He Woke Up With A Brain Bleed And Two ICE Officers In His Room. He Still Doesn't Know Why.

This doesn't help. It's victim blaming. The marching is the effort. People only have access to what they see and what they hear. If there are no marches, then what most people only see and hear is a curated narrative by the billionaires. The marches show others they aren't alone. If you truly want a progressive uprising, stop being a dick, and encourage those who are trying to win back our country from fascists.

Another democratic socialist victory – Angie Nixon in Florida – sends shock waves through party establishment

Reply in thread

This attitude is a cancer to progressive reform. Vote for the candidate with the better policies and you will have progressive reform in this country. "Electability" is literally the only argument liberals have at this point for picking centrists over left flank candidates. If that argument actually had validity: the left flank candidate wouldn't have won the primary; and the "electable" candidates would have previously won. Is there one centrist dem a majority of people even like?

CBS’s Gayle King Floored By DSA Candidate’s Claim She Isn’t Familiar With Hasan Piker: ‘You Don’t Know Who He is?’

The liberals are trying to make an example out of Piker... To intimidate influencers, who typically rely on ads and support from the establishment to survive, from attacking the status quo. Piker doesn't do ads, relying on his subscriber base to fund his career. So they can't control his messaging with money, and are trying to do it by making him radioactive to the candidates he would support. The ultimate goal is to take away support provided by Piker for grassroots campaigns, so those candidates will have to toe the DNC line, or risk losing support from the establishment.

So regardless how you feel about Piker personally, or his views, it is clear he is trying to elevate progressive candidates so they don't have to compromise themselves for liberal support. We should all be supporting those efforts if we truly want to amplify a progressive political wave.

Chicken is the water of meat

Was trying to be objective about it. Water is inherently neutral in flavor. Anything that is less than neutral wouldn't be worth drinking. Now what that is will be different for each person.

Edit: also, i don't say anything about cooking or using a liquid....i said drinking it. Your critique is inapplicable.

The childhood propaganda game is strong for the US. Most of those people lived through the height of an empire, which further reinforced the propaganda they were fed in their youths. They see Trump as the only one that isn't too weak to keep the empire going.

So, Trump is grifting them. He's a snake oil salesman selling continued relevance with no sacrifice from his faithful. These people are unable to admit they are wrong and that their childhood history lessons were sanitized.
