Is the implication here that the situation would be different if the roles were reversed?

Is this more liberal “when they go low, we go high” bs?

The issue here being wealth inequality. A problem where the conservatives and liberals have the same solution.

There are certainly mechanisms that can change this. Step one is admitting liberalism has become a caustic ideology to the majority of Americans.

The difficulty is convincing 14m Americans of this.

Quick, what’s tomorrow’s winning numbers?

I want to live in your reality.

Yes and, labor unions have foregone bonuses in moments like that. The working class has had to pry those bonuses back.

I don’t think contracts are as rigid as most people would imagine. Especially if the rank and file vote not to collect on the bonus.

The math do be mathing though.

Dubois: I don’t think that’s–

Riley: I see piss coming, I move.

Huey: mmm

Riley: She saw piss coming, she stayed.

Dubois: Yes, she did, but–

Riley: And why should I have to miss out on the next R. Kelly album! Just for that?!

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. I love the work Lina Khan is doing. Its going to be so sad when Kamala gives her the boot :(

I would categorize them as conservative institutionalists. Which, in my opinion, the liberals have an easier time appealing to them ideologically.

Electorally thats a benefit and, thats the minimum we need against fascists right now.

Televise this, just as Carlin intended.

If I’m remembering it correctly, Its a manifestation of Legion’s darker side that the shadow king is trying to release.

Yeah, exactly
