  • Not all the people who didn’t vote for Harris are Trump supporters; there are a lot of leftists and progressives who believe that they can’t survive any more late-stage capitalism. They recognize that the only peaceful chance to stop the wealthiest 1% from ruling is to stop electing them and stop electing the people who are bought by them.

    Corporate democrats are better on certain social issues but they’ll still put wealth over people, and they’ll never move left. It’s why we have the cruel health system we have today. It’s why the banks got bailed out and never got regulated. It’s why the Digital Millennium Copyright Act passed. Heck, 81 Congressional house democrats just voted for a military spending bill that denies medical care to trans kids.

    Kamala Harris is a corporate democrat.


  • The narrow focus on whether a Big Mac costs 15 cents more, and if it does, shouldn’t you yell at the people behind the counter, is a distortion, and a tired one, that should have been retired long ago.

    I don’t live in California but where I live prices jumped up about 30-40% since Covid. Given that a meal now costs between $12-15, along with the fact that workers are just as apathetic as ever (and honestly, why shouldn’t they be, given the way they are treated), I have stopped eating at McDonalds and most other fast food places.






  • That’s when you hope your state has a bureau of insurance or something similar that you can complain and appeal to, and then hope that the person assigned to your case isn’t prejudiced against the procedures in question, such as reproductive care or trans-related care, or isn’t prejudiced against you for being pretty much any minority.

    What a mindfield to navigate when we’re at our most vulnerable.

    I used a bicycle in a Walgreens pharmacy drive though for the whole summer, and then one day a manager told me they won’t serve me there anymore because of “safety reasons”.

    What they meant was for their safety, from liability, like if a car hit me.

    I don’t use Walgreens for prescriptions anymore.
