That is liberal identity politics which everyone hates. Real leftists like Sanders and AOC have never said anything like that.

Advertising is absolutely morally reprehensible. It is propaganda that exists only to manipulate people into buying shit they didn't want or need. And it turns out that mindless consumerism is destroying society and our planet.
German conservatives formed a majority coalition with the Nazis in 1932. Conservatives have always sided with fascism over socialism and always will.
Partly. The DNC forcing Harris to adopt conservative talking points / abandon the Tim Walz progressive policies was also a massive blow to her base. You can't spend 8 years comparing Republicans to Nazis and then promise to put them on your cabinet and to continue their racist border policy. The DNC forced Harris to listen to donors over voters and this is the end result
Next you'll tell us Putin's Russia is as strong as ever
You're not completely wrong. There are many aspects of our system that are deeplh undemocratic: the way that the donor class gatekeeps who is able to run, the way politicians serve lobbyists and donors over the public will, and the way that oligarchs own 95% of our news media all create an environment where the interests of the people are not represented by our government
The supreme court and congress has put the executive branch in its place before.
The SC betrayed democracy with Citizens United and again when they gave Trump immunity for his countless crimes while in office. Don't forget that the SC openly take bribes from billionaires.
Voting against fascism doesn't make a person a liberal. Liberals suck, but fascists actually want us dead or in jail.
Do live in a housing co-op? Because those are the only rentals I know of that base their prices on actual costs rather than greed.
Cutting down the trees was out next biggest mistake. For example, the Europeans who colonized the US cut down 93% of the trees they found. They clear cut forests of giant oaks and blackwalnut trees. And we replaced all of that natural beauty with asphalt and endless urban sprawl.
But it seems when a company does the importing it doesn't count for some reason?
If lobbying is legal in your country then political representation is literally for sale which allows the rich buy to special privileges.
I was forced to work a few 24+ hour shifts in healthcare and working on zero sleep fucked me up. It gave me migraines, vomiting, insomnia, manic depression and I felt like I was going to have a heart attack.
It is beyond cruel and inhumane that employers can force people to work without sleep. It is so fucked that not allowing someone to sleep is considered a form of torture by the Geneva convention.
