It will win her money though

Stocking the dairy section shortly before Christmas and the store is insane, like some aisles body to body. My u-boat tips over twice and I have to clean a bunch of broken dairy stuff (I'm vegan too so not a fan of actually touching dairy stuff). Then a special needs guy comes through the aisle and is telling his caregiver/aide he's gotta go the restroom but I think she was an immigrant so she either didn't understand him or she was just ignoring him. A few seconds after he passes by the smell hits and I see poop fall out of his pants. It keeps falling out as he walks down the aisle and around the corner.

I run to my supervisor who tells me to put wet floor cones around the poop so I grab as many cones as I can and set them out while she pages someone to clean it. I was gagging (it smelled really bad) so I went in the back for a minute to pull myself together. Then I go back out to see the supervisor and a coworker trying to ward customers away from the poop and the wall of cones but the customers keep stepping in or rolling through the poop with their carts. Multiple people moved or completely ignored the cones and then went through it despite it being brown poop on a white floor surrounded by yellow cones and was stinking up the whole aisle.

My supervisor tells me to post up in front of the biggest pile to ward off customers while she goes and finds someone to clean it so I stood there over a pile of shit for ten minutes trying to get the most clueless people in the world to stop being mesmerized by the treats for two seconds so they wouldn't step in the very clearly marked out shit. Like it's a wonder most customers can even make it to the store without getting hit by a bus or something

I'm gonna vote for that machine to electrocute their eyeballs too I think

First and foremost leftists should not abandon their positions on internationalism (or any other matter) to appease reactionaries. "Strategically" adopting reactionary positions alienates the actual progressive forces that support our effort and the reactionaries still aren't going to vote for you anyway (see Jamal Bowman recent loss).

The solution to immigration is to stop systemically impoverishing the global south through militarist or economic means (which forces people immigrate from their homelands) and to raise the labor standards of domestic industries that immigrants predominantly work in which would make domestic labor more attractive.

I agree. This is why I don't think white men should run this country so I won't be voting for one.

That debate upset libs more than tens of thousands of dead Palestinians in Gaza

Because they already have that list and don't care unless someone on it actually does something

Everyone seems to forget that the largest mobilization of the US masses ever happened that year and at least some of it (if not most) was co-opted by the Democrats. Literally millions of people in the streets being told they needed to vote for Joe or they supported police brutality and he only won by a small albeit comfortable margin.

I have no idea what they think is gonna happen this year when the only people that are in the streets are fervently opposed to the current administration.

RCV/instant runoff doesn't actually create opportunities for third parties either. Plenty of places use it and still have duopolies or single party rule. There's also fptp systems that have multiple parties engaged in government.

It's almost like political power doesn't flow from votes.

Proof that any self styled "progressive" has nothing to lose by completely opposing Zionist fascism. The Zionists will stab you in the back even if you support them. We can advance confidently knowing anyone that tries to tow a middle position on the issue is an opportunist.

This is exactly what management does when they think you're a pushover. The job is probably awful but they figure you'll take it and roll over for them and then they'll abuse you.

That is if they even give you the job in the first place. Sometimes they'll dangle management roles in front of employees too if they think it'll motivate you.
