As a Democratic Strategist, I believe now is the time to be open and honest with the American people.
Which is why I believe we should be completely uncritical of the system that produced the leadership and circumstances of our present moment, and instead blame one man.
I get paid 789k, by the way

Fascism didn't appear out of nowhere. It's been here all along, allowed to fester and prey upon groups of people deemed undeserving of protection. It's been growing like a slimemold, and now it's crawling towards you regardless of who you are.
Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there
Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

Nothing against this poster, but it's worth remembering that the working class has to work on election day. It's not a national holiday.
Not to mention voter suppression and disenrollment!

It’s scary to know that 1/3rd of Americans still won’t vote after all of this.

You cannot accept an empire as a legitimate form and then be mad when it engages in imperial actions.

We continue to struggle with this fact: this system does not select for competence in leadership.
Capital now operates under oligopoly/monopoly. They don't need to give you a good product. You must buy what only they sell.
So now, capital wants "business leaders" with servility and sociopathy

From October 2025: “I might invoke Edward R. Murrow, but they remember him. They don’t have any goodwill toward you. They don’t know who you are at all. And they are not going to defend you when you screw up.”

There is a phenomenon among the American left that I struggle to describe so I’m just going to call it the Evil Left. One example among many, the idea that rich people who suffer from mental illness shouldn’t get any sympathy because they had every chance to fix themselves

With this current Democratic leadership, we will get:
A woman put in charge of the bombing of fishermen
Solar panels on tanks sent to do a genocide
Complete deregulation for "abundance"
And a program that gives a company $50000 for taking an undocumented worker out of jail to be abused at work

Every huge and wasteful economic tumor will be greenwashed to justify its existence. Our economic dogma forces us to bend reality to the needs of the tumor when the obvious solution is to remove it.
Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

One of my favorite things about this economic system is that it has exactly ONE logical end to what it produces: Garbage. Often, garbage made by forced labor.
It might be the most easily proven fact about this economy. But we collectively pretend to be surprised when it happens.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I guess there's simply nothing you can do except to absolve the island of her debts and free her from her colonial chains.
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.
