  2. Obviously. The real question is why people believe that Democrats have any interest in democracy and aren't actively hostile to it? Electoral politics is dead, it's fine to vote but to expect structural change from it is ridiculous at this point. The Black Panthers philosophy of organization to bring actual benefits to people should be emulated. Instead of dumping resources into a system designed to concentrate power and dissipate progressive change, we use that energy to offer health services, food, education, legal service and protection from the state. We could still endorse candidates who represent our values but we don't invest in a losing battle but instead show tangible results from a parallel system. It worked for the black Panthers, that's why it's leadership was assassinated. There's no higher compliment from the state then when they openly break the laws they purport to represent to make sure a small group of poor minorities can't show the real benefits of what can happen with limited resources, if it's not corrupt. Same reason they have to attack Leftist countries, an example of what's possible cannot, under any circumstances be shown to work as it's contrast with Oligarchy would be so glaring as to open the eyes of people who don't want to see the truth. I'm thinking the Panther Party (I looked at the raised fist logo and it's made up of 7 shapes that make up the hand and circle. This could be the seven colours of the rainbow). This would be a tribute to the first real domestic challenge to American Oligarchy. Now it would represent all people and the LGBTQ community based on the same plan with local communities with no leaders (cause they will be jailed and or murdered) The system works. Let's stop supporting it.

  29. Ok, Kshama is amazing and clearly understands that Democrats sole purpose is to take time, energy, money and hope from the Left. However, as someone who is a visible minority with an accent, she has zero chance to become a REAL threat to the establishment on a National stage as Americans are racist and poorly educated. Kshama will never be as successful as Bernie or AOC who genuinely did command normies attention and therefore she's never had the full weight of the establishment come down on her and I don't mean the DNC being mean, unfair or cheating. I specifically mean what was done to JFK, RFK, Malcolm x, MLK, MILK, etc, not to mention the scores of murdered leaders around the world by the American establishment. Lefties keep saying why did Bernie change all of a sudden, or what did Pelosi tell AOC to make her cry over the Israeli iron dome vote that made her vote present. I can tell you why, it's the same thing I've said multiple times before; there's an explicit threat of political violence that is brought to bare on anyone who can credibly challenge power or their families. This doesn't even have to be that the CIA will explicitly murder you like they did to the Kennedys or Martin Luther King or even Malcolm x, they can just make it clear that in terms of the overwhelming murder threats that AOC gets on an hourly basis will not be taken seriously, if she's not a team player or Bernie's grandchildren might not get that second glance when threatened with kidnapping if he's not playing ball. The idea is that if you go against the National establishment in a real and meaningful way and are a highly visible threat that could actually galvanize the public, you are open season. I say this not to discourage anyone but it has to be said and we have to stop pretending that this is not the case because otherwise we will keep electing sweet ladies like AOC who genuinely want to help but ONLY UNDERSTAND once they get there that they or their families could pay with their lives to help others. The reality is that the only way any of these hard fought goals have been won historically is with the blood of the innocent, specifically our leaders. I'm sure my rants about the Panther Party (based on the Black Panthers as a place holder term, for a lack of anything based on the black Panthers style of organization, which prioritized community involvement for education, food, business, law and most importantly SECURITY. They were the most successful anti-capitalist party in American history. The fact that they were extra judiciously murdered and falsely imprisoned, tells you how much of a threat they actually were. It also clearly illustrates the perils of not understanding what will happen to any movement that threatens the establishment.) I must be tedious by this point, but the reality is that electoral politics will never let change happen at The ballot box under any circumstances, EVER. The only way is