  171. My girlfriend and I (she was a women's studies student in the late 90's at McGill in Montreal, she was very smart. Gave me Chomsky's Fateful Triangle which was my introduction to middle history and politics!). Anyways, she was adement that gender discrimination WAS the number ONE issue facing humanity and its ability to fight against oligarchy as it affects over half the world. I agreed that it was clearly an issue BUT not the most important as class issues literally affects everyone not wealthy, 75% of the world's population which is overwhelming class underrepresented AND More importantly, by making gender, or for that matter, race and or whatever minority is not represented rather than class pits. Our priorities, resources and sympathy into a hierarchy of grievance which separates all of us to the advantage of the upper class. Her answer to that was I was a white man and so I couldn't understand the plight of others and my response to that was that is how a black man may feel about her feelings on gender issues and so on and so on and so on. However, the one thing that most of us can agree on is that we clearly being exploited by the ultra wealthy and that until the opportunities presented by reducing or eliminating class divide would allow for space to further reduce and hopefully reject all forms of bigotry rather than the whack-a-mole of Justice. I knew things were going to get worse as the benefits to the upper class and media propaganda were too rich. Not to push as economic policies for the center left are dangerous as they affect the donor class but identity politics is perfect as it delivers, nothing tangible but is highly evocative of emotion and can deliver empty victories. It just got worse than I ever could have imagined and I struggle to see how we are able to get past a generation of young adults raised on the idea that we live in a classless society and are only separated by identity. It's frightening S***. Thanks again Chris, I can't thank you enough. You are an Oasis of actual relevant information in a sea of propaganda YouTube style.

  193. Have you ever noticed that PP's solutions are always the ones where Canadian taxpayers reward the industries that specifically donate to PP's campaign to the tune of multimillions, also seems to specifically benefit his particular base of power, also coincidentally in the populations that support him specifically? He also seems to be just fine with throwing dairy management/fisheries + a lot of the priorities of the East coasts industries under the bus as they don't generally tend to support conservatives (just for the record, I like Canadian dairy, milk, eggs, look it up as we get a higher quality product for a better price as I don't want a bunch of chemical hormone garbage that Americans flood our market with when they mess up their on situation). Don't get me wrong, obviously oil and gas is extremely important but let's keep in mind that it's still less than 10% of GDP and the other 90% of the country is more relevant in terms of business and jobs overall. Also, my concern with PP, is that he and Danielle Smith have made it abundantly clear that they will prioritize the oil industries first at the expense of everyone else and considering the fact that NAFTA was originally negotiated under a conservative government which screwed Canadian businesses & workers in the first place, which doesn't't exactly inspire confidence that PP's not going to be willing to throw most Canadians under the bus, again, to protect himself, his donors & the over 70% of foreign corporations that own our oil resources?!?! Liberals are terrible BUT at least they have votes everywhere in the country, even some in Alberta & is therefore less likely to be beholden to narrow set interests in extremely powerful oil Lobby that is PP's base of support for votes but more importantly who his campaign donations overwhelming come from. Like I said before, I find it interesting that his overwhelming plan is to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into pipelines that more than likely won't come into effect until well after Trump is gone a decade from now & coincidentally massively benefit his corporate donors, as well as a very narrow set of foreign investors. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure PP is extremely concerned about the development of the rest of Canada's infrastructure, as the TMX pipeline received a $40 billion investment from the Trudeau liberal government and obviously that's brought about National unity but it began 13 years ago So I'm not entirely sure why potentially another 100 billion is to be invested in a product that would likely take even longer this time to develop, by a politician (PP) who gets his money from corporations that are overwhelmingly owned by foreign corporations in the oil sector in Alberta? You know, just saying......... The system works.

  235. 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.

  306. Smith doesn't care about Canadians, the economy or even Albertans for that matter (while healthcares is crumbling, Wildrose is way too busy grifting off healthcare privatization). No, her main priority is the mostly foreign oil industry people who overwhelming donate to her party & represent the real power in Alberta. Why?!? Because some Albertans hate the NDP, as the NDP expects Corporations to actually pay taxes in order for nurses, doctors, teachers or literally any public service workers to at least make what a guy dumping waste water into a river makes. Unfortunately for some, the idea that having any respect for the people who literally save our lives, educate our children or protect our lives is WAAYYY TOO MUCH!!! Better to ensure that Smith can ALWAYS prioritize the Foreign Corporations lining of her Party's pockets, than to ever consider even a small amount of dignity for the people who actually hold Alberta together, because without them there'd be nobody to pump that sweet black liquid gold into all those foreign pockets?!?! Over 70% of all oil industry is owned by foreigners & that money is removed from Canada & is minimally taxed, while most of the cleanup is mostly paid for by Canadians. If it was actually a national project, that Canadians mostly benefited from that would be one thing. However, most of the conservatives want Canadians to pay for all of the development and then take a loss so that they're foreign partners can get it on the cheap, while paying a minimum of taxes. TMX pipeline, with original purchase cost + build cost almost $40 billion and took 13 years to build with a projected loss of an estimated loss of 15 billion to taxpayers BUT at least Alberta is thankful for forcing BC to take its resource to tide water over the objections of almost HALF the population of Vancouver right?!?; I mean, Alberta never shuts up about how the Federal government PAID to ensure its main resource was accommodated over BC, the municipality of Burnaby, the objections of multiple indigenous leaders, multiple treaties of trade on carbon expansion, against the will of literally every single environmental groups & as a result, Alberta is happier with Canada than ever!?!?! The system works.

  489. Ok, So, I'm subscribed to your substack which pretty much ensures that I'm on the list of people to be round up the moment The establishment feels threatened in any manner. I'm also equally certain that my sacrifice will be more or less meaningless as I'm not an important or religious person so there's no reward in this life or the next life. I do it for for a couple reasons, the first is I've had an exceptionally good life at the beginning and it's because of the people who fought and died like my grandfather, who was a deeply disturbed man as a result of his time in world War II. His sacrifice is why i had such a b****ing time for the first half of my life! I'm clearly owed nothing from here on in as the beginning is the best part and if you can live it relatively free means you've had the better part of reality that 90% of people have never experienced in the first place. The next reason is for the children of my friends, family, strangers. My government has paid to murder and or was complicit in their murder. I owe them a debt that can never be repaid, but at least only completely outside chance that anything means anything whatsoever. I can say I did the very very very very very very very very least possible in terms of trying to help. Like I said, I don't believe in God + I'm pretty sure that no Good deed goes and unpunished but the truth is I can't leave this world knowing that I didn't do anything except for stuff for myself. Regardless of the fact, that there's no great accountant in the sky adding and subtracting our Good deeds. My debt is being born tall, white & blue eyed, moderately good looking, moderately intelligent and some say a little bit charming at times which despite my best efforts i haven't totally destroyed yet and therefore i still owe a profound debt to the civilization that has allowed me to rise well above my considerable laziness and inability to account for the many, many, many advantages given to me at birth. I will obviously never be able to repay that but if I can at least not make it horribly worse. That is the very, very, very, very least I can do as a person with a weak and an immoral attitude towards society. Thanks Chris, every time I hear you speak I can't help but think I have to at least try and pull my s*** together, despite how depressed I am about everything, including my general weakness towards what I see as the inevitable. The system works. Let's stop supporting it, vote third party.

  567. Trump is the unfortunate blowback of 40 years Neoliberal DNC 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 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.

  634. I read "Sex at Dawn" which was a broader look at prehistoric sexual practices and our evolution from hunter gathers to free market slaves. However, seeing as our ancestors were more similar to boonaboos rather than chimpanzee that largely were not monogomous & practiced multiple partners or group sex as a way to diminish issues within the community. How does that basic human behaviour then express itself naturally now that we've so far from thos societies wander the savanah and everyone getting down with eachother by moonlight and a bonfire to forced monogamy by the dull glow of a television. Or more importantly, how does a Leftist movement accept the realities of the complexity of human nature that doesn't prescribe a "moral" position whatever that is and more of one characterized by freedom which isn't just another way to exploit eachother. Basically, there's a slightly dominance expressed in all sexual relationships which is natural and without the release valve of the boonaboos non monogamous answer to the frustrations inherent to not only monogamy BUT more importantly the type of relationships under the exploiting nature of capitalism? Love Chris and his guests but they don't exactly strike me as the most overtly sexual types and this interview felt more about what not to do rather than what a healthy expression of sexuality looks like done by a Left leaning people trapped under the ice of a capitalist society without being exploitive but still true to our nature that's not normative or prescribed? Thanks as I've often struggled with this as a person who's not a capitalist person but grossly aware of these feelings as a man in an extremely hyper capitalist society? Obviously, there are no answer's, just more genuine questions with hopefully some space for answers that not EVERYONE LOVES BUT CAN BE RESPECTFUL OF.

  680. Listening to Trudeau makes my skin crawl, however, I've never been a fan of the conservatives either as I remember the Harper government. They gave some upper class tax cuts for soccer mom's, petty cruelty service cuts to the elderly, disabled and veterans (& of course the usual losers but that just makes them break into my stuff more) So I'm curious as to what you think electing a conservative government will do specifically for Us? As far as I know, everyone making less than $100,000 gets a carbon CHQ (I make over the cutoff so I have never seen a check. I'll actually get a tax break), once the cons are elected people won't get that anymore as the cons have said they're going to end many programs and they're going to slash government spending which generally means that you will be paying more for services while also not receiving the carbon chq anymore either? So just in terms of a day-to-day quality of life situation, what do you actually expect will be the difference? I know Pierre said he'd make it possible to buy a home in Vancouver where I live by "stopping the gatekeepers" which sounds cool of course cuz who doesn't want that but it doesn't actually make any sense as it doesn't say how? I mean do you think Pierre is having homeless veterans put into the house next to his place LOL!? I get hating Trudeau is enjoyable cuz he really sucks bad but I just don't see how the conservatives are any different? Pierre Poillevre was in government for almost 10 years and didn't deal with any of this except deregulation of oil and gas industry that allows the pollution of rivers and lakes which is fine I guess but that's less than 10% of the economy?(*Over 70% of major shareholders in Canada's largest oil companies are foreign so most money leaves Canada) Great for his donors I suppose but even when they did it last time housing still went up almost 50% on his and Harper's watch? Anyways, I'm really hoping I'm missing something because this isn't looking good, feels like we're going from the frying pan and into the fire. Please give me ANYTHING TO HOPE FOR, PLEASE!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone & Thanks!

  840. Have you ever noticed that PP's solutions are always the ones where Canadian taxpayers reward the industries that specifically donate to PP's campaign to the tune of multimillions, also seems to specifically benefit his particular base of power, also coincidentally in the populations that support him specifically? He also seems to be just fine with throwing dairy management/fisheries + a lot of the priorities of the East coasts industries under the bus as they don't generally tend to support conservatives (just for the record, I like Canadian dairy, milk, eggs, look it up as we get a higher quality product for a better price as I don't want a bunch of chemical hormone garbage that Americans flood our market with when they mess up their on situation). Don't get me wrong, obviously oil and gas is extremely important but let's keep in mind that it's still less than 10% of GDP and the other 90% of the country is more relevant in terms of business and jobs overall. Also, my concern with PP, is that he and Danielle Smith have made it abundantly clear that they will prioritize the oil industries first at the expense of everyone else and considering the fact that NAFTA was originally negotiated under a conservative government which screwed Canadian businesses & workers in the first place, which doesn't't exactly inspire confidence that PP's not going to be willing to throw most Canadians under the bus, again, to protect himself, his donors & the over 70% of foreign corporations that own our oil resources?!?! Liberals are terrible BUT at least they have votes everywhere in the country, even some in Alberta & is therefore less likely to be beholden to narrow set interests in extremely powerful oil Lobby that is PP's base of support for votes but more importantly who his campaign donations overwhelming come from. Like I said before, I find it interesting that his overwhelming plan is to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into pipelines that more than likely won't come into effect until well after Trump is gone a decade from now & coincidentally massively benefit his corporate donors, as well as a very narrow set of foreign investors. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure PP is extremely concerned about the development of the rest of Canada's infrastructure, as the TMX pipeline received a $40 billion investment from the Trudeau liberal government and obviously that's brought about National unity but it began 13 years ago So I'm not entirely sure why potentially another 100 billion is to be invested in a product that would likely take even longer this time to develop, by a politician (PP) who gets his money from corporations that are overwhelmingly owned by foreign corporations in the oil sector in Alberta? You know, just saying......... The system works. By

  980. Agreed that Hamas is explicitly at fault for executing the hostages, BUT, the fact that Hamas agreed to a peace deal that was put forward by Israel and the Americans, but then completely rejected later by Netanyahu because he realized that he would go to jail for or corruption explains the entire situation. By denying a ceasefire agreement, he purposely put the hostages at risk for his own political purposes. Obviously that doesn't absolve Hamas for the direct role in their killing but the reality is if Netanyahu had actually just did what he said he would do in the first place they would ALL still be alive and that's a fact. You can split all the hairs you want but I'm sure the families of the victims would have preferred that he just did what he said he would do rather than sacrifice their lives to keep him out of prison just a little bit longer. P.S. I've been toying with this for a long time, but can we just legalize corruption for f*** sake?!?!? Can we not just tell Netanyahu he will never pay for his crimes and that we will give him a billion dollars to f*** off?!?! Like, you won the lottery of Democratic stupidity so please just leave without causing more needless deaths. Seriously. I also understand how upsetting and completely wrong that is for his tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of victims, however, I also understand that we're spending tens of billions of dollars to slaughter even more innocent people on a daily basis. Just so this complete and total a**** can avoid jail a little bit longer?!?!?! The fact that we could just offer him amnesty and money to f*** off makes so much more sense?! I think we could call it the corruption rule. If a society is SO f**** stupid, that they continue to elect the same corrupt politician as a result of their complete and total inability to understand or accept obvious facts, that at a certain point, once that politician has accrued enough power to make everyone's lives dangerously unstable, we should be allowed to invoke the corruption law that says our society is clearly too stupid to fairly advocate for our members and that it's time to accept that we are too dumb to do anything other than pay off that person to just leave peacefully?!?!? OR we can continue the needless Slaughter of tens of thousands of people for years to come and the deaths of all the hostages just so this one man can pretend that he is doing anything other than trying to save his own f**** skin? P.s. with that said, he doesn't get immunity anywhere other than the country where he did his crimes. Everywhere else he has to be accountable so that he has to stay where he is most hated. It's not a great system by any stretch, but I'll take anything not to see one more murdered Palestinian Child or hostages sent home in a box for that f**** a**** Netanyahu.

  1062. Just remember that Polllievere voted for FIPA trade agreement with China in 2012 and Trudeau ratified it when you think there's a difference between these two. Both Liberals and Conservatives represent Corporations not Canadians. The record of Pierre's time in the Harper government tells the real story, here's some of the details. Canadian governments are locked in for a generation. If Canada finds the deal unsatisfactory, it cannot be cancelled completely for 31 years. China benefits much more than Canada, because of a clause allowing existing restrictions in each country to stay in place. Chinese companies get to play on a relatively level field in Canada, while maintaining wildly arbitrary practices and rules for Canadian companies in China. Chinese companies will be able to seek redress against any laws passed by any level of government in Canada which threaten their profits. Australia has decided not to enter FIPA agreements specifically because they allow powerful corporations to challenge legislation on social, environmental and economic issues. Chinese companies investing heavily in Canadian energy will be able to seek billions in compensation if their projects are hampered by provincial laws on issues such as environmental concerns or First Nations rights, for example. Cases will be decided by a panel of professional arbitrators, and may be kept secret at the discretion of the sued party. This extraordinary provision reflects an aversion to transparency and public debate common to the Harper cabinet and the Chinese politburo. Differences between FIPA and the North American Free Trade Agreement may offer intriguing loopholes for American lawyers to argue for equal treatment under the principle of Most Favoured Nation. Does that sound like "FREEDOM" to you?

  1070. F$#@ you Bernie and your "vote blue no matter who" bs, you already f*** us out of the alternative democracy that everyone donated to and supported you with their last nickels. As soon as you sold out to Biden for nothing, not a single f'ing concession, nothing. Don't get me wrong, I know the power's that be said if you actually exercise your power they would kill you, or your family or something worse. At that point you could have said that you were retiring from politics because that you could not be effective and that you were threatened (you would at least have been honest and people would have understood that you couldn't sacrifice your family for the greater good ) BUT you didn't do that, you told us to vote for Biden knowing full well he was lying about all the things he was telling progressive voters while on the campaign trail and now you're doing the same. Still, that was the trade-off when you challenged power in the first place and inspired people with what they thought was the truth. You sacrificed the Left and all of its momentum for the foreseeable future for you and your family's safety. You got your million dollar book deal, you're still relatively popular, your kids will be fine, unlike the Palestinian babies dying of starvation and 2000 lbs American bombs. However, I'm quite sick of multi-millionaire democrats telling us that we have to support the DNC's genocide, so that we can save ourselves at the sacrifice of the Palestinians and everything else that matters is complete and total utter f**** b******. I reiterate, f** you. What the upper class wants is that we save them from Trump and his dirty working class hordes of people who know that the DNC sold them out to China and anyone else for pennies. Had you come out recently and said that you will not support Kamala unless she demands that Israel stops the genocide NOW or the Biden administration will 100% cut them off ALL aid going forward. Also, that all weapons aid stops NOW, f**** regardless of whether there's a ceasefire or not and that it will not return until an honest two-state solution is put forward by Israel?!?!? Anything short of that is tacit support for goddamn ethnic cleansing and the fact that you can sleep at night in your million dollar home while the people of Gaza and their children are murdered and starved to death by the person you are telling us is, "a good person" is rigodamndiculous. It's really hard to believe you have the f**** nerve to defend genocide and the DNC after everything we've seen?!? I don't know what they have on you Bernie, but you sold your soul and the hope of an entire generation who came out for you. You will be remembered for that, your kids will live with it, we will all live with your complicity in genocide.* Except all the Palestinians who die as a result of your cowardness . You did this for nothing and without getting a goddamn thing in return for all of the heart, effort, sacrifice of the people who supported you with the money and time that they did not have to give. You lied to them and worst of all you gave them hope. Like I said, f*** you. The system works. Whatever, in 4 years Bernie will be telling us 2 vote for Liz Cheney for DNC 2028 President!! It's the most important election ever?!?!

  1264. Listening to Trudeau makes my skin crawl, however, I've never been a fan of the conservatives either as I remember the Harper government. They gave some upper class tax cuts for soccer mom's, petty cruelty service cuts to the elderly, disabled and veterans (& of course the usual losers but that just makes them break into my stuff more) So I'm curious as to what you think electing a conservative government will do specifically for Us? As far as I know, everyone making less than $100,000 gets a carbon CHQ (I make over the cutoff so I have never seen a check. I'll actually get a tax break), once the cons are elected people won't get that anymore as the cons have said they're going to end many programs and they're going to slash government spending which generally means that you will be paying more for services while also not receiving the carbon chq anymore either? So just in terms of a day-to-day quality of life situation, what do you actually expect will be the difference? I know Pierre said he'd make it possible to buy a home in Vancouver where I live by "stopping the gatekeepers" which sounds cool of course cuz who doesn't want that but it doesn't actually make any sense as it doesn't say how? I mean do you think Pierre is having homeless veterans put into the house next to his place LOL!? I get hating Trudeau is enjoyable cuz he really sucks bad but I just don't see how the conservatives are any different? Pierre Poillevre was in government for almost 10 years and didn't deal with any of this except deregulation of oil and gas industry that allows the pollution of rivers and lakes which is fine I guess but that's less than 10% of the economy?(*Over 70% of major shareholders in Canada's largest oil companies are foreign so most money leaves Canada) Great for his donors I suppose but even when they did it last time housing still went up almost 50% on his and Harper's watch? Anyways, I'm really hoping I'm missing something because this isn't looking good, feels like we're going from the frying pan and into the fire. Please give me ANYTHING TO HOPE FOR, PLEASE!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone & Thanks!

