@Aella_Girl Dad joke from the 1960s: Do you know they now have Playboy for Married Men? It's like the regular Playboy but every month you get the same photos.

NEW YORK CITY: I will be joining a rally on Sunday to demand that, at a time of record income and wealth inequality, corporations and the wealthiest people in this country start paying their fair share in taxes.
I hope you'll join us. dsa.nyc/BernieTTR

Got vaxxed Jan 2021. Large bruises on my right leg which needed minor surgery. Brain fog, arm pain for a year. Got minor heart disease. Suddenly realized the vax was the only time before or since when I received medication without warning about side effects. Pfizer shots. This was in a small Alaskan town, several elders died after getting the shot, too. Not an antivaxxer by any means but the mass hysteria surrounding the pandemic was awful to witness, and I'm ashamed to say it swept me up into it, too. Wife, son, no side effects, but I felt like I aged a decade afterwards. I was a guinea pig for an untested vaccine.

@SenAmyKlobuchar I lived in the Alaska bush, in a small village, for 25 years. Murkowski is full of sh*t. If there's a problem with registration in the bush - which there isn't - then she should address that specific problem. Murkowski has a political machine she wants to maintain. That's all.

@PramilaJayapal This can't be true. I was told that Obamacare (ACA) fixed the problem of uninsured people needing medical care.

@SenWarren You're complaining about someone being an Indian giver.

@wittyretorthere @TheTNHoller @AntiToxicPeople Yep, saw that when someone else posted it. The commission said it was problematic if it wasn't strictly regulated and allowed things like ballot harvesting.

English

@a43767796 @TheTNHoller @AntiToxicPeople True, however a little over a decade later the Carter Center released a follow up that the concerns from 2005 had been mostly addressed, and people who point this out always seem to forget it the report also praised Oregan as an almost completely mail in voting state. Nuance huh?
English

A) This is a lie. Other countries have it.
B) Trump uses it regularly.
Bottom line: They are afraid of you voting.

Trump: No mail-in ballots. No mail-in ballots. We are the only country that has mail-in ballots.

Wouldn’t the same lesson apply to the tsarist kingdom preceding the Bolshevik revolution? And yet they were overthrown. The Bolsheviks were not plucked chickens.
This is a too cute story of how communism brainwashes people.
All authoritarian systems that wind up immiserating the population entrench power through a bait and switch. In no way is that unique to left-wing ideologies
English

One of the side effects of well-meaning progressive policies was creating a system where everyone is constantly lying to get ahead.
Lying about your fake 1/64th Native American identity to get into college, about your fake disability so you can have a dog in your dorm, about your sick grandma so you can get out of midterms, about the token representation on your "diverse" board, about your "joint venture" with a black-owned business so you can get a government contract, about your fake daycare, about your "home office" so you can get a tax writeoff, about your kid's ADHD so they get extra time, and on and on.
The progressive instinct is that everything should be heavily regulated (to make it safe / fair), but also that we should have tremendous leniency for people in hardship. And then there's this bull-headed resistance to the idea that people might be cheating, because you're worried about unfairly excluding someone legitimate.
These are well-intentioned instincts, but they result in really high returns to cheating. And then people cheat, and the instinctually honest people look around and say, "wait am I a sucker?"
No small part of U.S. success over the generations was social trust, a system where most people felt like working hard and being honest was the way to get ahead. If that continues to erode, it will be catastrophic. Obviously there are many factors and groups to blame, but progressives have been running the institutions for a generation and need to recognize how damaging this combination of over-regulation + leniency has been.
At elite colleges, students are *surrounded* by people cheating the system in small ways, getting away with it, and getting ahead. It's incredibly toxic and will make them all a little less trusting and a little less honest for their whole careers.
This is part of why elite students these days want to get private equity jobs instead of starting social enterprises. They're learning early that everyone is looking out for only themselves and you're a fool if you do otherwise.

@a43767796 @paulnovosad How would destroying society lead them to gaining power? That would require shifting the blame for the destruction onto some other scapegoat.
But at least half the country already doesn’t trust progressives to govern competently!
English

@jbraunstein914 @paulnovosad But to answer your question, look up the probably apocryphal story of Stalin with the chicken whose feathers were plucked.
English

@jbraunstein914 @paulnovosad I don't understand it personally, but the writing from Marxists throughout the century, as well as the way it was applied by the Bolsheviks, Red Guards, Pol Pot indicate a policy of societal fragmentation and destruction to maintain power.

@AntiCommieBecca Just off my head, post-high school trajectories for girls in very conservative families:
medical doctors
lawyers
a dentist
several medical technicians
wildlife biologist
law enforcement
several teachers
business owners
You believe what you want, I see what's in front of me.
English

You know this is true of religious people.
And you know many super conservative families do not encourage their daughters to go to college or get a career.
This is Third World thinking, and it leads to leftists dominating education and culture, which is proven to be a huge problem.
We need conservative intellectuals.
English

One thing that’s concerning me a lot about right wingers is they seem to be developing a 3rd world cultural mindset.
Don’t go to college. Don’t have a lot of ambition. Don’t try really hard. Very young girls should be getting impregnated by much older men etc.
And the problem with this mindset is that it leads to becoming the 3rd world.
Conservatives don’t want to import the 3rd world but they have no problem with becoming it.
Unfortunately, the supposed elites on the left have gone nuts.
So you have retards on the right and crazy people on the left.
What are we to do? 😒

@Amy_Siskind This explains why Dems succeed where Republicans fail. Dems would use this to smear the opposition as fascists and Nazis, make claims insulting the people of New Mexico as bigots or something, stay in the news with multiple accusations. The GOP? Not a word.

English

BREAKING: For the first time in modern history, the Republican Party will not be able to field a candidate in the New Mexico Senate race, after all of their potential candidates were disqualified.
Incumbent Democratic Senator Ben Ray Luján is set to run unopposed, in a state that Harris won by six points.