to challenge through numbers, grassroots organization and the kind of money that supplies real security and understanding that this is CLASS WAR. Until we acknowledge the fact that the establishment is fine with letting the reactionary Right deal with their problems, in terms of political violence, we either offer up our naive young leaders as lambs to the slaughter or worse, ignore the reality that we have to defend ourselves or perish. I liked this podcast at first because of the real people , I would really prefer that our conversations start with the assumption that the Democrats are ALWAYS acting in bad faith, with the explicit goal of eliminating its enemies for the benefit of the ultra wealthy (AOC was explicitly told. She can Tinker on the edges but that if she did anything that truly affected the establishment, they would no longer be able to protect her. Clearly, she has decided that it's better to try to get just a little something done while collecting a great wage, Healthcare and book deals rather than being MLK'D by the multitude of sexual and political violence she's been threatened to endure if she pulls back the curtain on the Wizard of Oz). The reason I say this is because that's the obvious situation and has been for its entire history (I highly suggest the chapter from devil's chessboard that shows how LBJ hired the ex CIA's Leader Dulles to investigate the assassination, Dulles was fired by JFK because JFK didn't want to pursue a genocidal campaign of terror against Cuba or the USSR. LBJ was a deeply corrupt man and was the exact opposite of JFK, coincidentally, JFK was about to have him removed as vice president for his second term, but luckily JFK was murdered by all the same people that were linked to Allen Dulles and in the same city where LBJ got his political power.) The fact that Kamala Harris has been brought in to push through another soft genocide in Gaza with the veil of identity Politics tells you exactly where everything is going. The frog is in the waters of friendly fascism, however, they are intending to bring it to a full boil of real fascism that will be finalized when there is some sort of environmental catastrophe or World war 3. I'm sure you're sick of me saying it, but the reality is if we have not built some sort of meaningful resistance that is not based on electoral politics, which is clearly only there to waste our time. We will be picked up by the algorithm that sees what we've written and knows we are the people who are dangerous to their plans of domination. Kshama is almost there much like yourself BUT as decent people you both aren't willing to accept the moral depravity of the DNC and it's minions & or hostages. Kshama doesn't bring her observations to their obvious conclusions: the Establishment will stop at nothing to consolidate power, crush descent and ensure absolute victory regardless of any of the collateral damage. Before you think I'm crazy, I suggest that you look at what is happening to the canaries in the coal mine, Palestinians. The powers that be want to see if we will watch a helpless people butchered on prime time in a literal genocide. Once they realize that we will let this go, it will only accelerate and it's just a matter of time before something like covid, a massive environmental disaster or whatever happens and it will trigger the next phase. The Establishment understands that they are running a Democratic Ponzi scheme based on exploiting third world countries, however, as there's none of them left to steal from, they've moved on to stealing from us for the last 30 years and they also understand that is not going to work forever as we are running out of resources and the planet is dying. With that as a guide, they definitely understand that societal collapse will be inevitable. At that point, "we" will either have to work together and take massive standard of living cuts for all Americans across the board to live in harmony OR a fascistic Christian Nationalism that prioritizes power and profits. I don't think The Dems want that explicitly but they are 110% laying the foundation for something headed in that direction....... I truly believe that if we start all working communally in a panther style action that is leaderless (because we know they'll murder our leaders like they've done every single time) there is more possibility to move forward as a society together. The reason being is that we are all running out of options quickly and even millionaires understand that they won't be getting on Elon musk 's Rocket to Mars. They're going to be stuck here with the people they screwed in the first place and we need to remind them of that. The system works.

