    The difference between now and 18 months ago is that the shape of the dems had already formed. The groups on the different tracks were already tied down.

    Who is the 2028 candidate?

    There is time now to pressure the dems to pull Palestine off thier leg of the track.

    It isn’t the trolly problem… yet.

    God, I sometimes wonder if some commenters on here really think that or are sponsored by Republicans

      I always have to wonder if the accounts spamming “Don’t vote for the Dems!!!” are Republican astroturfers, or just useful idiots.

    The last time this was posted, it was PugJesus, and he barely agreed to my live example of Imran Khan.

    And as a Pakistani, go fuck yourself. My democratically elected leader is in a jail going blind because American imperialism is universal amongst both parties, and Biden signed off on his removal without a second thought.

    Even more insult to injury, Imran Khan won his election against a corrupt, voter fraud heavy, and FPTP system as a 3rd party that upset the duopoly after 70+ years.

    Twice. Second time while he was in jail.

    So now all that manure you people scream about RCV for 3rd parties in the US is laid barren as propaganda from the DNC & RNC to convince you never to vote independent or 3rd party.

    Despite the fact the DNC was caught rigging their own primaries to ensure Bernie, a populist independent, would never win.

    Twice.

    Edit: Remove that Pakistani flag out of this shit excuse for a shill meme

    What is even more interesting is that the defeat has been vehemently declared before even the parties named their candidates.

    Now excuse me, because US politics are interesting and so, but I need to make popcorn to watch my country’s electoral court respond to the police about their involvement on what is looking like the largest corruption scheme in the country’s history (what’s a really high bar) while they manage what is looking to be the second most polarized election of the century.

        I can excuse the genocide of Palestinians funded and enabled by America, but I draw the line at bad things happening to Americans!

          Would be a shame if crimes committed abroad create some kind of blowback at home.

          One might go so far as to say fascism is just imperialism returning to the imperial core.

          Oh well, anyway. Time to bomb Yemen again.

      That’s crazy, given how the market has skyrocketed in the last year.

      crypto going down

      Curiously, Trump’s always been awful for crypto.

    My uncle’s right wing Facebook friend told him a story about how he was left wing but then they changed what left wing was and now his pet bird has no wings because he tore them off. Needless to say he votes Republican because he likes harming small animals

      An acorn of truth in this story. This isn’t LBJ’s party by a long shot. People would be screaming “Tankie” at FDR if he were alive today.

    There are definitely people on here that keep shitting on those not as extreme as they are. Constantly complaining about liberals not being left enough.

    If you dont support communism at their personal definition, you aren’t left enough

    If you don’t support communism and only support socialism within capitalism , you are basically alt-right.

    If you don’t support capitalism you are also not left enough (somehow. Yes it’s confusing but apparently some argue this too).

    Honestly it doesn’t matter what you say. Someone on here will say you are the problem with why democracy has failed us.

      It’s just tiresome to see people scream “You’re the reason Trump won!” when they’re in some neon-blue district that goes 80/20 Dem every year regardless of who is on the ballot.

      What wizardry does anyone think “Random Asshole On The Internet” has to swing the election? It’s like liberal candidates are Tinkerbell and they die if you don’t clap hard enough.

      This is exactly the issue.

      And they have such a narrow view of EVERY issue. If you can’t solve EVERYTHING all at once, in EXACTLY the way they want, you may as well be Trump and want to personally murder every Palestinian in Gaza.

      “You don’t understand that guy/lady isn’t going to solve EVERYTHING so let’s not try to repair ANYTHING!”

    people just as left-wing as they are

    People so “left” they wrap right back around to merit-based authoritarianism.

    Wow, great job in creating a honey pot for trolls. Make sure to tag everyone if you can fediversians. They were here in 5 seconds, so bots maybe? Having awards for best troll is hilarious.
