Yes we absolutely need plenty of immigration. The American population has been below replacement on birth rates since the 1970s. With the Boomers going down it’s going to hit the fan real soon but all they want to do is restrict immigrants.

The 4th estate is a wholly owned subsidiary of fascist inc these days. And facts don’t sell. Just rage.

They’re keeping their powder dry when they all swing hard right for the most consequential ruling. So everyone can say but look we were reasonable on all these other things that wouldn’t have ever really impacted you.

Check the candidate debate. It was a clown show. Not the moderators though. They were kings. But the candidates all were fucking clown shoes. Apart from the token that seemed sincere but wouldn’t fly with the racist base. Somehow Bobo seriously came out looking the better of the group while still being visually white enough. Had it been a skit on veep or some other show it would have been hilarious. I just hope the democrat candidate can win against her this time. They got close last time.

Bowman was the better candidate. No doubt. But he isn’t without fault. Many in the district had legitimate complaints about his focus. Not even pertaining to Israel. It’s a shame so many people when feeling let down by representation can gravitate to worse candidates. Simply because they’re someone else. And not a better candidate.

Only if constant growth and expansion of capital IE capitalism is your goal. If it’s a job you simply enjoy or people you enjoy working with Etc there may not be room for advancement. But why would you want to? Granted many people do not have that. They’re wage slaves for capitalists. Point is the whole concept of a dead-end job is inherently a capitalist thing. If a job takes care of your needs and is Pleasant enough. Who cares if there’s room for advancement.

Only as a final solution.

Since when has AIPAC == Democrats? They fund Zionists regardless of party affiliation.

That could just be down to the author and their aptitude. Lot of people writing field guides aren’t exactly scientifically minded or trained. Because fungus really are kind of anti plants in many ways. It’s sort of like the distinction between fruits and vegetable for tomatoes. For most people tomatoes have always been and will always be vegetables. Despite having long been classified scientifically as a fruit. And pineapples are berries.

I went to college in the '90s. Fungi being classified as plants is new to me. Though perhaps it is part of some Mandela effect or misremembering on my part. But it is inarguable that we’ve learned tons more over the last 20 to 30 years about them.

That would be more along the lines of what’s the difference between Joy Division and new order. One dead body. Rip Ian.

Or what’s a Goth’s default mode? Depeche.

All those dark entries. Must be growing in them thar hollow hills. Best go tell telegram sam, because nobody wants to kick in the eye.

I dunno, Italian spiderman had a decent take

No one is forced to run. That’s the point. You can only vote for the choices you’re given. Not the choices you’re not. That’s the point. If you want better options better choices. Force yourself to run. We always have choice, we always have agency. Even if you choose not to vote. It’s generally the worst thing you can do. But it’s still a choice. And if you don’t believe me just listen to the band Rush.

The first thing Just quickly off the top of my head Period the consumer Financial Protection Bureau was her baby.

The fact that Warren herself is a former republican. I disagree with her on a ton of shit. But I still have to respect her for some of the things she’s done. I think she’s wrong and misguided. But she definitely tries to do good/help in her eyes. And the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is absolutely a good thing.

Considering it was mainstream and prescient enough for that lunatic Barry Goldwater and others to address it specifically. Many decades before Reagan was President. I think it’s very unlikely he did anything other than harness them. That particular Cult of stupidness had been cultivated for nearly half a century at that point.

They’re definitely was a lot of overlap on interests. But that doesn’t automatically equate to siphoned off votes. There were a not insignificant number of people who were direct fans of things Warren has pushed for and accomplished. That would not automatically have translated over to sanders. We can speculate that a large number would. But as stated that would be speculation. We could speculate as to why Warren didn’t drop out. But again that would be speculation. However I don’t think that she had anything to gain or owed any allegiance to party leadership to just stay in as a spoiler. Far more likely it was just good old wishful thinking and hubris on her part. It could happen to any of us.

I generally agree with you on everything but the getting fucked part. That implies that Sanders was unaware or unprepared for what happened. If there were those of us outside politics who could see and understood what was going to happen. Which there were a lot of us. I don’t think Sanders is that young naive or inexperienced. If anything I have a feeling it went better than he expected it would.

The man went up against the core of party leadership and the candidate they desired. And while he didn’t win outright. He came out more powerful than he went in. If success is getting fucked Perhaps we should all get fucked.

John Birch society predates Regan by decades. Perhaps Regan mainstreamed it. But even that’s debatable.

It really was the strategy that will pay off for generations to come. Fascists by is simply temporarily acting friendly to Sanders managed to drive a wedge between Democrats and the left. That even the candidate himself doesn’t feel exists because of his continued association with the party. All these people will make sure that the Democrats and by extension the candidate they supported won’t have their support or power to do the things their candidate wanted to do. Talk about self-destructing.

As an anarchist Lefty type I have no love for status quo or establishments democrats. But I have to still pragmatically acknowledge that the only way to fix or improve things is through them. Or at least by replacing them from the inside out.
