Boomers would have us all living in the streets so they could get a few hundred more dollars per month in social security benefits, and then call anyone who asked for help a welfare queen
89% of senior citizens support raising taxes on younger workers to maintain their benefits. The median primary voter is 65.

It’s so infuriating that boomers could have afforded to own a house and save enough for retirement to all be millionaires by now on a below average salary, but they still want to squeeze every last penny out of this country for themselves

Hillary Clinton said former President Joe Biden made a “terrible mistake” by running for reelection in 2024, arguing another Democratic nominee would have defeated President Trump had the party held a competitive primary. “He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy and for the country,” Clinton said. “... I think it was a terrible miscalculation on the part of President Biden.”

*Gasp* The ML org is authoritarian and sabotages organizing efforts? Who could have expected that?!
A major split is shaking the Party for Socialism and Liberation. After years in the PSL leadership, Walter Smolarek has resigned and published a devastating tell-all letter alleging internal authoritarianism, sabotage of local organizing efforts, and even the development of an AI-powered system to monitor members. More than an exposé, his letter argues the PSL's entire political model has reached a dead end. The question Gigi G. poses is: can they break the cycle of splits, or are they destined to forever be just another microparty? READ: geesemag.com/articles/psls-t…

By 1921 Lenin banned factions within the communist party and carried out military crack downs on dissenting left-wing groups. The USSR was already irredeemable by the time it because official in 1922.
Yes the USSR was good (1917-1926)

I feel similarly about this to how I feel about vapes being advertised as a way to stop smoking…it may work for a few people, but it will just cause addiction in many others
Viral ‘dopamine sites’ are letting users shop without actually spending money The sites feature nonexistent products, reviews, and promotions, and let users checkout and track their “courier” all without actually buying anything

Becerra winning proves that this country is just done. No one votes and those who do vote for the corporate shill. No one organizes outside of elections. Things just keep getting worse. Damn it, man…

Voting for Becerra because you “can’t vote for a billionaire” is so lazy, man. How is being funded by Chevron, Kalshi, McDonalds, and every other huge cooperation morally better??? Don’t piss me off
