Can you name one thing you think the Democrats did wrong? I mean people have the right to vote or not vote for whoever they want. That's kind of the point of a democracy. Isn't it a failure of the party and/or candidate if they didn't convince people to vote for them? You can point all day to voters but at the end of the day the party knew all this stuff and still didn't change their messaging to attract turnout.

The Democrats not once but twice lost to him. Who do you suggest we blame if not the candidates that lost?

Exactly. Withholding consumption is not where our collective power is. Withholding Labor is where our collective power is. These "consumer power" movements are so incredibly capitalist brained. Our working class is so brain rotted by capitalism that they can only think of "power in the hand of consumers" which is one of the biggest most obvious lies capitalist tell.

That's just not how our economy works. "Local" business is not making toilet paper from trees they cut down in their backyard.

I'm probably getting downvoted for this but I hate hate hate this "consumption is power" bull shit boycotts. Consumption is NOT power. LABOR is power. If you work at these large companies you have a million times more power and influence by organizing.

Boycott today if it makes you feel good. But it's so incredibly missing of the point that I have to assume it is purposely missing the point of collective power.

Your power is in your ability to withhold labor. Not withholding consumption for one day that you'll just buy the next day. Hell, if these planned organized single day boycotts, if they actually had an impact, would be a way to maximize profits to reduce labor requirements for those days. It's so silly.

Organize your workplace. That is where your power is!

So he's gonna push for a plan that all Zionist have been working towards for nearly a century now? I wonder if Israel will be ok with this. /s

~~It makes it usable without typing bash~~. Same would apply for a python script. For example you can make a python script named with no extension and add #!/usr/bin/python to the top of the file. Bash shell sees this and knows to execute the script using that python path.

Then you just include the directory in your $PATH and chmod +x the script. Then you can type $python_script instead of $python python_script.py

Other countries having our data is the least of our worries. I'm ready for China to become our new overlords if that's the only other option.

There is a reason he suddenly started bringing his little human shield with him everywhere. Suddenly he has a good relationship with his kid right after Trump got shot. I'm sure just a coincidence.
