It’s not lost on me that Bernie Sanders is the only mainstream politician touring the country rn listening to Americans’ concerns, giving them hope that a better world is still possible. Not campaigning for President, not an election year, just inspiring swing town voters to use their power to incite change in their communities.
Bernie is 83yo, doing the work that every single Democrat could be doing simply in their own district. He’s packing overflow rooms by the thousands in suburban and rural towns, not “democratic strongholds”. It is possible to get through the next four years but the status quo Dems aren’t going to make that happen.
Imagine what a true progressive party could do for the US. Leftist policy is popular and wins elections. Bernie and others have told us this for decades. If you tuned out his message before, I have to wonder what side you’re truly on. Because his shtick has not wavered with everyday Americans.
Not me, us.

Btw, privatization is stealing from *you.* You are the public in "publicly owned." Oligarchs are coming in to take the things we all share ownership of as Americans, like Medicare, Social Security, National Parks, PBS and scrapping them for parts they find profitable.
The right is planning to rob us and quite literally want us to thank them for the privilege by calling it "government efficiency."

On April 8 we celebrate the death of Margaret Thatcher, and remember all the lives she destroyed.

i just need everyone to understand why no one takes vote scolding seriously and why there is so much animosity towards Joe Biden and the Democrats from those on the left who hold him responsible for not only failing to address the self inflicted "immigration crisis," but blatantly giving in to baseless Republican fear-mongering re: rising immigrant crime.
they quite literally provided an even more cruel foundation for Trump to build on, and due to this, they can no longer make a genuine claim to be pro-immigration.
by this i mean they normalized the narrative so much that the Democratic party has totally shifted it's view on immigration, leading TODAY to the bipartisan celebration and passage of the horrifying Laken Riley Act, which Trump will likely sign as his first piece of legislation. this bill, among other terrible shit, effectively eliminates due process for immigrants and threatens it for everyone.
this is why no one listened to your vote scolding then. this is why no one listens to you now while you join Democrats in blaming third-party voters, Palestinians, transgender people, and leftists for an entire political party's failure to sufficiently address people's rapidly declining material conditions. this is why no one will listen to you in the future while you sit on the sidelines yelling cynical platitudes at people working to actually make the world better.

When I say "We didn't used to call it 'neoliberalism' when I was a kid, it was just common sense", understand that I'm not saying "Neoliberalism is good and I miss the pre-lapsarian days of youth when people just accepted self-evident 'truths' about the efficiency of the private sector," or whatever; I'm saying "'Common sense' is hegemonic and informed by the interests of power, and the fact that huge numbers of people are even in a position to question neoliberalism now means that capital's grip on power has actually weakened considerably since the 1990s and that's good."

Imagine what neoliberal propaganda articles look like in various evil empires.
"Women in Sauron's army. How female orcs have helped create a more inclusive global conquest." - The Mordor Examiner
"How the death star program is revitalizing the galactic economy." - The Coruscant Times
"Despite progressive cries to "Free Arrakis" situation with House Harkonnen more complicated then most people think." - The Corrino Fund
"How the anti imperial rabbit hole can easily lead to people to pro choas views." - Ultramar Today

In light of the conservative philosophy that "cuts = efficiency", consider:
A skeleton is not a more "efficient" body.
All other parts are needed for it to function.
Even "foreign bodies" live in symbiosis to form the flora on our skin and in our guts. Protecting us from infection and helping us better digest food. They are part of the body.
Even just bone and muscle is not enough when the means to sustain our energy needs are stripped out.
Reduction is not efficiency.

The neoliberal ideology of self-optimization displays religious - indeed, fanatical - traits. It entails a new form of subjectivation. Endlessly working at self-improvement resembles the self-examination and self-monitoring of Protestantism, which represents a technology of subjectivation and domination in its own right. Now, instead of searching out sins, one hunts down negative thoughts. The ego grapples with itself as an enemy. Today, even fundamentalist preachers act like managers and motivational trainers, proclaiming the new Gospel of limitless achievement and optimization.