  1322. The DNC loves Trump as a way to punish the working class for asking for anything whatsoever that would affect their billionaire donors.  40 years of Neoliberalism has left everyone so desperate that DNC tinkering around the edges, is meaningless. Eventually, after 40 years of failed promises from the DNC to the working class, they're seeing if a strong man is able to deliver at the expense of the most vulnerable in our society, which is the promise of ALL fascists. Trump won't deliver obviously, BUT more importantly his failure will drive the working class back to Corporate Democrats who will offer a kinder version of the same Billionaire friendly agenda with the threat of more authoritarian GOP policies if they dare question their corporate Masters. The sad reality is that the DNC doesn't care if Trump gets elected 3 more times, what they're really concerned about is if Bernie Sanders was to give Americans universal health Care that would cost the insurance industry trillions, if Bernie Sanders would actually educate Americans, which would cost the universities trillions if Bernie was to transition to a green economy which would cost the oil Barons trillions, If Bernie was to stop endless Wars + scale back the military industrial Complex which would cost the War Pigs more than tens of trillions of dollars.  Obviously, they'd have Bernie's ass MLK'd long before he got anywhere near doing any of that But it's easier to put in a charlatan like Trump as a grim reminder that the American people only have two choices, a clown Rodeo show fascist that would take away every right the moment he thinks he can do it OR a corporate kleptocracy of Liberal oligarchs who will gamble everyone's human rights and WW3 for their ability to exploit every one in the working class to their advantage and to destroy the entire world environment so that they can go from super wealthy to insanely depraved wealthy. The system works.

  1441. Obama ran on codifying Roe versus Wade as his first act in office 2008. He was elected with a super majority but decided against making it law once in office as it was politically advantageous to have the RNC's anti-abortion stance as a credible threat to women's health. Obama & the DNC used women's reproductive Rights as a threat to force people into supporting corporate Democrats, who refused to to codify Roe for crass political gains at the expense of women's lives. The DNC purposely failed women's rights to advance their political agenda as they know that voters want Bernie Sanders BUT the DNC KNOWS that by cynically allowing Republicans to overturn Roe it will FORCE people who are furious about the anti-democratic/pro billionaire tendencies of the DNC to still vote for unpopular DNC candidates WHO OBVIOUSLY DON'T REPRESENT WORKING PEOPLE'S INTERESTS in the hope that they at least protect women's basic health needs.....this time. The DNC was right unfortunately, despite being historically unpopular for their utter refusal to do the overwhelming majority of Biden's campaign promises to the Left & or their overwhelming commitment to genocide, regular people have come out for the last 3 elections to protect themselves against the DNC enabled theocratic GOP's agenda to restrict women's reproductive healthcare despite the fact that the DNC doesn't represent the views of the overwhelming majority of the working class. Sadly, we know that the DNC has purposely placed them in a position to either support the DNC's commitment to murdering Brown Muslim children or losing their reproductive healthcare rights, which was all done on purpose. The system works People can't articulate why they f**** hate the system but this type of s*** is everywhere.

  1533. Smearing Jill Stein is the total purpose of this segment. Here's my argument below. 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........   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........ 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 that unfortunately genocide is the WORST and that 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 even if it's a little bit slower. The DNC MUST LOSE and it needs to be demonstratively because of Gaza. They also need to know that they will lose next time because of Gaza, then they need to understand that they will be in the political wilderness forever because the actual left will not be complicit in the murder of innocent men, women and children. Anything short of that is a recipe for the continued slaughter of people all over the world based on the idea of the "lesser of two evils."    The system works. Let's stop supporting it.

  1691. CNN pays Fareed to pee down your leg and tell you that it's trickling down "FREEDOM!" instead of boarded up empty Main St's, rust belts & homelessness? The Neoliberal concenus has failed, as people understand that "free trade" has been designed to screw them, so that the ultra wealthy can become DISGUSTINGLY even MORE WEALTHY AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERY ONE ELSE. The DNC base tried to vote for Bernie Sanders, twice, as such, the DNC donors punished them for not choosing a corporate hack in either 2016 or 2020 primaries. Therefore, they weren't even allowed to have a primary this time, as they couldn't be trusted to ensure the interests of the donor class over their own interests. Forcing on them the choice of a demented gameshow host with authoritarian tendencies OR a person without ANY IDEALOGICAL COMMITMENT's TO ANYTHING, WHATSOEVER, OTHER THAN NAKED SELF INTEREST, AS SHE'S ROLLED BACK EVER SINGLE POLICY POSITION THAT WOULD MAKE HER SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER POLITICIAN THAT AMERICANS OBVIOUSLY, OVERWHELMINGLY HATE!!!! I mean, let's remember that Kamala couldn't even beat Andrew Yang in HER OWN STATE?!?!? Fareed's millionaire "journalists" ALWAYS BLAME THE LEFT & working class people's ignorance rather than their complete and total sellout to billionaires!!!!! Can you remember one time, ever, even once that fareed had said anyone other than the Left is the problem & or oddly never the billionaires who pay CNN LOL!?! Despite the overwhelming unpopularity of the Wars in both parties, Fareed "accidentally forgot" to mention a single time that nobody supports killing children in Gaza!?!?!? (clearly depressing the youth vote, Muslims & jews). DNC keeping Biden's decline secret, the fact that DNC knows that Russia can't be beat, the fact that Bernie was screwed by the establishment twice and no primary at all this time, ignoring the fact that they let corporations buy up all the housing, that they crushed the rail workers strike and on and on and on..... No, I'm afraid no lessons have been learned, except that No matter how criminal they act or how obviously they sell out to billionaires, the DNC and it's corporate propagandist's like Fareed will continue to get rich for lying to the American people. My only hope is that they will continue to be shown as complete and total FRAUDS with not only zero morality but an actual malevolent hate towards real journalism as it threatens their ability to extract wealth for propaganda. The system works.

  1729. If Bernie would have been elected President, the DNC, RNC, media & the Blob would have formed an evil Voltron, that would have destroyed him by first the usual smears, then scandal, then Law-fare and if that didn't work he would have been MLK'd by a "lone wolf." I'm sorry, the sad reality is that we shouldn't be thinking about a better politic but understanding that we are in the early days of France before the Nazis takeover & the DNC is the Weirmar Republic 2.0 who are going to be more than happy to let the Nazis Waltz in, in order to protect their wealth and privilege? So much so they'd rather be waving the same fascist flags, then ever consider the slightest reduction in the standard of wealth and or status that the DNC will gladly send whoever they need into the gas Chambers. Just look at Gaza for your evidence?!?! Therefore, the only thing that makes sense is the Panther Party (based on the organizational style Black Panthers, it doesn't matter what the name is, so long as it represents a group that is dedicated to something larger than electoral politics and actively works within communities to help poor and working class people survive The inevitable onslaught coming.) or something similar to it where money, time, resources that have been previously wasted on a system specifically designed to waste your time, energy, and resources on a party that clearly hates you towards preparing for what comes next. This is a deeply unhappy and unpopular thing to say, but it's absolutely true as the bottleneck of climate catastrophe is upon us and when it tightens this will be used as a pretext for fascism. They'll use that algorithm to see what we've posted on comments to know which people to round up first and it will be the fourth Reich of a thousand years that they've always planned. However, If we build a credible alternative for the people who are inevitably pushed out, as the pie becomes smaller and smaller, as it has to in order for neoliberalism to flourish, the numbers will get bigger towards us as those people will have no other choice. When a critical mass occurrs there will come a time when it will be decided not by the ballot box but by something much more visceral as it's requires the masses as any major change in society will require a group IDEALOGICAL commitment by those same masses. Unfortunately, if they can end your movement by just shooting your leader then you don't have an actual movement because THEY will. Just like MLK, Malcolm x, JFK, RFK, MILK and SOOO many progressives from around the world, however, if it's a system of ideas where we are all leaders than it can't be simply decapitated. "Only sheep need a Leader" NoMeansNo (it's a punk rock band) System works.

  1807. I can't help but shake the feeling that Jon Stewart got the same talk that Bernie Sanders got or AOC when they started focusing attention on the "wrong people." The one that says, "hey, listen it's okay to mess around at the edges because that doesn't f*** with billionaires money or the security establishmen's ability to suppress democracy BUT if you keep f**** around and riling up the "poor's" or even worse the lower middle classes, then a "lone wolf" could get you MLK'd?!?! I'm sure the establishment reminds them that JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King and Malcolm x (not mentioning that all leaders in every other country for the last 70 years who tried to represent their people fairly were either imprisoned, destroyed through blackmail, coups and assassinated) were all just fine when they were uselessly crying about civil rights, however, once they tied it to the working class, its relation to the military industrial complex and organized the working class that united the Right & Left sides on an understanding that they were BOTH being exploited by the same people, they were ALL assassinated within a year by "lone wolves." Convenient....... The system works P.S. I have come to the conclusion that there needs to be a massive movement similar to freeing Assange for the full and unredacted JFK assassination dossier which will I'm sure exposed the CIA & how they worked with the mafia to assassinate a president that didn't want world War 3. I think, they'll be able to show that President Johnson was complicit in this crime and it has affected every foreign policy and arguably domestic policy as a result ever since? Until the American people can be clearly told that the usa's secret police murdered their President for trying to bring Peace to the world so that the Establishment could deny things like universal Healthcare, infrastructure, education for all Americans so that they can compete in a world market and most importantly a free and open society where The security establishment can't use the threat of enemies abroad as a way to erode all civil liberties for Americans that the founders fought and died for. The system works.

  1829. Harris is going to continue to support the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children. Voting Harris, is a vote to offshore jobs with "free trade", endless wars and the Israeli genocide in Gaza. HOWEVER, the parents of those murdered children can take solace in the fact that the first black woman President PAID to have their kids executed! Or? Stop supporting the duopoly that has sold out the American working class to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Vote for ANY 3rd party, just to let the DNC know that you don't support tax breaks for billionaires or the slaughter of innocent children, it's the only way they will stop doing both. Sadly, the American people tried to elect Bernie Sanders, TWICE. Now, for a third time the elites have not allowed the American people to choose their leader but instead imposed someone who supports unnecessary corporate inflation, the Military Industry Complex rather than helping Americans and crucially, the ongoing genocide in Gaza (every bomb dropped on a child, is literally a library full of books, that are missing in America.) Vote 3rd party if you don't want to be complicit in the execution of those children or the further erosion of democracy? Sadly, if Trump wins he'll do the same thing & in similar numbers as both parties support Netanyahu's genocidal campaign BUT because Trump is hated, people will actually scrutinize everything that he does worldwide to fight back. However, IF Kamala is elected they can go back to brunch because those children will be rip to shreds by the first black woman president in America........ Ugh.

  1842. The DNC loves Trump as a way to punish the working class for asking for anything whatsoever that would affect their billionaire donors.  40 years of Neoliberalism has left everyone so desperate that DNC tinkering around the edges, is meaningless. Eventually, after 40 years of failed promises from the DNC to the working class, they're seeing if a strong man is able to deliver at the expense of the most vulnerable in our society, which is the promise of ALL fascists. Trump won't deliver obviously, BUT more importantly his failure will drive the working class back to Corporate Democrats who will offer a kinder version of the same Billionaire friendly agenda with the threat of more authoritarian GOP policies if they dare question their corporate Masters. The sad reality is that the DNC doesn't care if Trump gets elected 3 more times, what they're really concerned about is if Bernie Sanders was to give Americans universal health Care that would cost the insurance industry trillions, if Bernie Sanders would actually educate Americans, which would cost the universities trillions if Bernie was to transition to a green economy which would cost the oil Barons trillions, If Bernie was to stop endless Wars + scale back the military industrial Complex which would cost the War Pigs more than tens of trillions of dollars.  Obviously, they'd have Bernie's ass MLK'd long before he got anywhere near doing any of that But it's easier to put in a charlatan like Trump as a grim reminder that the American people only have two choices, a clown Rodeo show fascist that would take away every right the moment he thinks he can do it OR a corporate kleptocracy of Liberal oligarchs who will gamble everyone's human rights and WW3 for their ability to exploit every one in the working class to their advantage and to destroy the entire world environment so that they can go from super wealthy to insanely depraved wealthy. The system works.

  1888. Listening to Trudeau makes my skin crawl, however, I've never been a fan of the conservatives either as I remember the Harper government. They gave some upper class tax cuts for soccer mom's, petty cruelty service cuts to the elderly, disabled and veterans (& of course the usual losers but that just makes them break into my stuff more) So I'm curious as to what you think electing a conservative government will do specifically for Us? As far as I know, everyone making less than $100,000 gets a carbon CHQ (I make over the cutoff so I have never seen a check. I'll actually get a tax break), once the cons are elected people won't get that anymore as the cons have said they're going to end many programs and they're going to slash government spending which generally means that you will be paying more for services while also not receiving the carbon chq anymore either? So just in terms of a day-to-day quality of life situation, what do you actually expect will be the difference? I know Pierre said he'd make it possible to buy a home in Vancouver where I live by "stopping the gatekeepers" which sounds cool of course cuz who doesn't want that but it doesn't actually make any sense as it doesn't say how? I mean do you think Pierre is having homeless veterans put into the house next to his place LOL!? I get hating Trudeau is enjoyable cuz he really sucks bad but I just don't see how the conservatives are any different? Pierre Poillevre was in government for almost 10 years and didn't deal with any of this except deregulation of oil and gas industry that allows the pollution of rivers and lakes which is fine I guess but that's less than 10% of the economy?(*Over 70% of major shareholders in Canada's largest oil companies are foreign so most money leaves Canada) Great for his donors I suppose but even when they did it last time housing still went up almost 50% on his and Harper's watch? Anyways, I'm really hoping I'm missing something because this isn't looking good, feels like we're going from the frying pan and into the fire. Please give me ANYTHING TO HOPE FOR, PLEASE!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone & Thanks!

  1926. "Analysts say it puts a stain on the Kennedy's political Dynasty." WTF?!?! Let's be clear, I don't like Kennedy. I think he's like the rest of them, a political grifter holding his finger up to see which way the wind blows, especially the fact that he supports the Israeli slaughter of tens of thousands of women and children. However, the fact is he represented a lot of people's views and more importantly, a third party platform, which I think is the most important thing that could potentially save America as both parties want to make sure that every election is an existential choice between the evil of the other side and they couldn't use this to ensure the fact that Americans never, ever, under any circumstances what's so f**** ever have a choice other than the duopoly. Sadly, rfk Jr hasn't lived up to anything he's said in the first place and is clearly now just trying to s*** on the Democrats on the way out, which is understandable considering how completely and dishonorably they have acted in every possible way. The DNC continues to not do anything Democratic despite their namesake. Let's be honest, they f*** Bernie for two election primaries in a row and didn't even bother whatsoever this time as they knew Biden was not capable of running an election & Bernie is now also a millionaire which makes him coincidentally, a lot more agreeable. Which is exactly why the DNC had a June debate with Trump. They knew that old man Biden wouldn't listen as he's a meglomaniac and the only way they could get him to step down was to absolutely humiliate him on the world stage by not giving him his proper meds the night of, or didn't anyone else notice the fact that it was the first time he was laid out to dry?!?! Truth is been 12 years since the DNC establishment after Obama has had to listen to anyone (and if you consider Obama's terms it's actually more like 20 years of Neoliberal policies, which is exactly the way they like it) Let's be clear, Kennedy called out Joe Biden at the very beginning and said he wasn't fit to run for office. Again, RFK was mocked openly as Joe was obviously in perfect condition as confirmed by his family and staff, everyone in the DNC Establishment knew he was fine as confirmed by the highest ranking members of the DNC, everyone in the corporate media knew he was clearly fit to run for a second term in his late '80s and obviously anyone suggesting otherwise was a conservative troll, who "mocked a stutter" that wasn't present for the last 50 years. Hence, that was the reason to ostracize RFK Jr rather than listen to his concerns about the environment, unlawful restrictions on Americans movements during covid, the fact that those restrictions destroyed small businesses across the country to the benefit once again of the corporations that coincidentally, had the most to gain from these policies and donated extremely generously to the DNC. Also, the fact that Ukraine's war against Russia is completely unwinnable, as Russia is a nuclear power, not to mention the fact that losing would be an existential threat to Putin directly and anyone related to him or in his inner circle. This obviously means that they understand that their existence in every conceivable way possible is tied to this war. Let's assume. Corporate media is correct and Putin is the new Hitler, what do you think Hitler would have done with all of those nuclear bombs once forced into his bunker at the very end of his life?!?!?! Then there is the uncomfortable fact that it's definitely coming close to a million dead Young people from both sides for no f**** reason whatsoever, except for using them as cruel Pawns against Russia (The country who saved us from the Nazis. Despite what American movies tell us, it was 100% the fact that almost 30 million Russians fought and died against the Nazis and their total and complete drive towards the heart of Germany is what made most Nazis lay down their weapons and accept allied rule because they were understandably terrified of what the Russians were going to do because of all of their horrific crimes against the Russian people. Obviously, Americans are deeply, DEEPLY ignorant of this history along with so, so, so, so so so so so much more of world history, let alone their own history. That it doesn't even register how f*** up their choice to want to put nuclear weapons on Russia's border and a standing Army in Ukraine under NATO control on the Russian border, after the Americans promised for decades to not do anything like that. Then, precisely as Americans do, they did exactly what they promised not to and orchestrated a coup in Ukraine in 2014 (before you say anything about this please, for the love of God just do even the most basic research. Everyone knows that the Americans were the ones who helped overthrow the pro-russian government of Ukraine. It's why the Russians took over Crimea and why Obama didn't do anything about it. Once again the spectacular ignorance of the new American people is how this all happened. But once again I digress........ My guess is that Kennedy figures that Trump is the least likely leader to actually start world War 3 because the polls tell him that's what he should do. I think Kennedy figures that Trump doesn't actually give a s*** about what anyone thinks, which is actually probably true, however, I also think that Trump would nuke every country in Europe and sleep like a baby if he thought it would make him president for life. Damn it. I'm digressing again LOL!!! Sadly, the choice is between a megalomaniac, whose sole purpose in life is to climb the ladder, throw anyone under the bus that gets in their way, let people suffer and die just so that they can get a little further ahead and us basically a soulless husk whose only purpose is MORE.......... Sadly, our only other choice is Trump. The system works.

  1965. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate!!!! After "the people" tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder Palestinian children, drag America into middle East regional wars or implement free trade agreements that prioritize corporations over American workers. Clearly, the Democratic process doesn't work because average people would choose Bernie Sanders, Medicare for All, electoral reforms like getting money out of politics , police reform, Free trade agreements that represent workers over corporations and on and on and on. Luckily, by getting rid of all of the democratic processes that would allow people to exercise free will in a Democratic society, they have implemented a donor run Kleptocracy which allows the billionaires who run the DNC to continue to make decisions for everyone in America despite their clear and overwhelming objections!!!!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donor class that finally turned on Biden (obviously because he was so senile, he actually thought he was in charge rather than the donors lol?!?!?) With Walz as VP and Kamala's cheerleaders in the media, she's able to having to answer any difficult decisions that would inform voters on their actual policies. This allows people to believe that Kamala would be different from Biden despite there being no evidence of that except for maybe worse as she's totally beholden to the donors and AIPAC in particular. The system works.

  2087. 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.

