As with FDR's Fireside Chats in days gone by, all of America comes together on Sunday nights to read posts where the President of the United States is like "due to 'you know what' and Incidents pertaining to your favorite President (Me!), Hugh Jackman is as of this moment Null and Void in AMERICA."

We need a leftist Andrew Tate. We need a leftist Fox News. We need a casino where you don't gamble and they give you free money. I refuse to understand the ecosystem I'm in the center of and I will not leave or modify my behavior. We need leftist McNuggets

Look, I love these sites & I get how politics works & why they're doing it, but every single one makes exactly the same error universities have been making for years:

I love seeing all the upper middle class people on here in white collar positions being like “why isn’t a general strike happening right now?”
“I’m not a union member and I haven’t even looked into organizing my workplace, but I just can’t understand the apathy of organized labor”
