I've never been a member of a union, but I’ve benefited greatly from their existence, especially the United Aerospace Workers. I support unions wholly and unequivocally. Always have. Always will. Every day should be Labor Day !

The only thing being showcased in this conversation is how narrow minded you are. "All boomers"? Generalize much? I was organizing against the war and racism and providing armed security for activists while you were still in diapers. There are lots of asshole boomers, but it’s hardly all of us.

This you? Fuck off, ageist. PS - I'm hardly elevating him this far out from the next general election. I am, however, appreciative of his calling out Trump & MAGA. i’ll deal with his negatives if and when the time comes. Take your performative purism and shove it up your overly-tight ass.

Yes, and if memory serves, Marx referred to it as State Monopoly Capitalism, the final stage before natural evolution to socialism.

In what way does what Trump is doing inure to the benefit of "taxpayers" who, by the way, are mostly "workers"?

I'm 355 days younger than this odious piece of shit, so I was around when this was "fashionable". Had I dressed like this I would have felt honor-bound to commit seppuku.

This woman is a fucking idiot. People have a visceral response because it's clear prayer does diddly squat when it comes to preventing shootings. Sure, it might provide comfort for some after the fact, but it does absolutely nothing preventative. Also, you can't hate something that doesn't exist. đź–•

I believe once he's gone, the infighting will be furious and they will eat each other alive. Doesn't mean the MAGA movement and the billionaire tech bros won't remain dangerous, but none of them will be able to hold the cult in thrall like Trump has.

And the institutions that could stop it won't. Now it's going to be up to WE, THE PEOPLE to either make this right or suffer the consequences of slipping completely into authoritarianism and, no doubt, racial violence.

I should keep posting this every damn hour, but it would likely only serve to piss people off. We are SO fucking brainwashed against socialism, it's pathetic.

We truly are the Dunning-Kruger nation; a hopeless kakistocracy. Land of the less than mediocre. Almost makes me glad I'll be dead soon.

I'd be happy to be a part of the vanguard, except I'm 78 and becoming increasingly frail. I can offer knowledge, but we need young people to take up the challenge. People like Maxwell Frost and David Hogg might be able to provide leadership. Blue states are going to have to step up!

The insanity will continue until WE, THE FUCKING PEOPLE, get off our asses, organize, and take it away from them by any means necessary. Unfortunately, far too many of us still think capitalism is the best economic system ever.

Tonight's post-credits scene with Patton Oswalt and Ethan Peck was a wonderful kind of easter egg. I can't recall SNW doing that; surely not on the regular.

This would be funny if it wasn't so stupid. Over three years out from the next general election and some are wasting huge amounts of energy arguing over which (this is important) "imaginary" candidate they won't vote for. Spend some energy getting him to change. He's already a national figure.
