The abolition of astrology as the illusory chart-nerding of women is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about the Zodiac is to call on men to stop being assholes.

Downsides of liberal politicians include the following:

By expanding education and scientific research, they make it more likely that humanity will ultimately develop AI and colonize space, which will vastly increase suffering.

Liberal politicians are more environmentalist and hence tend to increase wild-animal suffering.

I like how when challenged on the claim that Biden's platform is "the most progressive policy platform in human history" people responded by saying "oh yeah why don't you point to a more progressive Democratic Party platform then?"

as if the only humans in all of history are the presidential nominees of the American Democratic Party

quote:

Full employment—a guaranteed job for all—is the primary economic objective of the Democratic Party.

To create a system of "recession insurance" for states and localities to replace lost local revenues with federal funds in economic downturns, thereby avoiding reduction in public employment or public services;

Establish a system of universal National Health Insurance which covers all Americans with a comprehensive set of benefits including preventive medicine, mental and emotional disorders, and complete protection against catastrophic costs, and in which the rule of free choice for both provider and consumer is protected. The program should be federally-financed and federally-administered. Every American must know he can afford the cost of health care whether given in a hospital or a doctor's office;

Repeal of section 14(b), which allows states to legislate the open shop and remove the ban on common-sites picketing;

The federal government to fund comprehensive development child care programs that will be family centered, locally controlled and universally available.

To use the full faith and credit of the Treasury to provide direct, low-interest loans to finance the construction and purchase of decent housing for the American people; and

We are determined that our government must no longer tap the phones of law-abiding citizens nor spy on those who have broken no law.

Poor people, like all Americans, should be represented at all levels of the Democratic Party in reasonable proportion of their numbers in the general population. Affirmative action must be taken to ensure their representation at every level.

The federal government must protect the right of tenants to organize tenant organizations and negotiate collective bargaining agreements with private landlords and encourage the participation of the tenants in the management and control of all subsidized housing.

We can protect all people without undermining fundamental liberties by ceasing to use "law and order" as justification for repression and political persecution, and by ceasing to use stop-gap measures as preventive detention, "no-knock" entry, surveillance, promiscuous and unauthorized use of wire taps, harassment, and secret dossiers; and The problems of crime and drug abuse cannot be isolated from the social and economic conditions that give rise to them.

AOC is a lot like Natalie Wynne, insofar as I don't have whatever other people have in their endocrine system that lets them be mad at her every waking moment of every day.
