  • You definitely shouldn’t critically analyze any of the positions aoc has held since being elected because then you would be a tankie /s

    In short, this is exactly who aoc is. She has been the party mainstream for years and exists to funnel left wing voters back into the democratic party.

    This was always her position in the party. No need to be bought out or manipulated. This is her role.

    How she still has any credibility as a “leftist” after this is mind boggling















  • Add in the fact that most welfare literally requires you to remain under a poverty threshold to continue receiving those meager benefits and you get the results we have. If you are disabled and receive disability payments you cannot work or you lose your coverage. There is an income cap of something insane like $1000/month for disability recipients. Its a deliberately evil system that forces families to divorce their sick spouse simply to allow them the access to insurance benefits they otherwise would be disqualified from.

    How can anyone honestly recover from that? You make $1 more this month and the half of your income that paid for food and rent is gone, now youre worse off than someone on welfare just because you “arent poor enough.” Its like the exact myth they tell about tax brackets only it actually exists and happens to people in real life all the fucking time.


  • The way restricted mode works is by effectively shadowbanning any content that isnt for kids

    You wouldn’t notice it unless you go side by side on an account with restricted mode and look at the list of videos on a channel to directly compare what shows up on vs what is unavailable on the restricted account.

    A creator like linus who exclusively makes content “for the algorithm” would know if it was just an update to the blackbox. He is also deliberately ignorant of politics and the world around him so it would be significantly LESS surprising if he didnt know about restricted mode or that it would affect his “non-political” content.

    The political youtubers I’ve seen have made posts about entire playlists being unavailable on restricted accounts. Its actually a pretty big deal, honestly.