  2157. Israel attacking Iran risks an Iranian retaliation that would set the middle East oilfields on fire, this would drive up the oil $ world energy (think of how the Russian/Ukraine war immediately increased inflation) that would ripple through the world economy and MASSIVELY INCREASE INFLATION FOR EVERYONE!!! Regardless as to how you feel about either Israel, Palestinians or Iranians for that matter, unless you are a billionaire oil field owner in either America, Russia, Mexico, Venezuela or the African dictators that would benefit from a major spike in oil prices, you will experience the worst inflation EVER in the history of humanity as it will not just affect the middle East but the supply chain all through EU/Asia/S. America that is the lifeblood of cheap labor that runs on cheap energy pumped out of the middle East?!? Why would we want to destroy your standard of living and potentially our livelihoods so that Israel can set the region on fire, ALL so that Netanyahu can avoid corruption charges as he can't face justice while he wages war on his neighbors?!?!? Who gives a shit about anyone in the middle East?!?!? As Americans, WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT EITHER PARTY'$ COMPLETE AND TOTAL COMMITMENT TO DESTROYING OUR ECONOMY ALL IN THE SERVICE OF A SMALL COUNTRY HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD, AS HURRICANE VICTIMS LOSE THEIR HOMES? OBVIOUSLY, AMERICANS ARE FINE WITH ALL OF THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MURDERED BROWN KIDS......  HOWEVER, THE REALITY IS THAT IT'S GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE'S LIFE EVERYWHERE MISERABLE JUST TO SUPPORT THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE SO THAT BILLIONAIRES ACROSS THE WORLD CAN GET RICH ON THE OIL SPIKE, MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX & REAL ESTATE FROM DEAD PALESTINIANS?!?! W.T.F!?!? SERIOUSLY....... I'M TERRIFIED OF HOW STUPID AND GREEDY THESE PEOPLE ARE.

  2168. 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.

  2189. Listening to Trudeau makes my skin crawl, however, I've never been a fan of the conservatives either as I remember the Harper government. They gave some upper class tax cuts for soccer mom's, petty cruelty service cuts to the elderly, disabled and veterans (& of course the usual losers but that just makes them break into my stuff more) So I'm curious as to what you think electing a conservative government will do specifically for Us? As far as I know, everyone making less than $100,000 gets a carbon CHQ (I make over the cutoff so I have never seen a check. I'll actually get a tax break), once the cons are elected people won't get that anymore as the cons have said they're going to end many programs and they're going to slash government spending which generally means that you will be paying more for services while also not receiving the carbon chq anymore either? So just in terms of a day-to-day quality of life situation, what do you actually expect will be the difference? I know Pierre said he'd make it possible to buy a home in Vancouver where I live by "stopping the gatekeepers" which sounds cool of course cuz who doesn't want that but it doesn't actually make any sense as it doesn't say how? I mean do you think Pierre is having homeless veterans put into the house next to his place LOL!? I get hating Trudeau is enjoyable cuz he really sucks bad but I just don't see how the conservatives are any different? Pierre Poillevre was in government for almost 10 years and didn't deal with any of this except deregulation of oil and gas industry that allows the pollution of rivers and lakes which is fine I guess but that's less than 10% of the economy?(*Over 70% of major shareholders in Canada's largest oil companies are foreign so most money leaves Canada) Great for his donors I suppose but even when they did it last time housing still went up almost 50% on his and Harper's watch? Anyways, I'm really hoping I'm missing something because this isn't looking good, feels like we're going from the frying pan and into the fire. Please give me ANYTHING TO HOPE FOR, PLEASE!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone & Thanks!

  2203. If only Americans had voted for Hilary Clinton, things would totally be different!?!?!?! Or, if the DNC hadn't forced the American middle class to PAY a larger percentage of their income then multi-billionaire DNC donors? Or, had they not supported all of the unnecessary wars that bankrupted America but enriched all of their friends in the military industrial complex? Or, if the DNC under B. Clinton hadn't imprisoned the most people EVER in a first world country (which coincidentally were overwhelming black and brown people)? Or, if they had not further hollowed out the middle class with trade agreements that favored offshoring jobs to destroy unions & coincidentally benefited the DNC'$ donor friends. Or, if the DNC hadn't fully embraced the same neoliberalism that made offshoring all of those jobs not only possible but extremely profitable at the expense of workers for the benefit of a  few. Or, if the DNC had not helped to destabilize governments all over the world that coincidentally enriched their donor's international corporations while also coincidentally driving up a massive refugee crisis with the very people they forced from their homes by those same corporate friendly policies that caused the sad & desperate mass exodus of refugees. Or, all the neoliberal broken promises and lies that led to the election of Trump in the first place.  BUT, other than that, Clinton wouldn't have totally done exactly what Biden or Obama did for all the same reasons such as the Military industrial complex, Israel, Ukraine and of course the donors.  Nope, we'd ALL be enjoying brunch in Hillary Clinton's Neoliberal Paradise!!!!!!!!!!! The system works.

  2244. Trump is the unfortunate blowback of 40 years Neoliberal DNC 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 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.  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. Then. I guess at some point they'll try the strong man and hope that maybe he delivers. He won't, of course, but that's the consequence we all have to suffer for the greed hubris of the Democratic party..  The system works

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.

  2288. Frum contributed to arguably the worst administration in American history, as their lies on the Iraq war contributed directly to the loss of around 10 trillion over the last 25 years & literally hundreds of thousands of lives. Had these Bush W charlatans not been allowed to use a GOP controlled SCOTUS in 2000 to literally steal an election, then competent people would have stopped the 9/11 attacks, therefore all that money wouldn't have been wasted or veterans lives or limbs lost. Then there wouldn't have been any 2008 crash but even if there had been, the American treasury would have been able to bail out not only the banks but also enough to help Americans to keep their homes. Then there wouldn't have been 20 years of wage stagnation that culminated in so much outrage towards the Establishment that the American people elected a deranged game show host to send a gigantic middle finger to the people who 've ruined their lives and their children live's for generations. Also, The bush doctrine of expanding NATO to the Russian border forcing Putin to react as the last two invading forces of Napoleon and Hitler used the exact same route. These people keep saying that putting nuclear weapons on the border where 70 years ago the Russian people lost almost 30 million people isn't a big deal is f**** ridiculous. Now as a result of Frum's & Pals ideological ideas, Americans haven't invested in 20 years of infrastructure, education for its youth or the ability to pay down debt and or invest in its future but instead made a small group of Frum's Friends in the military industrial complex, extremely more wealthy while weakening America against its adversaries at every turn, especially China. Could you imagine had America spent $10 trillion on advancing their capacity to educate and innovate over the last 20 years instead of sending our young men and women to die needlessly in a desert?!?! Frum, if not arrested, should at least be so ashamed to show his face that it would make more sense to smear his face in feces, then to have anything come out of his mouth, other than, "I am so sorry and ashamed of what I have done to America and the world." Trump clearly sucks, but what Bush's people have done is so vastly worse & are directly responsible for Trump's Presidency, that it shocks me to the core when I hear them spew anything and more importantly, the fact that they are now aligned with the DNC is extremely concerning to say the f**** least.

  2314. MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concern yourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?! Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............ Clearly, Medhi is a great attack dog and I'm glad that he is setting his sights on the people who are perpetrating these atrocities, however, The reality is that anyone who can so casually blow in the direction of the corporate wind, can't genuinely be trusted and is ultimately dangerous as they can never, ever, under any circumstances to be trusted not to do it again once defending the truth becomes inconvenient or expensive. Until I see Medhi actually sacrifice anything to help anyone other than himself, I will never trust him again.

  2406.  @canadabear72  yeah I just read a review, if you have money you get excellent care. Here's the conclusion (it's from a corporate media source I can send you the link if you want?) This study found that the near-poor population showed no significant difference in medical utilization compared to the Medical Aid and above-poverty-line groups, but they incurred greater out-of-pocket spending and were exposed to a higher likelihood of incurring catastrophic health expenditures. This result indicates that the near-poor group is the most vulnerable within South Korea’s population. Health policy needs to take this vulnerability of the near-poor population into account along with several factors, such as chronic disease and perceived health status, that is associated with medical use and cost in order to ensure essential services and provide protection from impoverishment by health care costs. It's more or less what I assumed, so long as you are middle class and nothing happens to you that you become poor and you only care about yourself it's a better system. I've seen a rich person become homeless (sued out of existence) and I've had friends with mental health problems who slipped through the cracks and I don't think that they deserve to suffer because they are sick and weren't born rich. Pierre Polllievere agrees with you (so does the Liberals but they can't admit it) and most of the corporate media as well. I'd just wish they'd tell it straight rather than pretending it's about anything other than themselves.

  2451. 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........ 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.

  2490. 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.

  2549.  @AlisonCrockett  hey Alison, I'm going to assume like most Democrats that you're starting this conversation from a good faith point of view. With that said, I think you're right, the DNC knew better than to use her identity as a specific selling point as it was pretty obvious that's already at the top of the Ticket marketing wise, regardless, as a multi-ethnic woman of color. Still, I was more referring to the overall messaging of the democratic party that leaned heavily towards identity politics such abortion rights, "firsts" in terms of politicians in representation and just basically identity rather than class based issues with regards to just basic affordability. I say this specifically because the DNC has a very heavy billionaire class donor background and identity issues cost absolutely nothing to those people but class issues 100% eat into their profits. That's why I bring it up as I don't think it was about kamla's particular identity or gender for that matter (that isn't to say that gender and race didn't play a part in her loss, it 150% did, but it was her ignoring genuine class-based issues that I believed gave those biases more weight than they should have had). This may be a little long and tedious, so I wouldn't blame you for not reading it. But I wrote what I thought was an explanation of the situation. That explains how I felt the entire situation has gone wrong, that not only covers this election, but the DNC in general over the last 40 years. It's not possible to address the multiple concerns without addressing the history. So, no worries if you're not feeling the rest of this post, but I just wanted to acknowledge that I appreciate you getting back to me and if you're interested please read the rest as I'm super interested in your response. However, no worries if you don't have the time or energy after all the stuff that's happened, I get it!!! Thank you! 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.

  2610. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & or will sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  2623. If only Americans had voted for Hilary Clinton, things would totally be different!?!?!?! Or, if the DNC hadn't forced the American middle class to PAY a larger percentage of their income then multi-billionaire DNC donors? Or, had they not supported all of the unnecessary wars that bankrupted America but enriched all of their friends in the military industrial complex? Or, if the DNC under B. Clinton hadn't imprisoned the most people EVER in a first world country (which coincidentally were overwhelming black and brown people)? Or, if they had not further hollowed out the middle class with trade agreements that favored offshoring jobs to destroy unions & coincidentally benefited the DNC'$ donor friends. Or, if the DNC hadn't fully embraced the same neoliberalism that made offshoring all of those jobs not only possible but extremely profitable at the expense of workers for the benefit of a few. Or, if the DNC had not helped to destabilize governments all over the world that coincidentally enriched their donor's international corporations while also coincidentally driving up a massive refugee crisis with the very people they forced from their homes by those same corporate friendly policies that caused the sad & desperate mass exodus of refugees. Or, all the neoliberal broken promises and lies that led to the election of Trump in the first place. BUT, other than that, Clinton wouldn't have totally done exactly what Biden or Obama did for all the same reasons such as the Military industrial complex, Israel, Ukraine and of course the donors. Nope, we'd ALL be enjoying brunch in Hillary Clinton's Neoliberal Paradise!!!!!!!!!!! The system works.

  2630. Lamentably, Western culture believes that human rights don't count if the other side is poor, brown and Muslim, especially when there's visible religious garb involved. Also, ALL religious fanatics, of any group, see's anyone who doesn't worship THEIR "G"od as heretics and therefore not just less than human, as even animals deserve empathy BUT as heretics, heretics are clearly EVIL and therefore don't deserve any mercy whatsoever, let alone an understanding that puts the Palestinian's SUFFERING into a historical context. Lastly & most regrettably, for the foreseeable future, every conversation discussing this must first start with a definition of the difference between Zionism (As defined by the Israeli government, with a two-tier set of Human Rights, that are specific to Jews and then everyone else), anti-Semitism & why they are not only different but sadly, has been purposely weaponized and conflated for political purposes. Not the best way to start a conversation, but is unfortunately necessary to have any kind of meaningful conversation with people genuinely interested in solutions for this horrific situation. HOWEVER, MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY, for people attempting bad faith arguments, getting them to agree to certain immutable facts are absolutely required in order not to let them muddy the waters so much so, that everything is too "complicated" and therefore nothing matters unless the victims are white. There most certainly are specific historical reasons that are important for all parties involved and need to be addressed specifically and within a historical context. Certainly not easy or satisfying BUT REQUIRED FOR ANY LASTING SOLUTION NOT INKED IN MORE BLOOD. Ugh.

While RFK Jr is not only fighting for YOUR medical Rights, Human rights, children's rights, Peace & ensuring that people are humanely considered and treated within a fair and balanced system, & especially how inconvenient "mandates" were and of course his complete commitment to mortality....... *Except of course if you are a Palestinian child, in which case over 10000 (definitely more) of them have died from lead poisoning, fed to them externally at over 500 ft per second which doesn't seem to matter to the moral giant RFK Jr or any of the other Christians clearly not interested in what Christ had to say?!?! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure RFK's still WAY better than the majority of these DNC or RNC monsters who supported the same shameless slaughter of innocent children everywhere BUT when Glenn ignores RFK'S own moral failings, Glenn leaves HIS credibility exposed to selective "moral outrage" that only applies to Democrats, who are 110% deserving of it, if not MORE, especially considering they pretend to be the arbitrators of morality themselves while applying that code even more selectively than RFK jr to say the f'n least!!!!! So, this isn't to say Glenn hasn't mentioned RFK'S moral failures before and I don't expect or even want Glenn to bring it up every couple minutes either BUT rather than hinging Glenn's argument on RFK Jr's absolute commitment to the struggle for medical justice, openness in government, I'd have just preferred Glenn said he's going after them without any of the morality preamble?!? Especially considering Rfk OPENLY supports an active pro-ethnic cleansing Israeli government, who are purposely starving children to death!?!? KNOWING full well the dire health consequences to those Palestinian kids WHO ARE NOT FULLY, LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAMAS HAS DONE OR THEIR PARENTS UNDER ANY CONSIDERATIONS OF WAR. ANYWAYS, kids....... 14 and under  (* I think it's unfair to put a child or anyone for that matter into a pressure cooker religious open-air prison where they've starved for literally generations and then ask them to rise above their conditions & peacefully seek a solution despite their families and children being brutally executed for over 70 years?!? I certainly wouldn't have that moral fortitude myself BUT I also don't claim any area as a religious Holy land (either of them!?!) that I need to sacrifice my actual children to in the name of my God and therefore any sacrifices are worth it?!? I'd just move but that's not the point! Point being, murder is murder and most kinds of religious understanding is not to accept it under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES except for ACTUAL LEGITIMATE SELF DEFENSE (The kind where people are in the actual act of killing you and then you kill them defending yourself in combat rather than bombing children cowering in tents from a few kilometers away moving faster than the speed of sound) However, for the overwhelming majority of human history, if you execute an act of War, then you are culpable and bare the consequences of those choices, just like the people you killed. With that said, 14-year-old's who get a gun rammed in their back and are strapped up with explosives and told that their families are going to be murdered, "If they don't do what they are told, they are commanded to, by the apostles of God?!?! These "children"  do not carry the same moral culpability as the rest of us, as they're incapable of understanding the reality of letting your entire family being raped, tortured & murdered for their one God, as a consequence for the denial to carry out the act of God's word as commanded by his Righteous Apostle. Anyone, who says that a tween with roughly less than a 10O months on earth should be morally culpable for his actions based on the worst circumstances literally on Earth, is either being totally disingenuous, is also an immoral religious zealot & or is an a****-ish moron.  """"HORRIFIC, BUT IT MUST BE ADDRESSED,"""" DESPITE THESE 15-17 YEAR OLD ARE "ADULTS" (At this age, I don't honestly believe you are fully culpable for your actions, however, if you were carrying a weapon of war that has the power to destroy other people's lives then unfortunately you are now acting as an adult. Yet 15-17 year olds WHO'S BRAINS HAVE NEVER ENJOYED ADEQUATE NUTRITION TO FULLY FORM, ARE EXPECTED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, REGARDLESS OF THEM NEVER HAVING BEEN IN CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES, EVER, EVEN ONCE ARE BEING INSTANTLY CONVICTED ON SIGHT (BROWN, EQUALS MUSLIM, WHICH MEANS GUILTY) BY VIRTUE OF BEING THERE. PUNISHMENT WITHOUT EVIDENCE CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING WHICH INCLUDES BUT NOT RESTRICTED TO; LOSS OF ALL MATERIAL ASSETS & or loss of GENERATIONAL FAMILY RESIDENCE PERMANENTALY, DEATH, DEATH & TORTURE, DEATH OF ENTIRE FAMILY & OR TORTURE, & OR MULTIPLE SEXUAL ASSAULTS Glenn, I hate the DNC, RNC and the establishment that supports both these corrupt parties but once RFK Jr enthusiastically cheered for the Israeli killing spree as most "Palestinians are the most pampered people on earth," in their open air prison while & embraced the duopoly he lost the "benefit of the doubt" especially considering the understanding these kids will be stalked by not only the extremely painful memories of watching family members murdered in front of them as well as slowly becoming emaciated until death by what I'm told is the most excruciating way to go, starvation BUT EVERY GENERATION WILL SUFFER A MYRIAD OF HEALTH CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL NOT JUST AFFECT THEM BUT THEIR CHILDREN, AS WELL AS THIER GRANDCHILDREN ( Just look up the many research papers on the survivors of Auschwitz and other concentration camps around the world, there is many provable ongoing issues that affect some of the victims to this day.)  Anyone claiming moral superiority while also not speaking out about this diminishes their credibility in every possible way. I genuinely hope that RFK Jr really does have the best interest of Americans at heart, but anyone who can turn A blind eye to children's starving to death is a person I can't trust or understand and why you are placing your credibility on him is something I don't understand and find very disturbing?!?! I hope you are right for Everyone's sake!?!?

  2674. I appreciate that Americans don't give a s*** when a bunch of brown people die, obviously It's how the country was built. However, when Israel eventually attacks Iran for no reason, other than keeping Netanyahu out of prison for corruption, they will blow up the infrastructure of oil in the middle East, causing the greatest spike of inflation the world has ever seen as the region burns!?! So, regardless of the fact that Americans don't give a s*** about all of the senseless murder of children that they pay for, they should actually give a s*** about the inevitable blowback of not just generations of people looking for vengeance, BUT more importantly, the inevitable monetary consequences of the policy of endless war inspired by the open RACISTS IN THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT. Specifically, even the LEAST PROBLEMATIC ISSUE being that the ENTIRE world not having access to cheap Saudi crude as iran will blow it up first is the WORLD'S PROBLEM?!?! Americans are unfortunately too stupid to understand how universally hated the Saudi government is, but the overwhelming majority of the middle East would celebrate anything that was bad for the massively despised MBS Prince. *especially if it humiliated and or causes problems for the Americans as they are hated roughly the same. Still, despite the staggering levels of the American electorate's soul crushing ignorance about pretty much everything, I would hope that even they get that destroying the middle East would drive up energy costs for everything in the entire f*** world (85% manufacturing is done everywhere else other than the USA, so even if it's done by USA contracted Corporate slave labor in China, it's still going to pay the additional costs of energy that's passed on to the consumer. Sadly, even slaves can't make stuff even cheaper unless we can somehow figure out a way to make them pay for their own slave labor!?!? I'm sure there's someone in the DNC diligently working away at it!) and therefore inflation on literally every item, even the stuff they make with American energy as American energy companies would also exploit every nickel of inflation, every drop of Muslim blood to exploit the situation to the utmost! However, the reality is that America is massively dependent on a global supply chain built on exploiting cheap energy throughout the world so that the American corporate leadership can avoid paying taxes or Americans decent wages by exploiting poor working conditions & explicitly exploitive governments in other countries with zero environmental concerns and therefore rely solely on their ability to exploit the cheap energy sent from the middle East to those countries that America corporation's rely on to effectively undercut American small business as Americans actually make a much better product but can't compete against slaves and exploitive resources.REGARDLESS OF THE OBVIOUS RACE TO THE BOTTOM AS RUINING SMALL BUSINESS MAIN ST HAS BEEN THE BACKBONE OF AMERICAN ECONOMIC POLICY FOR 40 YEARS SO THAT'S BEEN THE PLAN FOR AWHILE. THE REALITY NOW IS THAT EXPLOITING SLAVES ISN'T ENOUGH FOR AMERICA'S ELITE COMMITMENT TO THE ZIONISTS CRUSADE AGAINST THE EVIL MUSLIM HOARDES. ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN!!!!! This is all to say, even a massive corporate captured party like the DNC stands to lose everything from letting Israel murder hundreds of thousands of people and start world War 3. All in the pursuit of killing as many Arabian people as possible but also keeping Netanyahu out of jail for corruption?!?! I totally understand corruption, I totally understand trying to go from wealthy to insanely unnecessarily super wealthy but what I don't understand is risking everything for what I can understand is absolutely nothing, other than the ability of a small group of religious zealots wanting to murder vast swaths of women and children all for their insane Zionist Inquisition and or Crusade?!?!?! WTF Millionaires, multi-millionaires, billionaires and multi-billionaires all need to be asking yourselves a question!?!? If I support a genocide and destabilize the entire world economy to placate a group of insane religious zealots, do I have to eventually be more worried about my indentured slaves hating me for ruining the world or Zionist Religious fanatics?!? Don't stop this insanity or workers, clearly no one gives a s*** about us but If you want your breakfast, eggs Benedict to have perfectly poached eggs, I suggest that you at least let them know that their family won't be murdered for no reason other than the color of their skin.

