Can I just add: certain Leftists insist that dems don't do enough for the working class. I'd argue theyve done quite a bit at the (very difficult) federal level, and they've been politically punished for it every single time.

Dems got absolutely demolished in the midterms after the ACA passed, and the GOP has been chipping at it ever since it passed. States have kept voting to expand Medicaid which shows the ACA was absolutely a viable policy long term, but when it first passed I cannot emphasize how badly routed they were.

Under Bidens admin, the child tax credit extension lifted millions of kids out of poverty, earnings for the lowest earners saw greater gains than anyone else, he got billions of dollars in student loans forgiven, and Dems passed the IRA and CHIPS acts which aimed to address climate change but also create tons of jobs in economically sluggish areas. The Biden admin got absolutely no credit for any of this. There's no reason to believe any admin will attempt anything like these measures again, because at the end of the day being a politician is a job and there's no point in advocating for policies that will cost you your job.

If the left genuinely wants change, we need to start politically rewarding behaviors we want to see continue instead of endlessly criticizing improvements that fall short of absolute perfection.

One thing the analysts back in 2012 were right about is that they’d stop calling it “Obamacare” the second it started working and lo and behold anytime it was actually threatened under Trump it became The ACA and now Leftists who were in Kindergarten when the ACA was passed think Democrats have added nothing to this country.

president zelenskyy is a stronger man than me because if two ignorant and deluded men like trump and vance started demanding i say please and thank you and calling me disrespectful like im a naughty child instead of a very traumatised and frustrated man trying to save his country from putin id have put them both in the ground with a single fucking punch

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

i am very willing to be a scold about the "i'm just a girl" stuff tbh. you're a person, sorry. you can make decisions and take responsibility for them. you're an agent. a subject with infinite dignity. etc.
