Good, party’s at my place.

The problem runs a lot deeper than who’s running, but if the DNC was the kind of party that would let someone like Walz run for president then yeah Trump wouldn’t be president.

I’d like to point out that can actually play your system by building voting blocs to defend your interests.

But then they might have to say mean things to liberal proto-fascists and that might lead to the creation of the fourth Reich (ignore the Nazis in government those don’t count).

Wow, that was fast.

I feel I’m getting repetitive with this, but this has always been the case. This latest escapade is basically Iraq but with a veneer of Libya.

Why do you expect the military leaders of the most utterly reprehensible empire of our times, which has killed millions, displaced tens of millions and condemned hundreds of millions to poverty within living memory, to have a conscience? These people are gangsers for capitalism, and capitalism has spoken; the law is secondary.

Here’s the thing though: By that definition what you label as progressive liberals (socially liberal fiscally conservative people) basically don’t exist as a political force, partially because this philosophy wouldn’t be able to address the issues it claims to champion in any meaningful sense. The gender gap for example is as much an economic problem as it is a social one, and you can’t even think about systemic racism without also getting into poverty and the impact of slavery. You have classical/neoliberals and to the left of them social democrats/progressives; there’s no real niche for combining the social policies of one and the economic policies of the other.

As for social democrats, they’re better categorized as left wing of liberalism rather than their own thing. Sure they want the capitalist status quo to be nicer, but they’ll close ranks with their neoliberal cousins to defend it no matter how much they dislike it.

Wait, why is there a dangerous polio vaccine?

I mean to be fair self-proclaimed democratic socialists do tend to just be left-leaning liberals (also known as social democrats) with a coat of paint. Mamdani is saying and doing good things, but nothing I’ve heard from him makes me believe he wants to seize the means of production.

It always did; the West was just slow on the uptake.

Not even a mammal.

Kid named steam engine:

It’s not clear. There are two IS groups in Nigeria, Boko Haram and IS-West Africa Province. The former are the murderous rapist scum, the latter still scummy but the more respectable of the two. Either way it doesn’t matter because imperialism is bad, but the memo doesn’t specify which one he’s talking about.

Why specifically August 19 2031?

Remigration plot twist.

Fair enough.

Hey, speak for yourself, some people actually like them for it (mainly those with a neglection fetish).