  2711. 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.

  2750. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & or will sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  2752. 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........ 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 a genocide. 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.

  2783. VP Harris is going to continue to support the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children. The DNC is a vote to offshore jobs with "free trade", endless wars and genocide. HOWEVER, the parents of those murdered children can take solace in the fact that our first black woman President PAID to have those kids executed! Or? Stop supporting the duopoly that has sold out the American working class to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Vote for ANY 3rd party, just to let the DNC know that you don't support tax breaks for billionaires or the slaughter of innocent children, it's the only way they will stop doing both. Sadly, the American people tried to elect Bernie Sanders, TWICE. Now, for a third time the elites have not allowed the American people to choose their leader but instead imposed someone who supports unnecessary corporate inflation, the Military Industry Complex rather than helping Americans and crucially, the ongoing genocide in Gaza (every bomb dropped on a child, is literally a library full of books, that are missing in America.) Vote 3rd party if you don't want to be complicit in the execution of those children or the further erosion of democracy? Sadly, if Trump wins he'll do the same thing & in similar numbers as both parties support Netanyahu's genocidal campaign BUT because Trump is hated, people will actually scrutinize everything that he does worldwide to fight back. However, IF Kamala is elected they can go back to brunch because those children will be rip to shreds by the first black woman president in America........ Ugh.

  2807. 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, 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 (Panther Party is for lack of a better term that has historical context for a parallel political government). The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, trade agreements that are worker centric, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources of the PP 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 PP (Panther Party)for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors (by direct means or omission) we will use our resources to make their 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, the inevitable climate wars are coming. Unless we start organizing now and use our time, $ and souls in pursuit of an organization that is going to support us when the System collapses we will find ourselves without the ability to survive to fight back. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Panther Party

  2820. 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.

  2853. The South America Columbian President's quote at the U.N. about "Palestine, being the past, present and future of South America," is correct and as I've been saying for some time, Palestinians are the canary in the fascism coal mine. Once we normalize genocide in Gaza & the climate catastrophe unfolds into a pretext for fascism to address the obvious issues that are inevitable as a result of climate catastrophe. The genocidal war machine, once completing the example of the benefits of genocides while also serving proof that it can be done, will be exported to the next inconvenient people sitting atop the resources & or land as the Establishment MUST consume developing nations raw resources without adding anything to their economic development as the lifeblood of neoliberalism is using those raw resources for added value profit BUT more importantly, denying those nations people the ability to not only profit from value added products rather than resource extraction that only enriches the elite if that country BUT more importantly excludes the type of Professional managerial class (PMC). That type of economic development would increase this class of people who would be the ones that could not only help further develop the economy & help train other generations of people who could further develop the nation's economy and resources. Worst of all, it is this intellectual class issue of the PMC that would be able to organize and fight back against the absolute obvious, exploitation of their Nation. Most importantly, the West has learned that they have to always exclude the PMC of any developing nations from any process, as they understand the mechanisms of exploitation which makes them extremely dangerous as they can articulate it to the masses. Eventually, genocide WILL be exported everywhere, until it MUST be brought home as citizens will eventually understand that they will receive NOTHING from the constant murder of civilian communities and then even racism won't be enough

  2914. I can tell you what I'm not going to do. I will not endorse giving 2,000 lb bombs to murder children because that's what you endorse when you say that the DNC bares no responsibility for giving the Israeli government 2000 lb bombs to murder the Palestinian children?!? Still, at some point....... While, I'm at a protest, I'll have to talk to and defend my governments position towards all Palestinians whose friends, relatives, best friends, direct relatives, daughters, sons, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and or person who are holding a family unit together in Palestine, despite the fact that they're besieged by the most medieval persecution in modern history and has to also help the person I care about because our government doesn't prioritize the only persecuted Gazan's with no money and or political options to actually protect themselves against the Israelis who we are arming to the teeth to the tune of tens of billions for generations?!?!! Justify the mass slaughter of children all you want but the reality is that only ONE side has thousands of bombs that weigh more than anything the other side literally owns .......... At great tedious detail, none of these facts discount Hamas's crimes against humanity, which they MUST pay for so that THESE CRIMES aren't replicated without the acknowledgment that THEY WILL pay for their crimes regardless of how shitty Netanyahu is. However, if WE COLLECTIVELY accept the crimes of the IDF, then we not only accept that the rules of war are not only officially DEAD, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, that we have now returned to a system that doesn't recognize international law, ANY human rights or UN obligations (unfortunately, human rights work exactly like free speech rights. If they don't apply to everyone, including the people that you hate for legitimate reasons, then they don't apply to anyone ever and don't therefore matter.) Once we throw away the rules based order to protect Israel's slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian men, women and children because

  2944. The DNC loves Trump as a way to punish the working class for asking for anything whatsoever that would affect their billionaire donors. 40 years of Neoliberalism has left everyone so desperate that DNC tinkering around the edges, is meaningless. Eventually, after 40 years of failed promises from the DNC to the working class, they're seeing if a strong man is able to deliver at the expense of the most vulnerable in our society, which is the promise of ALL fascists. Trump won't deliver obviously, BUT more importantly his failure will drive the working class back to Corporate Democrats who will offer a kinder version of the same Billionaire friendly agenda with the threat of more authoritarian GOP policies if they dare question their corporate Masters. The sad reality is that the DNC doesn't care if Trump gets elected 3 more times, what they're really concerned about is if Bernie Sanders was to give Americans universal health Care that would cost the insurance industry trillions, if Bernie Sanders would actually educate Americans, which would cost the universities trillions if Bernie was to transition to a green economy which would cost the oil Barons trillions, If Bernie was to stop endless Wars + scale back the military industrial Complex which would cost the War Pigs more than tens of trillions of dollars. Obviously, they'd have Bernie's ass MLK'd long before he got anywhere near doing any of that But it's easier to put in a charlatan like Trump as a grim reminder that the American people only have two choices, a clown Rodeo show fascist that would take away every right the moment he thinks he can do it OR a corporate kleptocracy of Liberal oligarchs who will gamble everyone's human rights and WW3 for their ability to exploit every one in the working class to their advantage and to destroy the entire world environment so that they can go from super wealthy to insanely depraved wealthy. The system works.

  2997. Conservatives and Liberals both sold out to China Just remember that Polllievere voted for FIPA trade agreement with China in 2012 and Trudeau ratified it when you think there's a difference between these two. Both Liberals and Conservatives represent Corporations not Canadians. The record of Pierre's time in the Harper government tells the real story, here's some of the details. Canadian governments are locked in for a generation. If Canada finds the deal unsatisfactory, it cannot be cancelled completely for 31 years. China benefits much more than Canada, because of a clause allowing existing restrictions in each country to stay in place. Chinese companies get to play on a relatively level field in Canada, while maintaining wildly arbitrary practices and rules for Canadian companies in China. Chinese companies will be able to seek redress against any laws passed by any level of government in Canada which threaten their profits. Australia has decided not to enter FIPA agreements specifically because they allow powerful corporations to challenge legislation on social, environmental and economic issues. Chinese companies investing heavily in Canadian energy will be able to seek billions in compensation if their projects are hampered by provincial laws on issues such as environmental concerns or First Nations rights, for example. Cases will be decided by a panel of professional arbitrators, and may be kept secret at the discretion of the sued party. This extraordinary provision reflects an aversion to transparency and public debate common to the Harper cabinet and the Chinese politburo. Differences between FIPA and the North American Free Trade Agreement may offer intriguing loopholes for American lawyers to argue for equal treatment under the principle of Most Favoured Nation. Does that sound like "FREEDOM" to you?

  3064. Obama assassinated an American citizen who was accused of terrorism and then his teenage son was murdered as well without charge or even evidence. When an American President can muder citizens without due process than the constitution has already been thrown away with impunity. The duopoly only complains when it's the other side BUT that's just to give cover for the obvious fact that there's 2 sets of rules, 1. The Establishment is above the Law unless they are polically inconvenient & they don't have political skeletons to threaten, think B. Menendez who only did ol' fashioned BUT he did it the incorrect way by taking payments upfront instead of the proper way like The Clintons getting paid millions in speaking fees for taking care of interest groups. Then there's Gov. Cuomo who colluded with insurance companies to change safety laws in oldage homes so that they could all be shoved in together if they got Covid saving them millions at the cost of seniors who died alone for their greed. He was politically inconvenient BUT unfortunately he has many DNC skeletons as his family is a political dynasty, therefore a resignation for crimes considerably less egregious that served as a distraction of what could be credibly argued to be mass murder if it could be proved they fully understood the obvious results of placing elderly patients together with Covid. That's why its laughable to believe that the current SCOTUS is anything other than a continuation of business as usual. In fact, at least it rips away the veneer of legitimacy from corrupt court used to protect corrupt politicians. The system works. The system works.

  3076. It's hard to overstate how much the United States is currently HATED for what they've encouraged Netanyahu to do to the tens of thousands of children in Gaza. Previously, Israel had October 7th as an excuse to murder & cause mass amputations that would encourage Palestinians to leave Gaza. However, the mass slaughter of children in Lebanon is going to be harder for CNN to pretend isn't just a racist lynching of biblical proportions!?! Don't get me wrong, they'll have Jake Tapper out there and Dana bash singing the praises of the morality of Israel's literal piles of dead babies and severed limbs BUT the rest of the world is going towards de-dollarization & China, because the USA is clearly insane. Obviously, everyone knows that Americans supports the slaughtering of children to keep Netanyahu out of prison for proven corruption and they also know that anyone who's not an English speaking white person could be next........ shit, even WHITE PEOPLE could be next as Israel already executed White famous world kitchen staff. Clearly Israel doesn't give a f*** because they know Biden is their bitch. I understand why Netanyahu is willing to merciously execute children as he doesn't see Palestinians as actual human beings BUT I can't possibly understand what Americans get out of it?!?!??! I mean, we even have rules for the way way we treat animals. Can you imagine if we showed a video of bombing a field of baby calves with parts of their faces blown off and their limbs everywhere?!?! Not sure how being Brown changes things that much.............

  3091. it's like 9/11, Netanyahu let it happen to terrify people into letting him destroy civil rights, undermine the supreme court and ensure that there is never a 2 state solution. The system works. Hamas attacking Israeli civilians as a form of collective punishment for their support of the Israeli government is totally unacceptable so the United States supports Israel's collective punishment of the Palestinians which is totally different........ Obviously Hamas attacking innocent women and children as collective punishment for the Israeli government's cruelty should be met with indiscriminate killings of innocent Palestinian women and children. Israel is responsible for the deaths of 82 Palestinian children since 2022 (murders only, doesn't include the 80 children who died today from IDF bombs or from lack of access to medical treatment or nutrition). However, they're brown and Muslim so it doesn't count, therefore you won't see Palestinian parents crying on the MSM for their murdered children (just to be 100% clear, these children were not involved in any crimes, just collateral damage). This doesn't justify terrorist killings of Israeli's but to pretend that this is an unprovoked attack is ridiculous. Sadly, extremists in both Hamas and Netanyahu's governments have caused the deaths of so many people. The unqualified support of Israel"s apartheid regime has added to this this horrific loss of life. Western nations need to demand better from both sides and withhold funding until immediate changes are made.

Dementia Joe is who he will obviously now be called because genocide Joe doesn't make sense, as he's clearly not the one in charge & it says everything about the Democrat party. The white house is obviously run by a bunch of goddamn donors and the people who control Washington and not that dodering old man who can't goddamn string two f**** sentences together. Clearly, Biden will not be running for president as he should be sent to an old-timers home as anyone with any goddamn eyes or ears understands. The real question is the obvious fact that they would rather Trump win then to do anything for the American people because any sort of primary would have brought in a Bernie Sanders which the DNC despises because they wouldn't agree with genocide, endless wars or tax breaks for billionaires and supporting universal healthcare for Americans like literally every other normal first world country. Obviously, we're all going to die as a result of the dnc's complete and total capitulation to the donor class, the Israelis and The military industrial complex. I can't describe how angry I am. Oh wait, I think I just did.......... How the f*** can they justify this completely horrific s**show that's coming down the pipe?!?! You people suck, the mainstream media sucks and worst of all Joe Biden sucks so bad that he makes Trump look reasonable. F** you & the billionaires who run America. I guess we understand now why Biden is Netanyahu 's B****. The system works.

  3106. Frum arguably contributed to the worst administration in American history, the blowback to these failures eventually led to Trump as their lies on the Iraq war contributed directly to the loss of around $10 trillion over the last 25 years & literally hundreds of thousands of lives?!? Had these Bush W charlatans not been allowed to use a GOP controlled SCOTUS in 2000 to literally steal an election, then "relatively" competent people would have stopped the 9/11 attacks, therefore all that money wouldn't have been wasted or veterans lives or limbs lost. Then there wouldn't have been any 2008 crash but even if there had been, the American treasury would have been able to bail out not just the banks but also enough to help Americans to keep their homes which wouldn't have undermined the entire middle class for Generations?!?! Then there wouldn't have been 20 years of wage stagnation that culminated in so much outrage towards the Establishment that the American people wouldn't have elected a deranged game show host to send a gigantic middle finger to the people who 've ruined their lives and their children live's for generations. Also, The Bush doctrine of expanding NATO to the Russian border, forcing Putin to react, seeing as the last two invading forces of Napoleon and Hitler used the exact same route. The people who keep saying that putting nuclear weapons on the border where 70 years ago the Russian people lost almost 30 million people In literally the bloodiest war in human history, isn't a "big deal" isn't just utterly ridiculous, It's actually insulting to their country that played a decisive role in defeating the Nazis in WW2?!? Now, as a result of Frum's & associates ideological insanity against Russia, Americans haven't invested in 20 years of infrastructure, education for its youth or the ability to pay down debt and or invest in its own future BUT instead made a small group of Frum's Friends in the military industrial complex, even more wealthy at the expense of weakening Americans defense capabilities against its adversaries at every turn, especially China?!? Could you imagine had America spent $10 trillion on advancing their capacity to educate and innovate over the last 20 years, instead of sending our young men and women to die needlessly in a desert to protect the Bush family business of Texas oil with their friends the Saudis?!?! Like Katrina, all of the different disasters and or hurricanes, all that trillions of dollars to rebuild America better so that everyone has jobs?!?! Nope, sorry our friends need that money to get their third home in Israel?!?! Frum should be ashamed of his contribution to his clear contribution to the people's (Cheney's?!?) dedication to profiting off hundreds of thousands of innocent dead Iraqis, thousands of dead American soldiers (not to mention many who killed themselves when they came home short a "couple limbs" & with diseases from burn pits, that returned them from fighting Bush's Illegal Wars against two countries that weren't even the ones who did 9/11?!?!? Seriously, how this has been memory holed, could arguably be one of the greatest crimes of our Generationsy history?!?!?! Unfortunately, Saudi Arabia were bi-partisan bestestest friends forever with the Bush's & Clinton's?!?!! Both parties continue to be crucial recipients of Saudi money as well as diplomatic support to and from, Prince MBS. Still, the massive loss of treasury, which sacrificed investment in America's future in terms of educating the next generation of STEM graduates who are literally the future of anything that will make a country competitive? ( & Why China Is eating America's lunch). We're completely thrown under the bus, as that money was instead given to military contractors that built f-35s that were completely incapable of doing anything they were hired for, to the tune of trillions of dollars. That's just one example of many, many, many others where in fact, they're incapable of accounting for the many trillions of losses that have been purposely misappropriated so that Mr Frum's associates can continue to steal America's future & or any options to actually protect it in a meaningful way. Frum, I can only hope that your complicity in the many crimes against humanity will be documented so that even if you escape justice now, your legacy will be forever tarnished & your family ashamed of the family name. (" Wait, you're a Frum!?! That guy who helped America slaughter all of those people in Afghanistan and Iraq for no reason other than the president had daddy issues and wanted to exploit the middle East for America's purposes & resources? Wow! How shameful!.......) Trump clearly is terrible, but what Bush's people have done is so vastly worse & are directly responsible for the conditions that were absolutely responsible for Trump's Presidency. So much so, that it shocks me to the core when I hear you spew anything about democracy or lying BUT most importantly, the fact that YOU are now more aligned with the DNC's complicity with the military industrial complex while pretending to serve north america, instead of yourself obviously, over the literal thousands of dead bodies who were inconvenient in your pursuit to extract as much money as was humanly possible for any consideration for anyone other than yourself and every nickel you could extrac with total impunity & total disregard for the people's lives you cost or the horrific trail of dead you left in your path. I'd super appreciate you let me know your justification, as I'd like to be able to send it to the people's families you helped Slaughter? Or the people who are mimicking your game plan of Lying their way into murder for profit, to the tunes of billions, if not trillions?!? As I'm sure you're probably a multi -millionaire now and many other similar Republicans & Democrats are looking at what you've accomplished without any conscience!?! Therefore, they've obviously thought about how many tens of thousands of dead brown women and children would it take for them to accomplish the same thing and If there's any possibility to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity that you've managed to profit off from without repercussions?!? The system works.