  43. Too bad your boss Krystal Ball didn't make the cut, watching her argue for Biden was nauseating. Multi millionaires arguing on behalf of billionaires is less persuasive than K/K think. Any gains the labor movement has made pales in comparison to all the things Biden has done on purpose to stop the left and is only done to let off some steam from the Left The Democrat's sole purpose is to take energy and resources from the Left. Period. They made that clear with what they did to Bernie Sanders, they would rather Trump than real progress because ultimately the goal is to consolidate money and power into the elites. With that as a guide (let's stop pretending that the DNC hasn't been failing on purpose for 40ish years), the logical conclusion to our future is eventual climate catastrophe that will be the pretext to fascism. When that happens and we don't have a movement that has been well funded with trained people, they'll round up the political opposition and the new world order will be impossible to fight against (think of the French underground leading up to the Nazi take over but now they have an algorithm that flags the people who are capable of fighting back). Therefore, I'm starting to think a second Trump presidency might be in everyone's best interest. If Biden is re-elected everyone gets to go back to brunch and pretend that democracy is ok. A Biden presidency would reward the DNC for being corrupt, breaking all its promises to the Left, kids still in cages, refugees dying at the border, failure on climate, failure on healthcare and continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia. However, if Trump is re-elected everyone will remember that children are still dying in detention, democracy is under direct threat, the world is burning and at least Trump says he would try to end the war in Ukraine (obviously Trump would nuke Ukraine for a nickel but the fact he even suggested peace is better than the DNC's current pro WW3 stance). Also, let's say we drag Biden across the line and now he doesn't have to face re-election does K/K honestly believe he'll go against the donors!?!? Another thing is the fact that if Biden serves a full 8 years it will almost certainly ensure a GOP sweep of all 3 levels of government and this time it won't be a moronic gameshow host but a capable authoritarian who will have unlimited power. I'd rather Trump win and let him grift for another term with divided government than face the prospect of a GOP 2028 campaign after 4 more years of Neoliberal policies under Biden. The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way. If the fire is stoked it would re-unite the real Left and remind the Corporate Democrats that breaking every promise has consequences or if we are really lucky, public awareness that the duopoly won't save us and force regular people to understand that they're also in the same boiling pot........ The system works. Let's stop supporting it, vote 3rd party.

When that happens and we don't have a movement that has been well funded and trained people, they'll round up the political opposition and the new world order will be impossible to fight against (think of the French underground leading up to the Nazi take over). Therefore, like the Black Panther Party, we need to build a parallel government that ACTUALLY meaningfully delivers material difference for the poor - up to the middle class (people need to know that they aren't expected to be poor forever). Then a commitment from leadership personally to donate all money earned after hitting the average middle class wages to the Panther Party. The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources to hire doctors, educators, lawyers, security and financial services for Party members and the poor. Also use the resources to buy housing/support business and the very last thing is to support electoral politics in so much as boots on the ground or fund raising from outside of the Party for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors we will use our resources to make there lives very uncomfortable (not violence but paid protestors, lawsuits, basically act like a hostile corporation). Anything short of that promotes the false hope that electoral politics can be changed to help the working class. Electoralism's last chance was Bernie Sanders and that failed so the inevitable war is coming and unless we start organizing now we will all lose when the planet burns. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Panther Party

  48. Trump is the inevitable blowback of 40 years of Neoliberal DNC's broken promises that has seen a massive decline in the standard of living of the overwhelming majority of Americans. I think the most important thing is to remember, all of Biden's broken 2020 campaign promises like a $15 minimum wage, public option for healthcare, not to issue any oil drilling on federal lands(Let alone the most ever), fully funded infrastructure package rather than gutting it for corporate oil lobbyists, voting rights act for George Floyd, not putting refugees in cages let alone keeping Trump's border policies, not one more mile of Trump's border wall (yup billions more), making Saudi Arabia's MBS pay for the murder of TWO American journalists, cynically cancelling student debt in a way that he knew SCOTUS would stop in a way he could cynically send people back to the polls. Once in government the DNC crushed the rail workers movement, forcing them back to work for the audacity of asking for a single day off?! continuing to ignore the Flint water crisis, also, let's not forget the absolute f**** tragedy that is East Palestine rail chemical disaster that the people there still continue to suffer from. Also, rather than trying to deal in a humane and sensible immigration reform, Biden