Democrats are plenty progressive, Mamdani's policy stances are pretty normal, but without state and federal majorities we're not gonna see fuck all for change.
Fun fact, the DNC have had 48 or less senators for over 13 years, but I agree that the many social, foreign affairs, and fiscal accomplishments of the DNC go vastly underreported.
The DNC official platform document says it wants to:
Tax the Rich
Remove citizens united
Make voting easier
Prevent climate disaster
Protect forests
Give everyone food and medical and expand affordable housing and transport
So, I mean, they understand what I am angry about. Only policy I wish they were better about would be dropping support of Israel but even on that they are infinitely better than GOP policy.
I disagree that Bernie wasn't given a fair shot. He was invited to participate in the DNC primary, despite his third party status, and lost by millions to Hillary, and again when Biden doubled Bernies votes. Both times Bernie lost he asked us to vote for the winner. I think a lot of such sentiment was drummed up by foreign interference in order to create discord and aid the conservatives.
Nope, for 72 days in session under Obama the DNC had 58. Which is why an Independent Joe Leiberman fucked us all over by denying us public option healthcare.
Actually, the DNC didn't. They only had 58. Which is why the ACA version we got was watered down from the original Public Option identical to Germany healthcare.
In case any readers are unaware, intersex is a physical condition that one can be born with due to a rare and interesting expression of genetic information.
It can be barely noticeable in some and in others it can result in the development of sexual organs from both sexes.
It is a completely natural phenomenon and not a choice of the individual (which is also the case for trans in my opinion, but even if somebody did choose it I wouldn't judge that).
The other day somebody asked me a question and I couldn't be bothered to deal with them, but later on I decided to answer in earnest and deleted the previous response.
Look, if we had a multiple millenia year old cure for cancer that the majority of doctors say works and I've seen work myself, then I would be skeptical of science saying it doesn't.
Rather, you appear to me more akin to an anti-vaxxer that "did their research".
Most dogs associate the sensation of being pet with how their family licks them clean. The thought of using paws to return pets is unlikely.
If you want to break a dog's habbit of jumping up, pawing at you, or getting overly excited at your return: ignore them. Do not pet them when you walk in the door. Do not give them any form of validation for several minutes, perhaps after they lay down.
Meh.
TikTok led to the largest shift rightwards among youth voters ever recorded in the USA.
It isn't just conjecture it is measured.
