But the graphs said things were getting better!

True. Right now they're still reeling, which is why now I think is the time to spread our messages and press them.

While I'm definitely afraid the DNC will go that way, I've been surprised by how many normal people I see not getting that out of the election on libs.world or Reddit. Sure, there's the occasional post still blaming Arabs or Latinos whatever, but I see a lot of anger pointed at the Dems instead that can be harnessed. This may turn out to be a great teaching and radicalizing moment if socialists take advantage of it now.

I think the fact that he won the popular vote means that the regular scapegoats they were planning on don't work. There was clearly not enough third party voters and they lost votes they had in 2020. It could just be sexism, but I think a lot of people have the feeling something else happened, something related to the campaign, or I wouldn't be seeing so much anger and disappointment directed at the Dems.

She easily could've separated herself more from him, but very purposefully didn't.

Why do white supremacists always take on the Nordic or viking aesthetic? There's so many flavors of cracker. I guess there's sometimes German, too, if they want to go full Nazi, but I see the viking shit more often these days.

She's farther along with better takes than I had at her age tbh. Someone give her some theory.

It did take the Republicans like 15 times to even name a Speaker, which was hilarious lol.

Poor Ohtani and Judge super choked during that series. It was fun to watch, and at least the other stars like Betts and Freedman came out swinging, but i was kind of hoping to see more from those two, especially as someone who only barely casually follows the sport during the regular season.

Well the way the propaganda works is that they took all the aid, and save none for the rest of the Palestinians, which obviously would be bad.

The thread seems like a great example of why blocking everyone isn't always a great idea. People in that thread are being educated about history and the true state of the world.

Wow, the hypocrisy. At least the replies on here are calling him out lol.

What's some books with an interesting vision of the future? I don't just mean more advanced technology, I mean the way it's organized.

I find often people can't envision past the society we have now. There's that quote, "It is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism", and it seems more and more true, but sci-fi authors seem best equipped to actually imagine beyond that.

I've heard some sci-fi authors mentioned in this category before, like Heinlen, Ursula K. Le Guin, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.

I haven't read any of them lol. Would have no idea where to start within them that fits this category, or what other choices there are that people would suggest.
