especially her being the first ever presidential candidate to mention security and self determination of Palestinians in a speech

She did?

Do you have any particular episodes of that podcast that you would recommend?

Most people under 50 probably barely have any analog clocks around.

Every home/apt of every under 40 year old person I have ever been in has had at least one analog clock. And most have had several.

Also, grandfather clocks are a thing. And they’re gorgeous.

Extremely anti-social to act like digital clocks are better - similar to acting like social media and Facetime calls are in any way superior to irl face-to-face interaction - as our current loneliness epidemic demonstrates

Wristwatches don’t have the negative psychologically addictive and anxiety-producing effects of smartphones

You can do all of that and still vote for the blue team.

We all need to organize and work to strengthen unions. We need to do that. So the choice is just do we want to do that under a blue team presidency or a red team/MAGA presidency

Blue team seems much more currently amenable to unionization. So that seems like it would be the superior conditions for us to organize under.

I agree. But the question is just do we want to organize under the blue team or under the red team/MAGA team.

I agree those are bad options. And I agree with the concern that many libs will just check out and go back to brunch if Kamala wins.

So it depends if you think Trump would be so bad that he would remove the little that is left of the ability of the working class to organize. We would become similar to Hungary under Orban in terms of centralized power with a deferential judiciary. That seems like it would be worse than 4 more years of Biden+'s blue team nonsense

name the show after the unfunniest member of the trio.

That was the joke. The problem is that the show hasn’t done much since that initial joke.

Although some of the interviews are pretty good, especially the Chris Cuomo one, surprisingly. Also their skits were consistently great; haven’t gotten one of those in awhile though

she intends to vote for harris. I’m doing everything I can to stop her.

It’s not like voting will do any harm. Instead, wouldn’t it be more productive to do everything you can to get her to organize her workplace?

Why are you utilizing collective guilt in your argument?

What evidence is there that Kamal will even try to pass an agenda that is similar to what Walz did in Minnesota?

I think Walz is the most progressive governor in the country and would love to see his policies implemented on a national level. What evidence is there that Kamala’s administration will even attempt to enact those policies? She has been light on policy, with the exception of supporting Israel and building the wall via the bipartisan immigration bill that the Dems are now running on.

I’m assuming Tester wins in Montana and dems have a blue house and 50/50 senate. But even with that, idk why we would presume she would be as progressive as Walz
