What's the name of the fallacy where leftists think that surely if the Democrats had just done X thing, then they would've won, rather than the reality that the only reason the Democrats did as well as they did was because we did the things we actually did? Every single reason leftists bring up as the reason Harris lost would've resulted in a much worse loss.

Can I also point out how intellectually insulting it is to have the people who actively try to sabotage you also lecture you on how you could have succeeded? It’s like if someone poured gasoline all over your house and then, after the fire, went “stupid fucking liberals don’t know how to build a house 🙄 Should’ve listened to me”

And it's sickening because so much of the development of HIV medicine has been publicly funded. We fucking paid for this research dozens of times over; without that public funding there would be almost nothing new for pharmaceutical companies to ransom I mean sell in the first place.

They're trying so hard to make this a culture war thing instead of a class consciousness moment.

God, be with the people in Gaza, hold them in your light.

Where is the International protection the Palestinian people is entitled to when the occupying power violates international law and harms those it is obliged to protect. Aren't Palestinians lives worth saving?

Defamation lawsuits in UK are heavily weighted in *favor* of the plaintiff. You have to have a pretty weak case to lose over there. If there wasn't a rabbid, inescapable social media campaign against Amber Heard, he would have lost in America too.

reblogging this again because it SHOULD cost money we SHOULD be pouring tax dollars into it and sending letters should be FREE and packages should be LOW COST and FAST because we SUBSIDIZE with community money.

I swear to God there's a whole swath of people in the US who will not REST until we're all charged by the minute for the water we drink, the air we breathe, and every blink we take.

Stop coming for the USPS. Not only is it self-funded as mentioned above, but "it's not profitable" should NEVER be an argument against services that support basic needs. We should be working toward making things like public transit, healthcare, utilities, etc. entirely free-to-use via government funding, not arguing to whittle things down for not being Amazon-esque-enough.
