I really hate that we keep thinking the media is "on our side." The Media is all controlled by billion dollar interests. They run interference to keep the 99% fighting themselves and not the actual threat - the billion dollar interests that control the media and their colleagues. The media is just another tool in class warfare.

That third arm penis must be nice.

It's why I'm here! Reddit and their IPO can suck it. Started looking for a replacement and found Lemmy. I always think of the Koopa kid, though.

Republicans want to privatize every public work. USPS isn't supposed to turn a profit. It's supposed to be a public good that is sold at cost so we all benefit. It used to be subsidized.

Republicans want to turn it into a new industry a la UPS, FedEx, etc, so it'd cost way more to send a letter. The love of money is the root of all evil. It's also the root of the Republican party.

Gimme those Geocities sites that use "marquee" . Put that shit right in my veins.

We continue to allow shitbirds to shit on us. These guys rule the world and instead of turning them into candles we continue to let them darken our world.

That fucking guy is a true a piece of shit.

As a fellow Kentuckian, I agree with this sentiment. A white Republican probably would have won. I don't think abortion mattered like the news thinks it did.

I do think Democrats are grooming Rocky Adkins to run after Beshear. If Beshear does a good job, Adkins can win as a Democrat. He can pull Eastern Kentucky on his name, plus the cities. So Democrats might keep the governorship for a while and that might help break the gridlock in the state. Just my two cents.

Democracy only dies if we let it. If it comes down to it, we may have no choice, but to fight the nazis or join their ranks. I've made my peace, I have a plan in place. I truly hope we don't see him re-elected, but we have to be ready if he is.

There is no such thing as "liberal" media. All media is owned by corporation that is piloted by a billionaire. Who's ideas do you think they match up to? That's right, Conservatives. Because billionaires can get anything they want, laws are to keep us poors in check. Our whole system is run by oligarchs and we are all fighting "the media" instead of fighting those pricks.

I'm really dumb. Can you expand on vertical integration and how it corrupts? I'm not sure what it is or why it's bad.
