Traitors gonna trait.

Fair enough then, enjoy.

That’s your logic? Goddamn.

First of all, define “being”.
Then define “real”.
And lastly, define “it”.

It seems like you might have skipped a few steps.

That fucker high. Probably banged his coconut on the way down to one of his surprise naps again.

There was never any need for any rocket science. Stop Oil, move to renewables, go vegetarianish. We have all of that now. We’ve had most of it for decades.

Just keep him in the hot tub. Let nature take its course.

Hey let’s all change what we do and how we do it to accommodate the monopoly Microsoft. Again.

First off, I don’t know what MPREG is and I don’t want to AAAAAIIIIGGH I DON’T WANT TO KN-goddammit.

Public speaking is a performance and like any performance some people are good at it and some become good at it and some aren’t really good at it.

Yep. Meet The RepubliQans, where Nazi views are A-OK!

Sen. Bernie Sanders, who strongly backed Platner earlier this month, said the revelations about Platner do not impact his endorsement.

“He went through a dark period,” Sanders told reporters on Tuesday. “He has apologized for the stupid remarks, the hurtful remarks that he made, and I’m confident that he’s going to run a great campaign and that he’s going to win.”

Vermont Sen. Peter Welch also told NOTUS on Tuesday that he is confident “Mainers will figure it out.”

Cynthia Phinney, president of the Maine AFL-CIO, said she had not seen reports about Platner’s tattoo and the controversy surrounding it. But she made clear she thought the negative news about Platner was a result of meddling from the national Democratic Party.

“I’m disappointed with the apparent engagement of the national party in our state primary the way this is coming out,” Phinney said.

Phinney said that she didn’t have proof that the national party was behind the emergence of a series of damaging news stories about his campaign but that she thought the “mudslinging” was unhelpful regardless of its source.

“I don’t think this is adding to the quality of what people are getting to think about in the campaign,” she said. “The important thing to me is to replace Suan Collins.”

When asked about the reports, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer threw his weight behind Mills’ campaign.

“We think that Janet Mills is the best candidate to retire Susan Collins. She’s a tested two-term governor and the people of Maine have an enormous amount of affection and respect for her,” he said, adding: “I’ll let the people of Maine decide.”

What

It’s the rubbing-your-hands part. If you do it right you get the wet under the air in frequent enough intervals that your hands get pretty dry.

Dry enough that they’d finish on their own in the next 60 seconds. But since I’m out the door by then I’ve already wiped the rest on my shirt.

To leftists, liberalism, even progressive liberalism, can never address the material concerns for workers, inequal accumulation, and capitalism’s contradictions because it cannot attack the central tenet of its ideology: the private ownership of land and resources.To leftists, liberalism, even progressive liberalism, can never address the material concerns for workers, inequal accumulation, and capitalism’s contradictions because it cannot attack the central tenet of its ideology: the private ownership of land and resources.

Well put, and yes I’d agree. Where I seem to draw the ire of leftists is when I point to the clock and say we have one year before we have to vote, and all things being equal we’re going to vote for the Democrats because attacking the central tenet of this country’s dominant ideology is not going to happen in this election cycle.

The 2024 Presidential election threads were a depressing reminder that some leftists can’t get out of their heads, or ivory towers, or whatever to make incremental progress because the glorious revolution is at hand. Or something. So I get to be the evil liberal who wants healthcare for all, student loan forgiveness, and a Green New Deal. And all of those things go down the shitter because republiQans vote as a single juggernaut bloc and we don’t.

Lemmy has been enlightening in teaching me these things but yes - different!

I have a little knowledge there, but I’m good, thanks. I’m really more interested in defeating the republiQan hate machine so we can get people healthcare and save the environment.

Not that it’s not interesting - I just have a slightly different take than Marx because Marx didn’t live in 2025.

Hm. Well, that’s interesting.

That’s pretty much every liberal I know, yeah.

Well. I know some house painters I guess. They don’t work for someone else, per se.

Mmm hmmm. Yeah. Yes.

So an American proletariat is . . . Anyone who is limited by health insurance, student loans, and mortgage rates? Or is it something else?

We don’t really use the word proletariat, uh, at all. Ever.
