Contrary to what left-wing optimists had hoped, Democratic nonvoters in 2024 appear to have been less progressive than Democrats who voted. For instance, Democratic nonvoters were 14 points less likely to support banning assault rifles, 20 points less likely to support sending aid to Gaza, 17 points less likely to report believing that slavery and discrimination make it hard for Black Americans, 17 points more likely to support building a border wall with Mexico, 20 points more likely to support the expansion of fossil fuel production, and, sadly for economic populists, 16 points less likely to support corporate tax hikes (though this group still favored corporate tax hikes by a three to one margin). Overall, nonvoting Democrats were 18 points less likely to self-identify as “liberal” or “very liberal.” Here is a point for the centrists.

After spending months blaming actual leftists, it turns out it was just regular Democrats that were okay with giving Trump the presidency.

To be fair, death is probably a better alternative to being a cow in the dairy industry.

It should be noted that they are actively trying to bust their workers union so maybe boycott them when your local asks you to.

Good choice with the forward slash. Good choice.

Aren't those the same thing?

You've got a point. This can be a sign of something sinister. It's not necessarily a bad a sign but the situation that the previous user pointed out happens frequently enough that it could be.

I really don't get why someone would do this other than to play out some sort of sick fantasy. No one good ever destroys public utilities.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

I'm aware that's how they work but when the system "works" and the result is starving families then maybe it's time we rethink whether we should keep following this system, no?

I love that we need ironclad proof to decide whether or not it's okay for people to be able to afford sustenance or not. If there's no proof then, oh well! The poors will just have to make do.

I choose to believe the person that gave you 1 will bump into you again and say "now we're talking" before disappearing into a crowd.

The image is formatted in a tweet with image format. The caption says "handle with care" over two pictures. The first picture is of an Amazon package with "fragile" written in sharpie. The second picture is on the inside the box with a paper and the text "a middle manager's ego" on it.