  3196. "Left Washing" is unfortunately real. Using the "center left opinion" (Liberals) to sell Corporate talking points of blaming the working class as racists despite people of color also going to Trump, OR the actual Left, like Bernie for demanding that billionaires pay their fair share of taxes & not support using Ukrainians as canon fodder as both parties knows that the ukrainians will never be able to beat a massively larger Russia that is nuclear armed while approaching a million dead soldiers, let alone the millions that are injured and or the entire infrastructure in cities decimated for generations, the full-throated support of Netanyahu's murderous rampage against not only Gaza, Westbank, Lebanon, Syria & Iran, Let alone the war both parties want with China which would be insane for all the very obvious reasons!?!?(NONE OF THEM EVER MENTIONED THE INSANE INFLATION FROM ISRAEL SETTING THE REGION ON FIRE ONCE, IT WOULD TOTALLY DESTABILIZE THE ENTIRE WORLD ECONOMY DRIVING THE WEST'S ENEMIES EVEN CLOSER TOGETHER AND DESTROYING WHAT'S LEFT OF THE DOLLAR. AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO WONDER IF THEY'RE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE FOR F*** SAKE!?!?! The "center Left" (like J Carville, morning Joe & their ilk) get paid to say that they support the DNC establishment's militarism, support of Billionaires, while blaming workers for not wanting to compete against a refugee who is escaping a country that America destroyed & sanctioned & flee to THAT place as they're not dropping 2000 lbs bombs there. American workers aren't racist, they're desperate and the rent's too F**** high!?!? The DNC did this on purpose to keep wages low for their billionaire donors and to force competition between these two groups that would divide them, which was a huge issue that depressed not only the Muslim vote, black, brown, women and youth. However, the billionaires that pay the consultants & corporate "opinions" would not appreciate that "truth bomb," so that part of the analysis is conveniently left off the table The system works

  3200. Let's all remember that CTV is owned by billionaires and that they hate the liberal/NDP coalition government and have supported the conservatives and their tax breaks for billionaires in almost every single election. I'm no fan of the Liberals, but let's be honest, the conservatives are going to give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy (mainstream media), service cuts to everyone else, slightly less mass immigration (look up the numbers, the Cons are almost exactly the same on immigration) and of course petty cruelty to anyone who needs help like veterans, the disabled or anyone else who can't help the conservatives get more power and money. If you don't believe me, look up their record or I can send it to you if you want. I understand hating Trudeau, he's a bumbling imbecile but sadly Pierre is something much more dangerous. Pierre is actually very smart and he knows how to manipulate people into voting against their own interests. Don't get me wrong, I get that people are going to do that anyways because they are grossly ignorant of the facts of Pierre's voting record in the 9 years of the Harper government & it's relentless support of corporations and the ultra wealthy. But eventually those choices will come home to roost and people will remember why they kicked out Harper and almost 10 years of debt-ridden government broken promises. Sadly, it'll be after Pierre sells off a bunch of important Canadian infrastructure/land just like Harper did on his last year in government to the highest bidder in order to pretend that he balanced the budget (could you imagine selling your house and then having to rent it from the new owners while telling your family that the balance sheet looks good as your money goes to the landlord every month?!?!).  The conservatives ran out the back door with bags of money (Cons foreign minister Baird literally left government & worked for a Chinese billionaire and a f##$ing Gold mine. It's f**** cartoonish?!?!). Clearly, Pierre is one of the greatest snake oil salesman of our time, even more depressing is that the Canadian people will have to pick up the tab as always on the back of working Canadians. P.s. had Trudeau actually ended first-past-the-post system (FPTP) which he campaigned on and then didn't bring in proportional representation because it allowed Liberals to rule unopposed is why we are going to have a majority conservative government (last time it was 34% of the electorate that voted for conservatives but won a majority )even though the overwhelming majority of Canadians actually don't support that. I understand how much we all f**** hate Trudeau, he is a selfish, entitled horrible piece of s*** that has doomed Canada for the next generation because of his selfishness to conservative corporate rule. F*** Trudeau I hope he gets rectal cancer. The system works.

  3221. 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.

  3222. The Russian part of Ukraine is lost, along with Crimea, as Zielinski unfortunately believed Boris Johnson which is semi-laughable. But what is downright goddamn hysterical is believing that Americans would have "their backs." LOL. America has screwed every single partner, it's ever had other than Britain. Americans immediately started to try to screw Russia after WW2, Despite the fact that the Russians are who actually won world War II through the loss of 27 million people that nobody ever talks about and pretends isn't also a factor when discussing the fact that Hitler used Ukraine as a staging ground for his invasion of Russia, or the fact that is exactly how Napoleon attacked Russia as well, therefore the reason he said NATO there was a redline. It didn't help that Americans backed the coup against the democratically elected leader of Ukraine who supported the Russian trade agreement instead of the European one. So The americans had him replaced By zielinski, also there's a number of well-documented policy papers from the American military establishment that clearly states the intent with Russia is to balkanize it and once it's in pieces to rob resources and leave its people with nothing like it has done with every single country that's allowed that to happen. Only Americans are stupid enough to believe that "democracy" has anything to do with the motivations of the American establishment. Even the most ignorant of peasants anywhere else in the world understands that America's plan is to kill their leaders, set up a puppet leader, extract their resources while enslaving their population and ensuring that actual democracy never arrives as it would threaten the resource extraction by American corporations LIKE IT HAS DONE WITH EVERY OTHER COUNTRY EVER!!!!!!! Pod Save our Status unlike the overwhelming majority of ignorant Americans understands everything I've just said and somehow tries to justify it on a daily basis. They don't seem like evil people but I guess that's how the statement the banality of evil works because no one actually thinks it's them, I WOULD PAY $1,000 TO LISTEN TO THEM JUSTIFY THIS S*** TO THEMSELVES OR EACH OTHER LOL!!. However, the DNC is continuing to help murder children in Palestine on a daily basis while backing Netanyahu's plan to start a war with Iran, which American taxpayers will have to pay for and the rest of the world will have to suffer the worst inflation in living memory if not ever, as a result of the region going up in flames. Still, these people just don't give a s*** so long as they maintain their status along side the people with more blood on their hands than anyone else of this generation. How the f*** do you people sleep at night? The system works.

  3236. While RFK Jr is not only fighting for YOUR medical Rights, Human rights, children's rights, Peace & ensuring that people are humanely considered and treated within a fair and balanced system, & especially how inconvenient "mandates" were and of course his complete commitment to mortality....... *Except of course if you are a Palestinian child, in which case over 10000 (definitely more) of them have died from lead poisoning, fed to them externally at over 500 ft per second which doesn't seem to matter to the moral giant RFK Jr or any of the other Christians clearly not interested in what Christ had to say?!?! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure RFK's still WAY better than the majority of these DNC or RNC monsters who supported the same shameless slaughter of innocent children everywhere BUT when Glenn ignores RFK'S own moral failings, Glenn leaves HIS credibility exposed to selective "moral outrage" that only applies to Democrats, who are 110% deserving of it, if not MORE, especially considering they pretend to be the arbitrators of morality themselves while applying that code even more selectively than RFK jr to say the f'n least!!!!! So, this isn't to say Glenn hasn't mentioned RFK'S moral failures before and I don't expect or even want Glenn to bring it up every couple minutes either BUT rather than hinging Glenn's argument on RFK Jr's absolute commitment to the struggle for medical justice, openness in government, I'd have just preferred Glenn said he's going after them without any of the morality preamble?!? Especially considering Rfk OPENLY supports an active pro-ethnic cleansing Israeli government, who are purposely starving children to death!?!? KNOWING full well the dire health consequences to those Palestinian kids WHO ARE NOT FULLY, LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAMAS HAS DONE OR THEIR PARENTS UNDER ANY CONSIDERATIONS OF WAR. ANYWAYS, kids....... 14 and under  (* I think it's unfair to put a child or anyone for that matter into a pressure cooker religious open-air prison where they've starved for literally generations and then ask them to rise above their conditions & peacefully seek a solution despite their families and children being brutally executed for over 70 years?!? I certainly wouldn't have that moral fortitude myself BUT I also don't claim any area as a religious Holy land (either of them!?!) that I need to sacrifice my actual children to in the name of my God and therefore any sacrifices are worth it?!? I'd just move but that's not the point! Point being, murder is murder and most kinds of religious understanding is not to accept it under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES except for ACTUAL LEGITIMATE SELF DEFENSE (The kind where people are in the actual act of killing you and then you kill them defending yourself in combat rather than bombing children cowering in tents from a few kilometers away moving faster than the speed of sound) However, for the overwhelming majority of human history, if you execute an act of War, then you are culpable and bare the consequences of those choices, just like the people you killed. With that said, 14-year-old's who get a gun rammed in their back and are strapped up with explosives and told that their families are going to be murdered, "If they don't do what they are told, they are commanded to, by the apostles of God?!?! These "children"  do not carry the same moral culpability as the rest of us, as they're incapable of understanding the reality of letting your entire family being raped, tortured & murdered for their one God, as a consequence for the denial to carry out the act of God's word as commanded by his Righteous Apostle. Anyone, who says that a tween with roughly less than a 10O months on earth should be morally culpable for his actions based on the worst circumstances literally on Earth, is either being totally disingenuous, is also an immoral religious zealot & or is an a****-ish moron.  """"HORRIFIC, BUT IT MUST BE ADDRESSED,"""" DESPITE THESE 15-17 YEAR OLD ARE "ADULTS" (At this age, I don't honestly believe you are fully culpable for your actions, however, if you were carrying a weapon of war that has the power to destroy other people's lives then unfortunately you are now acting as an adult. Yet 15-17 year olds WHO'S BRAINS HAVE NEVER ENJOYED ADEQUATE NUTRITION TO FULLY FORM, ARE EXPECTED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, REGARDLESS OF THEM NEVER HAVING BEEN IN CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES, EVER, EVEN ONCE ARE BEING INSTANTLY CONVICTED ON SIGHT (BROWN, EQUALS MUSLIM, WHICH MEANS GUILTY) BY VIRTUE OF BEING THERE. PUNISHMENT WITHOUT EVIDENCE CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING WHICH INCLUDES BUT NOT RESTRICTED TO; LOSS OF ALL MATERIAL ASSETS & or loss of GENERATIONAL FAMILY RESIDENCE PERMANENTALY, DEATH, DEATH & TORTURE, DEATH OF ENTIRE FAMILY & OR TORTURE, & OR MULTIPLE SEXUAL ASSAULTS Glenn, I hate the DNC, RNC and the establishment that supports both these corrupt parties but once RFK Jr enthusiastically cheered for the Israeli killing spree as most "Palestinians are the most pampered people on earth," in their open air prison while & embraced the duopoly he lost the "benefit of the doubt" especially considering the understanding these kids will be stalked by not only the extremely painful memories of watching family members murdered in front of them as well as slowly becoming emaciated until death by what I'm told is the most excruciating way to go, starvation BUT EVERY GENERATION WILL SUFFER A MYRIAD OF HEALTH CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL NOT JUST AFFECT THEM BUT THEIR CHILDREN, AS WELL AS THIER GRANDCHILDREN ( Just look up the many research papers on the survivors of Auschwitz and other concentration camps around the world, there is many provable ongoing issues that affect some of the victims to this day.)  Anyone claiming moral superiority while also not speaking out about this diminishes their credibility in every possible way. I genuinely hope that RFK Jr really does have the best interest of Americans at heart, but anyone who can turn A blind eye to children's starving to death is a person I can't trust or understand and why you are placing your credibility on him is something I don't understand and find very disturbing?!?! I hope you are right for Everyone's sake!?!?

  3285. Have you ever noticed that PP's solutions are always the ones where Canadian taxpayers reward the industries that specifically donate to PP's campaign to the tune of multimillions, also seems to specifically benefit his particular base of power in the populations that support him specifically? He also seems to be just fine with throwing dairy management + a lot of the priorities of the East coasts industries under the bus as they don't generally tend to support conservatives (just for the record, I like Canadian dairy, milk, eggs, look it up as we get a higher quality product for a better price as I don't want a bunch of chemical hormone garbage that Americans flood our market with). Don't get me wrong, obviously oil and gas is extremely important but let's keep in mind that it's still less than 10% of GDP and the other 90% of the country is more relevant in terms of business and jobs. Also, my concern with PP is that he and Danielle Smith have made it abundantly clear that they will prioritize their people first at the expense of everyone else and considering the fact that NAFTA was originally negotiated under a conservative government which screwed Canadian businesses & workers in the first place so that doesn't't exactly inspire confidence that PP's not going to be willing to throw most Canadians under the bus again to protect himself, his donors & corporate donors again?!? Liberals are terrible BUT at least they have votes everywhere in the country, even some in Alberta + is therefore less likely to do what Danielle Smith did by agreeing to whatever Trump says. Even though he broke his promise less than 3 days later!?! Not encouraging......

  3315.  @bambimalicki7  moi??!?, I sincerely doubt that as I've been given so much and squandered it ALL but I'm not a malicious person at least. I'm trying to find a path that the bare minimum does the least harm possible. Chris hedges is a true inspiration because unlike Chomsky, mierscheimer, Jeffrey Sachs, Glenn Greenwald (*except Briahna Joy Grey of Bad Faith podcast who wears her heart on her sleeve and doesn't give two s** about what is politically expedient or what is going to make her popular or money and even her safety which does actually f**** concern me?!?!) and many others in the Independent sphere of journalism, hide his moral center is at the very core of his journalism and he wears it not just as a badge of honor (and let's be honest, he'd never actually wear any badge of honor as he's far too humble, but I'd gladly put it on him!! ) but as a moral compass directing his raison d'etre which you can feel with every word he says. Chris hedges is one of the few people in this entire world that makes me feel that it's not only possible to change things BUT that unless you are at least trying, you are not only complicit in these ongoing war crimes by the US government & their groupies BUT an active participant (Even the different groups of aggrieved people just in one country, let alone every country throughout the entire world, is too long to list here BUT the fact that he NEVER, EVER "GLOSSES OVER" THESE CRIMES here or anywhere else in his journalism tells you that he has always put the interest of people over his own career. I know that he would never, ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever under any circumstances admit to how MUCH money in the truckloads, that they offered to bring to his house, just to tow the party line. Not even to outright lie?!?!?!? BUT just to stop beating them about the face with the actual truth LOL!! Still, Hedges being Hedges, means that his moral compass always slices directly through their hegemonic worldview that sadly leaves the exposed bodies of all the men, women and children of all these conflicts that pile up in the interest of the military industrial complex, the GOP/DNC's ties to the same and the ever complicit march towards War III that makes everyone feel like there is no other choice regardless as to which party is in the White House. My only claim to fame, or anything that makes me feel slightly better about my personal shittiness is that I have in Chris hedges a person I can support with all of my heart and I know that he has a heart that isn't for sale!!!!! If anyone wants to set it up, I would 100% monthly contribute a fund to a a security team that protects people who actually support real left causes all the way down to the core. The reality is that if we had had that at the beginning for JFK, RFK, mlk, Harvey Milk, and all of our leaders all over the democratically elected leftist world that the American government murdered for the benefit of corporations........ Could you imagine how much forward me would be had we not lost all of our leaders?!?! When we say class War, we need to acknowledge the fact that it's a war and we have to defend our people. Everyone likes to s*** all over AOC for selling out but I guarantee the reason she started crying when they forced her to abstaining for the vote over the Iron dome in Israel was because they showed her the real JFK tape and said we won't kill you but we also won't stop anyone who wants to. This system works. Let's stop supporting it. And let people know who are there to fight for us that we have their backs literally with millions of dollars of security so that they don't have to feel like they're going to die without support. Anything short of that is Lance the slaughter and a recipe for defeat before we put the first foot on the battlefield.

  3321. LOL?!?!?!? Obama's last gigantic middle finger to Biden is spectacular. He might as well have chanted, "Let's go, Brandon!" Thank you Joe, for letting the Donors force you out of the race because you are so decrepit, senile, uninspiring that your 50 years of neoliberal failures like protecting credit card companies over consumers, jailing the most black and brown people of any country ever at any time in the entire history of the world, overseeing a genocide in Gaza that saw the wholesale slaughter of at least 20,000 children in Gaza is truly inspiring. Also, let's not forget his many failures on campaign promises, where he purposely planned that scotus would reject his debt relief for students so he could force young people back to the polls for a third time, his weak capitulation to the parliamentarian on a $15 an hour minimum wage, the fist bump for the Saudi Prince who butchered an American journalist, Biden promised not to drill anymore on federal land and then issued the most permits of any president ever, also let American/Palestinian journalist Shireen abu akleh be obviously assassinated by the IDF with zero consequences, let alone the literal murder by Israel of hundreds of nurses, doctors, journalists and aid workers (EVEN THE WHITE ONES?!?!). Obama took the knife out of Joementia just long enough to remind Biden that he'll never be loved like Obama and that the only reason he won the 2020 election was that Obama and the establishment hated Bernie Sanders even more than they had no respect for genocide Joe Like Obama said, "Let's go Brandon!!!!!" The system works

  3344. There's nothing in that area in Russia that is relevant to Putun. Yes, it's an embarrassment but sacrificing the lives of so many Russian and Ukrainian soldiers just to make Putin feel sad seems not only ill advised but extremely stupid. There's nothing there that would give ukrainians any sort of bargaining chip or it would have already been protected and regardless it'll obviously be stamped out shortly as there's no way to maintain supply lines. To me, it seems like they're just trying to get past the American election and to give the Democrats some wins on TV for people who are too stupid to understand the obvious truth that the ukrainians will never beat a nuclear-armed Russia with a vastly larger and well-armed Army regardless as to how many useless open fields it destroys or Russian villagers it butchers (I get that Russians have probably done the same war crimes but delivering back more of the same only helps Putin deliver the message that the Americans are coming to slaughter regular Russians and he is the only one to save them.) Let's assume that Putin is the new Hitler as the mainstream media suggests. What do you think Hitler would have done on the last day in the bunker, had he had nuclear weapons? Ukraine has a right to fight back, we should help them BUT not to the point where we damn the entire world to nuclear Armageddon. The fact is Russia isn't going away and the only peace deal that lasts is one that disappoints everyone and loses elections. I'm so sick and tired of the mainstream media's drum beat for war. I get that it's good for ratings and helps all the corporations stock prices, but it makes everyone else in the world suffer for no reason other than to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Ukraine is incapable of winning this war and using more American tax payer dollars to prolong the war for both countries young men who actually have to fight it, does nothing except to enrich the military industrial Complex of both countries, who will continue to benefit from the slaughter of all of these young men. Regardless of how many young Ukrainian men die needlessly, Putin will not turn himself over to the Americans because he's found some sense of morality. The fact is that the American political Elite keeps saying that Putin will never, under any circumstances, ever, no matter how much we invade Russia or encourage his political enemies to assassinate him, will ever use nuclear weapons is more or less a triple dog dare to use nuclear weapons?!?!   I get that Americans are fundamentally stupid and have never actually had to pay the price for their ignorance, hubris and or deeply selfish intentions that everyone who's not American expects well eventually you have to be paid but will probably result in the end of civilization.  Regardless, we are rapidly approaching that moment and more importantly, rather than Americans and American voters who support the genocidal lunatics on both sides who love all these  wars  and the donors who encourage them will SADLY not be the only ones who suffer the consequences BUT rather the entire world. The system works.

  3410. 😂Listening to Trudeau makes my skin crawl, however, I've never been a fan of the conservatives either as I remember the Harper government. They gave some upper class tax cuts for soccer mom's, petty cruelty service cuts to the elderly, disabled and veterans (& of course the usual losers but that just makes them break into my stuff more) So I'm curious as to what you think electing a conservative government will do specifically for Us? As far as I know, everyone making less than $100,000 gets a carbon CHQ (I make over the cutoff so I have never seen a check. I'll actually get a tax break), once the cons are elected people won't get that anymore as the cons have said they're going to end many programs and they're going to slash government spending which generally means that you will be paying more for services while also not receiving the carbon chq anymore either? So just in terms of a day-to-day quality of life situation, what do you actually expect will be the difference? I know Pierre said he'd make it possible to buy a home in Vancouver where I live by "stopping the gatekeepers" which sounds cool of course cuz who doesn't want that but it doesn't actually make any sense as it doesn't say how? I mean do you think Pierre is having homeless veterans put into the house next to his place LOL!? I get hating Trudeau is enjoyable cuz he really sucks bad but I just don't see how the conservatives are any different? Pierre Poillevre was in government for almost 10 years and didn't deal with any of this except deregulation of oil and gas industry that allows the pollution of rivers and lakes which is fine I guess but that's less than 10% of the economy?(*Over 70% of major shareholders in Canada's largest oil companies are foreign so most money leaves Canada) Great for his donors I suppose but even when they did it last time housing still went up almost 50% on his and Harper's watch? Anyways, I'm really hoping I'm missing something because this isn't looking good, feels like we're going from the frying pan and into the fire. Please give me ANYTHING TO HOPE FOR, PLEASE!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone & Thanks!

  3477. VP Harris is going to continue to support the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children. The DNC is a vote to offshore jobs with "free trade", endless wars and genocide. HOWEVER, the parents of those murdered children can take solace in the fact that our first black woman President PAID to have those kids executed! Or? Stop supporting the duopoly that has sold out the American working class to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Vote for ANY 3rd party, just to let the DNC know that you don't support tax breaks for billionaires or the slaughter of innocent children, it's the only way they will stop doing both. Sadly, the American people tried to elect Bernie Sanders, TWICE. Now, for a third time the elites have not allowed the American people to choose their leader but instead imposed someone who supports unnecessary corporate inflation, the Military Industry Complex rather than helping Americans and crucially, the ongoing genocide in Gaza (every bomb dropped on a child, is literally a library full of books, that are missing in America.) Vote 3rd party if you don't want to be complicit in the execution of those children or the further erosion of democracy? Sadly, if Trump wins he'll do the same thing & in similar numbers as both parties support Netanyahu's genocidal campaign BUT because Trump is hated, people will actually scrutinize everything that he does worldwide to fight back. However, IF Kamala is elected they can go back to brunch because those children will be rip to shreds by the first black woman president in America........ Ugh.

