yup, when I think "strong floor", I think Reaganomics. yup.

Nevermind what those programs were replacing, who cares? History began in 1980.

Yeah sorry if you start a war that kills a million Americans because you wanted to own humans, you should be executed for the crimes you did.

Jefferson Davis and Robert E Lee both should’ve swung.

That’s because they aren’t neoliberals. It’s not their fault you actively refuse to learn what words mean.
December 5, 2025 at 8:24 PM
The “strong floor” part of strong floor, no ceiling, is openly antithetical to what neoliberalism actually is.

Again; neoliberalism is not a term for “thing you don’t like” and when you treat it as such you just undermine your argument.

this is why the endless promises from Democrats to listen harder are so stupid. they not only don't work, they actively undermine Dems' standing with people who dislike Dems.

Tillamook is also in a gorgeous area. It’s super pretty in the hills and beaches around Tillamook.

Again, neoliberalism is not just “thing you don’t like”.

"The DNC" is often said with the same cadence as fascists say "The Jews"

also no, the I did not see the video posted by the coal mining enthusiast who blocked me. Their opposition to Waymo is fundamentally the same as the opposition Republicans have to green energy.

You mean the thing that happens to normal cars too? The problem is men, not driverless cars.

Neoliberalism isn’t just things you’re mad at.

Turkey is European obviously, Eric Adams told him so.

I have also told people to behave themselves on public transit. Nobody backed me up. I’m pro transit but if I, a 6’3, 260 pound man am getting accosted, then I can guarantee women are having a worse experience, and I see why Waymo appeals to people.

Until the Chinese decide that they also hate being a global power and do the same shit to themselves that America is doing now, largely for similar reasons (boredom and racism)

it's really not hard to understand that working with abusers is bad
December 5, 2025 at 6:43 PM
If the DSA would rather work with abusers than not, what’s that say about the DSA?

Many local DSA chapters have issues with abusers, so it tracks that that’s what they’re looking for in organizational partners.

I hope Mamdani gets the freaks to leave DSA.
December 5, 2025 at 6:28 PM
there are, you just haven't heard about them because the DSA is filled with profoundly unserious people dedicated to sabotaging their chances of electoral success.

Plenty of local organizations that are not implicated for defending abusers are organizing their own actions.
December 5, 2025 at 6:17 PM
really disappointing to learn that a game studio I liked is pro abuse. Fucking pathetic. I will not be supporting you in the future
December 5, 2025 at 6:15 PM
why do you support abusers?
December 5, 2025 at 6:14 PM
because they're a fucking paper. It is not hard to understand why. Maybe if you worked with local organizers instead of worshipping shitty cults you'd know about the better alternatives to this shit.
December 5, 2025 at 6:11 PM
are you mad they stopped instead of running you over? Because it sounds like you're mad they stopped instead of just running you over.
December 5, 2025 at 6:08 PM
its a good thing to automate away shitty jobs that people did not like doing, especially in the gig economy.
December 5, 2025 at 6:07 PM
you know they're just bystanders right? They won't do shit. I've been robbed on transit by a person with a gun and the rest of the car just looked at their phones.

Also, public transit is not an alternative to Waymo. The alternative is Uber.
December 5, 2025 at 6:06 PM
you're projecting
