Sure. My point wasn’t that. My point is that there are still a not insignificant amount of people that are a part of the professional/managerial class who’s material interests align with that of the ruling capitalist class of billionaires.
There is still a portion of “working” people that benefit enough from neoliberalism that they continue to believe that capitalism is a fair system that benefits hard work.
There absolutely are. There are a lot of people at the top (not even billionaires) that are making tons of money as the working class suffer.
I mean if you’re gonna reply with such little substance just don’t reply at all mate.
You know when you think someone is wrong you should probably provide evidence or reason for WHY you think that?
Just saying “wrong” is what Trump does.
If Mamdani loses the general that should be a wake up call to Americans that even the illusion of their democracy is dead. The man behind the curtain isn’t even hiding anymore.
Meaning, if Mamdani loses it is only because the full forces of the capitalist class from both of their parties were able win.
You seem to think that there is some major difference between New York and some southern town in Georgia for example. And to many degrees there are. But it’s not because the people have fundamentally different wants and goals. The people throughout this country want a good job, a place to live, healthcare, and an end to wars of the empire. The major difference between them is how their concent is manufactured.
The difference isn’t in policy or even in politics. The difference is in the ability to break through the existing lies they are distracted by. Racism, xenophobia, queerphobia, etc.
Most working class people in America will be open to progressive policies when they see them actually implemented successfully in major blue cities.
I’m not saying to run as a socialist in Savannah, GA. I’m saying that we do not give away ground. We continue to push for further leftists politicians like Mamdani where we can win. And that will literally shift the entire nations politics.
These are the only wins we can hope for in electoral politics right now. Because by the time we’re voting for another president it’s going to be to late. The fascist state will have been fully established.
Yeah. We should keep running more milk toast politicians with vague policies like “affordability” or “abundance” (I think that’s their new term for more neoliberalism now) that’ll show em!
Dude, free busses, rent control, and public grocery stores are not some “far left” policy. They are standard in much of the world.
The Democratic party is the failure that it is today BECAUSE they tried to convince you that democratic socialist policies would not win. They do. Fucking Kentucky has a publicity owned and operated Internet provider. There is nothing radical or far left about Mamdani’s policy plans.
Not really. Could be something entirely fine but requiring monthly medication. If you can’t afford that. You’re fuck.
We have people rationing insulin in this country for Christ sake.
For a lot of people in this country it’s hording. But I get what you mean.
I’m talking about the normalization of Islamphobia that followed. Racism towards Arabs in this country has reached the point of 1930s Germany and it’s antisemitism.
You not easily recognizing it isn’t your fault. But you denying it and playing defense for it is absolutely your fault. Do better.
Because he was a child. Sadly he wasn’t even given the chance to grow up and learn what the police really are.
This. People can make more in the US because the country doesn’t give a fuck about it’s people. It’s like gambling the health and wellness of you and your family to horde up some Cash.
Fuck ICE and all. But Jesus Christ the level of resistance needs to be stronger. These brown shirts need to be afraid to get out of their vans. They shouldn’t be able to get onto school grounds. Let alone piss in them.
Fuck these Nazis.
I think being born during the time of 9/11 has broken your and many Americans brains. Muslim fear mongering and racism is such a fundamental part of America that you can’t seem to recognize how insane what she said was.
So much so that a half ass “apology” like she gave is enough for you I guess.

I’ve heard people had luck with Tailscale playing nicely with non Plex options. I can’t say I’ve tried it. Though I do use Tailscale. Essentially if you setup Tailscale for Grandma it’ll be like she’s sitting on your local network. Even better, set it up on her router and you can literally debug all her Internet problems if you can ping it.
Beyond that a raspberry pi with a battery backup on a 4G subscription connected to the router. That would be the ultimate “grandma” setup. Connect her router/modem power to remote power cycle. But I digress.
For some reason I get permission errors on jellyfin every time I use it. Never with Plex. I’ve gone through the steps to fix it before. But when you change your shit as much as I do. I just stay with Plex because it’s plug and play. And I have the pass. I don’t have the time to fuck with stupid shit with jellyfin.
Plex still good for the boys that bought the lifetime pass. I understand why people would change. But it’s still the best plug and play option. Waiting until they break the “lifetime” thing and fuck us over.
Not sure about the title of this post. But I just really wish more Democrat voters would come to the realization that a lot of people didn’t vote for Trump because they liked him. They voted for him because of how absolutely ineffective the Democratic party has been.
Zohran should really be a reality check for people. The people that voted for him were not politics Andy’s like you and I. They voted for him because he had a clear message “free busses and rent freeze” is his “build the wall”.
People are looking for real promises. The biggest difference is that a rent freeze and better public transit actually will improve their lives.
If you don’t offer real improvements the masses will go for the guy with the xenophobic policy. A policy that promises to hurt “people not like me” and maybe then that will make my life better.
That’s the reasoning. Simple as.
It’s not because the masses love racism or rapists. It’s because they are so desperate for a politician that will actually represent working class interest that the first idiot billionaire with charisma was a “why not” in 2016.
In 2024 it was a complete lack of the Democratic party to capitalize on that. There are people in America thirsting for the “change” that Obama promised. They just got wise. They realized that if it’s called “change” or “abundance” it’s the same stupid shit that maintains the interest of the rich.
They want simple promises of actual material improvement that a politician can be judged on. And Zohran will be. But he’s brave enough to actually take a stand.
Edit: seriously, please don’t fall for the same neoliberalism packaged as “abundance” this time.
He’s calling you a Nazi and apparently you’re too stupid to understand that.
