  • great article that really sums up what the fuck happened in this election

    The US economy is currently experiencing strong growth, low unemployment, and rising wages - the “stuff of economists’ dreams.” However, this macroeconomic success has not translated into broad prosperity. Beneath the surface, many workers are struggling with rising costs of living, debt, and declining real wages, especially for low-income households. While the top income brackets thrive, the bottom 40% now account for just 20% of all spending, leading to a deeply unequal and unstable economic recovery. This disconnect between headline economic indicators and the lived experiences of many Americans led to discontent that was reflected in the 2024 election, with voters citing the economy and immigration as key factors. The Democratic Party’s focus on macroeconomic performance failed to address the deeper social and economic crises faced by working-class voters, including inflation, job insecurity, and rising costs. The left must confront these issues head-on, rather than dismissing them or resorting to nostalgic historical analogies. Rebuilding a broad and solidaristic left politics will require grappling with the contradictions within the right’s fragile coalition, as well as the ways that racism, misogyny, nativism, and other forms of oppression intersect with economic precarity. It is not enough to simply call for “bread and butter” policies; the left must work to mobilize people on different ideological terrain, forging a culture of solidarity that can challenge the uneven terrain of contemporary capitalism.

    they built another deathstar right? the first one was completed and fully operational before the rebels destroyed it and the second one was still being built when it was blown up

    the first death star was manned by the imperial army only people on board were stormtroopers dignitaries imperials so when they blew it up no problem evil punished

    the second time around it was not even done being built yet was still under construction job of that magnitude would require a hell of lot more manpower than the imperial army had to offer

    bet they brought in independent contractors in on that thing plumbers aluminum siders roofers

    in order to get built quickly and quietly they would hire anyone to do the job you think the average stormtrooper knows how to install a toilet main

    all they know is killing in white uniforms

    all those innocent contractors brought in to do job are killed casualties of a war they had nothing to do with

    alright look you’re roofer some juicy government comes your way you got a wife the two kids in suburbia

    this is a government contract with all sort of benefits and along come these left wing militants and blast everything in a three mile radius with their lasers

    they did not ask for that they had no personal politics they were just trying to scrape out a living
