Americans speak like fascism will be ushered into America with a trump win. Got news for y'all: fascists learned from your country. Nazis learned from your country. Y'all are the blueprint for genocide, oppression, capitalism, slavery, and institutionalised bigotry. Fascism is already in America.

Goddammit, people should not be fucking DYING from HEAT in a place that they cannot leave or where they cannot control their environment. Air conditioning in California's Central Valley should be BASIC, like food, water, and shelter. I'm not sure how this doesn't constitute at least manslaughter.

That Dems have all fallen prey to some sort of mass cowardice x sunk cost fallacy delusion is made SO MUCH WORSE by the fact that literally all they’re defending is (up to) 4 years of occasional self-care days for straight, white wine moms and man cave dads with a household income of over $300K.

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: the fact that it’s not standard practice for people like feinstein, biden, sanders, and even clinton to throw their endorsement behind a mentee and then retire in their 60s is a massive failure of left wing political organization.
