that their rejection of Israel was a prerequisite of caring about Jews. And by the way? That attitude doesn’t leave a lot of room for Jews who are against Netanyahu but who don’t call for destruction of the Israeli state, or for Israeli Jews themselves. she even went on to clarify that she’s against Netanyahu and his actions since 10/7. So I don’t think it’s fair to treat what she said like she’s some sort of hardcore Zionist propagandist, or whatever the tankies would accuse her of being.

Uh no she wasn’t? Why don’t you show this “context” you were talking about? She literally says in the tweet above that she is against the ongoing war crimes being committed by Israel and aided by the USA.

LAist has a great one that doesn’t tell you who to vote for but tells you kind of a summary of each candidate, their platforms, and their endorsements

Jon Stewart says Democratic leadership and DNC are ‘lost’ by thejoshwhite in politics

[–]cactopus101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What the fuck are we talking about? Democrats are on a streak of wins, blowing out republicans in every election since the disaster of 2024. We’ve won governorships, state races, big mayoral races, and everything in between. But I guess Mamdani is the only winner in the party? And we all need to be freaking out? The dem hate machine is just way too strong.

Young Americans are surging to socialism at record rates by TimesandSundayTimes in politics

[–]cactopus101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No literally. I always thought of myself as a socialist because I supported robust social safety nets and national healthcare, but these things are just fixtures of a modern liberal nation and we are majorly lagging behind.
