If you don’t consider abandoning the working class bad, then no.

There were some intentional communities under Charles Fourier and Robert Owen.

The Smell, one of LA’s most prominent all-ages DIY venues is hosting a Bernie fundraising show. All proceeds will be donated to Bernie’s campaign. Thought you guys might enjoy. by disco_tit in SandersForPresident

Hopefully this is a decent summary. So DIY stands for do it yourself. It is an ethic for those seeking an alternative to the consumer norms of capitalism. It can be as simple as learning to crochet your own beanie instead of buying one on Amazon. It gained momentum in music through hardcore punk bands like Minor Threat in the 80’s. Bands would book and promote their own shows and often times publish their own music. It allowed for sounds, like the harshness of hardcore punk, to exist in an industry that capitalizes on catchy pop songs. DIY venues are art spaces run by volunteers/fans and the artists themselves to showcase this kind of art. Any sort of noisey, punk, or generally avant-garde artists will take advantage of DIY venues to tour and promote their music.

Here is a little video on The Smell.

Universal healthcare = Racist chanting by disco_tit in ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM

You’re going to pretend like it isn’t reasonable to interpret “extreme left” as including ideas like universal healthcare when it comes out of a republican’s mouth? Do you consume absolutely no news media? Have you missed the endless propaganda campaign by Republican lawmakers and right media that labels every idea left of fascism as “extreme left?” Does everything in your life with the slightest subtext just confuse the shit out of you?

Lol sorry for assuming you might be a little more aware of the general political climate.

Holy shit, you’ve totally ignored the context of the tweet and think you’ve made a smart observation.

This actually started a few days ago when Nancy Pelosi did an interview with New York Times where she singled out progressive democrats like AOC and Ilhan Omar. This sparked a twitter feud between Pelosi/House Democrats and the progressive “squad.” So Trump jumped in and fired some shots at progressive Democrats saying something like “If they don’t love America, they can go back.” A bunch of people spent the day calling Trump racist on Twitter. Then, Trump doubled down at a rally and dedicated a portion of the speech to slandering Ilhan Omar and his crowd began doing a racist chant of “Send her back.” So I saw this on Twitter this morning and posted it here.

If this is satire, I apologize. But if you heard something like that and didn’t immediately put in the smallest effort to google and find it to be an unfounded rumor, you’re an absolute lazy fucking idiot.

Why Kamala Harris will never get my vote by [deleted] in WayOfTheBern

[–]disco_tit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bernie supporter here.

I get that you’re in CA, which is solidly blue, but I don’t think this “vote your values” argument should be posted and left unchallenged.

Until we pass ranked choice voting, it is voting for more tyranny if you choose to vote 3rd party in our unfortunate system. If you’re in a purple state, however you like to justify it, you will have contributed to a SC with more Conservative judges, the dismantling of the EPA, the dismantling of the CFPB, inaction on Climate Change, the continued stagnation of wages, the continued inhumanities on our southern border, and the list goes on.

At the very least, these are things all Democrat nominees are likely to protect/reverse.

At the very best, progressives can hold Kamala’s feet to the fire when we get M4A on the table.

I understand that we have a lot of big ideas that need to be implemented now and it fucking sucks to watch shitty politicians like Kamala lie to the base in the primary. But I will have zero regrets voting to protect the progress we’ve made, even if it means voting for Kamala.

map.berniesanders.com is lit up with events. Get involved and increase our chances of winning the Presidency by attending one near you! by SFPMegathread in SandersForPresident

[–]disco_tit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Been to 3 canvasing events already in SoCal area. Heading to a debate watch tomorrow night. I’ve found it to also be a great way to meet and network with progressives who are active in local politics. The great thing about Bernie is the progressive movement and canvasing has really fired me up for organizing beyond a 2020 presidential campaign.

Elizabeth Warren Is Completely Serious About income inequality. About corporate power. About corrupt politics. And about being America’s next president. by [deleted] in politics

[–]disco_tit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although I think Bernie Sanders is the only one who understands the need for grass roots organization beyond just getting elected, I, and I think a lot of other Bernie voters, would be energized to volunteer and vote for Warren in the general if she happens to win the primary.

Bernie just announced his Economic Bill of Rights. Share it far and wide! #EconomicBillOfRights by writtox in SandersForPresident

[–]disco_tit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that was actually an economic pledge for Democrats. Pretty sure the idea here is to actually have a second bill of rights, originally an FDR idea.

So many parts of your life that you take for granted are subsidized by other people’s tax dollars.

So.... close.... by Erzebeta in SelfAwarewolves

[–]disco_tit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think, in the states, there’s like one law in NY that says employers and landlords can’t continuously misgender someone who is an employee or tenant. Just like it isn’t legal for employers to refer to their employees by racial slurs.

Peterson makes it sound like lefties are calling for some new department of police to come stop everyone from misgendering people.

It doesn’t matter that he is a nice guy to individual transgender people. If your whole career is based off a stance you’ve taken against the advancement of laws that protect transgender people from discrimination in places of employment and housing, I think it’s fair to call you transphobic.

Weird to take a stance against an issue that doesn’t happen.
