Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

"Alt-left" is a term made up by angry centrists trying to find a reason to insinuate people who are mean to them on Twitter for having bad opinions are racist

Also it says a lot about the state of the Dem party and the country that someone just officially announced a Presidential campaign and we're talking about Freddie DeBoer :v:

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

alt-left is a thing, sorry

you can choose to screech about it defensively as possible and start drawing lines again in the sand for purity's sake or make fun of it

i think i will go with the latter imo

look it's not to hard to get something salvageable from here

Instead of tax credits for companies that create good paying jobs, how about we create tax penalties (and guillotines) for companies that create low paying jobs.

That's something we can work with.

I like how a certain segment of the population seems to have responded to the era of Trump and Pizzagate with their own set of wild and patently false conspiracy theories. I still can't get over how Mensch was published in NYT.
