Obama won pretty hard though despite the racism, there were more people excited to see a black president than there were racists (although obviously there as a lot of vocal racism as well).

If Kamala tells a convincing story, I could see it working well.

I don't think employees on the edge of brokeness are getting stock options, that's more a thing to get with a 100k paycheck vs a 150k paycheck.

Okay I get this. The dude with stock could sell the stock, which would be a useful protest, or financially support the worker's rights movement.

edit: nah he has a point

True

I mean yeah, she saved kids' lives and now she's dead. She probably had a meaningful impact on a lot of people, and saying who she is and how she was important in the community helps us feel the full impact of her death.

If this was made law, the boomers would get public transit funded so fast.

I would argue the first isn't active voice

"died when the driver of a car hit her" seems passive to me. It's more accurate, but still passive.

🙄 there are communist countries that are not Russia or China, just like there are capitalist countries that aren't the United States.

But it's freely and easily available to download, why would it be on piracy sites?

Feel like I mentioned again and again that I'm talking about his campaign politics. I took a look at his 2008 campaign policies to see if I was misremembering anything and it's pretty centrist to me, even his health care plan. And like I mentioned, he explicitly did not support gay marriage which at the time would have been an easy progressive signalling, but he either truly opposed gay marriage or he was trying to cater to a broader audience.

Like I said, he had a convincing image of idealism but not the politics to back it up, and you are saying AOC could win because she has progressive politics. She would need the flashy campaign to back it up, and so many people just hate her I don't think it would work.

Anyway I'm just saying the same things over and over again in different wording and it's getting tired, respond if you want, idc, but I'm going to stop here.

I think I was pretty clear saying his campaign was based on the idea and image of idealism, but his politics did not reflect that, not his actual politics or his promised politics in 2008. You're showing me this poster as if I didn't directly mention the art and sloganing as a major reason for his win.

AOC may have idealistic policy positions, but her public image is so meme-ified I don't think she could successfully do the Hope thing that Obama did. Obama was much less well known of a politician when he ran.
