What do you mean unlike me? You don’t even know me. Yes when it comes to the general election if it’s a Republican and a Democrat facing off against each other I will always vote against the Republican in the most effective way I can. Which generally means voting for the Democrat. You really need to stop jumping to conclusions about people. It’s a bad habit of yours. And completely non sequitur in this case. Just sort of nutty out of the blue accusations about things that weren’t even being discussed.

I’ve voted for the Democrat in every Nationwide election since the mid-90s. For all the good it’s done anyone.

Make no mistake, the current leadership and those in charge of the democratic party want nothing to do with you more than getting your vote either.

As to Mamdani shaking hands with trump. This is the problem with elected offices. You’re elected to represent everyone under you. Not just those you agree with. Ironically Zoran has gotten more shit from those on the left since being elected, that he has from anyone else. Just because of the way he’s been diplomatic and strategic about picking his battles. Leaving the NYPD largely intact. And trying to work with them Etc. People who would rather see him seriously provoking the toddler and his minions. Starting another battle on another front. Reducing the chance of Victory on all fronts simultaneously.

Zoron knows if it ever comes to a standoff with ice. He’s going to need the NYPD. Even if they generally don’t see eye to eye. By virtue of them all being new yorkers. They at least have that much in common and might stand with each other over invading fascists.

DSA candidates are 100% a threat to the Democrat Leadership class. Because of that I wish the DSA great success. Because they’re actually in it for the right reasons generally. I may have some issues with aoc. But I will 100% support her in 28 if she runs.

DNC leadership is terrified they’re still putting on a brave face for the moment. But it’s extremely telling. How the party spends more time and effort attacking DSA than they do the fascists. They tend to get all buddy buddy with the fascists. Keep in mind I am differentiating from the General DNC from the base by talking about leadership positions. They 100% see the DSA as more of an enemy than the GOP.

No one that willingly watches that is independent. That channel is the antithesis. That said. A good message from the DSA on there going viral would stand to do a lot of damage to both Republican and Democrat parties. Though Republicans are too cocksure and drunk on their own power to perceive it that way.

Yep, it was never about just accepting what Democrats tepidly offered. Primary them every election, drive out the establishment. But keep the open fascists in the Republican party out of power at the same time. Democrats aren’t good. Republicans are far worse.

If that’s what you need to tell yourself. That isn’t what was said. If you already have them imprisoned and at your will. Treating them with the basic humanity you might have felt denied is the ultimate power move and demonstration that you are better/benevolent. Rather than a new oligarch same as the old oligarch. It’s got nothing to do with politeness. But wielding power with humanity and justice. Something impossible for a state to do really.

But good luck cheering on those for whom brutalization and oppression is a primary tool in their arsenal. So long as they’re hurting the right people. Just like the magats here. Praying they don’t become the right people despite always being the right people.

You should be. Showing that you can be as bad or worse than oligarchs. Doesn’t defeat the oligarchs. It just creates new oligarchs. Ones who will just as happily give you the exact same treatment for the crime of disagreeing with them.

So is construction and community building. Better even.

Ain’t it the truth. This is abominable treatment regardless of who’s doing it. You can tell a lot about a society by how it treats those “outside”. And those who hypocritically defend their abuse. Abuse isn’t justice, and will not be a deterrent. But eventually another rallying cry.

Prison should only be for those beyond rehabilitation. Even then it should not be such conditions. Any person or society that tolerates it is not benevolent or “good”.

No. But regulations and laws are meaningless with a complicit Congress.

The GOP attacked education and created echo chambers for the last half century for a reason. Sure they were self aware enough to know the GOP was screwing them. But they had been told their entire life that the DNC was far worse. Not saying the DNC is good. just the effectiveness of propaganda and echo chambers.

No, both are unacceptable. You are unacceptable.

An attempt at Ml logic. Literal fallacies such as attacking the messenger to justify worse hypocrisy. The west does bad things, therefore China gets to do similar or worse bad things.

Keep in mind for the last several years. This person pretended to be concerned with what was happening to Palestinians. Screeching at anyone that didn’t agree 100% with them. with transactional allies like them, who needs more enemies.

Hmmm interesting. I don’t think I’d ever heard that before. I will have to look into it

γαμημένος κλόουν?

Or in case you meant latin. Because I’m not sure what the point/significance of trying to translate it to Greek would be.

You’re not wrong that Sanders had some of the most toxic supporters. And still seemingly does. But there’s a lot of reasons for that. Part of it was that many of them just like the concept of him and were not supporters of him for any particular political stances. He was the candidate that the GOP focused on promoting the most, to divide and conquer left-leaning voters turning them against each other. Something Sanders himself didn’t want. But which worked in spades.

Sanders the person I think is genuine and a great candidate. I would easily vote for him AOC or Warren on any given day.

I was still referring to the last decade so yes. 2015 till now. That particular patch of time. People were telling her as the most principled and moral candidate rivaling even Bernie Sanders.

All the people that tried to convince me over the last decade that she was somehow an intelligent principled candidate. Where are they now LOL. She was worse than even I implied at the time.

Yep. It’s more a tech archeology video.

It’s not a threat to someone’s health or life. Simply pointing out that he’s a fool to think that similar groups wouldn’t turn on him if they wanted to. All gung ho to try and join them. I think the comment is safe.
