“Expand Obamacare” is code for “protect insurance company profits and employers' power over the lives of their employees". Jaime Harrison is NOT your friend even if he might be a better option than his Republican opponent.
Thats cool and it’s perfectly fine to be stoked that all these racist statues are coming down but lets not mistake this for progress. Progress means changing policies. Progress means redistribution of power from the top down instead of from the bottom up. Power will concede on these symbolic issues first as a way of di…
I think you're being naive to give this corporate-funded politician the benefit of the doubt. Police are the only social service that doesn't get cut because they protect the rich from the rest of us. There was anti- corporate challenger who ran against Whitmer though...maybe he'll run again next time.
Nancy Pelosi is not a good ally. Listen to first 20 minutes of this podcast episode to get some insights on why: https://majorityreportradio.com/2020/06/05/6-5-insurgent-friday-w-shahid-buttar

Maybe cancel culture is stupid in-and-of-itself. Ever read "exiting the vampire castle"?
Better question is why hasn't anybody figured out how to manipulate these angry white men into hating people that actually deserve it (Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, etc).
The best part of Game of Thrones is actually the fan-theory videos that cross-reference what happens in the books against stuff the guy wrote earlier in his career to assert that everything you *thought* you knew about the story was actually a clever lie.
Are you saying The Root serves the interests of capitalists?
Well his neoliberal ass definitely wouldn’t list Napoleon the Legend or Boots Riley from The Coup. Definitely not Dead Prez or The Roots
Jay-Z has always been a scumbag capitalist. Being a talented rapper doesn't make up for having bad ideology.

Maybe stay here and keep trying to make it better? If you feel like you can’t change the system, maybe you can at least change the experiences of a few people in your orbit for the better.
Marie Curie had to share her Nobel prize win with her husband despite the fact that he made virtually no contribution to the research in question. Just saying.
