Just because it isn’t capable of causing any meaningful change doesn’t mean it’s useless.
I see a lot of folks on .ml and .hexbear not understand this part. It’s like all change must be meaningful, and if it’s not then it’s not worth our time.
Lenin taught us that we need to build within the system of the masses in order to tip them over, not overturn it outright. There is a specific time and place for when change is the most impactful
As an engineer, tell that to my seat-flattened ass Tim Apple.
Companies that use AI in production are sewing the seeds of their own demise.

Thanks for clearing up the misinfo
One of their largest bridges collapsed because of a weakness in the bridge’s foundation that I think involved a landslide. You know, landslides, which can be seldom predicted ahead of time given climate change changing rainfall patterns that challenge engineers’ “100-year records”.
The Chinese also figured out that the bridge was going to collapse ahead of time, so they evacuated all motorists. Don’t think there were any casualties.
When was the last bridge collapse in the US? IIRC, it was the one near NY/NJ where a tanker/barge ran into a foundation column. How can you predict that? And how many people died as a result?
These things happen. The difference between China and the US is how well both governments react to adversity.
Is this what New York has?
Ngl, been waiting to see more back and forths from the both of you!
We have to break through liberals’ woke mind virus someday /s
whether 18 year olds are adults
Some would say that holds true until well into people’s 20s
Yeah this seems like cruel and unusual treatment for the dog.
At least with average pet standards in the US, owners take pets for walks, bring pets to playdates with others, take pets to the vet regularly for check ups, etc
I don’t see this story any different from Maxwell using this puppy for emotional support. There’s nothing wrong with that, so long as the animals has its rights upheld. Don’t think puppies can do this much in jail.
You and I agree on that!
Imagine a DSA-NC
Because there are currently Democrats that haven’t caved to donor pressure?
but they ended up controlling everything anyway
Republicans have been completely aligned since Trump came into office. Democrats instead have had spoiler candidates that have almost completely ruined their plans in the Biden Admin.
We should be focused on primary-ing out the moderates and establishment candidates in the party. Yes the DNC always has the ability to shut shit down as they did in 2016 with Bernie, but if the movement is strong enough, I wager that won’t matter.
chose not do do it
Bernie got snubbed by the DNC in 2016??? Hello?
And Biden capitulated to Bernie in 2020 by adopting his policies, only later abandoning them like an asshole.
Bernie has rarely chosen at any point NOT to change the system.
How did the Greens work out?
I agree that FPTP is shit and we need something different. Most Americans are too loyal, stupid, or apathetic to care about a random 3rd party on the ballot.
We need name brand recognition with people, and you do that will the Democrats. What we also need is a coalition of progressives in the Dems that actively politick about working class issues like Bernie Sanders to counter the moderates.
Third party won’t work in a FPTP system.
We can pass RCV in local elections across the country, but progressive Dems need to work within the party lines to get shit done.
And he is a 3rd party: Democratic Socialist.
And when two parties exist in a FPTP system, with one being extremely regressive, Americans expect the other party to be equally progressive in their approach!
Instead, as with the Rachet Effect, the Dems can’t onboard progressivism because they’re captured by corporate donors and consultants.
Primary 'em out!
Some think it was Trump’s threat of removing the filibuster
Never underestimate the Dems’ ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Anything to cope, and bury rebellion assent