  3537. If America & Russia agreed to drop a strategic Nuke in Ukraine to create a 9/11 event that polarized the electorate giving Trump a 3rd term to "save us" and destroy the social safety net, civil rights, unconstrained power to the military industrial complex & all the powers of a government during a "TOTAL WAR SCENAREven better, regardless of a recession, any massive federal government failures in every possible way, none of it would be relevant as anything short of total commitment to total WAR or "patriotism" which means slavish devotion to the current administration as you would obviously need to suspend elections immediately to ensure that everything was "safe," as this clearly would cause mass protests that is not only un-American BUT more importantly, anti-Trump. Which is not only treason & punishable by death during war BUT actually a crime against God, as Trump is our imperfect vessel against the Left's commie commitment to Satan.  This would solve so many problems in terms of being able to pass laws where anything short of celebrating King Donald, would be considered treason & or blasphemy as those people would be jailed without trial as Satanic heretics are not entitled to a jury of their peers........ The system works........ I mean, obviously the Nazis set up a false flag for the Reichstag & or the Gleiwitz Polish incident to completely consolidate power during a moment of weakness of government. Luckily the Trump's administration of Republicans too loyal to the Constitution to consider anything improper. Musk & his supporters are also not capable of lying for political gain or consolidating power for a fascist takeover by weakening the administrative State as that would as a great American intellectual once said, "SAD."  We just need to let go of the rope & let the tide take us out to sea and assume that the richest people on Earth, who were previously being charged or already convicted of multiple crimes against Democracy, ultimately have our best interest at heart!!!!  HOWEVER, if somehow they couldn't be trusted, at least there's the AWESOME oratory power of Joaquin Jefferies or Chuck Schumer's strong inspirational leadership that would NEVER allow the DNC to fall in line for The Weimar Republic 2.0, In an act of profound cowardice just to protect their own wealth and privilege?!?!? Nope! Clearly our leaders are the selfless people we 'd always suspected and we can all go back to sleep....... The system works.

  3549. (This argument has to be adressed head-on, immediately!!!) 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........ 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.

  3661. I wrote this to Pod Save America. Exactly! Why don't people understand that Ukraine placing NATO nukes on Russia's border on behalf of America is about peace?!?! PSA are actually smart people and I can tell they know better. The reality is that the neocons run the DNC now as the Cheney's wouldn't be coming along if that wasn't the case. It's hard to believe that the party of JFK who was shot in the head by the security establishment for not supporting a hawkish worldview by the CIA is now about encircling Russia and everyone who actually understands Neocons policy appreciates the very REAL NEOCON plan to destroy Russia who sacrificed almost 30 million Russians in WW2?!?! ALSO, that America's security state's plan (CIA) is to balkanize the Russian land into smaller, less powerful individual states to extract their resources as a way for American companies to become even more insanely wealthy JUST LIKE THEY HAVE DONE FOR SEVEN DECADES to ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD!?! THIS OBVIOUS FACT, is such a disservice not only to the American people, but also the entire planet as this insane greed will eventually cost us ALL, everything. PSA are 100% smart enough to understand that they probably don't want to spend the last 30 years of their f**** lives trapped in a bunker with Chelsea Clinton, Trump's kids and whatever hellish version of Dr. Strange Love plans they have made for them?!? Can't the billionaires just live with being multi billionaire rather than trillionaires?!?! Sadly, PSA represents the professional managerial class (PMC) and until they are no longer willing to sacrifice the working class for a slightly better apartment in service of the billionaire class and the promise that they can eventually move into the rentier class, we will move forever up the escalation ladder of class war to self destruction. You people need to remember that Musk has zero intention of bringing you to Mars with him as his plan is to leave you with gigantic bags of useless cash as he flies to some fantasy, while you look around at the rest of us and realize that you are trapped here WITH US and we are not happy. Don't help the working class because it's the right thing to do, do it because the billionaires are planning to throw you under the bus after they've destroyed everything and if we know you helped them do it......... The system works.

  3693. I don't give two s** about dogs and cats that are or are not being eaten in Ohio. However, I am concerned that there's a bipartisan agreement that Israel can assassinate an Americans citizen in broad daylight for protesting in the West Bank, especially given the fact that she clearly looked white?!?! I mean, obviously now it's clear that she could be needlessly slaughtered in the street with a name like Aysenur Ezgi Eygi BUT the fact is she didn't look poor, brown and Muslim so it was still possible that she had human rights and couldn't just be executed for the obvious reason. No, the IDF KNEW she was western and calculated that they'd already needlessly butchered an entire World Kitchen AID vehicle not once BUT thrice, carefully hunting down and murdering everyone who was in 3 consecutive vehicles, knowing that they were white people from Western countries, actual white people. People who actually mattered for f*** sake?!?! So obviously the IDF understood that slaying a white person who was protesting against the the Israelis illegal seizure of Palestinian land in the West Bank was perfectly reasonable as they'd done it before with zero consequences and more importantly it sent an important message to Americans, that their citizenship was absolutely meaningless in the face of the IDF's insatiable bloodlust for anyone, even white people, for defending basic human rights and most of ALL, that the DNC doesn't give two s** about human rights just so long as that donor money flows towards them and not against them. The system works!

  3696. Frum arguably contributed to the worst administration in American history, the blowback to these failures eventually led to Trump as their lies on the Iraq war contributed directly to the loss of around $10 trillion over the last 25 years & literally hundreds of thousands of lives?!? Had these Bush W charlatans not been allowed to use a GOP controlled SCOTUS in 2000 to literally steal an election, then "relatively" competent people would have stopped the 9/11 attacks, therefore all that money wouldn't have been wasted or veterans lives or limbs lost. Then there wouldn't have been any 2008 crash but even if there had been, the American treasury would have been able to bail out not just the banks but also enough to help Americans to keep their homes which wouldn't have undermined the entire middle class for Generations?!?! Then there wouldn't have been 20 years of wage stagnation that culminated in so much outrage towards the Establishment that the American people wouldn't have elected a deranged game show host to send a gigantic middle finger to the people who 've ruined their lives and their children live's for generations. Also, The Bush doctrine of expanding NATO to the Russian border, forcing Putin to react, seeing as the last two invading forces of Napoleon and Hitler used the exact same route. The people who keep saying that putting nuclear weapons on the border where 70 years ago the Russian people lost almost 30 million people In literally the bloodiest war in human history, isn't a "big deal" isn't just utterly ridiculous, It's actually insulting to their country that played a decisive role in defeating the Nazis in WW2?!?  Now, as a result of Frum's & associates ideological insanity against Russia, Americans haven't invested in 20 years of infrastructure, education for its youth or the ability to pay down debt and or invest in its own future BUT instead made a small group of Frum's Friends in the military industrial complex, even more wealthy at the expense of weakening Americans defense capabilities against its adversaries at every turn, especially China?!?  Could you imagine had America spent $10 trillion on advancing their capacity to educate and innovate over the last 20 years, instead of sending our young men and women to die needlessly in a desert to protect the Bush family business of Texas oil with their friends the Saudis?!?! Like Katrina, all of the different disasters and or hurricanes, all that trillions of dollars to rebuild America better so that everyone has jobs?!?! Nope, sorry our friends need that money to get their third home in Israel?!?!  Frum should be ashamed of his contribution to his clear contribution to the people's (Cheney's?!?) dedication to profiting off hundreds of thousands of innocent dead Iraqis, thousands of dead American soldiers (not to mention many who killed themselves when they came home short a "couple limbs" & with diseases from burn pits, that returned them from fighting Bush's Illegal Wars against two countries that weren't even the ones who did 9/11?!?!? Seriously, how this has been memory holed, could arguably be one of the greatest crimes of our Generationsy history?!?!?! Unfortunately, Saudi Arabia were bi-partisan bestestest friends forever with the Bush's & Clinton's?!?!! Both parties continue to be crucial recipients of Saudi money as well as diplomatic support to and from, Prince MBS. Still, the massive loss of treasury, which sacrificed investment in America's future in terms of educating the next generation of STEM graduates who are literally the future of anything that will make a country competitive? ( & Why China Is eating America's lunch). We're completely thrown under the bus, as that money was instead given to military contractors that built f-35s that were completely incapable of doing anything they were hired for, to the tune of trillions of dollars. That's just one example of many, many, many others where in fact, they're incapable of accounting for the many trillions of losses that have been purposely misappropriated so that Mr Frum's associates can continue to steal America's future & or any options to actually protect it in a meaningful way.  Frum, I can only hope that your complicity in the many crimes against humanity will be documented so that even if you escape justice now, your legacy will be forever tarnished & your family ashamed of the family name. (" Wait, you're a Frum!?! That guy who helped America slaughter all of those people in Afghanistan and Iraq for no reason other than the president had daddy issues and wanted to exploit the middle East for America's purposes & resources? Wow! How shameful!.......) Trump clearly is terrible, but what Bush's people have done is so vastly worse & are directly responsible for the conditions that were absolutely responsible for Trump's Presidency. So much so, that it shocks me to the core when I hear you spew anything about democracy or lying BUT most importantly, the fact that YOU are now more aligned with the DNC's complicity with the military industrial complex while pretending to serve north america, instead of yourself obviously, over the literal thousands of dead bodies who were inconvenient in your pursuit to extract as much money as was humanly possible for any consideration for anyone other than yourself and every nickel you could extrac with total impunity & total disregard for the people's lives you cost or the horrific trail of dead you left in your path. I'd super appreciate you let me know your justification, as I'd like to be able to send it to the people's families you helped Slaughter? Or the people who are mimicking your game plan of Lying their way into murder for profit, to the tunes of billions, if not trillions?!? As I'm sure you're probably a multi -millionaire now and many other similar Republicans & Democrats are looking at what you've accomplished without any conscience!?!   Therefore, they've obviously thought about how many tens of thousands of dead brown women and children would it take for them to accomplish the same thing and If there's any possibility to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity that you've managed to profit off from without repercussions?!? The system works.

  3705. The DNC loves Trump as a way to punish the working class for asking for anything whatsoever that would affect their billionaire donors.  40 years of Neoliberalism has left everyone so desperate that DNC tinkering around the edges, is meaningless. Eventually, after 40 years of failed promises from the DNC to the working class, they're seeing if a strong man is able to deliver at the expense of the most vulnerable in our society, which is the promise of ALL fascists. Trump won't deliver obviously, BUT more importantly his failure will drive the working class back to Corporate Democrats who will offer a kinder version of the same Billionaire friendly agenda with the threat of more authoritarian GOP policies if they dare question their corporate Masters. The sad reality is that the DNC doesn't care if Trump gets elected 3 more times, what they're really concerned about is if Bernie Sanders was to give Americans universal health Care that would cost the insurance industry trillions, if Bernie Sanders would actually educate Americans, which would cost the universities trillions if Bernie was to transition to a green economy which would cost the oil Barons trillions, If Bernie was to stop endless Wars + scale back the military industrial Complex which would cost the War Pigs more than tens of trillions of dollars.  Obviously, they'd have Bernie's ass MLK'd long before he got anywhere near doing any of that But it's easier to put in a charlatan like Trump as a grim reminder that the American people only have two choices, a clown Rodeo show fascist that would take away every right the moment he thinks he can do it OR a corporate kleptocracy of Liberal oligarchs who will gamble everyone's human rights and WW3 for their ability to exploit every one in the working class to their advantage and to destroy the entire world environment so that they can go from super wealthy to insanely depraved wealthy. The system works.

  3739. 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 (greens) 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.

  3779. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  3807.  @MicahMicahel  hmmmmm, well you may not consider the execution of 3 of Israel's own citizens (soldiers no less) who escaped Hamas, that stripped naked, so that it was 100% positive they didn't have explosives & or guns on them and that they weren't "Brown". They were clearly identified as white citizens who's lives "almost" mattered BUT nope....... Hannibal directive. The 3 Israeli hostages (soldiers) patiently waited until they had identified an IDF Battalion who they'd clearly identified in what could only be imagined as the most harrowing moments in a person's life, standing in your underwear, waving a white flag and hoping for the love of Jehovah, your fellow soldiers may show you the mercy they hadn't in slaughtering every man, woman and child in Palestine as they were AT LEAST WHITE?!!? Nope, the Hannibal directive meant execution for captured soldiers BUT as Trump said, he likes the soldiers that didn't get captured! ! Obviously Trump, never having served because of his "bone spurs" twice, Deferred his service to his country twice so never had to put his own theories to the test as other Americans did who fought and died for their country. You know, suckers and losers......... Regardless, the 3 Israeli hostages as soldiers knew to take time almost naked in an escaped hostage situation to ensure that they had time to identify themselves, not only naked and therefore not a threat without weapons, clearly screaming in Hebrew no less, w/white flags so that they understood they were not a threat as obviously of all, they were white European Israelis?!?!?! Unfortunately, the Hannibal directive was used, dead men tell no tales.

  3811. VP Harris is going to continue to support the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children. The DNC is a vote to offshore jobs with "free trade", endless wars and genocide. HOWEVER, the parents of those murdered children can take solace in the fact that our first black woman President PAID to have those kids executed! Or? Stop supporting the duopoly that has sold out the American working class to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Vote for ANY 3rd party, just to let the DNC know that you don't support tax breaks for billionaires or the slaughter of innocent children, it's the only way they will stop doing both. Sadly, the American people tried to elect Bernie Sanders, TWICE. Now, for a third time the elites have not allowed the American people to choose their leader but instead imposed someone who supports unnecessary corporate inflation, the Military Industry Complex rather than helping Americans and crucially, the ongoing genocide in Gaza (every bomb dropped on a child, is literally a library full of books, that are missing in America.) Vote 3rd party if you don't want to be complicit in the execution of those children or the further erosion of democracy? Sadly, if Trump wins he'll do the same thing & in similar numbers as both parties support Netanyahu's genocidal campaign BUT because Trump is hated, people will actually scrutinize everything that he does worldwide to fight back. However, IF Kamala is elected they can go back to brunch because those children will be rip to shreds by the first black woman president in America........ Ugh.

  3846. Let's always remember people like Medhi were more than comfortable to ingratiate himself with corporate media by throwing people who were actually brave enough to stand up against the Israeli propaganda way under the bus, people like Jeremy Corbyn. That's why he still supports the Democratic party despite its overwhelming support of genocide, or his overwhelming support of the Labour party in Britain who also supports the genocide in Gaza. Medhi supports both of those governments whole heartedly. He does that because he wants to be on the side of money and influence in the establishment. He's a sellout and is exactly as Norm Finkelstein describes him......... MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concernedyourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............ Clearly, Medhi is a great attack dog and I'm glad that he is setting his sights on the people who are perpetrating these atrocities, however, The reality is that anyone who can so casually blow in the direction of the corporate wind, can't genuinely be trusted and is ultimately dangerous as they can never, ever, under any circumstances to be trusted not to do it again once defending the truth becomes inconvenient or expensive.  Until I see Medhi actually sacrifice anything to help anyone other than himself, I will never trust him again.

  3847. VOTE 3RD PARTY!!!! The reality is that the duopoly is going to win regardless BUT if a massive voter turnout for 3rd parties occurs it could possibly get 5% for official federal government support and more importantly start to break the back of corporate domination of both parties. Besides, 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.

  3870. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploitation of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  3969. Yes but smearing Jill Stein is the total purpose of the segment. Here's my argument below. I'm curious as to what you think? Thanks  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........   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........ 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 that unfortunately genocide is the WORST and that 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 even if it's a little bit slower. The DNC MUST LOSE and it needs to be demonstratively because of Gaza. They also need to know that they will lose next time because of Gaza, then they need to understand that they will be in the political wilderness forever because the actual left will not be complicit in the murder of innocent men, women and children. Anything short of that is a recipe for the continued slaughter of people all over the world based on the idea of the "lesser of two evils."    The system works. Let's stop supporting it.

  3981. 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).

  4105. Vote 3rd party 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, 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 (Panther Party is for lack of a better term that has historical context for a parallel political government). The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, trade agreements that are worker centric, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources of the PP 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 PP (Panther Party)for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors (by direct means or omission) we will use our resources to make their 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, the inevitable climate wars are coming. Unless we start organizing now and use our time, $ and souls in pursuit of an organization that is going to support us when the System collapses we will find ourselves without the ability to survive to fight back. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Panther Party

  4237. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate. I mean, after they tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder children & drag America into a middle East regional war for the fifth time!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donors that finally turned on Biden to anoint her candidacy, she will have to pick Shapiro who's absolutely perfect. He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports a complete and total genocide in Gaza, but more importantly shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of this mass slaughter of Palestinian children!!! But that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensure that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's commitment to Wall Street by making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! The system works.

  4248. PLEASE TELL ME I'M CRAZY!?!?! I think that Palestine is a testing ground for a fascist takeover by the new world order. It's not as crazy as you may think, first they film a genocide for over a half year. Then they specifically murder white aid workers from the G7 countries to see how that is recieved by the broader public. Now Israel brazenly attacks a Syrian consulate to force a counter strike from Iran. This provides the pretext to draw the Western establishment into a broader war against the middle East while giving them cover in an increasingly unpopular conflict with the public. If the powers that be know that the public will only offer tepid resistance they will continue to escalate this to full blown fascism there to protect "freedom". Once the middle East is under control the war machine will move on to the next "axis of evil" The purpose of which is to deny China, Russia and any other groups (BRICS) that challenge US hegemony of resources and potential allies. Eventually, like all fascist movements it will turn inward when there are no "enemies" left, only the enemy within. Other governments around the world will have a choice, their establishment can consolidate power and wealth with the new tools that the West's AI will allow them or they will turn that power against them with overwhelming force. With the understanding that we are within 10 years of total climate collapse that will massively diminish access to food, resources, fresh water, etc, there is no other way for the ruling class to continue to extract the maximum amount of wealth from the rest of us unless they implement fascism as even staged "democracy" will become impractical. Much like a virus, the establishment will risk killing all of us in order to maintain and expand their wealth. Let's assume that the DNC isn't accidentally getting us into broader conflicts, losing on purpose to Trump who will have no issue with a much more expanded war, while clamping down on domestic resistance and continuing to provoke conflicts throughout the world. What if it's the plan? Or put another way......... The system works.

  4250. Let's always remember people like Medhi were more than comfortable to ingratiate himself with corporate media by throwing people who were actually brave enough to stand up against the Israeli propaganda way under the bus, people like Jeremy Corbyn. That's why he still supports the Democratic party despite its overwhelming support of genocide, or his overwhelming support of the Labour party in Britain who also supports the genocide in Gaza. Medhi supports both of those governments whole heartedly. He does that because he wants to be on the side of money and influence in the establishment. He's a sellout and is exactly as Norm Finkelstein describes him......... MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concernedyourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............ Clearly, Medhi is a great attack dog and I'm glad that he is setting his sights on the people who are perpetrating these atrocities, however, The reality is that anyone who can so casually blow in the direction of the corporate wind, can't genuinely be trusted and is ultimately dangerous as they can never, ever, under any circumstances to be trusted not to do it again once defending the truth becomes inconvenient or expensive.  Until I see Medhi actually sacrifice anything to help anyone other than himself, I will never trust him again.

