Your comment is a bit misleading. Part of the point of why we need to raise the top marginal tax rate to 100% above $250,000 is because the accumulation of wealth is itself a threat to liberty and democracy. The New Deal was designed to save capitalism—the grand irony being that capitalists are so greedy they can’t even live with less in order to simply exist.

So yes, we need to raise all sorts of tax rates to previous levels and even higher when possible, no question. We just need to understand that these are guardrails on the way to socialism in order to have real freedom and democracy after capitalism is fully abolished.

I was just hoping that he talked about the important part—the bombing—in addition to the unimportant part—the text message.

I agree that you being a moron is me being a troll.

That wasn’t a gotcha, dumbfuck. I was curious because I usually like Jon Stewart and hoped he’d mentioned it in addition to this nonsense.

But if you think that pointing out the wrong locus of outrage is being an enemy, you are making Republicans seem intelligent to you by comparison and you don’t belong in a free society.

An alias is tantamount to a button click. That’s why this whole thing is so stupid.

I can’t get the link to load. Did Stewart criticize the decision to bomb Yemen?

I almost always do double cook time and 50% power.

He does deserve empathy. That means he deserves a speedy trial, no torture, reasonable accommodations, a sentence that fits his crimes and is not primarily punitive, minimally restrictive confinement, a break every few hours from mandatory labor (building public transit, for example), and a non life sentence.

Why did I think this site was gonna be better than reddit? Yikes.

Who did the unnecessary censorship?

How would this help house homeless people?

Which other site? Twitter?

That’s so funny that millennials cringe at zoomers, because I have always found millennials to be infinitely more cringe than zoomers have ever been.

There’s a little baby Tacoma in my garage and I want it so bad! My favorite truck.

This is exactly right. I don’t think AOC has compromised as much as we think she has, but the institutional power is very real. I remember what things were like in 2016 too. They fought against Bernie’s influence at every step, and colluded to get their favorite candidate elected.

All we have to do is look at the most recent Third Way strategy document to understand. The right wing Democrats (“centrists”) would rather lose to Donald Trump with Harris than win with Sanders or any halfway progressive. It’s just a huge obstacle and if we do try to fix the party, we need to dislodge ALL of the entrenched right wing elements.

Pretty soon we won’t be able to trust BLS data, which is frightening.

She was ahead by a wide margin until AIPAC threw its weight behind some traitor and that was that. AIPAC needs to be abolished.

There is a way to circumvent the checker. I can’t remember what we did. It was like disable TPM maybe? If folks want to install W11 on their old computer.

At the liberry!

Holy crap, it’s real!
