Read: There’s no peaceful solution. Fascism in America has already reached critical mass. Start organizing before it’s too late.

No, it gets money; it evidently does not get votes.

the political machine we’re building to combat the Trump administration will flatten the DNC old guard pretty handily.

Except no such thing exists. MAGA hasn’t created any meaningful surge in independent progressive (let alone genuine leftwing) politics; it’s only compelled the center left to close ranks with the center against the rising tide of the far right. There’s zero momentum for “flattening the old guard;” if you want to do that you’ll have to actually try.

And anyone who didn’t vote for Harris over Palestine has now not only doomed the Palestinians,

I keep seeing liberals saying this, but it’s just not true. There’s no metric by which Trump is worse on Palestine than Biden (and by extension Harris, who has was virtually indistinguishable from him on the issue). As for everyone else, what, did you think Harris was going to do anything for poor Americans and minorities? Jk she wouldn’t have done (or been able to do) shit because centrists kill down ballot elections. More fundamentally, though, fascism was inevitable under the political status quo; the choice was between fascism now and fascism later. If meaningful change doesn’t come from the left, people will look for it on the right; thinking 2025 was fluke is nothing short of delusional.

So now the left, the right and everyone in between dislikes you and doesn’t trust you.

I wish, but liberals will defend him to the death.

Science has yet to uncover what it is about Trump that makes liberal politicians so weak in the knees.

Yeah fair enough.

Great, more of that please. Relevant:

It’s the most critical education period a child will ever go through.

Really? I thought preschool education was optional, why is it so important?

I mean, it has. The history of liberalism is the history of the 1% violencing the bottom 50% into submission.

You don’t need more than that.

Counterpoint: Homes in many places cost more than that. Retirement too. There’s a good cutoff for a wealth maximum, but 1 million ain’t it.

Tankies are gonna tankie, that’s nothing new. There are plenty of leftists siding with the Iranian revolutionaries on Lemmy, so what the OP says (that leftists in general are silent on Iran) is false. Unless they’re specifically talking about tankies, but nowhere do I see them making that distinction.

Aren’t women’s pants (other than leggings) with pockets very rare? How do you even have enough of a sample size to draw conclusions about this? Besides, women who decide (or never got to decide) against getting pants aith pockets wouldn’t complain about the pockets, would they?

I’ll take things that never happened for 10 bucks.

ICE don’t care about the law, as evidenced by everything they’ve done ever.

That’s a fair point, I could’ve said that in a less condescending way, but “customers don’t know what they want” is an important piece of the puzzle here.

I mean, customers not knowing what they want is a thing. When someone says “I’d like it if this thing had that functionality,” they’re not necessarily considering all the externalities that might make their preference less desirable. What women have now sucks, but according to a large majority the alternative sucks even more, so the status quo persists.

I mean sure, that’s why I said “most women” and not “all women.” There is real demand for women’s pants with pockets, but (especially after the more committed folks buy unisex or men’s pants) the scale isn’t enough to sustain a large business. That aside, do cargo pants not work if you want pockets?

I mean, you have massive protests all over Iran. I’d say that’s enough.

This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn’t belong here.
