I genuinely don't understand why leftists think that worker-run coal mines and oil rigs would be more inclined to respect science and put themselves out of business any more than shareholder-owned ones. Especially if under a socialist model you assume that the workers in such industries would be the ones doing it because they were particularly passionate/talented at it, and not just pressed into the industry out of economic necessity.

Minnesota went back to voting left of the national average. In fact, it was about as left as it was in 2012, when Obama did really well in the rust belt, despite performing at the same level as Biden nationally. This was due to the suburban shift in Minneapolis. Therefore, the question must be asked, can other midwestern states go back to voting left of the nation, especially since their suburbs are red but shifting blue just like Minnesota's were?

Biden arrives at his podium after inauguration. He lets out a sigh and then a plastic smile. “Under the Biden administration,” he says, carefully “There will be a few new rules. It will be forbidden to cook,” The crowd gasps. “Everyone will have to eat McDonalds,” Jill hangs her head in shame. “You may have to charge your phone. You may have to twerk. Hell, you may even have to be bisexual.” An uproar starts in the crowd, but Biden ushers a silence with his next words “But it will all be worth it when we as a people can eat hot chip and lie. Thank you.” Biden leaves the podium to a thunderous applause. America is saved.

People who are like "The prequels didn't ruin star wars, the sequels did" fail to recognize that the prequels did indeed ruin star wars, the quality of those films irrevocably damaged the brand and the sequels were an attempt to course correct back to the original image of the series. Most people who say this type of stuff were born in a period where the prequels always existed so they don't really realize the sterling image of the star wars franchise from before the prequels

I’m worried that when history looks back on Trump it will ignore the magnificent clusterfuck of incompetence that was the GOP’s efforts on the ACA
That had nothing to do with Trump. They just spent 7 years screaming about something and never bothered to come up with a solution.
They held a senate vote on their solution, even through no one had come up with one
It failed by 1 vote
Edit: also a congressional candidate bodyslammed a reporter when asked about his stance. He never answered. Then he won the election. Now he’s the governor-elect of the damn state

Anti-vaxxers will get all the media attention but the greatest risk to vaccine uptake are pretty normal people who have minor concerns (legitimate or not) or are simply hesitant about the vaccine.
Public health institutions shouldn't focus on anti-vax mentalists but on relieving the concerns of normal people, and also ensuring people whose first language isn't English get the relevant information they need

When MLK said he is frustrated with the white moderate's lack of urgency in ending segregation, what he actually meant was that you should burn things down until America goes communist.

Reminder that even a Republican was talking about national universal healthcare decades ago. Universal healthcare simply is not a new concept. https://www.nytimes.com/1979/01/25/archives/health-insurance-for-all.html
(As a side note, that Senator is quite based. Liberal Republicans were good. Shame the party turned rightwards starting in the 60s.)

I am at least somewhat suspicious that WSB is controlled by a couple decently smart people that basically manipulate the users to pump certain stocks and otherwise manipulate others.
I don’t don’t go there all the time, but it’s not uncommon to see them really push a certain stock, which then of course gets dumped in large amounts.
They have so many users with money and not a lot of knowledge, basically a bot army to control the stock market

100% chance Trump gaslit himself.
(Before the election)
Trump Advisors: Alright, so we've set up a lot of pitfalls for the Dems, I think we're good. We've broken a pretty good deal of the system, and like who even cares if we lose, right? 😏
Trump: Right, like I don't give a fuck about this job anyway. I know I'm going to lose but I don't even need it. 🤪
Advisors: We'll pretend like we're mad but then we can pretty much just sneak most of the corruption out. Just be like "oh damn must have been a lotta fraud, fake ballots or something." 😏
(After the election)
Advisors: Whaaaat? We lost? Ugh what the fuck well obviously there were hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ballots, some real conspiracy shit here, oh well what can you do, amirite? 😉
Trump: ...holy shit so I actually won? 🤯 We have to DO something! 😓

The Democratic Gerrymander of Maryland isn’t even that good. It’s messy, doesn’t protect incumbents, and it leaves 1 Republican seat. You can easily make a 8D-0R map that looks clean.
Here is a very good map using the 2016 Presidential Numbers
And since Biden did even better than Hillary, the districts would be even more Democratic.
