        Unironically, yes, they can’t govern and are sick of it, they have much more fun and get much higher ratings when they’re in opposition and not in control.

      Literally just pro China propaganda, they are doing exactly what they did in Minnesota and California, they are funneling your tax dollars to foreign anti-American bad actors.

      And the data center thing wether you agree or not is still bad for America AI competitiveness making it good for China.

      No such thing as a free lunch literally they can call it whatever they want but it is actually for advancing China Interests.

          Fortunately* you don’t live in Wisconsin.

          Born and raised there; a DSA governor is a fucking fantastic step in the right direction. I’ll mention her to my family but…

          Wisconsin is the south of the north. I regularly drove past a Confederate flag. Milwaukee is the most segregated city in the US (or was, havent checked recently) and the GOP leans into that with a lot of ugly rhetoric.

          This article is getting a little long in the tooth but is a quality deep dive into some of the very thinly veiled (or outright) systemic racism in Wisconsin.

          Also; rural Grindr made me sad for queer men raised in that environment, including myself.

            I just wanted to know that your last statement brought me a bit of comfort today, thank you. I’ve been feeling a bit isolated here, since, well, ever, but was never able to make it out yet :/ I’m not that rural, but anywhere outside of Milwaukee or Madison is pretty bleak.

    I’m beginning to wonder if someone more left leaning has infiltrated fox. The boss say “put together a hit piece on the demonrat”, “sure thing boss” says our mole, before turning over this graphic. To the boss it look great, surely no one could support this! To everyone less poisoned, it looks a lot more enticing.

      It’s always funny when Fox puts up radical left wing policies like taxing billionaires and supporting families and then have to scramble to take them down because even Fox viewers read them and think they sound like a good idea.

      Yes! I’ve been thinking the same thing. This was posted yesterday, and the lurker part of my brain said “surely someone else has already had this idea”. So I checked all the comments, but it wasn’t there. Then the lurker said “they’ll say it soon, and in better words”. And it was right!

      Anyway, thanks!

        That said, US politics is so bad that this platform is legitimately further left than like 95% of electeds. If this candidate is a Democrat it’s likely that her own party will favor a candidate to her right in primary and if she beats them, possibly still not throw their weight behind her in the general.

        Remember that the leader of the Democratic party is basically a domestic spokesperson for Israel and refuses to acknowledge support the most popular politician in his own party.

      Yeah our country has taxes too low to provide necessary services. Like across the board. Yes, we spend too much on cops, prisons, and war, but we have needs and uncontroversial wants that we can’t fund without higher taxes or ever increasing debt.

        Some other literal socialist institutions that are far left:

        • libraries
        • parks
        • postal service
        • public universities
        • museums
        • hospitals
        • healthcare
        • the military

        This isn’t a far-left policy. This is FDR Democrats.

          The postal service has been turned into a junk mail distribution system and there is nothing citizens can do to stop it. It’s infuriating.

          Oh and do not be fooled into paying $8 to $9 to companies claiming they can stop the junk mail, that’s a HUGE SCAM.

            The one thing you CAN do, and it’s FREE is to place a FREE freeze on your credit file with the following: Experian Equifax Transunion Chexsystems Lexisnexis

            These leeches are required by law to provide a free method to freeze access to your credit file. They don’t make it easy to find, and bury it under their paid “premium” offers, usually in a plain-text link at the bottom of the page.

            Once you do this, those pre-approved credit cards will stop cold. This will increase your credit score every month, as each one is a “soft inquiry” on your file, costing you thousands over time in higher interest rates, denied credit, and denied leases/rental. It also helps slow down identity theft.

            Do this for your kids’ social security numbers as well. Those are prime for theft.

            My issue is the classification of these particular items being far-left is a failure of what the far-left. Depending on what you consider socialism, this would be it or a conciliation to the ruling class.

        It’s not far-left because it does not restrict a citizen’s own right to run a for-profit grocery store. She only wants the state to run its own grocery stores. I hope I’m wording this right.

        Depending on one’s definition, as the store being owned by the government is still having a state apparatus which isn’t anarchism or communism
