Biden said he was a friend to labor. He lied. He won’t even mention card-check.

You’re right. This is not a fare thee well, but I really have a headache from all of that headbanging and need to drink more green tea than bourbon, rum, or gin. I’ve got to get into some more healthy habits, which means I have to get away from the laptop a lot more often than I have been.

After all, if the revolution does come, I don’t want to…[Read more]

That’s my wife. And my stepkids and their friends are either socialist or libertarian, mostly, and even our immediate neighbors agree on most of the important things. So I’m not isolated. I’d never thought of that as a luxury before, but I guess it kind of is. I just need to get back into my Zen for awhile and lower my blood pressure and lose some…[Read more]

Even when we disagree, I know your heart’s in the right place.

Everything. That’s my position and I’m sticking to it. My family’s already had the Covid, and two of us will lose their jobs in an allout lockdown. They try that again and I’ll join the nuts with guns at the state capitol. Swear to the gods.

That’s the plan.

You demanded nothing from Biden in exchange for your support. You own this every bit as much as Biden does, you freaking progressive sheepherder.

Go back to cute poses in mittens. At least that’s harmless and not so grossly hypocritical and embarrassing.

BIden will never legalize marijuana. The cops and the prison industrial complex profit too much for it to be legalized.

It is indeed a mistake to point to New Zealand and say the US should lock down like they do without also demanding UBI. Without UBI lockdowns are a death sentence to about a third of our economy and a ticket to destitution for their employees.

But I never see American liberals, or even socialists like the WSWS, consistently calling for UBI while…[Read more]

We live in a kleptocracy, not a democracy, and Ro Khanna is an enabler of that kleptocracy. He voted for the CARES Act. He voted for Pelosi as Speaker. He voted for Joe Biden for President. That’s three strikes right there.

Now the real estate industry tells people that half of their disposable income is “reasonable” for the rent or the mortgage. Now, it usually costs a greater percentage of working or middle class income to rent than it does to take out a mortgage, and to do the latter one usually has to pay far more up front than the typical one month’s rent for a…[Read more]

The only reason Pelosi let the minimum wage be part of the package that the House approved was because she already knew it was dead in the Senate. She never wanted a minimum wage increase.

I completely agree with you that $15 is already inadequate. To match the buying power of the minimum wage in say, 1975, it would have to be immediately raised…[Read more]

Invading and occupying other countries with ground troops, or overthrowing governments and installing dangerous replacements as in Ukraine, or letting entire countries collapse to the point where there is no central government at all and open slave markets, as in Libya. The 21st Century version of Truth, Justice and the American Way.

The thing…[Read more]

That would be #5, rampant sexism. In the Land of the Free, women get to be good Fascists, too, and we’ve got plenty of them. Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and Betsy Devos come to mind, and there are dozens more I’m sure you can think of. Ain’t America great?

She and Lyin’ Biden lied. That’s it. Nothing complicated at all. Democrats aren’t stupid or weak, but they are duplicitous. Anyone who believes otherwise is a sucker and PT Barnum is laughing at them.