  4296. Actually, they love Bernie. He convinces people that voting makes a difference. F$#@ you Bernie and your "vote blue no matter who" bs, you already f*** us out of the alternative democracy that everyone donated to and supported you with their last nickels. As soon as you sold out to Biden for nothing, not a single f'ing concession, nothing. Don't get me wrong, I know the power's that be said if you actually exercise your power they would kill you, your family or something worse. At that point you could have said that you were retiring from politics because that you could not be effective and that you were threatened (you would at least have been honest and people would have understood that you couldn't sacrifice your family for the greater good ) BUT you didn't do that, you told us to vote for Biden knowing full well he was lying about all the things he was telling progressive voters while on the campaign trail and now you're doing the same. Still, that was the trade-off when you challenged power in the first place and inspired people with what they thought was the truth. You sacrificed the left and all of its momentum for the foreseeable future for your and your family's safety. You got your million dollar book deal, you're still relatively popular, your kids will be fine unlike the Palestinian babies dying of starvation. However, I'm quite sick of multi-millionaire democrats telling us that we have to support genocide Joe, so that we can save ourselves at the sacrifice of the Palestinians and everything else that matters is complete and total utter f**** b******. I reiterate, f** you. What the upper class wants is that we save them from Trump and his dirty working class hordes of people who know that the DNC sold them out to China and anyone else for a pennies. Had you come out recently and said that you will not support Biden unless he demands that Israel stops the genocide NOW or the Biden administration will 100% cut them off of ALL aid going forward. Also, that all weapons aid stops NOW f**** regardless of whether there's a ceasefire or not and that it will not return until an honest two-state solution is put forward by Israel. Anything short of that is tacit support for goddamn ethnic cleansing and the fact that you can sleep at night in your million dollar home while the people of Gaza and their children are murdered and starved to death by the person you are telling us is, "a good man" is rigodamndiculous. It's really hard to believe you have the f**** nerve to defend genocide Joe and the DNC after everything we've seen. I don't know what they have on you Bernie, but you sold your soul and the hope of an entire generation who came out for you. You will be remembered for that, your kids will live with it, we will all live with your complicity in genocide.* Except all the Palestinians who die as a result of your cowardess . Trump will win and you will be complicit because you supported the neoliberal policies of Biden that got Trump elected. You did this for nothing and without getting a goddamn thing in return for all the heart, effort, sacrifice of the people who supported you with money and time that they did not have to give. You lied to them and worst of all you gave them hope. Like I said, f*** you. The system works.

  4310. LOL?!?!?!? Obama's last gigantic middle finger to Biden is spectacular. He might as well have chanted, "Let's go, Brandon!" Thank you Joe, for letting the Donors force you out of the race because you are so decrepit, senile, uninspiring that your 50 years of neoliberal failures like protecting credit card companies over consumers, jailing the most black and brown people of any country ever at any time in the entire history of the world, overseeing a genocide in Gaza that saw the wholesale slaughter of at least 20,000 children in Gaza is truly inspiring. Also, let's not forget his many failures on campaign promises, where he purposely planned that scotus would reject his debt relief for students so he could force young people back to the polls for a third time, his weak capitulation to the parliamentarian on a $15 an hour minimum wage, the fist bump for the Saudi Prince who butchered an American journalist, Biden promised not to drill anymore on federal land and then issued the most permits of any president ever, also let American/Palestinian journalist Shireen abu akleh be obviously assassinated by the IDF with zero consequences, let alone the literal murder by Israel of hundreds of nurses, doctors, journalists and aid workers (EVEN THE WHITE ONES?!?!). Obama took the knife out of Joementia just long enough to remind Biden that he'll never be loved like Obama and that the only reason he won the 2020 election was that Obama and the establishment hated Bernie Sanders even more than they had no respect for genocide Joe Like Obama said, "Let's go Brandon!!!!!"

  4314. PIERRE'S HOLLOW TALKING POINTS federally I think Mad Max is actually what Polllievere talks about but doesn't vote for. As for policies I don't think "stop the gatekeepers" is a policy as I'm sure he's not going to allow mixed social housing to be built next to his house or any of his wealthy donors either. Same with firing bank of Canada, sounds good but the corporations that back him won't accept anything that hurts their bottom line. He'll cut taxes, probably save the middle class about $800-$1000 in taxes but will cut carbon tax rebates so more like a $500 savings while giving corporations millions in tax breaks. Now when you cut revenue it drives up the deficit and destroying the CBC won't save billions in lost tax revenue so he'll have to go after government services and add "service fees" for other government services (exactly what Harper did and PP voted for). As for the Oil industry, he can't force multinational corporations to use Canadian oil as that amounts to nationalization and that's commie talk. But let's pretend that he did, Saudi oil is almost 5 times cheaper to produce a barrel of sweet crude than Canadian oil not to mention we don't have refining capacity so imagine how paying quadruple the price of "Canadian gas" would go over. Pretending he's going to build a pipeline to the east coast (that the multinational companies said wasn't financially viable) may sound good but won't actually happen either. The only thing he's said that appeals to me is how he's going to force the medical profession to accredit immigrants BUT that industry is incredibly powerful and is unlikely to give away their monopoly not to mention most Albertans won't want to see a Bangladeshi Dr. His platform is buzz words and slogans without numbers or anything that is measurable because he knows that people would actually crunch those numbers and tear him to shreds. It's easier to make promises to the base, reassure the wealthy that nothing will change and ride a wave of dissatisfaction with the Liberals to office. Sounds familiar, that's what Trudeau did with Harper.

  4409. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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). 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 P.S. Marianne has even less of a chance than Dr. West, Bernie knows that better than anyone and so should you Kyle.

  4410. Trump is the unfortunate blowback of 40 years Neoliberal DNC 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 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. 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. Then. I guess at some point they'll try the strong man and hope that maybe he delivers. He won't, of course, but that's the consequence we all have to suffer for the greed hubris of the Democratic party.. The system works

  4441. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after they beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to CIA under Dulles who led the mission) colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporations interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & will sacrifice everyone to their Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger NJ

  4451. MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called out Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence whatsoever, just to ingratiate himself with the media establishment. Clearly, Medhi understands that finally the tides have shifted in favor of actually telling the truth on the Palestinians struggle. However, it obviously wasn't profitable to say the same thing when Corbyn was saying basically the same truth while calling out the ultra wealthy for not paying taxes and actually being supportive of the working class. Medhi 100% sold out the progressives and the REAL Left in Britain to make money off the corporate media's complete and total anti-Semitic smear campaign against Jeremy Corbyn that had nothing to do with anything resembling the truth. I'm glad Medhi is using his extremely aggressive tactics of debate against the obvious lies of the IDF, The Israeli government, The security establishment and American security State along with the corporate media's lies........ BUT I find his weak support of the truth when it's inconvenient,😮 extremely disconcerting to say the least! If you look at the fact that Norm Finkelstein'd career was totally destroyed by Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer & scumbag ultra powerful lawyer Alan Dershowitz who'$ defended a lot of People who are having sex with minors and or murdering their significant others says a lot about the kind of people who represent politicians. The deep state and its handlers actually care about nothingsowhat they pretend to, which speaks volumes about who REALLY REPRESENT. Norm is an extremely honorable intellectual, which is rare to say the least in this time. However, Medhi clearly wanted to sell out Jeremy Corbyn because it was politically convenient to do so as every one was piling on and fearing him as an Anti- semite despite the fact that there was no evidence whatsoever, none, none whatsoever at all. However, that destroying Corbin was politically convenient, which means that betty has no actual virtue that can be relied upon. That isn't to say somebody isn't capable Redemption, but I will never believe Maddie has done that until he has actually sacrificed anything whatsoever and isn't just another corporate w** putting up his wet fingers to see which way the wind is blowing. If he really was someone who was more concerned about the truth than his own political career, he wouldn't have thrown Jeremy Corbin under the bus. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was a Liberal shill. He soft pedals the vote blue no matter who narrative that enables the Democrat party to use the Republicans to get away with war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's family (The 1st one, not the second one when he realized that he was going to be Right of wsj, New York Times, haretz, and the liberal media establishment ) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange to push the security apparatus agenda. He is only on the right side of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the establishment's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for.

  4465. The South America Columbian President's quote at the U.N. about "Palestine, being the past, present and future of South America," is correct and as I've been saying for some time, Palestinians are the canary in the fascism coal mine. Once we normalize genocide in Gaza & the climate catastrophe unfolds into a pretext for fascism to address the obvious issues that are inevitable as a result of climate catastrophe. The genocidal war machine, once completing the example of the benefits of genocides while also serving proof that it can be done, will be exported to the next inconvenient people sitting atop the resources & or land as the Establishment MUST consume developing nations raw resources without adding anything to their economic development as the lifeblood of neoliberalism is using those raw resources for added value profit BUT more importantly, denying those nations people the ability to not only profit from value added products rather than resource extraction that only enriches the elite if that country BUT more importantly excludes the type of Professional managerial class (PMC). That type of economic development would increase this class of people who would be the ones that could not only help further develop the economy & help train other generations of people who could further develop the nation's economy and resources. Worst of all, it is this intellectual class issue of the PMC that would be able to organize and fight back against the absolute obvious, exploitation of their Nation. Most importantly, the West has learned that they have to always exclude the PMC of any developing nations from any process, as they understand the mechanisms of exploitation which makes them extremely dangerous as they can articulate it to the masses. Eventually, genocide WILL be exported everywhere, until it MUST be brought home as citizens will eventually understand that they will receive NOTHING from the constant murder of civilian communities and then even racism won't be enough

  4479. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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, continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza. 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. Sadly the same with Gaza). Also, let's say we drag Biden across the line and now he doesn't have to face re-election do people 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 sweep 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.

  4486. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after they beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to CIA under Dulles who led the mission) colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporations interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & will sacrifice everyone to their Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger

  4521. Trump is the unfortunate blowback of 40 years Neoliberal DNC 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 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.

  4529. The Russian part of Ukraine is lost, along with Crimea, as Zielinski unfortunately believed Boris Johnson which is semi-laughable. But what is downright goddamn hysterical is believing that Americans would have "their backs." LOL. America has screwed every single partner, it's ever had other than Britain. Starting with the Americans immediately started to try to screw Russia after WW2, Despite the fact that the Russians are who actually won world War II through the loss of 27 million people that nobody ever talks about and pretends isn't also a factor when discussing the fact that Hitler used Ukraine as a staging ground for his invasion of Russia, or the fact that is exactly how Napoleon attacked Russia as well, therefore the reason he said NATO there was a redline. It didn't help that Americans backed the coup against the democratically elected leader of Ukraine who supported the Russian trade agreement instead of the European one. So The americans had him replaced By zielinski, also there's a number of well-documented policy papers from the American military establishment that clearly states the intent with Russia is to balkanize it and once it's in pieces to rob resources and leave its people with nothing like it has done with every single country that's allowed that to happen. Only Americans are stupid enough to believe that "democracy" has anything to do with the motivations of the American establishment. Even the most ignorant of peasants anywhere else in the world understands that America's plan is to kill their leaders, set up a puppet leader, extract their resources while enslaving their population and ensuring that actual democracy never arrives as it would threaten the resource extraction by American corporations LIKE IT HAS DONE WITH EVERY OTHER COUNTRY EVER!!!!!!! Pod Save our Status unlike the overwhelming majority of ignorant Americans understands everything I've just said and somehow tries to justify it on a daily basis. They don't seem like evil people but I guess that's how the statement the banality of evil works because no one actually thinks it's them, I WOULD PAY $1,000 TO LISTEN TO THEM JUSTIFY THIS S*** TO THEMSELVES OR EACH OTHER LOL!!. However, the DNC is continuing to help murder children in Palestine on a daily basis while backing Netanyahu's plan to start a war with Iran, which American taxpayers will have to pay for and the rest of the world will have to suffer the worst inflation in living memory if not ever, as a result of the region going up in flames. Still, these people just don't give a s*** so long as they maintain their status along side the people with more blood on their hands than anyone else of this generation. How the f*** do you people sleep at night? The system works.

  4533. Trust your instincts ALWAYS, make a specific list of your concerns, research issues that are particular to that make, model & year, use this to ensure that this comprises your inspection list that MUST be documented (ask for "before and after pictures" of each item on that list to be documented specifically. Also, don't tell them this but make sure that you've also taken a photograph close up of all of the hardware that is at least semi easily visible, prior to bringing it to your mechanic for inspection. That way you can actually see by the marks on the hardware whether it's been recently removed. Unfortunately, cars are the largest scam markets ever and you need to as a person who isn't an expert, to just look for the bare minimum observational s*** that will tell you if they're lying to you. If your mechanic says that all of this stuff has been done but you don't see any marks on any of the bolts and they refuse to do any of the pictures of before and after even when offer to pay for this service, even though it's been opened to document it. It means they're either lying or they don't want your business because your irritating or simply don't care. Either one says it's not worth it. * When I asked my mechanic to document the opened version of the documentation I tell them to charge me another hour on the bill as I appreciate their time. If you're not willing to pay an extra $110 or whatever it is to clearly decide whether you're willing to invest another five figures then you get what you get.) I sadly wasted $10000 a few years ago on a 2008 ford ranger 2wdr at 90km that I had to totally replace the transmission for $3k

  4549. Vote 3rd party 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, 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 (Panther Party is for lack of a better term that has historical context for a parallel political government). The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, trade agreements that are worker centric, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources of the PP 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 PP (Panther Party)for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors (by direct means or omission) we will use our resources to make their 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, the inevitable climate wars are coming. Unless we start organizing now and use our time, $ and souls in pursuit of an organization that is going to support us when the System collapses we will find ourselves without the ability to survive to fight back. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Panther Party

  4572. 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........ 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 a genocide. 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.

  4583. VOTE 3RD PARTY!!!! The reality is that the duopoly is going to win regardless BUT if a massive voter turnout for 3rd parties occurs it could possibly get 5% for official federal government support and more importantly start to break the back of corporate domination of both parties. Besides, 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). 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. Dr Cornell West for President (or any 3rd party, just so long as you're not supporting the duopoly). By

  4603. PIERRE'S HOLLOW TALKING POINTS federally I think Mad Max is actually what Polllievere talks about but doesn't vote for. As for policies I don't think "stop the gatekeepers" is a policy as I'm sure he's not going to allow mixed social housing to be built next to his house or any of his wealthy donors either. Same with firing bank of Canada, sounds good but the corporations that back him won't accept anything that hurts their bottom line. He'll cut taxes, probably save the middle class about $800-$1000 in taxes but will cut carbon tax rebates so more like a $500 savings while giving corporations millions in tax breaks. Now when you cut revenue it drives up the deficit and destroying the CBC won't save billions in lost tax revenue so he'll have to go after government services and add "service fees" for other government services (exactly what Harper did and PP voted for). As for the Oil industry, he can't force multinational corporations to use Canadian oil as that amounts to nationalization and that's commie talk. But let's pretend that he did, Saudi oil is almost 5 times cheaper to produce a barrel of sweet crude than Canadian oil not to mention we don't have refining capacity so imagine how paying quadruple the price of "Canadian gas" would go over. Pretending he's going to build a pipeline to the east coast (that the multinational companies said wasn't financially viable) may sound good but won't actually happen either. The only thing he's said that appeals to me is how he's going to force the medical profession to accredit immigrants BUT that industry is incredibly powerful and is unlikely to give away their monopoly not to mention most Albertans won't want to see a Bangladeshi Dr. His platform is buzz words and slogans without numbers or anything that is measurable because he knows that people would actually crunch those numbers and tear him to shreds. It's easier to make promises to the base, reassure the wealthy that nothing will change and ride a wave of dissatisfaction with the Liberals to office. Sounds familiar, that's what Trudeau did with Harper.

  4605. Lol! "Trump is in it for himself." Unlike Obama who promised "HOPE & CHANGE" but delivered evictions for working people while delivering trillion$ to the people who tanked the economy in 2008!?!? Now Obama is hang gliding with billionaires. Or genocide Joe taking more money from the Israeli lobby, military industrial complex and the oil and gas industry than any other president?!? I have to ask PSA, what do you people think will happen in 2028 after 4 more years of Joe Biden's neoliberal policies, genocide and broken promises to the Left as well as the middle class that deliver more of the same's race to the bottom? You must understand as political analysts that the GOP will sweep all three branches of government. When that happens, the thing you've been threatening, that a game show host taking over fascist control of the government will be in the hands of a competent fascist GOP rather than a game show host?!? I get that you guys think that if Trump wins you're all still going to be rich, go to the cool guys party and you'll be able to use the GOPs authoritainism to drive normies back to corporate Democrats BUT what if the b***** you've been selling about fascism is true?!?! I don't think Trump is capable of it because nobody trusts him, especially the people around him. In 2028 when the GOP sweeps all 3 branches of government and there is some sort of major cataclysmic event, what is to stop a competent Republican from seizing complete and total control? The people that let the Nazis do what they wanted to in the Weimar Republic thought they could keep their status and money if they just let the Nazis do terrible things to everyone else BUT eventually they came for the establishment as well. I don't think you need to do anything for the working class because its right thing to do. However, I do believe you should be worried about yourselves because without the working class to protect you when the brown shirts coming marching into your town...... The system works, stop supporting it.

  4609. Israel not only has the right to defend itself, but it also has the right to assassinate the Hamas moderate trying to broker a hostage deal for Israelis AND AMERICANS?!?!?!?!. Conveniently by murdering him the deal is dead. Obviously this suits Netanyahu as it makes sure that The hostages don't come back and say that their ordeal was horrific, but that they were treated decently considering the conditions and that they saw their fellow friends and or hostages killed by Israeli bombs. That's bad television, especially considering the fact that there is now a multitude of credible accusations of torture, abuse, multiple sexual assaults, gang rape, summary executions and on and on and on by the IDF. Lastly, it also suits Netanyahu to destroy the peace talks so that he never has to face the Israeli public and the Democratic consequences for being incompetent leading to October 7th, attacks, propping up Hamas in the first place to divide the Palestinian people so that there is no two-state solution by giving money to religious terrorists, also having the IDF in the wrong place during the October 7th attack because they were busy in the West Bank ensuring that murderous settlers could kill indiscriminately while The Palestinian children watched. Netanyahu had been given multiple warnings from either Egypt and even their own security apparatus about the planned terrorist attacks. However, by murdering the hamas hostage negotiator, he ensures that the hostages never come home and the war doesn't end so he that he never has to deal with his corruption charges that will surely put him in jail. No, it's much better just to make sure THAT ALL THE HOSTAGES DIE It not only solves the problem of hostages telling inconvenient truths about the IDF murdering their own people under the Hannibal directive which says they should murder their own Israeli people so that they can't be used as bargaining ships for Hamas. Better to murder their citizens so that they're no longer an issue. It also has the added benefit of stoking the Western rage of dead white people because our media refuses to report things accurately and despite literal video evidence showing Israelis killing innocent people in multiple circumstances, the media will always defend the summary executions of poor, brown Muslims as they obviously have no human rights. * The IDF even murdered an entire van of foreign aid workers. Just trying to feed innocent Palestinian children. The IDf hit their vehicles with rockets not once, but in three separate vehicles hunting them down, vehicle to vehicle to ensure that every single one of them was murdered (Even after the aid workers had registered, called the IDF to confirm the route, they had registered with the satellite, planned Route well in advance, also were the largest Aid workers with the most popular Western support in the world. (Obviously it was important to send a message to the world that netanyahu is completely comfortable with even murdering white people if they try to help Palestinians. The system works

  4643. MEMORIES ARE SHORT!!!!! but I remember how the conservatives "balanced the budget" on the backs of the amazing men and women of the Canadian armed services. Maybe they don't think our soldiers deserve to be treated decently but I do. There are other services cuts as well and tax breaks for big business, just google it. Canadian Veterans ABC Campaign 2015 Aug 17, 2015, 08:00 ET OTTAWA, Aug. 17, 2015 /CNW/ - Frustrated by years of cutbacks and lack of support for returning soldiers, Canada's veterans are taking their battle to the political arena. They are calling on Canadians to support veterans by voting against Stephen Harper's Conservative government on Oct 19, 2015. "This is our time to put the terrible treatment of Canada's heroes on the political landscape," said veteran Tom Beaver. "We want every Canadian to know the suffering injured veterans have experienced under Stephen Harper. Our voices must be heard." The veterans are rallying under the banner of Anyone But Conservatives — Canadian Veterans Campaign 2015. This campaign will also feature social media, a web page, billboards and attendance at public meetings to raise veterans' issues. In the past week the campaign reached two million Canadians on Facebook. Despite its rhetoric about supporting our military, the Harper government has consistently taken actions to the detriment of veterans including: Legislated away the right for injured veterans to receive a lifetime pension, substituting a lump sum payment. This leaves many injured veterans in poverty, many with few job prospects; Saved $3.9 million by closing nine Veteran Affairs offices while having the gall to spend $4.5 million for Hockey Night in Canada TV ads to tell Canadians how great a job they are doing to help veterans; Cut the veterans affairs workforce by more than 20 per cent (900 jobs) and clawed back $1.13 billion in unspent funds since 2006. And Pierre Polllievere voted for all of this.