totally capitulated to the far right view of further militarizing the border while not getting anything for people who've been in the country for decades, resolving nothing except to move the conversation towards the anti-immigration crowd. Expanding the military industrial complexes budget with zero accountability for the fact they don't know where the money went and expanding the nuclear Arsenal while dropping all of the non nuclear prolification agreements. I can keep going on and on and on but none of this should surprise anyone. Biden has been one of the most corporate captured and Republican friendly Senators of all time, with a record that shows nothing except total complicity in selling out the American people for political & personal gain. His administration is the perfect embodiment of the DNC's worldview, campaign to the center, Rule to the Right. Reward the donor's, ensure the protection of Israel so that Netanyahu can break every single possible crime against humanity. Biden undermined any possible peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia costing hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides , which at the end of this I guarantee will be the exact same place as to where the original land agreement was.. Oh, yeah, let's not forget the only thing that he was involved in with Obama that actually was helpful, like normalization of relations with Cuba, or Iran?!? Once elected he didn't do anything on those fronts either because it was more important to him to ingratiate himself with right-wing corporate media than to spend political capital on the things he campaigned on to do the right thing that would have actually helped the people in those countries as well as the USA in terms of trade and having any, what's so f**** ever credibility on the world stage?!?! Could you imagine how much more important it would be to have Iran in the world economic system right now so that they had something to lose?!?? I get why the DNC pushed him over Bernie Sanders, clearly Biden's hubris and ignorance was easy to manipulate his foreign policy agenda in the Israeli direction unlike Obama, who was smarter than that. The fact Biden was an avowed "Zionist" was just icing on the cake! Unfortunately, Hamas 's October 7th attack totally destroyed Netanyahu's narrative that his support of Hamas as a way to destabilize Palestine as a whole would guarantee the greater security to everyone in the region was proven extremely false, now sadly those chickens have come home to roost for not only all of those slaughtered children, but the rest of us who have to deal with the policy failures of a demented old man & The DNC political establishment that prioritized its own personal gains, profit and exploitation of the region over the geopolitical goals of the states for the next hundred years. I bring all this up because of his first choice as president, he picked Kamala Harris as his running mate. My belief is that it was because she was a failure running for president and he knew that he was such a weak candidate that he couldn't withstand any kind of political talent from anyone else, whatsoever and she certainly fulfilled that goal. Also, the DNC knew that she was such a weak candidate as well, that she would never, under any circumstances talk back or have any kind of spine or political beliefs whatsoever that could complicate their commitment to the donor class. More importantly, Kamala would n't have any shame whatsoever because she believes in nothing at all. The DNC had assembled the perfect team of ambition without ideology, an ability to change opinion on fundamental issues without a hint of shame and most importantly of all, a complete and total disregard for everyone except for themselves. Obviously, the DNC knew that this would be extremely unpalatable to the American people, but Trump is the gift that keeps on giving! His total disregard for the norms which give the false pretense that Washington DC isn't just a total grift to extract $ from the working class while giving it to the 1% and ensuring that they never, under any circumstance, ever, pay any consequences for their incompetence, corruption and or complete and total criminality in terms of hundreds, if not millions of people's lives. Unfortunately, Trump's grotesque incompetence, paled in comparison to the DNC's choice to TWICE cheat the American people out of their ACTUAL legitimate choice Bernie Sanders & forced literally the worst neoliberalism corporate HACK of ALL TIME Corporate Joe in a desperate attempt to use Trump's incompetence to hide their total contempt for the working classes rejection of the Neoliberal agenda. Trump is the inevitable blowback to 40 years of neoliberalism brought to you by the DNC and they're failure to deliver the basics. If the party of "democracy" only manages to ever deliver a declining living standard and identity politics instead of the material well being of Americans it's no wonder that they have rejected those obviously empty promises. Sadly, at some point voter will try the strong man and hope that maybe he delivers when "their people have sold them out consistently for 40 years". Trump won't of course but that's the consequence we all have to suffer for the greed hubris of the Democratic party. WORST of ALL the DNC DID THIS ON PURPOSE, If they won then they're neoliberal agenda would be confirmed and celebrated while the billionaire donor class collected their Pound of flesh. However, if they lost then Trump would also reward the billionaire donors with not only taxes but reduced regulation and best of all a way, to drive fear into the hearts of all workers that if they don't support the neoliberal agenda of the Democrats, they will be thrown to the Neoconservative GOP wolves!!! The system works.

