I've got bad news: the oligarchs run the blue states as well. California gave us Palantir and X. Peter Thiel advocates for this exact same thing for fuck sake.

Normal people who aren't pedophiles will comment on the facial features and say something like "she has her mom's nose".

IDK about "white knight"; I first heard the phrase "dangerous by default" from a black man recounting how he got nervous being on an elevator with a white woman.

When asked why such basic tasks are impractical they will say "just look at how incompetent we are!"

I get the impression billionaires are a big reason we aren't addressing climate change. Sad that the Children of Kali are our best hope.

only way to fix the media is to fix the voters.

This narrative serves the capitalist class and cannot be proven. You don't "fix" voters, you create solidarity by dealing with their material conditions (engage in mutual aid).

I get the feeling we need to be doing the work the Democrats refused to do: creating a political mandate. Protesting is part of creating that mandate, but one thing I would like to see is the inverse of the "ground game" l; where instead of going door to door to convince people of a solution, you get them involved in the decision process.

Y'all overlooking that she's saying it has to be Harris. All the campaign funds and endorsements don't leave the campaign if Biden steps down and the baton is passed to the VP. Not true if we make this an open primary or even if we all agreed on someone else.
