I think it's a subset within America. It's grossly oversimplifying it, but the primary subset is white liberals. If you're looking for people that profess to feel guilty about the environment, racism, sexism, ableism, anti-transamaphobianism and everything else, that's who it's going to be. Which is not to say it's wrong, it's just reality. Your other groups do not appear to feel anything like the same level of guilt.

And honestly, I think you overstate the discontent of the laboring class. There are plenty of folks who still buy into upward mobility, or are reasonably happy working for themselves, or who accept the wage that they're making. There's a reason that the labor movement had been in a death spiral until COVID and inflation arrived and it's not all due to management "brilliance" and/or goonery.

So again I don't think your ideas are wrong, just that the malaise is far less pervasive than you think.

lula vs bolsinaro in brazil in october

that election makes a difference, right birdman?

Think for yourself 'birdman'

some of us really shouldn't think for ourselves

Lula and bolsonaro are cia ops in fact the whole country of brazil is a cia op /birdman

I feel like I’ve posted enough that even a mediocre machine learning program could approximate my posting for a while before anyone noticed

That being said Bolsanaro is without a doubt working with the CIA in some capacity

vote blue no matter who!!!

Looks like someone visited their local marijuana dispensary...

The IDF just executed a journalist

i hate the democratic party ;-;

I've got good news and bad news for you -- the good news it you might hate it a little less after the midterms wipe out a bunch of "moderate" "democrats".

Everything else is bad news so I'll let others elaborate.

lol

it's a lose lose at the midterms

Maybe Pelosi will get demoted in favor of Jayapal, which would at least make things more entertaining.

That would mean we get President Grassley if Joe and Kamala die.

Also Pelosi will get demoted, because the Democrats will lose the House too.

Isn't the speaker of the House in line before the President Pro Tempore of the Senate?

And yeah, I already had "as minority leader" in my mind but you are correct.

Speaking of all things Senate, anyone have any zesty takes about Chuck Schumer forcing a vote on that abortion bill that was obviously DOA?

Yes, but if the speaker was Jayapal, she would be skipped because she is ineligible for the presidency.

every election is lose lose

The last presidential election was definitely lose lose.

Totally a 15

Where were you when the person 7th in line for the presidency switched from one old millionaire affiliated with the democrats to another old millionaire affiliated with the GOP

those russian war criminals!

lol!! george bush was my favorite president just for the lols. glad he had one more in him