  68. (This argument has to be adressed head-on, immediately!!!) VOTE 3RD PARTY! OR: WHY I SUPPORT TRUMP'S SECOND TERM and why I'm more afraid of being complicit in the genocide in Gaza, rather than all the horrible stuff that Trump will do and that the DNC would likely do as well, however the DNC would do it slightly less and maybe even accidentally something good........ I'm starting to think a second Trump presidency might be in everyone's best interest?!?! Seriously. If Harris is elected then everyone gets to go back to brunch and pretend that democracy is ok. A Harris presidency would reward the DNC for being corrupt, breaking all its promises to the Left, kids still in cages, refugees dying at the border, failure on climate, failure on green infrastructure, failure on voting rights, failure on a public opinion, failure on police reform, failure on $15 min wage, failure to hold Saudi Arabia accountable, failure in Gaza, continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia, etc..... However, if Trump is re-elected everyone will remember that children are still dying in detention, democracy is under direct threat, the world is burning and at least Trump says he would try to end the war in Ukraine (obviously Trump would nuke Ukraine for a nickel but the fact he even suggested peace is better than the DNC's current pro WW3 stance). The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way. If the fire is stoked purposely by the actual Left it, would tell the Corporate Democrats that breaking every promise has consequences or if we are really lucky, public awareness that the duopoly won't save us and force regular people to understand that after the Palestinians it could be the place that their families are from next. Not to mention the fact, that they're also in the same boiling pot........ The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote third party, knowing full well that it will more than likely elect Donald j. Trump and that you are proud of it because it's better than voting for genocide. Lastly, always remind Liberals when they say that Donald Trump will be worse. Unfortunately genocide is the WORST and we're already there. Yes, he will more than likely kill even faster, which is unbelievably horrific BUT if the clearly stated goals of Israel is to be believed, then tragically everyone in Palestine will eventually be dead regardless of the timeline. This is unacceptable on every possible level, there's no lesser of two evils when fucking genocide is concerned.

  69. Let's address this NOW?!?!?!? VOTE 3RD PARTY! OR: WHY I'M NOT AFRAID OF TRUMP'S SECOND TERM and why I'm more afraid of being complicit in the genocide of Gaza, rather than all the horrible stuff that Trump will probably do BUT that the DNC will also likely do, even if its slightly less. (let's remember that Biden ran on an immigration policy that wasn't barbaric but then completely changed and supported laws that are not legal under international law the moment things became inconvenient) I'm starting to think a second Trump presidency might be in everyone's best interest?!?! Seriously. If Harris is elected then everyone gets to go back to brunch and pretend that democracy is ok. A Harris presidency would reward the DNC for being corrupt, breaking all its promises to the Left, people still in cages, refugees dying at the border, failure on climate policy, failure on green infrastructure, failure on voting rights, failure on a public opinion for healtcare, failure on police reform, failure on $15 min wage, failure to hold Saudi Arabia accountable, failure to not drill for Oil on federal land, failure in Gaza, failure on Lebanon, failure not to reinstate the Iranian nuclear deal (could you imagine had the USA actually done anything that they promised, the actual leverage America would have over Iran because of the economic implications, rather than the empty promises and dead bodies across the Muslim world!?!? ), failure in Afghanistan, failure to not escalate hostility with China, continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia, FAILURE ON VICTIMS OF HURRICANE HELENA THAT FEMA "MIGHT" GIVE $700 FOR GROCERIES, WHILE THERE'S ALMOST 200 CONFIRMED THAT AMERICANS AND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS MORE MISSING NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO CONCEIVABLE PLAN THAT WILL MAKE THAT REGION HABITABLE AGAIN FOR THE MILLION PLUS AMERICANS DISPLACED BY THE DISASTER . ALL WHILE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE SENT ABROAD TO SLAUGHTER INNOCENT CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY'RE BROWN MUSLIM'S AND THEREFORE HAVE NO HUMAN RIGHTS. etc..... However, if Trump is re-elected everyone will magically remember that children are still dying in detention, democracy is under direct threat, the world's climate is still burning and at least Trump says he would try to end the war in Ukraine (obviously Trump would nuke Ukraine for a nickel but the fact he even suggested peace is better than the DNC's current pro WW3 stance).

