That company stuff is weird, especially how she’s apparently not just paying the tax debt on it. She also says she’s contested it but for some reason there’s no public cases whatsoever to look at.
You do speak to something overall I can concede, when I’m retrospecting with the sentence that she punches left, I think I have to give you that she could’ve had a way way bigger progressive part of the tent if she wanted to, especially with the disregarding of Gaza.
🙌 fuck. that’s my bad
Bernie and Warren were definitely contributers to making Biden move on minimum wage,
but everyone who actually remembers when the Democrats had the majority knows better than that
the democrats did not have the overwhelming majority (60) that can surpass a filibuster, and yeah, the big-tentism hurts to an extent with more conservative democrats, but the states they come from don’t have a lot of alternatives in terms of what type of politician is going to get voted.
Democrats have the power to stop Trump right now, which they’re failing to do
Trump is engaging in a lot of bypassing that the judicial branch should be taking care of, but the judicial branch is compromised. They could in theory prevent bills that require overwhelming majorities yes.
They can and should protest it, but a lot of it is on the judicial branch saying no and reversing demands by the executive branch
My personal recollection is that while she defended Israel as a victim, she still said that she would work to stop what was happening in Gaza and specifically didn’t want to provide further arms to Israel
You know what, fair enough, America is a little too cooked on the national level and the national issues that involves (and significantly overcooked internationally), though I never meant to communicate you should just say pwease and twank you democwats if thats what it comes off as as well,
The AOC thing though, it feels highly selective with its points,
Ted Kennedy co-wrote NCLB but there isn’t really malice you can imply in him, especially when he’d been pushing for UBI since the 60s, it more seems like naïve One Size Fits All ism and thinking that Bush would follow through with funds when he promised to. He was also a rare from-the-start Iraq War opposer, and was also hoping for Obama to be the change many others hoped, even pushing Obama to put universal health care as a top priority.
The article doesn’t really disprove her working-class status, and her work with the non-profits mentioned show a clear interest in working with her local communities to make both their stories known and education better.
She also didn’t come out of nowhere, she came from her mostly-working-class district, seeing that her district was taken by someone who did not reflect their constituents and worked that opportunity in her favor. At that point, everyone comes out of nowhere. Doesn’t it make more sense that the left being starved of strong political figures to represent our cause herald the young working-class woman for being loud against injustices?
She’s also a huge part of why Build Back Better, COVID relief, PACT act, actually pushes for a lot of the good things they do, even though she wanted more. It’s not like she afks for 2 or 4 years.
Also, where’s the part about mysterious funding? I don’t think I caught that in the article
e: yeah i flipflop
I empathize a bit, but it’s not like democrats haven’t been getting more leftward either.
The truth is though that ultimately, politicians are gonna be malleable to those who are going to vote, both because of the very simple “if I focus here, I will be more likely to get the most votes while providing due change”, but also because the idea of democracy is based in the trust that publics will emerge to voice their concerns to the politicians.
Most politicians are just not online enough to gather the discourse that we would be experiencing, and also there’s the whole issue of not knowing how much of it is foreign interference in a trench-suit pretending to be the voices of the locals. That’s why direct calls to voicing these concerns to local politicians, and being willing to hear them out as much as they hear you out matters a lot. Some do forget over the years, but a lot join politics because they genuinely want to make life better.
My parents had some of the ancient ubuntu (or ubuntu based?) distros that they let me play with, I myself tried Manjaro in 2017 for a month (very scuffed back then), and then full Arch Linux since March or Apr 2021
Haven’t bothered switching since, but if I did, I’m lightly curious on the NixOS hype. Why yes, I just installed Arch Linux for the archbtw, but also it feels like it just works for me at this point (yknow, till the next fuckup akin to the grub2 fiasco)
