the biggest grift the isrealis pulled was convincing people that the conflict is somehow complicated

One of my friends is a Palestinian Christian and he constantly rants about Israel and its really funny because none of the standard attacks work on him at all and devolves into him saying of course he's angry the Israelis killed his relatives who lived their first

What I'm saying is we need to elect a bunch of palestinian christians to office because it'll be hilarious

the resources are there to support people wherever they care to live. distribute the resources where they're needed and otherwise shut the gently caress up bootlicker

One of the best things about ubi+jobs guarantee is you could spread people out to all those half dead towns of 100k people and less that have plenty of decaying housing stock, while simultaneously reducing the pressure on everyone in America to live in just twelve places to find a job and all driving prices up against each other

Where is the proof the Russian government hacked the dnc servers any way? The dnc refused to let anyone legitimate do forensics. There is no reason to believe it.

Skull.gif linked a pretty comprehensive blog on it in the Trump thread and the two most compelling points were that the bitly link used to phish podesta came from a logged in account used in other gru phishing, and also a lot of tracing Bitcoin purchases (which we know the feds are very into) for dnc hacking infrastructure back to gru

Those two took me to finally accept it was probably the ruskies although we'll never know for sure

they're not stupid, they're deliberately moving to the right because they're right wingers and would rather lose to the Republicans with a right-leaning centrist than win as with a progressive

Richard Wolff talked about public housing in Vienna recently; would we be able to remove the stigma of public housing in the US in conjunction with a public works style project to ensure availability of affordable/subsidized housing across the country? How would you do it? How would a liberal gently caress it up?

Could be good to have surplus units in the event of natural disasters.

Good news , once the supreme Court allows restrictive covenants based on race and religion public housing is gonna be back, baby

hamilton is absolutely a cultural phenomenon among rich libs on or offline. people will go to phenomenal lengths to get tickets to it and constantly talk about it like it's a religious experience and everything that Made America Already Great. idk about "performatively overreacting" to it, if anything it's more proportionate than e.g. the reaction to ozyfest which will be completely forgotten in like a month

I got insanely mad when a friend posted on Facebook the day after the election that she was so upset about Hillary's loss that she took the day off work to go see Hamilton to cheer up

they claim they found no evidence that they accessed secure systems (because they didn't actually look very hard). this is SOP for every group whose computers get penetrated, both government and corporate. just deny anything happened and hope it blows over, and only if it doesnt do you start looking

even the hillary campaign and DNC said there was no evidence the hackers had stolen anything sensitive right up until they started dumping everyone's emails, and the hack indictments now claim that they stole the DNC's internal analytics databases

Yeah but when they hacked Illinois' voter database they didn't change anything of note. It isn't like Trump won here

Of the top 6 predictit odds candidates she's the least succ after Bernie and Warren. Then it's probably... Booker , Harris Biden in that order. Don't know or care where klobuchar fits in

Gillibrand looks like she's trying to triangulate to the center of the Dem party (right of Warren, left of booker).