  86. What is the cost to "Fight the power" I think it's an important time to remember the history of the most influential, successful, anti-Imperial, anti-capitalist, pro-worker organization ever in America, the Black Panthers, why they were formed and specifically what happened to them. First, they formed as a result of the police in America being so corrupt and racist that they could indiscriminately beat and murder black people pretty much anywhere, whatsoever, that it necessitated some sort of organized political and or security structure to fight back, which they did as a group with a great aesthetic to boot! They armed themselves legally which coincidentally prompted Governor Ronald Reagan to help implement the first gun control laws in America (If you want gun control, arm every black man in America). They organized themselves, while also reaching out to the broader community to establish protection from not only the police but also general crime that the police refused to address. They then implemented various community programs such as education, medical programs, business, food programs for everyone in their community. It did not go unnoticed, as protecting your people from state violence can not under ANY circumstances be tolerated. "In 1968, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said the Black Panther Party "without question, represents the greatest threat to the internal security of the country." And with that declaration he used United States federal law enforcement to wage war on the group. " NPR The obvious result was that everyone from the Black Panthers was either murdered, imprisoned for life or turned into an informant to destroy not only the group BUT more importantly the credibility of the movement broadly. So, just to be clear on the stakes of any endeavor that's challenging power at this level; is if you ever organize anything that's actually successful enough to genuinely threaten The Establishment's iron grip on absolutely everything, whatsoever, lest the bad apple of community solidarity ruins the batch of corporate Oligarchy. You should expect, without remorse or legal remedy, a similar result, if not considerably worse, given the fact that they are currently burning hospital ridden children alive with IV drips still in their arms. Those are the stakes you're playing for and unless you are very clear about that, you not only do a disservice to the mission but also endanger people who aren't prepared for what's coming next and because they don't understand what's at stake, they may further undermine the group as a whole through no fault of their own. Sadly, the general public believes that there is such a thing as the rule of law, human rights, a legal framework for accountability on government's power that could at least slightly constrain the worst elements of a rogue security establishment's most depraved acts of illegal violence..............they are sadly incorrect and allowing their ignorance to continue unabated turns them into not just victims of a war but potentially blackmail victims & therefore double agents or agent provocateur's that not only endanger the lives of everyone but the credibility of the movement and everyone's sacrifices as a whole through no fault of their own if they are ignorant of the stakes of conflict with the most dangerous, depraved and morally bankrupt people on earth. The system works and it won't stop working until everyone who questions it is dead and they own everything of consequence. Unfortunately, that's just how it is and it's time we start to address it as such as these part time revolutionaries have no idea what is in store for them. Unfortunately, class war is still a War (regardless, personally, I am still a conscious objector to any forms of violence as it only begets more violence BUT sadly that only goes one way. I'm also not willing to sacrifice family members lives for the greater good. Those are hard words to accept but they MUST be acknowledged so people know where I stand). Therefore, like all wars, class war has casualties, collateral damage and massive losses to the side that is losing which to be clear is the Left. Without the acknowledgment of those odds and consequences, you cannot begin to build a credible plan to fight or win let alone survive. It may be that some people are willing to sacrifice their freedom for decades, their wellbeing or even their lives for the greater good but groups like the NSA, FBI & CIA, aren't as respectful as the Mafia and will 110% involve friends, family, children, lying & or fabricating evidence as they have no limits on ANYTHING, WHATSOEVER, EVER, ON ANYONE. If you are planning to challenge the most powerful, unscrupulous + sadistically violent people on Earth (I've called them "Even More Organized Crime" as at least the Mob just wanted $). I suggest that you need to accept the "terms of engagement" or you not only endanger, your own life, the lives of your friends and family, but also the movement you purport to represent. This is not easy to accept, but anything short of acknowledging all of these facts does not only a disservice to the movement but also everyone you know. Literally. The system works. Be extremely weary of it.

