yes, I did stop lurking specifically to post this screenshot about the dress

Also, since I don't see it talked about around here much, ATTENTION Kshama is currently in a recall fight with the recall vote (which will then trigger an election) coming up in a few months, consider donating to the solidarity campaign or phonebanking or some shit, I know some of you libs still volunteer for beto

    Kshama Sawant is getting screwed. There was a segment on komo recently about the recall that only interviewed people in favor of recalling her, and they all talked about the march to Durkans house. I don't believe any actual people care about that stuff, especially not any leftists, which the segment was clearly painting them as. It's working, too. My mom is super opposed to her, though she can't really articulate why. I couldn't change the channel or anything because I was about to get operated on and the remote was too far away. Pissed me off.

      Yeah its total bullshit, but that's to be expected when you're a committed marxist in office actively threatening and already towing concessions from the ruling class. But they can get fucked, the fight back has only just started, and the media doesn't mean a thing in the face of grass roots organizing

      also hope the operation went well comrade!

        God, I hope so. She's honestly one of the few things that gives me any amount of hope for the future. (And the operation went well, thanks.)

      Liberals can't imagine a politician actually doing something. She's just so terrible...

      One of my family members talked about how "she's only in it for herself/her career" and I was close to having a 1 on 1 and explaining how a communist party actually works lmao

      Starting to have second thoughts about the effectiveness of this whole electoralism thing
