No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

Whole Foods suggested that employees “donate” their PTO to their coworkers who undergo a medical emergency

The irony is that AOC’s victory taught incumbent liberals a lesson, and they actually learned it. She rightfully caught Crowley asleep at the wheel. Now, incumbents look alive, tap their networks, campaign in their districts, in person. If you do all that competently, there is zero reason to fear a far left…

I have to ask, who is actually doing the gas lighting here?

Thank you. You'd think Bernie was made of candy glass...one supporter criticised and his entire agenda will just fall into disarray. 

Fuckers managed to ruin Szechuan Sauce for fuck's sake. 

Pretty much everyone knows that Sanders is on the right side of history, but fighting for the person who needs it the most and speaking truth to power is too hard, so instead they complain about how someone is making them do the right thing when they would rather keep existing on autopilot.

Seriously. AOC’s endorsement of someone in, like, Iowa, would probably tank that candidate’s chances. Her election was so totally unique (because of her/my district’s demographics) that it simply doesn’t translate widely.

Yeah, the endorsement thing is, on the surface, disappointing but we also need to hear form candidates that they want AOC’s endorsement.

But it was the perfect bait for a certain subset of the online left that is—for whatever reason—eager for Ocasio-Cortez to reveal herself as a sellout.

What I got from this is that AOC is actually trying to figure out how best to push her agenda, even if that means playing ball with the centrists every so often. HOW DARE SHE!!!! Despite her outsized and frankly deserved influence in the political and particularly progressive scene, she seems to understand that she’s…

Lol

The issue is that the people who elected Trump are dedicated to being persuaded by whatever cockamamie lie, excuse, or deflection he comes up with to exculpate himself or whatever. Even if it’s demonstrably false that Trump did or did not do XYZ, his followers will adopt whatever position validates their desire to…

Remember when he said he could murder someone and still get elected? He’s about to murder tens of thousands - and then prove that he was right about getting re-eelcted anyway.

He admitted to sexually assaulting women. One chamber has impeached him.

Serious question: Trump has gotten away with everything else, including impeachment, so why would COVID-19 be any different?

I can agree with the last paragraph, and the last sentence of the paragraph above it.

No, for real Marxists any rent-seeking behaviour is part of an unethical system. Some Marxists I’m sure do believe that the only response to an unethical system is individual non-violent abstention from that system, but certainly not all of them do. There are real Marxists, for example, in rent-charging housing…

There is literally no way to be an ethical landlord

There are credit unions out there that are zero down.  Navy Federal is one of them.  Their interest rate is higher, but so is their risk.  There is no PMI insurance on the loan (I believe), so it may balance out.  If you want to buy, you should look into it.  If buying goes against your values, then I get that too.
