Westerners crying because the tone is not reverent and deferrent to the white people. We gotta be civil and demure if we want to discuss the genocide they’re complicit in guys.

I misread you, then, my sincere apologies. Seeing a lot of defeatism and it frustrates me because that didn’t help a single bit in 2016 and only made 2020 worse. I agree on your point about the AFL CIO, which is why I’m fond of PSL, they’re very principled domestically, regarding trans rights and on firmly anti-imperialist foreign policy and they’re not part of the Washington aligned labor unions. The comrades I look up to the most are engaged in unions and organizing there.

Ok, then stay home or keep voting democrat, but stop pretending you want change without doing anything to bring it about. Individualism and conformism is exactly what got the US here and both parties would be very happy if y’all stayed that way.

Politics is what happens before and after you cast the ballot. The vote itself might as well be a formality.

Only one thing I disagree with, they’re not taking minorities for granted, they’re holding them for ransom. They deliberately refuse to codify civil liberties and anti corruption measures in case they’d like to use them.

I don’t know how to tell you this, but the third who voted democrat are at fault for repeatedly letting dems know they’d vote blue no matter who.

Not everyone wants to vote in Mussolini to avoid getting Hitler.

Just gotta get yourself a foreign sponsor to start sabotaging the US and get the rest of the world to stop selling you food, oil, or consumer goods like the US did to the DDR.

So this probably means staffers had been loudly voicing their concerns and democrats were sabotaging themselves lmao

there are already sizable third parties in the US, such as PSL, DSA and the Green Party. PSL in particular is always active in unions, protests and community programs, and lately they’ve shown they trust younger members to be out there and adjusting to the demands of the members.

I know american adults have the reading comprehension of other countries’ 8 year olds but I guess the democrat playbook of performative martyrdom when presented with criticism is easier than introspection.

It doesn’t matter where in Latin America I’m from because all of it has been various levels of fucked by the US in the same way the corporatocracy started to fuck most of y’all since the last depression. My grandpa wasn’t even born when the US was already stealing our shit at gunpoint. Malcolm X was already saying in the 60s that all the horrors unleashed by the US would in time be unleashed within it, and here we are. Good for you for campaigning for prop 6, doesn’t make your reasoning for why it failed any less fascist.

Trump supporters voted for him because they think migrants poison the blood of the country. Citing made up Nazi shit doesn’t mean everyone else has to address it like it’s true, jfc.

How dare you not get wholly genocided in time for the election

And those whose brand would be hurt by endorsing her, shut up about her worst qualities (looking at you, John Oliver, you liberal dipshit) instead of highlighting third parties because, of course, the moguls would like very much to keep this managed democracy rather than risk an actual democracy, which can get rather messy to undermine.

They are tired of being lied to by people like you living in a nice rich neighborhood and imagining

I live in Latin America you absolute dumbass lmao. Now who’s imagining?

I don’t care about your fascist talking points and make believe gangsters pulled from thin air, statistically, poverty is by far the biggest driver of crime and California, like all of the US, has a whole lot of it. And rather than fix it, y’all make it worse for everyone because you’d rather get your little vengeance for some kid fucking up your lawn. Americans pretend giving to charity is enough because y’all don’t want to own up to the fact that your society was built from the ground up as a settler colony only interested in enriching the rulers. The rest of the world sees you for what you are, and Trump makes it undeniable.

That’s what libs hate about him, because his policies are the same shit but dialed up a little, with no lipstick on the pig.

The party of peace and democracy demanding more blood the day after the reelection bid is over was a thing everyone on the left knew would happen. Might as well be magic to libs.

You know what the most ghoulish shit is about libs? Y’all stopped pretending cruel and unusual punishment was only for rapes and murders and now stealing a sandwich is enough to get you to pay with your life’s time for a few years.

Maybe demand all the media, agriculture and tech billionaires y’all have to stop wage theft, antitrust practices, rent/food gouging and outright contracting prison slaves and you wouldnt have so many homeless people that still have to eat and inner city youth desperate to make a dollar any way they can to escape their police-occupied communities.

Day one they were flaunting the largest fundraising in history, like that’s gonna play well with working class voters. If Dems push for election reform, they’re probably gonna do “one dollar, one vote” lmao.

All the instances where the Dems were doing the exact same shit so they can’t pretend they are the solution

Invite her in for a crusader kings sesh

Good points. If anybody should be annoyed by the Greens campaigning only for the national election and going dormant the rest of the year it should be PSL.

Because democrats are deathly afraid of any mildly progressive party getting funding and being on the ballot nationwide, because then their entire blackmail scheme falls apart. You can’t go “you fucking better vote for us, or else” anymore.

The democratic party has been suing to take PSL and the Greens off ballots in multiple states (which also serves to cut into their budget, which is almost entirely small contributions). That’s the party trying to save democracy apparently.
