  • One side wants, enables, and defends fascism. The other side only offers token resistance and refuses to allow any populist or progressive candidates onto the presidential ballot (remember when Bernie Sanders won the vote to be nominated in 2016 and the DNC said “no” and appointed Hillary Clinton anyway?). Biden promised to codify Roe v Wade, un-schedule cannabis, and forgive student loan debt. None of those things happened. Instead, corporations were given priority over the voters, on every issue, for another election cycle, so the hard Rs could continue their corporatism and fascism unimpeded as soon as they were elected again.

    When the end result of electing one is corporatism and fascism, and the end result of electing the other is still corporatism and fascism, but four years later, who cares whether there’s any technical distinction between them?



  • The popularity of lobster rolls mostly comes from a time, not so long ago, when eating lobster and shrimp was on about the same level as eating crickets. People in the Northeast would catch them for export. Poor kids brought lobster rolls to school, rich kids brought baloney sandwiches or Oscar Mayer hot dogs. Eventually, people decided lobster was a “luxury” food so now you get these tiny little lobster rolls for absurb prices. Hard to understand how they’d attract any new fans today.
