Democrats are NOT left of center and believing this is political Stockholm syndrome.
Our “far-left” (Bernie/Squad) are firmly centrist when compared to the rest of the world’s liberal democracies.
Universal healthcare, for example, is a purely centrist position everywhere else.
Basic social programs to prevent mass death, poverty, and starvation are what the rest of the world rightly understands as the most basic functions of a government.
The U.S. is an oligarchy with a singular mission to maintain the world economy at any human cost.
Grow up pls.

So... my neighbor in the apt next door just blatantly stole two of my packages, he even went downstairs to grab the second one because the first one was so big.
He's older, so I just popped over like "Hey, I think you may have grabbed my packages by mistake."
He goes, "No."
And look, here's my dilemma: this dude is weird, but also the best neighbor I've ever had; dead silent, never complains about the noise level (I record a VO show that requires me to shout at full volume), and has his windows blacked out, so I have the entire fire escape to myself

In light of VICE dying, I myself just discovered that NowThis News quietly wiped out every video we ever made at Discovery (they merged in 2017).
Well over 1,000 really well produced explainers with like a combined total of 1 billion views just *gone*.
Honestly insane.
That was like, my entire work history from 2013 - 2018, videos that went insanely viral and were still bringing in thousands of dollars a month - just scrubbed from the internet, there isn’t even any record they ever existed.

We know that @elonmusk is pushing right-wing propaganda to our feeds intentionally, but here’s is a perfect example that disproves his “everyone gets a voice” nonsense.
This is the first tweet on my “For You”feed, a brand new, very low engagement tweet from Ben Shapiro.
I obviously do not follow Ben Shapiro, I don’t interact with his account, & none of my mutuals have interacted with this tweet.
There is zero reason it should be algorithmically pushed to me.
Conversely I have NEVER seen a leftist account I don’t follow pushed to my feed.
