Unfortunately, we saw during the health care debate that they are not. You regularly had polls showing majority public discontent with the status quo, only to see every reform policy’s approval collapse after sustained negative media and marketing.
People will tell you they hate the system. But any attempted reform is shot down as “too extreme” and “bad for the economy”
we elected the billionaire party
Hasn’t been anything resembling a free and fair election in this country since at least Bush v Gore.
You’re fooling yourself if you think “we got what we voted for” when Congress has approval ratings in the single digits
Achieving levels of “out of touch” heretofore considered unimaginable
Seems like I touched a nerve
I’ve heard “unrecoverable” for decades. I don’t see unsolvable problems, I see intractable people.
Protestors burned alive in their APC by the nefarious CCP Street Clothes division
the world of international relations established after the second world war crashed to a halt.
I would argue COVID did more damage to international trade, travel, and diplomacy than any '25 US foreign policy.
The pandemic era quarantines/economic contractions and their reactionary backlash polarized nations along the axis of preserving life versus growing the economy.
Modern Trumpism lives downstream of that crisis.
She deserves it, but how long until a Trump appointee lets her out anyway.
It doesn’t matter. Folks see a foreign country doing foreign things foreign-ly, rather than toeing the NATO line, and they’re evil incarnate.
Meanwhile, NATO allies - from the Brits to the Saudis to the insanely corrupt Philippian government - go fully under the radar of liberals.
China’s biggest crime right now is their success. They aren’t being crippled by sanctions like Cuba, gunned down like Venezuela, or systematically genocided like Palatine. So they must be doing the most nightmarish things imaginable to their people - and to the rest of the world - in order to no-sell American foreign policy.
Too bad China kills good people.
He wasn’t killed, he was court marshalled and released five years later. He died in '21 at the ripe old age of 85
The US media was heavy handed in reporting the Federal response but deathly quiet reporting the mob violence and killing perpetrated by the rioters.
Talking about Tianeman while fixating on Tank Man is a bit like only referring to J6 by holding up photos of Ashli Babbitt taken the day before. Or reporting on the LA Riots exclusively from the perspective of the Roof Koreans. Or holding up photos of Iranian girls in swimsuits any time someone mentions the '79 revolution. Or quoting Elon Musk on White Genocide In South Africa. Or doing the “Haitians are eating the dogs and cats” line to explain our modern immigration policies.
It’s the same right wing propaganda liberals seem to recognize in their own backwards, but refuse to accept could have been applied to poison them against another country’s people.
I’ve been told by users that it didn’t happen
Don’t be shy. Name some names.
Europe is about the call for the end of Trump
I thought they were about to hand the UK, France, Germany, and Sweden to fascist parties over the next three years
This goes higher on the chain than Putin
Does this mean we will finally stop seeing people post “Release The Epstein Files”? Or is that still too hot a meme to drop?
I wonder who spends more time behind bars? Russell Brand or Greta Thunberg?
You’ve got some fairly forthright anarchists. They just don’t have the capital or the manpower to institute their social vision.
Roman Pagans were famously awful for women’s rights. And the New Atheist movement is full of sex pests on both sides of the Atlantic.
Toxic Masculinity exists independently of religious doctrine
