You might be able to make an argument for this grandma, but there are countless others. You can't deny we have a systemic problem that leaves seniors out in the cold

For the love of god primary his ass

Sometimes I feel like it's just too simple. Then I see articles like this and I'm like nope. Staying away from that bullshit.

Early on I thought there was no chance he would win. Too young, too progressive, not white. I didn't really follow his campaign.

Now that he's won he's like a beacon of hope in these awful times. He's got charisma and he's super smart and quick to respond to criticisms. He's really one of a kind. It makes total sense he's running in NYC.

On the other hand, you've got Katie Wilson in Seattle who has the driest personality of any candidate I've come across. Maybe it works for Seattle.

I hate seeing old people working at establishments like grocery stores. It is the saddest representation that our system does not work. They should be living their life traveling, spending time with family, or gardening. No one should have to work into their 60's.

Way Back Machine is your friend. I don't visit sites directly anymore.

I don't use any proprietary apps. Only FOSS apps installed on my phone.

If Biden was the reason for her loss, she should have broke away from him when she had the chance. That would've been a breath of fresh air that clearly would've communicated to voters that this was not the same campaign.

Again I ask why support a strong border policy when that is something party voters do not support? Her trying to appeal to conservative voters was idiotic. There is no excuse for that.

Absolutely. They are all complicit.

Just enraging. I will say that there appears to have been a major shift the past week with a number of leaders (e.g. Obama, Hillary) in acknowledging the starvation crisis in Gaza. I'm guessing it happened after the two Israeli organizations came out and said it.

Still need more though. I need everyone to demand cutting off aid to Israel. We'll never see them admitting it's a genocide, however. They have to preserve their integrity.

I had no idea he was abducted. The guy is fearless and I'm glad he's back home safe.

It’s calling for coordinated collective action.

The "coordinated" part is what I have an issue with because who decides this coordination? Inevitably it will be the government, which means their agendas will flip widely depending on the party or the elected leader. It would be a chaotic mess going from one extreme to the other every four years or so.

Also the pandemic was proof that even scientists were not immune to being persuaded by politics. They despised Trump and his claim that covid came from a lab yet they refused to investigate until Biden came into power because at that time the pandemic situation was improving and people weren't paying attention. The CDC also eventually admitted that their vaccine boosters weren't necessary for the 18-49 age group when the omicron variant was spreading. Fauci was also culpable at various moments during the pandemic.
