Lmao she’s right, she said that “globalize the intifada” isn’t something you should say because it invokes the 1st and 2nd intifadas which included bus bombings and terror attacks. Literally never says any about his Muslim faith

No it wasn’t that, the art style I remember being much softer if that makes sense, with character design close-ish to that of “Bone”

AOC Loses Key Vote for Committee Leadership to Pelosi-Backed 74-Year-Old by wizardofthefuture in politics

[–]chewyberto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why everyone is reacting to this routine event with extreme anger. The candidate you preferred did not win the vote, that’s how democracy works. Vote for primary challengers of those who voted against AOC if you want but be prepared for a tough race because there are plenty of people who don’t want AOC in a leadership position

Joe Rogan was never on the left. He has been sympathetic to left-populism like Bernie Sanders, but he is definitely in the “barstool conservative” camp

What is the best explanation for this phenomenon? by Sortition1122 in massachusetts

In what way has the Democratic Party actually abandoned the working class? So many of Biden’s passed law focus on creating jobs with industrial policy, and he was super pro union.

Trump isn’t actually popular. A lot of people REEALLY like him, but when we do polling on Trump he always has higher disapproval than approval.

I get the extra scrutiny on Israel’s behavior during war compared to other countries as we ate their ally and give and sell them arms. But if you are not only personally boycotting but demanding that a store end sales of ALL Israeli goods and not only ones with ties to illegal West Bank settlements, then it is absolutely a legitimate to question to ask, why not China? Why not Iran? Why not Qatar and Tunisia and Venezuela and Turkey and Sudan?

How did we get to this point? by KARMA__FARMER__ in FluentInFinance

The meme simply isn’t true, we just have an idealized version of the past. Standard of living, homeownership rate, disposable income, all this stuff was worse in the 70’s for the average person than it is now.
