  29.  @TheJumpsuitJack  "AOC's one vote" That's not her only inexcusible vote but it perfectly shows how she squanders the power she does have and acts in complete opposite to the values she claims to hold. These are AOCs own words that she has on twitter this very moment... " Sometimes it’s to get members on the record, so ppl can’t make excuses later. Sometimes these votes create real political pressure that forces developments. Sometimes we vote for the historical record - to let future generations know we did everything we could." She's also the same person who said that she wouldn't vote for nancy for speaker before she got in office. If you want to defend her how about you at least start with this one vote and then we can move on to her other inexcusable votes. "Sam is personal" LMFAO No. It's not. It's again another example of someone whose actions betray the values they claim to hold. It's evidence that he's a fraud in the same way aocs actions betray her. "It's opinion" Yes. It is. It's the opinion you come to when the values you actually hold and care about are protecting your cult. At best it's a biased opinion to try and maintain his access to AOC. At worst he is straight up controlled opposition whose job it is to sheepherd people into a corrupt party. He might pretend to care about their wrongdoing from time to time but that's only to get the sheep to trust him when he tells them all to vote for them when it matters most. "He's a commentator, not someone with similar power to goverent officials." Thanks captain obvious. Those are words even if they offer nothing of value to the conversation at hand. "knows exactly who Sam is" He's a sheepherder who will tell you to vote blue no matter who. He doesn't care about these people at all. At the end of the day he only cares what color jersey they are wearing. He's a hack. "Your personal beef is irrelevant." So according your "logic" that would mean you have "beef" with me? Then it too is irrelevant. "You probably aren't a "real progressive" in my eyes." I want universal health care, money out of politics, to give peace a chance, to break up the banks, reparations, free college, freedom of speech, freedom to decide what goes into my body and more. I also don't really care if you think I'm not a progressive or not. It's more important to me that you realize that people like sam and AOC are frauds, because they are.

  34.  @TheJumpsuitJack  "Get a grip." Sam cultivates probably the most intellectually dishonest crowd I've ever come across. That, and comments of yours such as this, make it hard for me to take you seriously. That said you managed to sprinkle in some things that I don't think were downright terrible so I'm going to do my best to address them and ignore all the dumb BS like this. "Your problem seems to be you put too much faith in the political mechanisms of America and the political mainstream." I've made this mistake many times in the past but I don't think I don't this much anymore. I've been fooled to many times and I'm on to their game. "plan on peacefully prying power and wealth away from the capitalist class in the dramatic fashion" The truckers show a perfect way we should be doing this. "overthrow capitalism" I'm not sure this is a reasonable goal but I'm still happy to try to do this. People have to be mad. Sam puts people to sleep. "the planet on a more equitable, sustainable path" This problem is too big for me. I don't have "faith" in science but I am hopeful that people smarter than me can figure this out. "social collapse" I am absolutely not saying this is my goal but I also don't see this as something I absolutely need to avoid. Sometimes something needs to burn down so that something better can takes it's place. I'm not saying I think it would be better if "society" collapsed but I am pretty much over capitalism. And there would be no easy way to transition off it. "ideas" Make sure everyone is as mad as they should be... and use that anger to pressure the oligarchy. Make them fear our pitchforks (in a symbolic way, I'm a pacifist). "anticapitalist" This was mostly why I'm answering. I do consider myself this. "logic behind the speaker vote" It's really not complicated. Nancy needed their votes to be speaker. Use that leverage to get something of value for progressives. Asking for a vote on m4a makes sense. It was during a pandemic. Let people voting against health care pay the price after the fact. And they would. It didn't need to be that. But it absolutely should have been something. "alternative" If dems don't cave then noone is allowed to be speaker and the country debates the topic. Let them explain why they aren't even willing to even VOTE on m4a during a pandemic much less give you m4a. That it's that important to them. Let them pay the price after the fact. My allegiance is to m4a and getting it.... not to politicians or a party.

  35.  @TheJumpsuitJack  "I can tell you're from one of those pseudo-left communities like Dore." I can't tell if you are paid to make smears like this or just a useful idiot. " Because you've clearly never read any theory" Does it matter that I have? This seems like lazy stupid ways to avoid all points I made. Me: ""anticapitalist" This was mostly why I'm answering. I do consider myself this." Your response to that: "you seem averse to any serious anti-capitalist rhetoric." You don't seem very serious to me. "So anti-dem yet never once do I hear any coherent ideology based in Marxism, much less a stated adherence to Marxism." I'm sorry I'm not using all the labels you think I should. I personally find all the labels distracting and try to focus on the ideas behind them. Me: "The truckers show a perfect way we should be doing this." You: "We're gonna pressure the oligarchy with our mean words" I was wrong to take you seriously, even if only for a moment. "not sure you're able to grasp this: global capitalism is diametrically opposed to anything that means losing their grip on power. " I'm not sure you are able to grasp this: I've never said this isn't the case. You are arguing against a strawman and wasting my time. "Neoliberalism will break fascist and America will be ruled by fascists before you will "pressure" congress to get M4A" If you say so. "Revolution" I'm a pacifist or this is probably what I'd be advocating for. But I am a pacifist so... do the math. "protests like in Canada?" If you think actions like this don't help then you are DEFINATELY part of the problem and not someone I take very seriously. "Did you ever leave your house in 2020 and attend the myriad of large protests?" Let's say I didn't but only spent my time "protesting" as a "keyboard warrior." Who let my voice be heard in only that way would that really be the devil? Or does it only count if you are on a street corner using your freedom of speech? "the US is a police state on the verge of fascism!" LMFAO Are you really trying to blame this shit on me? As if it's my fault we can't have nice things? Meh. Somehow, someway I still think I will find the strength to sleep like a baby tonight. I know that I'm the victim and not the problem even if you do not or are pretending that's the case for bad reasons. "Pelosi won by like 10-15 votes" Meanwhile, in reality, the vote was 216-209. Are you lying to people? Politically illiterate? Or lazy and stupid? "McCarthy would be speaker" To be speaker of the house you need a MAJORITY of the votes in the house. Mccarthy can't get that unless dems vote for him. If no one gets a majority of votes no one is speaker and they do it all over again until someone is. Let's say that happens.... a debate starts about m4a during a pandemic and it's merits as people are made to answer for the side they are picking. Sam lies about mccarthey being a possibility. It's not. I mean... hypothetically dems could be out sick one day and only republicans show up for work. They have a majority and vote him in. So what. Dems still have a majority and can kick his ass out immediately for someone else when they actually choose to show up for work. You are wasting my time. I'm done with you.
