  • Happy rule day

  • We need to grow our numbers! The only way we can do that is with continued non-violent organized protest. Violence will only reduce our numbers and suppress our resistance.

    Erica Chenoweth has a very well researched presentation on the success of non-violent resistance overthrowing dictatorships with only 3.5% of the population. I highly recommend it.

    Come out today for the Free America protest! We also have the Good Trouble Lives On protest on July 17th.

  • Neolibs are the ones who pushed Harris to capture the conservative vote.

    We’re finally starting the age of the progressives.

  • Do any of you have this urge?

    Jump

  • Absolutely. I often say I have terminal insatiable curiosity. It will be quelled when I am room temperature.

  • It can’t have been proven without participation. Congressional primaries haven’t seen more than 15% attendance in over 40 years. We’ve been allowing retirees from the Silent Generation and now Boomers to decide our candidates. Gen X and younger need to actively participate in primaries and attempt to take the party over before we can actually say we’ve proven anything.

  • 100%. There are primaries all the time. The only difference with Zohran is we showed up.

  • That doesn’t matter at all. He won the primary with a grassroots campaign, so he doesn’t need their funding. Being in the blue/Working Families column will win the know-nothing vote in NYC.

    The key is for us to seek out the progressive on the primary ballot and vote. We shouldn’t be rewarding the candidates that have the financial means to find us in our living rooms. Sign up for mailers if you forget to vote. Sign up for mail-in ballots if you have an irregular schedule.

  • That depends entirely on who we vote for in the primaries.

    See: Zohran Mamdani for an example

  • People who are MENSA members, are there benefits? Do you get discounts on anything? I'll never qualify, so I gotta ask.

  • The balance of security and privacy sounds weird when privacy IS security.

  • They can be exclusive too. If you run a public server in your DMZ, but keep your personal information behind your firewall, the public server is not secure but you are still practicing good privacy.

    Isn't this racism?

    Jump

  • If anything, it would be nationalist. Neither Afghani nor American are races.

  • Most new vehicles have cellular capability as well as AM/FM.

  • Vote blue no matter who!

    Jump

  • Not a lib, and clearly they didn’t understand because their response was all about Russia and not about Stein.

  • Vote blue no matter who!

    Jump

  • You misunderstand. Our problem is our woefully uneducated population is inundated with misinformation on how our system works and propaganda to keep them too afraid to learn.

    In case my metaphor was too elusive for you, I was referring to Jill Stein. She only shows up as a spoiler candidate every four years, never runs for any other government office, and has a long history of meetings and dinners with Putin.

  • Vote blue no matter who!

  • Better off voting for the Russian boat that only comes out for a month every four years.

  • I got that over IRC in the late 90s. It’s over 25 years old.

  • Have some civility.

  • Of course. The problem you’re not willing to accept is there was no way to vote that would effectively stop the US from providing Israel with aid. You wasted your chance to stop fascism and minimize the horrors in Palestine so you could say you’re morally superior, and now the West Bank is being turned into a billionaire resort while the US descends into fascism. Great job. I’m sure the Palestinians appreciate your idealism at their expense.

  • Do you deflect responsibility with everything you do in life, or just when you engage people online?

  • Have some civility.

    Jump

  • That’s true. Everyone knows the Holocaust was the fault of the Communist Party for not being more compelling in 1932.

  • Have some civility.

    Jump

  • That’s absolutely correct. The worst possible fucking time to try and kill a party was when it was the only option other than a fascist dictatorship. Your argument could not be more tone deaf.
