    Therapy is not about talking to people, it’s about helping you be best version of yourself. About helping you help yourself. Instead of continue doing whatever you think you’re doing, with isolation and self harm and constant loathing.




  • Sanders lost both presidential primaries he was in. AOC is a member of House of Representatives. Sawant is on a city council. Mamdani is the only example in recent history of a progressive candidate beating a conservative candidate in direct primaries. I struggle to think of someone else from your “etc” list who also did that. Maybe there is someone. In any scenario, the list is very short.

    openly screwed him over

    “The sun was in my eyes” is also a good excuse. In any regard, he didn’t get the votes. The DNC was also in his eyes, but he didn’t get the votes, that’s what is important here. If he did, if he would get more votes than other candidates, the situation might be different, and the excuse that DNC didn’t go with him even though he’s more popular might hold the water, but that’s not what happened. What happened is he got less votes than other candidates.

    If you voted for Sanders at least as much as NY democrats voted for Mamdani (which is not that much actually, he barely got 10% more votes than the criminal he was against), the DNC would not be able to stop him, but you didn’t, so they didn’t even have to.



  • I mean, yeah. People who develop technologies don’t change the systems, and it’s very, very wrong if we ask them to. If you rely on technology company to come up with the system, hyperloop happens. Don’t let another hyperloop happen, don’t come to technology company for the change of the system.


  • That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that there are conservative democrats who prefer more conservative democrats over progressive anyone, and there are conservative republicans who don’t want to vote for Trump but wouldn’t vote for any progressives either. The work that demonstrates that is every single democratic primaries, and all the conservative ones.
    Also, I am explicitly not advocating for moving to the right, if you need me to spell it out. I don’t think it’s a good decision morally, and I don’t think it’s a good decision politically.
    What I’m advocating for, is for progressives to participate in democracy, and not wait for democracy to happen to them. Conservatives vote more than progressives. Democratic party consistently interprets it as a call to move to the right, that’s how democracy works. That’s bad. The only way to fix that is to outvote conservatives.
