People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Then thing is, as citizens we should be able to just live our lives. It's our job to vote, but it's the jobs of the people we vote into power to act on our behalf.
It's THEIR JOB.

I see a lack of a real fight from many dem leaders in response to the new admin, its alliance with big tech, its attacks on our migrant and trans communities, its attempts to end birth right citizenship are existential and unacceptable. We have to do more to fight back. Our words matter now too.

just the sheer entitlement of reaping the benefits of living in a prosperous city and closing the door behind you to juice the appreciation of your asset. if you want to live in a place that's frozen in time, sell your house and move to a rural area.

Since intelligence is not directly observable, it has often been deduced from observable behaviors that are taken to be signs of intelligence, like language use. But this may actually be empirically incorrect insofar as true intelligence is knowing when to keep your mouth shut.
