Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules:

No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
This is a genAI friendly instance, so no complaining about genAI content.

We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

Zohran Mamdani’s win in New York City’s mayoral primary last month has resulted in absolute meltdowns from billionaires, genocide supporters, and other assorted defenders of the status quo. Let’s pause for a moment to enjoy them.

television star Dr Phil, at a recent fundraiser for Eric Adams: “Nothing is for free, folks.”

How much did you pay for your “Dr.,” Phil?

He has a doctorate. In psychology, so he's not a real doctor. But legally, he has the right to throw Dr. in front of his name.

If he has a doctorate, he's a doctor. That is how these things work. Like Dr. Jill Biden, the medical sciences aren't the only sciences. He should not be giving medical advice any more than any other non-medically schooled person.

I really need you to understand that psychology is a medical field.

[–] Kickforce@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 week ago

Depends how you look at it. Of course it's medical, but, at least where I live, you study psychology at university in the psychology department which is entirely independent friom the medical department. A degree in psychology is not considered a medical degree in the sense that you didn't graduate in the medical sciences. While the psychology and medical students do get to study a lot of the same subjects the angle from which they are addressed is different. However psychiatrists do study medecine first and take psychiatry as a specialization. I don't know how such things happen where you live.

Nothing like a brown socialist to work up a country of white-nationalist fascists.

The best thing that could happen is for a lot of other young, driven people to look at Zohran's success and run on the same goals.

Little by little, take back the system, from the ground up.
