Vivek was on CNN saying that Ohio's vote said that they need more restrictions, not fewer (including somehow making laws that make men more "sexually responsible"???)

What a choad

On it's surface, the first part doesn't make any sense. If anything you would think the court victories would embolden the far right.

The second part is nonsense. Anti-Abortion legislation is an attack on women's rights, the GOP have zero interest in penalizing men. They think its unfair men don't get to control reproductive decisions now!

It's all part of a system that is not, and never has been a meritocracy.

Sure, there are instances where hard work and clever thinking gets you ahead, but mostly it's who you know, where you came from, what opportunities you had available, and a lot of good or bad luck on top of that.

Don't beat yourself up as long as you know who you are and what you're capable of. The systems of capitalism and business culture are designed to keep people like you fighting against members of their own class in the hopes that someday you can step on them to get a little bit ahead.

TC, I think you mean emotions like empathy, sadness, joy, and emotions not often associated with hyper-masculine stereotypes.

Of course this creates a whole problem with the concept of a God that is all good and all just, but also because of his omniscience and omnipotence... he literally created some humans to be tortured for eternity over crimes against him he knew they would commit within a finite lifetime.

It was a slur used to negatively stereotype Bernie Sanders voters as largely fringe misogynist white men. Actual demographics showed the largest constituent among supporters were women 18-49... something like that... you know, the exact ones that lost their right to choose thanks to the Obama/Biden administration's lack of concern when a SC seat was stolen, and then the election of Donald Trump after we were assured he couldn't possibly beat Hillary Clinton.

Candace Owens is a grifter and a sociopath, she has no stake in this issue and suffers no consequences from her audience of largely white racists who tune into her expressly for the purpose of affirming of their hatred toward African Americans and women.

Also super suspect after thinking abut how Candace contributed to the mental breakdown and public anti-semitism arc of Kanye West and defended Hitler publicly.

All that she wants is a little more mature in tone, and it has a mix of minor and major chords. That was their first song, The Sign came after and it kind of ruined them as a more serious act.

So now we see Phillips getting badgered by the people wondering why the only dude primarying Biden is even worse than him.

All the moderates and center right people hear from corporate media is "both sides" and "the extremes on both sides" and a lot of institutional and moneyed reinforcement of their positions from the members of the press they share class interests with.
