In New York the IDC had to rely on stamping (D) after their names and hoping for low turnout to get elected and low engagement in safely D districts to do their fuckery. Out here, Dem candidates *trumpet* their anti-housing, anti-poor, anti-diversity bonafides using dogwhistles that wouldn't have passed back east since like 1998.

you're over doing the difference between the east and the west coast. the NYPD arrested deblasio's daughter and he thanked them. Cuomo turned nursing homes into charnal houses and rewrote the states vaccination plan at the last minute to help his friends in the hospital industry. and that's just the big stories from NYC.

Eh, I don't think prop 22 is proof CA is all neolibs.

The proof is go anywhere politically right of a mutual aid group and ask someone about putting in some transit. Or getting rid of parking. Or accepting refugees. Or building a homeless shelter or even just services. Or, gently caress, I dunno, enacting Affirmative action and catching the state up to 1965.

You're ignoring the difference between the police, government and people. I'm telling you that the conversations with *people* I've met since I moved here have all been right of what would be normal on the east coast. I keep writing and then deleting anecdotes because they take too much space and they'd just be waved away. Trust me. The people are different here, and worse.

I honestly don't think if every voter in NYS (even the upstate chuds) was given a choice, they'd strip affirmative action from minorities. And then reaffirm the choice 30 years later, overwhelmingly. Maybe I'm naive.

Probably just spoiled cause I'm from a coal area with a strong union tradition. That we only have because the powers that be at the time must not have used wealth and social control to run propaganda campaigns. They only had people hung, they didn't run play hardball and run facebook ads.

Why do white liberals (incl. the red flavor) always use selfies taken in their cars as profile pics?

in america the car is the perfect representation of the hyper individualized, hyper isolated culture that permeates every american

it is extension of the self and the indominable will of the individual who drives it. once you step inside and drive, everything on the road becomes an affront to you and your kingdom: animals, pedestrians, cyclists, traffic signs, other vehicles and their occupants. you are infallible, you are invincible, everything needs to get out of your way.

not a single scratch, dent, or scuff shall be inflicted on your car. for someone or something that violates the car is the same as violating oneself

the car selfie is effectively, a pronouncement, a decree, that you are the one and only master of your domain and quintessential definition of what it means to be an american: a petty tyrant in a small enclosed space

The fundraising grift has gone into overdrive. I have received six different begmails in the last 24 hours. I received emails from Chuck Schumer, two from Pelosi, Tom Perez, "DNC Headquarters," and "Democrats.org"

e: also all of them except Pelosi have upped the lowest suggestion donation from $5 to $7 in the last couple of weeks.

Fairly reminiscient "HIGH JACK THIS FAGS", but liberal! :) I found something funny on that Wikipedia page I hadn't heard before, though, having lived the times and seeing the photoshop thread for it back in the day:

Both the Associated Press and the United States Navy have apologized for the incident. AP spokesman Jack Stokes described publishing the photograph as a "journalistic error," saying that the "fag bomb" picture "never should have gotten through, and nobody should have seen it."

Not 'hey we probably shouldn't be writing anti-gay slurs on bombs being sent at poor people in the Global South', but an apology from the loving AP about how they would never ordinarily or intentionally let ANYTHING exposing the bloodthirsty, homophobic, ignorant nature of the American servicehog through!

Tell your union steward that you'd rather they find a mob boss to support. At least a mafia don would understand he shouldn't discard his allies.

fwiw both AP and Reuters are part of the imperial intelligence and propaganda structure, just check what news they editorialize and where their reporters just happen to be when military news happen

If the Democrats had 65 seats they'd make up another excuse for why they can't pass policies that help the working class. Just look at California, where the Democrats dominate and it has the highest inequality in the nation and just enshrined gig work into law.

If the Dems had 99 seats, they would insist that the 1 non-Dem vote on their bills. They would cave on every single point of contention with the non-Dem, and when they move to vote the non-Dem would still vote against it.
