Why are the polls misleading/irrelevant?

Whenever people talk about the need to “unify”, you gotta ask “...in order to do WHAT?” Are we uniting to dismantle mass incarceration? Are we coming together to enact universal healthcare? Are we combining forces to fight climate change? The goal determines who CAN unify because it also defines the ENEMY

Its a recurring theme with his cabinet picks: lots of women and people of color who also have a track record of supporting corporatism, militarism and other forms of class warfare. Biden’s betting that most Democrats care more about diversity hires and representation than they do about actual policy outcomes or the…

He’s on the board of Raytheon. Do you really need to hear his answers to those questions to know what he'll do in office?

He ain’t no sacrificial lamb; dude is on thr board of Raytheon. He’s been picked to make Democrats reluctant to criticise him because of the progress he represents despite the fact that he has a clear financial interest in keeping military spending high and dropping lots of bombs on black and brown people around the…

Nah, Gen. Lloyd Austin is in the board of Raytheon. Republicans know that he’ll use this position to keep arm sales high and that means more money for their donors as well as more dead black-and-brown people; it's a win-win from their perspective.

Maybe LA could sell off some of the cops fancy toys. They could definitely raise taxes on the rich.

Yes; political operatives mess with peoples minds. But if you’re serious about building a better world, learning how to overcome the brainwashing and conditioned polarization is a MUST. This shit is bigger than just elections

Maybe try talking to them with genuine empathy and curiosity instead of condescension? It’s a lot easier to get right-wingers on your side if you prioritize making them feel valued and heard while emphasizing shared values/interests. That’s what they call "organizing"

I thought Chic Fill A used to be homophobic. Didn’t know they were racist... Their food is really good though so they need to have done something REALLY racist for me to boycott

Maybe we just don’t need so many fucking cops in the first place. 

Neera Tandem has advocated invading a country and stealing their oil to pay for said invasion.

Does our economy look particularly stable to you? We’ve had three massive recessions in the past 20 years and each has been more devastating than the last...

Policy, dipshit. The distinctions between Neera Tanden and AOC are based in policy. Pretending like you can't understand those policy differences won't make them any less important but it does make you seem stupid

A healthy press is supposed to have an adversarial relationship with powerful people. Also, Biden’s pick for Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, is an especially bad choice (who happens to be a woman). Besides covering up for torturers, Haines has worked as a consultant for a LITERAL vampire named Peter…

I guess... I haven’t found any indication that Mayorkas’ Cuban heritage (or any sort of moral convictions) lead him to speak out about the record number of deportations carried out by the same government agency he worked at while Obama was president. Maybe, under Mayorkas, the dudes rounding up poor brown people won’t…

Is this the mayor who tried to do some mild police reform and the NYPD responded by RIOTING for several days straight?

Avril Haines played a key role in setting up our horrific drone warfare program. Then she consulted for an evil surveillance company called “Palantir” that was founded by a literal vampire named Peter Thiel who was instrumental to Trump’s 2016 campaign. This woman is bad news; her appointment represents more militarism…

Very true. Just hope people don’t go “back to brunch” so much that Biden winds up setting the stage for a Trump comeback in 2024.
