My one rule for leftism is that if you feel the need to let people know how much farther left you are to others, then you're overcompensating for how liberal you actually are.

Eggplant Squire posted:One of the funny things about the sudden "child poverty has been solved" headlines is leading up to this bill you heard only a little about that aspect of it. Like that seems like a Big Deal and would certainly be a massive undertaking to cut child poverty by half with a lot of studies and planning since it's a pretty complicated issue especially due to the nature of our country and the different living conditions and economies depending on region (as we are told that's why 15 an hour won't work everywhere the same). it's just funny that everyone thinks "best domestic legislation since the great society" and "will cut child poverty in half" headlines showed up organically, instead out of some dem PR chop house.

Death By The Blues posted:Probably not the best place to put this, but can anyone give me a run down on Vaush. My ex business partner/best friend was always more the moderate of us and I haven't talked to him in years, stumbled on his twitter and he seems to really like/rt Vaush. However, know very little about him. he claims to be a socialist and was a fan of Destiny who does his own stream now or something he basically tells kids that voting for Biden is praxis. he's gotten into some weird beefs he also defending using the hard-r n-word as a power move lol

also vaush is a sex pest and he stated that a communist state would end the age of consent (he was saying this is a good thing) I can't find the video but he also said that like Lenin and Mao would vote for and canvass for Joe Biden IOW he's an idiot who says dumb poo poo to get attention from twitch kids I try not to be too hard on his followers since a lot of them are actual children or very young adults but that know nothing dude is one of the most obnoxious of his hangers on.

It's the same paternalistic nonsense of deferring to the media narrative because they're on tv and look smug in their nyt op ed photo so they must be smart, they keep telling me they're smart and i trust them. maybe YOU don't know what YOU'RE talking about

Vaush is a liberal debate lord who calls himself a communist. He's also has a very annoying affect and a much higher self opinion than is warranted. It's legitimately depressing that he has such a large audience.

Nichael posted:I think a big reason why the left fails is that the right has created a reality that is so crushing and depressing, that merely accurately describing it to less doomered or aware people makes you look like a colossal rear end in a top hat. It's pretty clear to me and all of you that the Democrats have no real interest in governance, or any meaningful opposing views to the GOP. But if you tell an average voter that at least 90% of the "good guys" party are monsters, and their party leader is a rapist, it is way too much to handle. Nichael posted:President Current Rapist refused to even performatively whip his home state Senators to vote for a paltry $15 minimum wage for a mock betrayal of capital. That truth is unbelievably depressing, and people don't want to hear that after four years of Trump, so they of course ignore it. When they acknowledge it, they cling to the idea of simply calling up the offices of Carper, Coons, Sinema, etc as if that'll matter. i agree bro

Sorry for the derail. That makes sense. The business partner really liked to fight me a bunch and we always joked he was more centrist. Once the CEO of Konica Minolta Canada called me ISIS (I am Iranian and had a bushy beard). Business partner said I kind of deserved it cause the beard was unkempt lol
