Ok, I can't stand it. There is now officially, literally, no problem we are experiencing that does not have a corresponding video of Bernie Sanders warning about it and proposing a solution that would have prevented it. This country sucks.

We were willing to give the Dems the benefit of the doubt. We faced months of blackouts, slander & libel, being maligned as "bros," biased debates, the Iowa app & recount scandal, and now exit polls that are up to 4x off from vote counts. Please stay in the race.

I remember reading an article a while back about a survey of workers that showed a majority say they could complete all their daily work in 4-5 hours. And that it's actually stressful because people feel like they have to pretend to be working all the time or risk being fired.

Because this is performative virtue-signaling BS that does absolutely nothing. Deborah Messing, in particular, has been smearing progressives for months and fighting the real change we need, so she can f*ck right off. There are celebrities actually doing things - this ain't it.

I would genuinely not care even a little how rich ppl lived their lives if millions weren't living in tent cities, sleeping in cars, standing in line for hours for free food, or putting babies to bed in houses without heat. As it is, making videos like this right now is gross.
My mother lives with my family, and we've got 3 children in the house. If I go back to work, I could infect all of them and likely kill my own mother. F*ck this noise.

It totally blows my mind that a couple weeks ago scientists were like, "Hey, y'all, that Doomsday Glacier? Yeah, it's melting faster than we thought and might be gone in 5 years, at which point every city on the coast will be destroyed." And Congress had a 1/6 candlelight vigil.
@zackbeauchamp
I'll be 50 in 4 months, and it's not mysterious to me. Biden has kept all of Trump's worst policies while fulfilling exactly zero promises he made to improve people's lives. He won't even use executive power to cancel some pathetic amount of loan debt. How is this confusing?
Just FYI, when inflation was out of control under Nixon, he used presidential authority to freeze prices. Democrats would like it if you didn't even know that was an option.
@MSNBC
That's because "booming economy" is a lie for most people. Any wage gains we've seen have been wiped out by inflation. Unemployment doesn't measure people kicked off unemployment or in prison. Child poverty increased 40% in January alone. Health care is skyrocketing....1/2
Sometimes this strikes me:
Can you imagine being as close to the end of your life as Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are, and spending the precious time you have fighting against making the world a better place for the people suffering the most? This just scrambles my brain.
To anyone being told that Green is a "wasted vote," I'd just point out that if Berners hadn't wasted their votes on loser Hillary in 2016 and instead got the Greens to 20% in the general, the DNC would never have crossed us by f*cking Bernie again like they did this time.

I'm not depressed we lost one state. What I am depressed about is that Biden didn't win because he's a good candidate. He won because the media and democrat elites have been engaged in an onslaught of lies, fear-mongering, & identity politics that manipulated SC voters.

Bernie is not responsible for our votes. There is absolutely nothing Bernie could say or do to convince me to vote for Biden. Biden could potentially convince me by running Nina Turner as VP. But that would nullify the entire point of Biden, which is stopping progressive change.
Anyone who watched the entirety of the

Town Hall and today is only tweeting a clip of Jimmy Dore yelling is a dishonest fraud and a chaos agent.
The more I think about it, the more convinced I become that the voting machines were hacked. It is impossible to believe that even Americans are at the level of stupidity and complete lack of self interest required to vote Biden.
So sick of people saying we can't forgive debt because it's not fair to people who paid. I have paid thousands in loan payments. Thousands for health care. Arrested for having a $5 bag of weed. Worked min wage for yrs. That's WHY I don't want others to suffer with that crap.
No one can explain to me why, if Biden's speaking problems are due to a natural stutter, why he didn't have these problems 4 years ago. The denial about this makes me feel like I'm surrounded by crazy people.

It bothers me a lot that people are screaming about an attempted right-wing coup in the US when the new president of the US just declared the leader of a right-wing coup president of Venezuela.

I have to thank you. For radicalizing me. You were the first politician I ever really believed in. The first I donated to and volunteered for. And the biggest disappointment of my life. And you continue even now to disappoint and sell out and ruin everything. So gross.
The left needs to brace itself NOW to stand against whatever new "security" laws a "team of bipartisan" elites come up with based on yesterday. That shit is NOT meant to curtail fascism - it's preemptive protection against the populist uprising they know is coming.
What is Obama's motivation? He's super rich. He's popular. He achieved 2 terms in the highest office in the land. Why is he so committed to hurting people at this point? At the very least, he could have just stayed out of it. Is it just psychopathology? I don't get it.
My husband and I were talking about the Yemeni genocide and all the other f*cked up stuff our government does, and he said "We're all basically just like the good Germans who just kept working and allowed Hitler to do what he did." And now I can't stop thinking about that.
I've been thinking a lot about why strikes don't seem to take off in the US, and I think it's pretty clear it's because we have an almost non-existent safety net, most have no savings, we have no right to housing - in other words, many people literally can't afford to strike. 1/2

So Ro Khanna went on Rising today and admitted that it was completely illegal under both US and international law for Biden to bomb Syria. So his impeachment hearings begin, when, exactly?
I need everyone to understand something. If Biden is the nominee, he is going to run a neoliberal black woman as VP. That's your next dem nominee. So we are looking at a potential 16 - SIXTEEN!!! - years of neoliberal economics and a death sentence for the ecosystem.

Sure is a coincidence that 5 minutes after all the democratic nominees admitted on national TV that they intend to literally steal the nomination from Bernie, *suddenly* news breaks that - yep - Russia is meddling in our elections. How gullible is this country, seriously?

I'll admit they're all "smart" when it comes to advancing their own interests. But if Biden is such a policy genius, I'm not sure how he managed to make the wrong decision on virtually every major policy for 40 years straight.
If you've been telling people to get vaccinated because they "owe it to other people in society," I think you're really underestimating the psychological effect of living in a brutal society that explicitly tells citizens they don't even owe basic food and housing to each other.
