Another chief executive

Hahahaha preach!

Your reading comprehension is better than mine, thank u comrade :rat-salute: apologies for my poor interpretation, the coffee machine at Langley is broken today.

Yeah I agree with you that’s a shit look. It reads like “we don’t need to make this endorsement to win, and we don’t feel the need to campaign against our incumbent who is going to win anyway”. But in the process wind up looking ambivalent to genocide.

I feel like I can even see the logic where they’re like, “how she voted in this meaningless motion that was gonna overwhelmingly pass anyway has no real world impact,” but it’s like, if you’re not even gonna protest the sham votes, why are you there???

I’m interested in your opinion on the link I just posted below, where it looks to me like it was the NYC chapter that specifically requested the revocation of her endorsement?

I’m not trying to “gotcha” I’m just well outside of the party politics and curious whether that changes your view or not

I had to look it up but it looks like NYC chapter specifically requested that national DSA revoke its endorsement of her over her Israel votes lolol

Edit: the link is correct but plz read PM_ME_YOUR_FOCAULTS much better interpretation in this comment thread

It’s just NYC DSA and some Warren libs (but I repeat myself)

At risk of being called a lib: NYC DSA in particular runs explicitly socialist candidates, wins, and gets real political results at city and state level at least… I have yet to meet a member who isn’t well versed in theory.

I’ve been in multiple DSA chapters as I’ve bounced around burgerland and some were effectively lib children with their underwear on their head, but I honestly think NYC DSA is the rare effective force for good rooted in theory.

Now, I supplemented that work with mutual aid in different groups bc electoralism is a fuck and because I don’t care about the “party politics” of DSA in general (nor was ever really ingrained enough to understand them). But I think there are more deserving targets of dunking than NYC DSA.

(ducks incoming tomatoes)

Edit: read further into this thread for a wholly deserved dunking on NYC DSA

So make Panera workers shareholders??? Maybe the only shareholders actually!

I think you meant “Israel” in the title lol

Aw jeez I’ve had multiple TBIs and covids and my brain really sucks now, this kind of thing is terrifying to me. I don’t wanna be a vegetable

Great job! New emojis

some of the symptoms people report after getting covid I’ve had for years, and it was likely the result of a flu.

Wow that’s awful, I’m sorry to hear that. I have had post COVID symptoms for about 6 months now I’ve never heard of it from the flu before, makes sense tho. We lack so much medical knowledge it’s insane.

no big deal for healthy younger people

Last time I got the flu I shit myself lol I thought that was a pretty big deal!

This is a weird use of the Bureaucrat handle

Always mask in places that vulnerable and high risk people can’t avoid!

Is the flu shot common in the UK?

I am a burgerlander and here the flu shot is free and everyone is recommended to get it every autumn. But I had a friend tell me once that flu shots were only recommended for the elderly. Is it true?

hell yeah how far did u ride and how was the weather

Sounds like The Shining lol hope u like getting spooked!!

I’m always like this

iirc the original bill was, “there will be a public option, and if you don’t sign up for it you get fined.” But then they killed the public option so it just became “if you don’t purchase insurance from a private company you get fined by the public”

Some Arctic Monkeys stuff is good, but for a lot of their work (that I’ve heard anyway) their drummer just does the exact same thing throughout the entire song and I find it tiresome.

I feel u tho, my family is the most misanthropic, miserable, greedy group of people you’ll ever meet. Spending time with them withers my soul.
