George Washington was a slave owning pedophile, so yeah, be wouldn’t be upset with where the US is now.
It’s time to stop worshipping the founding fathers.

I’ve wrapped enough coils to know they do in fact get red hot. Ask anybody who built coils how many times they’ve had to throw away a tank full because they ran it too fast and it burnt.
You trust the disposables to supply enough juice to keep the coil from every getting red hot? You trust the coil to be made of safer metals?
Sanders and Noam Fucking Chomsky himself started spouting neo-liberalism bullshit, and AOC just voted against stripping funding to Israel from 2026 “defense” act.
They ain’t the heros you’re looking for.
The metal coil that needs to get red hot to vaporize the PG/VG.
Not weird at all. It’s weird to verbalize empathy towards workers supporting genocide.
Notice I’m not advocating for their death, but when they are warned not to work on a ship because it will be attacked because it’s supporting genocide, it’s weird to exclusively share en empathetic view that paints them as innocent workers…
The fact that it was Mitt Romney’s idea should speak volumes about the propaganda from the Democrats. It has its pros, but like everything else the Democrats support, it must first and foremost benefit corporations.
but medical access unequivocally improved vastly as a result of it.
Yes, and I still have access to my same doctor! But I don’t even go to the doctor when I need to anymore because my family insurance went from a $500 deductable to a $10,000 deductable. I have insurance, but I legitimately lost access to healthcaret, I can’t afford it. I went to the hospital two years in a row and had to pay it off in installments for the next two years.
My mom’s medicare got amazing, and I couldn’t complain about that. But holy shit my medical expenses went up. And I’m pretty well off, I just can’t afford a $18,400 pay cut and save any money in this economy.
lol like the US can afford that what with a full blown genocide to continue funding.
“safety net”, the quotes are vital. While some Democrats are bought into the bullshit neo-lib narrative and think this is what society should look like, I think the majority of the bought and paid for Democrats are fully aware these measures are only intended to squeeze every last bit profit out of us, keeping us and our children as wage slaves.
The safety net is meant to allow you to recover so you can go back to work for the capitalists, not to take care of you so you can contribute to society.
This headline got you writing all that. Now go and see how many airstrikes Biden paid for with your tax dollars and who the victims were.
Trump used American pilots, Biden just have weapons and money to Israel to destroy Gaza.
The Democrat party is a neo liberal party that aims to transfer wealth and power from workers to corporations, they just want us to have a “safety net” to fall back on when our over exploitation breaks us.
The Democrats are not your friends. We can achieve way better than their sorry little steps of “progress”. Yay gays can get married now, too bad very few can afford to!
This is a cult purge, they’ll be forming the parallel of the SS with their most loyal followers.
You see how this entire article concludes Epstein’s death was suicide? That’s manufacturing consent right there.
They are shaping the narrative, they get you excited about a random letter that proves nothing and would go nowhere in court and you praise them for journalism, but their objective is clear: normalize Jeffrey Epstein’s image as a financial manager who committed suicide after “he pleaded guilty for a sex crime”.
That’s quite the positive spin on their relationship.
Context, my pal. They’re not talking about ALL employees of the government, they’re talking about bureaucracy and ineffective governing.
Yes, we agree that it’s the government’s fault, we’re simply disagreeing with the “fuck the kids they deserve to die, they shouldn’t have voted for corrupt politicians that didn’t give them accurate maps”
You’re right that a lot has changed for the better, especially when it comes to legal rights for LGBTQ+ people. The AIDS crisis was devastating and compounded by the cruelty of being denied the most basic recognitions like visiting your partner in the hospital or even being allowed to stay in your home after they passed. Legal victories like Lawrence v. Texas, Obergefell, and Bostock were historic, and they represent real, hard-won progress.
But I think it’s also important to recognize that legal inclusion doesn’t always mean liberation. A lot of those rights are still tied to institutions like marriage, which leave out anyone who doesn’t fit that mold. Marriage shouldn’t be the gateway to healthcare or housing security. That just reinforces the idea that some relationships or lives are more worthy of protection than others.
Same goes for healthcare. The Affordable Care Act helped, but it still left healthcare tied to jobs and profit. Life-saving medications exist, but they’re still out of reach for many because of how expensive and inaccessible our system is. PrEP, for example, is amazing in what it can do, but the fact that it’s rationed through patents and insurance barriers says a lot about who this system really serves.
And while the internet has opened up huge spaces for connection and organizing, it also turned our identities into data and our attention into profit. Social media connects, but it also surveils and exploits. So even in our victories, the system keeps finding ways to profit off our survival.
I think the pessimism today is more than just a vibe shift. People feel it because they know deep down that we’re still not free. That our progress is fragile, often built on the same systems that oppress others. The question isn’t just whether things are better. It’s whether we’re building something that won’t keep leaving people behind.
It’s a bunch of nonsense. Stewart has more influence on the public, and Schumer is an actual politician with real political power and decades of experience to know how to use it. He just doesn’t, because he’s a Zionist neo-lib and his interests don’t align with the American public’s.
“if you’re not omniscient, you don’t get to be upset when something bad happens”
Pretty dumb logic. Can’t think of the children potentially impacted by manipulated flood maps if you live across the world and don’t know about said flood maps.
But now that children are drowning, your response is “fuck 'em, they should have looked at accurate flood maps”. WTF!
Mexico is sending rescuers to help with the efforts, while FEMA emergency funds were diverted to build domestic concentration camps.
Dude, no one is talking about you and we don’t want to change the conversation to talk about you. That’s weird.
Fuck your good that includes making sure your children are wage slaves while your taxes slaughter children in Palestine. That’s not good, you just don’t give a fuck that the people YOUR TAX DOLLARS slaughter for your comfort are far away.
