The only democratic socialist in mainstream politics I still listen to is Bernie Sanders. Most every other demsoc doesn’t have anything to say that I find all that worth listening to. There are some demsocs in the media or online who I still listen to, but they are relatively few and far between.
Certain socialists, mostly.
Well, I’m not personally interested in listening to either.
I understand not listening to liberals. I try not to listen to them whenever possible, but Trump is obviously worse than them, in essentially every way.
It’s like people have this natural tendency to support whoever stands in opposition to the people they don’t like, regardless of whether or not they are any better. Like people think, “hmm, I don’t really like liberals, and this Trump fella says he doesn’t like liberals either, therefore he must be good.” You can’t do a little more critical thinking thank that?
He could walk, but I can also see why he might not want to. It’s more than I would probably want to walk.
Biking is also an option, although maybe biking is uncomfortable or inconvenient for him for some reason. Also, I don’t know what the biking infrastructure is like in that area. Maybe it’s not ideal. I don’t know if e-bikes are allowed in bike lanes, but if they are, that might be an option.
He could take the subway. That’s probably what I would do, although I’ve never been on the New York subway. I only know about it through its portrayals in various media, which is often negative. I’ve heard it described as “a public toilet in rails.” I can’t personally speak to how accurate that is, that’s just what I’ve heard.
I think making better cities requires a holistic approach. It’s not just about having more bike lanes, or public transportation, it’s about designing cities for maximum efficiency and convenience, and for the promotion of maximum health and well being. I think cars are a symptom of our skewed priorities, not necessarily the root cause of the problem themselves. I think we need to change our priorities, first and foremost.
This dystopian nightmare is brought to you by some assholes from Austria and Chicago, who apparently thought economies work best when a few Machiavellian psychos own everything. Thanks, assholes.
How can anyone be so lacking in self awareness?
I can’t remember the last time I played a game on Windows. Four or five years, maybe.
The sun is billions of years old, unimaginably powerful, and it makes life on Earth possible. Sounds pretty godlike to me.
If that’s true then it sounds like this man has a lot of options, and hopefully he will recognize the benefits to availing himself of one or more of these options.
