chitoryu12 posted:Am I the only one who doesn't have a problem with this? It doesn't look like she's saying "We need to send all the kids back to work so they don't become poor." She's demanding that we find a way to repay everyone who's at risk of being left impoverished and that "You all just need to go home without pay to avoid spreading the virus" without any attempt at making up for their lack of work is just going to get them into the idea of reopening the economy and letting people die like Trump wants. Oh thank God, that's how I read it as well and I was terrified that the brain worms had gotten to me and I was missing something super obvious to everyone else like an entire tweet of racist slurs or whatever.

She is, at best, promoting a false dichotomy. This is the most charitable reading of her tweets.

As someone who was at one point very familiar with Marcotte's work, T-man has the right of it. She's always tended towards an us vs. them framing to add some shock value to liberal positions. It was a little more tolerable when she was younger and didn't soften the attack for  reasons.

Unless she is offering some alternative (which as far as i can tell she really isn’t) then this is no different than saying just go back to work. She is just kind of sad about it i guess? Which is the liberal mindset to a tee

How is saying "they can't go back to work, and we need to think of a way to make sure this doesn't destroy their lives" anything at all like telling them to go back to work? At worst you can say that this is a tepid, obvious take.

The Democratic Party is nothing more than a gentler, more polite, more -focused arm of the New Nazi Party, AKA, the Republican Party. America has two right-wing parties and that's it.
