That’s where his role comes in as a public educator, make it clear that the attacks against him are just racism.

Instead he just catered to racism.

And there never will be.

Maybe the Democrats aren’t the best vehicle for progressive ideas.

The hemp ban has a one-year countdown before enforcement.

i.e. right after the midterms

So? He wants this because his donors want it, of course, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s using leverage to get what he wants.

We can’t let our enemies choose our phrasing for us.

Pretty sure it’s the material interests of the ruling class. The fossil fuel companies say we can’t do solar power, so we don’t. That’s not democratic - the opposite, actually!

One of the roles of electeds is to act as public educators - teach people why we must globalize the intifada. They have a platform and a duty to use it to raise the consciousness of workers.

You will own nothing and be happy.

He has more leverage now than he ever will, and he’s using that leverage to get what he wants.

Sure would be nice if Dems did that

My zoomer younger sister calls stuff “bougie”

Can’t you access your password manager from a web browser? Or your phone?

Yeah at that point you’re basically renting, you’ll never own your home.

Except it’s worse because you can never leave to get a job somewhere else.

I must be too stupid to communicate with you.

Yeah, you’d be risking all of your social connections if you tried it by yourself. “Don’t talk to me until you’ve read What Is To Be Done” would be a good way to not have friends. Only an organized effort would be able to socially enforce homework assignments.

Yeah sounds like it would work pretty well since floss is definitely stronger than thread, I just never thought of it.

“How do we get people to do their homework?” They don’t really think it’s posh and only for rich white college students, they just don’t feel like reading. It takes time, it’s work, and there’s better things to do.

I was calling myself a leftist a decade before I finally started reading theory; ultimately it was the pandemic that forced me to read because I was bored. I kept up the habit after that.

The only idea I have is to ground them until they do their homework. “No investigation, no right to speak” but applied socially.

How is Keir Starmer supposed to piss when all these flags are making him rock hard?

I do believe in fairies!

Are you under the impression that democracy is the thing holding the West back from a green transition?

Wait that’s not “boot time” that’s literally just work lol
