Something to keep in mind is Lula actually did do some of the things people on here are very confident in like prosecuting Jair Bolsonaro and restricting social media to try and staunch the far-right propaganda. It appears to have mattered little

there is a strain of lefty discourse where you can’t come to any unflattering conclusions about the populace—those must be explained away by how they are being acted upon by capital—but I think you’ll understand things better if you understand capital can also exploit weaknesses it didn’t create

it's entirely possible for americans to have a lot of angst about what our government is doing, recognize that they have extremely limited power to change it, and want to feel joy and pride about a soccer team, it's fine, demanding an explanation that reconciles all of this is unreasonable

this is catastrophically untrue, and the fact that it's even come close to picking up currency on the left is a complete disaster for leftist governance. if you expropriated the entire wealth of every billionaire in the country, you could pay for the federal government for one year. that's it.

as someone on SNAP it has been so frustrating that I could never take advantage of the most cost efficient loss leader item also very frustrating that deli sections often have the exact same food but cold as the hot section right next to it but I can only buy the cold one bsky.app/profile/apne...

I dont have an opinion on Kamala Harris running again but this post from the other site is really funny for how wrong it is, lmao I dont think this has literally ever been how it works? Biden ran 4 times, Stevenson was the losing nominee twice in a row, Nixon lost and then won 8 years later, etc.,

Axiochrono

What annoys me about Kamala 2028 discourse is that until recently there was a general understanding that you had one chance to run for president and that was it. Nobody was debating if Romney should run in 2016.

Kamala had her chance. If she runs I hope she loses the primary.

IMO this is key. The last shutdown ended because Ds got spooked when SNAP payments were in danger. Warnock, who'd been amazing on ACA payments said "how can I weigh health care against food?" By separating out DHS, we mute that. SSI and Section 8 won't be on the line. We're focused squarely on DHS.

I think Democrats should claim that they're going to make immigration tougher, and then simply describe a better version of system when asked about it. Polling consistently shows that the public wants to get tougher, and also that their version of tougher is *weaker than the actual system now.*

I had an old post on Twitter about this. The US spends about 18% of its GDP on the social safety net and 3.5% on military. Germany spends about 24-25% of its GDP on the social safety net and 2% on the military. Our military spending is not why they can have nice things or why we don't.

We cannot let this president drag us into more endless wars that risk the lives of American service members and civilians abroad. The attack last night on Venezuela was unnecessary and unauthorized. The President’s actions are reckless and illegal.

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

From a Bluesky post on which the author chose to disable quote-tweets (fair enough, and I wouldn't quote it if I weren't complimenting it: "Instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters.""

🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge in Rhode Island rules from the bench that the Trump admin **must** pay SNAP benefits. "The court is orally ordering that USDA must distribute the contingency money timely or as soon as possible for the November 1 payments to be made." Story to come.

This is something I struggle with - The GOP simply doesn't want government to work, so anything that gums up the works of government like DOGE or the shutdown is a plus for them. How do you negotiate with someone with a gun to their head who wants to pull that trigger?

Trump is saying if Democrats don't bend the knee and let him take health care away from millions, he's just going to turn around and inflict pain by firing American workers and withholding funding from our communities. That’s not governing. That’s a wannabe king taking hostages.

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.
