I thought it was weird they gave her a behind camera job when she was so clearly good at being a presenter. To me it seems like Linus felt threatened or jealous of how much the audience liked her.

Proud of her for going public. I've faced a lot of the same bullcrap in the workplace as a guy, I can only imagine how miserable it is with gendered harassment on top of it.

Fine naive then if you find that less insulting. You are Charlie Brown trying to kick the football and the Dems are Lucy snatching the ball and making you look like a fool.

The Dems couldn't even protect abortion rights. I don't know if you noticed but things have been going backwards. The problem is capitalism and you can't fight it from within. Dems are a lost cause and you are actively hurting those who want real change by directing their anger into an institution that doesn't give a shit about anything but their donors. You are delusional my brother and I hope one day you will see it.

Those voter suppression tactics are 2 capitalist parties arguing over whose rich donors are gonna get kickbacks. Not any meaningful change.

You are literally just making excuses for doing nothing.. exactly as I thought. If voting changed anything they would make it illegal.

Form a labor union, join a leftist org, start a mutual aid network for your community. Literally ANYHING beyond just mindlessly yelling about voting.

If you think I was trying to tell you to pick up a weapon and charge at the govt you truly haven't thought about anything beyond the box.

If this is a bit it's a pretty funny one.

"Go Vote!" Rings more and more hollow every day we have watch the country crumble. I am begging you to think outside the box of electoral politics because it is where dreams go to die.

Nobody voted to put kids to work at meatpacking plants and we will almost assuredly not be allowed to vote on a solution but there are children suffering dangerous jobs right now. The capitalists that run the country do not care about your votes they care about profits and they have so many more resources than us to tip things in their favor.

Voting has not and never will be enough. It is literally the bare minimum you can do and you should not pat yourself on the back for it.

Can confirm. I am sitting on so many rubles right now it's crazy. You are definitely not the victim of a thought terminating brainworm.
