That's why liberals don't try. Liberal politicians don't try because it benefits their lifestyle

I've said that a few times recently. Surprised that didn't get me popped. I got a reddit cares message right before the ban and I assume it was courtesy of the whiny little shit I was stringing along.

Ehh, whatever. Back to reading actual books. Bating libs is distracting and not enriching unless you're doing it casually, like on the toilet or something.

Polls are only real if they're in favor of Biden maybe-later-kiddo

It's crazy that the old joke of "if democrats found a magic lamp and got three wishes, they would bargain down to one, and use it on something republicans want" has needed updating.

I don't know what's worse. The drive by glibness or the verbose "smarter than you" adult in the room shit

This is one of those radicalizing things I came across as a teen. I remember it went something like this:

"Charities are a good thing.."

"Why don't charities ever seem to solve problems?"

"Why do charities need to exist? Don't we pay taxes for this kind of thing?"

"Ohhhhh! They're pocketing the bulk of the money, and using the clout to get courtside seats at basketball games under the guise of 'awareness'?"

Even the most well meaning charity or mutual aid is still a band aid. Don't get me wrong, feeding, clothing and sheltering people is never bad. Grifting the families of cancer patients is. Looking at you, Susan Komen foundation

I was thinking about this today in the sense that there are so many leftist podcasts, but you can't name a single leftist leader who comes from that sphere, and is organizing on a big scale. The best ones that I'm aware of are the Trillbillies. They at least walk the walk with community outreach. They even took time off from the show during that big flood to help people out.

The rest of them do what? Come up with an hour and a half of glib reactions to the news every week?

Here are people that a lot of us on the left have parasocial relationships with. The least they could do is some sort of Jon Stewart lib ass rally for sanity. Instead most of them sell expensive tickets to bougie ass venues so we can listen to them fart into a microphone

I love how they decided this is a "single issue voooting" thing. Even if there weren't other reasons to hate Biden, that would still be ok because genocide is an obvious red line that most people don't have a problem crossing.

But somehow we're the tankies?

Pretty fun how the anti war crowd are tankies, but the people advocating for sending actual tanks to the conflict du jour are not tankies.

I had someone argue the other day that Biden didn't start two new wars because there aren't boots on the ground.

A: we don't know that.

B: why are there two new wars being financed with our money?

If boots were on the ground, they would just find some other reason why it's not a war. I wish saving all of their comments to "this you?" them later when trump is president and they are suddenly against all the stuff they're for was a worthwhile endeavor

Sorry, not trying to be a doomer. It's just hard to understand where we can go next when every avenue of expression seems like a dead end of vapid takes that get more attention than anything real and meaningful.