However, if Trump is re-elected everyone will remember that children are still dying in detention, democracy is under direct threat, the world is burning and at least Trump says he would try to end the war in Ukraine (obviously Trump would nuke Ukraine for a nickel but the fact he even suggested peace is better than the DNC's current pro WW3 stance). The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way. If the fire is stoked purposely by the actual Left it, would tell the Corporate Democrats that breaking every promise has consequences or if we are really lucky, public awareness that the duopoly won't save us and force regular people to understand that after the Palestinians it could be the place that their families are from next. Not to mention the fact, that they're also in the same boiling pot........ The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote third party, knowing full well that it will more than likely elect Donald j. Trump and that you are proud of it because it's better than voting for genocide. Lastly, always remind Liberals when they say that Donald Trump will be worse. Unfortunately genocide is the WORST and we're already there. Yes, he will more than likely kill even faster, which is unbelievably horrific BUT if the clearly stated goals of Israel is to be believed, then tragically everyone in Palestine will eventually be dead regardless of the timeline. This is unacceptable on every possible level, there's no lesser of two evils when fucking genocide is concerned.

  90. The Democrat's sole purpose is to take energy and resources from the Left. Period. They made that clear with what they did to Bernie Sanders, they would rather Trump than real progress because ultimately the goal is to consolidate money and power into the elites. With that as a guide, the logical conclusion to our future is eventual climate catastrophe that will be the pretext to fascism. When that happens and we don't have a movement that has been well funded and trained people, they'll round up the political opposition and the new world order will be impossible to fight against (think of the French underground leading up to the Nazi take over). Therefore, like the Black Panther Party, we need to build a parallel government that ACTUALLY meaningfully delivers material difference for the poor - up to the middle class (people need to know that they aren't expected to be poor forever). Then a commitment from leadership personally to donate all money earned after hitting the average middle class wages to the Panther Party. The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources to hire doctors, educators, lawyers, security and financial services for Party members and the poor. Also use the resources to buy housing/support business and the very last thing is to support electoral politics in so much as boots on the ground or fund raising from outside of the Party for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors we will use our resources to make there lives very uncomfortable (not violence but paid protestors, lawsuits, basically act like a hostile corporation). Anything short of that promotes the false hope that electoral politics can be changed to help the working class. Electoralism's last chance was Bernie Sanders and that failed so the inevitable war is coming and unless we start organizing now we will all lose when the planet burns. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Panther Party

  107. VOTE 3RD PARTY! OR: WHY I'M NOT AFRAID OF TRUMP'S SECOND TERM and why I'm more afraid of being complicit in the genocide of Gaza, rather than all the horrible stuff that Trump will do BUT that the DNC will also do, however slightly less and maybe even accidentally something good........

Lastly, always remind Liberals when they say that Donald Trump will be worse, that genocide is already the WORST and yet the DNC is currently supporting it with 2000 lb bombs. Yes, Trump will more than likely increase the rate of Palestinian deaths, which is unbelievably horrific BUT if the clearly stated goals of Israel's political leaders is to be believed, then tragically everyone in Palestine will eventually be dead regardless of the timeline. This is unacceptable on every possible level, there's no lesser of two evils when fucking genocide is concerned. Kamala is an empty vessel to be filled with the military industrial complexes murderous interests for not only Gaza BUT obviously for the next place to invade once they've executed every last Palestinian man, woman and child. Vote for ANY 3rd party that doesn't support genocide, if the DNC doesn't lose based on this issue, then they will understand that Americans literally support genocide.
