Biden is withdrawing his broader student-loan-forgiveness plans that were set to cancel debt for over 38 million borrowers
  • Of course he is. Take some of your most popular, and arguably most effective, policies and just stop doing them.

    Oh wait, those help normal Americans. That's right, we don't do that here.

  • How many times do story rich games have to succeed before executives pull their heads out their collective ass and realize that there's 100% a market for them?

  • After Trump wins the ‘influencer election’, why some Democrats want to create their own Joe Rogan
  • This. The Dems are doing literally anything they can to avoid blaming their messaging.

  • Forest of trees
  • Support for Russia's genocidal invasion of Ukraine in no way supports anti-US hegemony stances. They're literally stealing children and indoctrinating them-the same thing the US did while committing genocide against the First Peoples.

    Just opposing the US doesn't make Russia the good guys.

  • Matt Gaetz ethics report released to more members of Congress
  • I disagree. I don't think accelerationism is the answer. But given how fucked everything is, I also don't have a better one...

  • Matt Gaetz ethics report released to more members of Congress
  • I think there were two different investigations. I suspect the ethics committee one has fewer hurdles to overcome in order to make it public. (Don't quote me on that—I may be mistaken)

  • Forest of trees
  • As I said in another comment, Tankies are often in support of the modern Russian state and the modern CCP. These are not positions that are "left of the DNC".

  • Forest of trees
  • That's not entirely accurate. I'm sure some use it that way, but it's not "left of the DNC" to support the modern Russian state and its actions, which is the problem most people have with Tankies.

  • There is just no bottom to the ignorance and the danger people have put themselves and their loved ones in...
  • You're not wrong, but I'm saying it's an additional step for folks to take. And why would they when everything they're seeing is confirming their beliefs?

    It's definitely a problem of media illiteracy.

  • There is just no bottom to the ignorance and the danger people have put themselves and their loved ones in...
  • It's the social media algorithms, man. Folks think that what they're being fed is reality, so they never double check the information being given to them.

    Full disclosure, I'm just as guilty. For months I had built up this whole narrative about private equity buying up all the houses and causing the current housing crisis. Apparently, private equity only accounts for like 10% of home ownership, and the reality is that we just don't build enough housing. The issue is the same (and honestly I wouldn't be surprised to find out that private equity is still at the heart of it somehow), but I allowed the algorithm to show me inaccurate info, and I bought it—hook, line, and sinker.

  • Harris concedes 2024 presidential race in call to Trump

    Maybe Harris shouldn't have adopted his platform then.

  • Party on, Two-Party System
  • Pushing for third party votes days before the election isn't the way. You've got to mobilize during the rest of the year, make moves in more local races, etc.
