    they were both children once, that’s the only accurate part.

    i dont think Scranton can be considered a small town. 75k people. neither is Houston with 2.3m people

      Rural identity has become disconnected from whether or not one actually lives in a rural area.

      Scranton was an industrial manufacturing powerhouse in the first half of the 20th century and still had a population of like 120,000 people by the time Joe Biden and his family moved away in 1953

      They’re originally from a small town outside of Houston called Needville, but it’s still just a 30-45 minute drive to be in the middle of Houston so not exactly “rural” compared to most of TX. Houston has tons of these little white flight towns around it

        I’m learning all sorts of things today. I thought Paris would be like…6 million people. At a few points in their history, the majority of France’s population lived there. I think over half of all French lived within 10 miles around Paris when the revolution started? I’m probably wrong since I didn’t realize how small its population is right now lmao

          Youre intuition is right, France is extremely centralised, but you have only 2m living in Paris itself, on a population of 75m. It’s one ultra rich city holding absolute power over the rest of the vast majority of the country. Even people who live in the “Île de France” (approx 12m people) aren’t really much better in terms of everything. France is so imperialist that even internally they have a core/periphery dynamic

      a small town. 75k people.

      What are numbers compared to feelings? Biden already said that being middle class is a “feeling”.

      Houston with 2.3m people

      Hmmm… We’re gonna need a bigger feeling.

    I quit because I’m not a communist. I didn’t want to have meetings about how we felt about endorsing Joe Biden in MAY OF 2023! People like you spent more time bashing Biden than you did organizing against republicans. Go resist Trump’s presidency you helped make it happen!

    I didn’t like being lectured about “working class solidarity” from kids who went to private schools or who’s parents paid their tuition while I grew up in a trailer and was using FAFSA to pay for my community college classes. I do well for myself now and I’m able to support myself but seriously wish people would move on and stop acting like this at like 30 years old

    I’m not going to lie and pretend like I wasn’t a selfish asshole at 19-20 years old because of course I was. Being so young thrust into the spotlight with a large platform without much familial support is really hard! You have to adjust and grow. I’m glad I did and realized communism is a mental illness!

    Scratch a liberal… dem

      And how does someone have so little self worth to shill for every shifty Democrat no matter what they do? It’s like she has zero values of her own. Sad