  4660. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & or will sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy.  The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  4684. Well, RT clearly reports in a biased manner to push a Russian agenda. Similar to how the BBC'S reporting on Gaza is completely biased in favor of the Labour party's preferred people. Just based on how basic terms are used like..........  When an Israeli is killed, they are, "slaughtered by Hamas islamic terrorists." However, when it comes to western governments killing indigenous peoples or Gazans, it's more like, "87 Palestinians, including mostly women and children were killed yesterday when a building collapsed on them while taking shelter for the 3rd time." Like some natural disaster befell them, rather than the obvious fact that they were targeted with a 2000 lbs bombs to kill everyone in an entire city block or more, including 3 stories underground and collapse all 20-40 stories or more and every family in the building FOR ONE SINGLE HAMAS SOLDIER. The Palestinians ARE deranged religious fanatics, HOWEVER, the most sophisticated weapons on Earth, UNLEASHED by the most technical Army on Earth, backed by the largest and most advanced Army in the history of humanity ever, can kill every single man, women and child in an entire city block without question or mercy isn't even mentioned. Other than that the building "collapsed." For liberal media, Israelis are always being butchered by insane Muslim jihadists with no mercy or reason. *Except for the Arabs being cruel anti-Semitic lunatics...... Obviously, Israel dropping 2,000 lbs bombs indiscriminately killing literally hundreds & vaporizing or slow roasting small babies as they scream for mercy for hours or days that often goes without answers as unfortunately Palestinians medic's understand that the Israeli soldiers are trained to use the cries of burning children to lure out people in order to either murder them BUT more often to severely wound or maim those First Responders/medical teams to further diminish The Palestinian people's ability to have medical care, but more importantly to sow terror within the communities BUT most importantly, make sure that they're burdened with more crippled people who there's no care for. As Israel refuses any medical assistance for any of the people they helped cripple. Therefore, listening to children burn to death slowly is just more practical & has the further benefit of sending an important message that nobody cares about their humanity and that they should probably leave Gaza so that the settlers can take the land as no one in the west cares enough to even say that they were " purposely maimed and slaughtered to send a message two other Palestinians." Nope, they have to use the passive voice of perhaps something more like "five more Palestinians died yesterday in Gaza." Therefore, because Liberals conside Muslim Palestinians as less than human, the passive language is always used to describe their deaths. As technically they don't count as human beings that should be considered in the same way as European or Americans. This extremely particular fact. That is a very huge part of Western media is not only the reason why it's not actually legitimate information, but more importantly why it's considered propaganda by anyone who actually has any information or any understanding of how the world actually works and is viewed anywhere else in the world as obviously dehumanizing misinformation that only people willfully ignorant of the facts could possibly convince themselves made any sense. The system works.

  4706. If you don't want the "vote blue no matter who" argument once again from M.R, I'd suggest that you watch Bad Faith podcast with Brianna Joy Grey as she doesn't make money from that donor base and has actually paid a real price for supporting Palestinians unlike M.R. who ALWAYS carries the DNC'S blood filled water. Just like how M.R. defended the squad's capitulation on force the vote on the $15 min wage or anything else that progressives actually want and always WILL because that's how they make money. M.R. might feel that a kinder, gentler genocide under Harris is preferred to Trump as Kamala might delay 2000lb bombs for a couple weeks BUT I personally believe that if the Democrats don't lose and specifically because of Gaza, they will learn that the mass slaughter of innocent children is completely meaningless and that they should keep doing that. How Sam and Emma sleep at night knowing that they are actively complicit in these crimes is truly sad in every possible way. P.S. just so we're clear, Palestinians are the canary in the coal mine. Once the Establishment understands that wiping out people off the Earth because they are poor, Brown, speak in a funny way and are of a foreign religion is acceptable to slaughter. It is only a matter of time before they get to the place that your family is originally from. Once all those people are gone, eventually it will come home as this type of fascist ideology always does because without an enemy, complete and total control is unjustified. The system works.

  4708. 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........   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.

  4710. Sadly, I don't think Jagmeet is serious about anything other than his fancy suits or Rolex watches, or maybe his mild deference to Israel but from what I can tell so far, his main concern is self-preservation and keeping in the media spotlight (*AND his very important first steps towards Canadian dental and pharmaceutical which I don't want to diminish. I would be doing his legacy a disservice if I didn't acknowledge his important contributions during this extremely difficult political time to accomplish anything) However, I also understand the political realities of the NDP being extremely underfunded and becoming exponentially less popular under Jagmeet's leadership. I hope I'm wrong but there's been some pretty heinous examples of him putting political expedience over genuine democratic social issues (If he's not socialist and or wants the NDP to be a pragmatic pro capitalist party, then I really want that to be specifically laid out?!? Maybe that's already been said, I don't follow it the way I used to, especially after how he threw a couple of his MPs under the bus over support of the UK'S Jeremy Corbyn.) For the record, Corbyn is the best thing we could possibly hope for in this country as an unapologetic pro labour politician. Sadly, he would be a perfect example of what would also happen if we elected a real democratic socialist who refused to back Israel's genocidal slaughter of innocent children or privatization of Canada's resources. They would make sure he was called an anti-semite (& pretty much every single other smear possible) and then slowly but surely destroy his government using people from within his own party who would undermine his mandate & agenda, especially with the help of our corporate media who are more ravenously pro-genocide than even the most brutal xenophobic anti-muslim groups in Canada sadly. Still, Jagmeet would then hopefully be forced out of government and a new leader elected?!?! The sad fact is anyone who's not Jewish (or even if they are Jewish) is going to be falsely accused of anti-Semitism for anything other than slavish devotion to the execution of every last man, woman and child in Palestine. The sad reality is that any visible minority, especially any religious visual minority in Canadian federal politics will be merciously persecuted in our insanely concentrated billionaire owned media regardless of the facts but even more so if they look different than your average Canadian hoser. It's totally unfair but is a very obvious reality and needs to be addressed by any leader of the NDP who wants to lead, not just follow. Not addressing this isn't an option as avoiding it or placating this group, like Jagmeet's done is just a recipe for things getting worse. Jagmeet's obviously an extremely intelligent, sympathetic and amazing addition to the NDP team but cannot be the face of the party moving forward as the majority of Canadians whether we like to admit it or not are racist, xenophobic, a combination of either and or both, or at the very, very, very, very least, are an unconsciously biased against a group of visible minorities who are very recently in the media for having an open war with the government of India (Who are an extremely important trading partner, especially given the USA trade situation as well as massive Canadian community after the Chinese). Reality is that the overwhelming majority of politics is fought on "vibes." How the f*** else would Trudeau have ever been elected PM lol!?!?! Sad but true. This all comes back to some very important realities, do the NDP want to slowly but surely become irrelevant or worse help PP destroy Canadian industries?!? Or does the only labour representative political party in Canada want to take this opportunity not to become the UK's "Tony Blair" of Canadian politics, w/ a watered down socialist agenda that makes the NDP a "liberal light option," as the party drifts into political irrelevance?!?!? Or, much more importantly?!?! Is this the first opportunity in probably a couple of generations to inspire the youth vote & contrast an extremely huge division between a working class vision of Canada's future with all of our resources and our working people's efforts against the duopoly of the Conservatives and Liberals pro USA corporate agenda, who are literally taking corporate money from the exact same mega Canadian corporations (subsidiaries of foreign conglomerates) while rolling over for the Trump administration so that they can continue to make money from the billionaires?!?!? F**** seriously! This may be the last chance we get and I can't help but think drawing these STARK POLITICAL CONTRASTS is THE ONLY WAY to unequivocally champion the real goals of an NDP that honestly believes what can be done for Canadians?!?! All while Singh drives around in his Maserati, picking up his Armani suit, while making sure that it all matches his Rolexes........ I'm actually very sure this is a super unfair characterization of Singh BUT even though this may come as a shock, politics isn't fair. We need a Bernie Sanders, unfortunately Charlie is leaving which is too bad as he's more or less our Bernie Sanders but perhaps if we begged him, he may be convinced to stay?!? Regardless, that's what we need an old school socialist who is going to make sure people understand that voting NDP is an actual choice against the Liberals/Cons, and the over 150 years of corruption they represent. The system works, let's stop supporting it for once!

  4725. Multi millionaires arguing on behalf of billionaires is less persuasive than they 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.

  4747. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & or will sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy.  The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  4778. The DNC loves Trump as a way to punish the working class for asking for anything whatsoever that would affect their billionaire donors.  40 years of Neoliberalism has left everyone so desperate that DNC tinkering around the edges, is meaningless. Eventually, after 40 years of failed promises from the DNC to the working class, they're seeing if a strong man is able to deliver at the expense of the most vulnerable in our society, which is the promise of ALL fascists. Trump won't deliver obviously, BUT more importantly his failure will drive the working class back to Corporate Democrats who will offer a kinder version of the same Billionaire friendly agenda with the threat of more authoritarian GOP policies if they dare question their corporate Masters. The sad reality is that the DNC doesn't care if Trump gets elected 3 more times, what they're really concerned about is if Bernie Sanders was to give Americans universal health Care that would cost the insurance industry trillions, if Bernie Sanders would actually educate Americans, which would cost the universities trillions if Bernie was to transition to a green economy which would cost the oil Barons trillions, If Bernie was to stop endless Wars + scale back the military industrial Complex which would cost the War Pigs more than tens of trillions of dollars.  Obviously, they'd have Bernie's ass MLK'd long before he got anywhere near doing any of that But it's easier to put in a charlatan like Trump as a grim reminder that the American people only have two choices, a clown Rodeo show fascist that would take away every right the moment he thinks he can do it OR a corporate kleptocracy of Liberal oligarchs who will gamble everyone's human rights and WW3 for their ability to exploit every one in the working class to their advantage and to destroy the entire world environment so that they can go from super wealthy to insanely depraved wealthy. The system works.

  4787. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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 do people 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 sweep 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.

  4866. VP Harris is going to continue to support the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children. The DNC is a vote to offshore jobs with "free trade", endless wars and genocide. HOWEVER, the parents of those murdered children can take solace in the fact that our first black woman President PAID to have those kids executed! Or? Stop supporting the duopoly that has sold out the American working class to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Vote for ANY 3rd party, just to let the DNC know that you don't support tax breaks for billionaires or the slaughter of innocent children, it's the only way they will stop doing both. Sadly, the American people tried to elect Bernie Sanders, TWICE. Now, for a third time the elites have not allowed the American people to choose their leader but instead imposed someone who supports unnecessary corporate inflation, the Military Industry Complex rather than helping Americans and crucially, the ongoing genocide in Gaza (every bomb dropped on a child, is literally a library full of books, that are missing in America.) Vote 3rd party if you don't want to be complicit in the execution of those children or the further erosion of democracy? Sadly, if Trump wins he'll do the same thing & in similar numbers as both parties support Netanyahu's genocidal campaign BUT because Trump is hated, people will actually scrutinize everything that he does worldwide to fight back. However, IF Kamala is elected they can go back to brunch because those children will be rip to shreds by the first black woman president in America........ Ugh.

  4889. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate!!!!  After "the people" tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder Palestinian children, drag America into middle East regional wars or implement free trade agreements that prioritize corporations over American workers.  Clearly, the Democratic process doesn't work because average people would choose Bernie Sanders, Medicare for All, electoral reforms like getting money out of politics , police reform, Free trade agreements that represent workers over corporations and on and on and on. Luckily, by getting rid of all of the democratic processes that would allow people to exercise free will in a Democratic society, they have implemented a donor run Kleptocracy which allows the billionaires who run the DNC to continue to make decisions for everyone in America despite their clear and overwhelming objections!!!!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donor class that finally turned on Biden (obviously because he was so senile, he actually thought he was in charge rather than the donors lol?!?!?) With Walz as VP and Kamala's cheerleaders in the media, she's able to having to answer any difficult decisions that would inform voters on their actual policies. This allows people to believe that Kamala would be different from Biden despite there being no evidence of that except for maybe worse as she's totally beholden to the donors and AIPAC in particular. The system works.

The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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.

  4971. Kamala conceded because ALL of her BILLIONAIRE donors are super excited about ALL the DEREGULATION & TAX BREAKS they will soon enjoy at the expense of the working class, while the pretence of Democracy is maintained by the mainstream media who profits from maintaining the status quo on the false narrative that there's a fundamental difference between BOTH corporate parties, who clearly represent the oligarchy & not anyone who doesn't have at least 7 decimal points after their names. Obviously OUR media is there to Manufacture Consent at the expense of the working class and using identity politics as a way to accuse working people concerned about immigration of being racists if they are white and of course misogynist if they are people of color and or Communists if they don't agree with exploiting workers that have to pay the most expensive rent in recent human history!!!!! The fact that Democrats can say with this straight faced , "they represent democracy, while they spend trillions of dollars to murder citizens of Democratic countries, they use corporate money from businesses that have literally poisoned millions of Americans and have immediately dedicated Media to ignoring hurricane victims while they sent hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine for a war that everyone knows is obviously unwinnable against a nuclear-armed power, 10 times the size, without starting World War 3. This uncomfortable FACT, says everything about how absolutely corrupt they are. Even the American people aren't that stupid anymore!??!?!? The system works.

  4974. Vote 3rd party. KAMALA WILL SUPPORT NEOLIBERALISM, THE M.I.COMPLEX INSTEAD OF WORKERS & THE MURDER OF TEN'S OF 1000's OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN, The Democrat's sole purpose is to take energy and resources from the Left and working class people. Period. They made that clear with what they did to Bernie Sanders in both 2016 & 2020. They would rather Trump than real progress because ultimately the goal is to reward the donor class & consolidate power into the elites, not help regular people. With that as a guide (let's stop pretending that the DNC hasn't been failing on purpose for the last 40ish years, every time they do the Rich get richer and that's a coincidence i suppose), the logical conclusion to our future is eventual climate collapse & or WW3, which will be the pretext for actual fascism (covid really felt like a soft launch). When that happens and we don't have a movement, (Panther Party or Greens but my concern with the greens is that they will sacrifice themselves on the altar of electoralism that bares no fruit & won't be strident when required) 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 and systematically finds all of their petty crimes to either discredit them & or more likely incarceration/assassination). A Case for a 2nd Trump presidency. Therefore, I'm starting to think a second Trump presidency might be in everyone's best interest? If Harris is re-elected 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, purposely making student debt relief fail in a corporate SCOTUS, kids still in cages, refugees dying at the border as well as continuing Trump's "wall', failure on climate, failure on a public healthcare option, the most approvals of oil & gas permits, support to break the backs of unions that actually affect the American economy (despite what Krystal ball says, the fact that they broke the rail workers strike with legislation tells you what the DNC will really do when push comes to shove on unions) continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza and on and on and on, etc........... However, if Trump is re-elected everyone will remember that children are still dying in detention, health insurance is out of control, 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. Sadly, the same with Gaza. Even Trump understands that genocide draws too large of a spotlight to grift in the darkness). Also, once we push Harris across the line and she tastes POWER, do people honestly believe she'll go against the donors and deliver anything for the working class!?!? Another thing is the fact that if Harris serves 4 years, it will almost certainly ensure a GOP sweep of all 3 branches 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 sweep after 4 more years of Neoliberal policies under Harris. The reality is that we can boil the climate/fascist 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 to the Left 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...... Clearly the system is not "working" for us. It's set up for the elites on both sides, so let's stop supporting it! Vote for any 3rd party and throw some sand in the Vaseline. Sure, sure it's going to hurt......... BUT It's going to hurt either way, at least it hurts them as well!!! The system works. Let's stop supporting it, vote 3rd party. Doesn't matter who, just NOT THEM!!!

  5003.  @dioncuevas6600  agreed. I think that he would have handily won against Trump and they could have even made sure she was vice president so that they can keep all the money and pretend that there was some sort of democracy or whatever. However, I think the bigger concern is that by avoiding any kind of primary or anything that resembles representative democracy, they're able to avoid having to answer for the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent children in Palestine so that Netanyahu can avoid jail for just a little bit longer while risking world War 3. Just so this elderly criminal can use Israeli, Canadian & American hostages as a political football to avoid the consequence of being corrupt. Not to mention the fact that The DNC understands that Ukraine is 110% going to lose this war as there is no way they can win against a nuclear power without literally bringing us to The end of civilization in the form of nuclear Armageddon. They just need to get past this election so that they don't have to tell the American people that they've wasted hundreds of billions of dollars & hundreds of thousands of Russian and Ukrainian lives for no f**** reason. Just so that Joe Biden could pretend he was a big man as his brain turned to goo. Also, there's the fact, the economy has been thrown under the bus so that corporations can continue to rape the American people for record profits of gouging everyone. Inflation is a direct result of the well-documented facts and the DNC will continue to support that because that is the donor class that keeps them afloat. While the corporate media who are invested with these same billionaires will continue to clap like the train seals that they are. Walz seems like a decent man and I hope he is able to make some sort of significant addition to Kamala, who is an empty husk to be filled with corporate greed BUT as you may have guessed, I have my reservations. Sadly, there has been many Americans with an outstanding commitment to civilization, the future and our fellow citizens, people alike. Milk, JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King, Malcolm x, and let's not forget all of the world leaders who have been tortured, assassinated, their country's decimated trade and or financial machinations of the establishment through the last 70 years of neoliberal domination from America. All of them fought to do the right thing, however, unfortunately, there's a trend there........... The system works.

  5004. Hard to imagine the Woke crowd volunteering for the "front," In the UK, especially under Starmer! LOL With that said, it's pretty clear that Trump & his troll purposely humiliated zelensky because Ukraine doesn't want to give away half their nation's resources for literally nothing except for Trump's "word." LOL. Also, $500 billion from the states, where did you get that number George?!?! Sure. America probably gave him a couple hundred billion dollars in weapons that they all made a massive amount of kickbacks from. But Ukraine sacrificed hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight America's proxy war. And just because there's a new president doesn't mean America still isn't responsible. Pretending otherwise isn't just stupid, It's f**** dangerous because it allows every new president to pretend that all these weaker nations forced into these situations have any kind of say in the matter, which is insane obviously. Seriously, I get that Biden was the one who lied to Ukraine to fight America's/UK's proxy wars against Russia and if Zelensky was stupid enough to believe that, it's obviously his fault. HOWEVER GEORGE!?! Now that he's learned the hard way that America's "word" is meaningless, why would Zelensky sign away everything for absolutely nothing other than total capitulation to Putin, on literally everything, while Trump is in talks with Putin for aluminum & oil and other resources to undermine the trade deal that Trump literally signed himself with Canada to screw their closest allies America has ever had who helped fight in its Wars, killing hundreds if not thousands of Canadian soldiers, billions of Canadian dollars and everything that Canada does for the USA!?!? All so that Trump can screw anyone stupid enough to believe anything from America, while Trump lines his pockets?!?! Zelinski is totally f*** obviously & I also don't want to die in World War 3. But at the risk of sounding sympathetic to zielinski, I have to admit if I'm being told that I have to give away half of all my stuff & all I'm getting for it is the promise to probably lose the other half, I'd be less receptive to being screwed on international TV as well. I'd rather die on my feet, than capitulate to a petty piece of shit like Trump? I mean , if you're getting f*** no matter what you do, then I'm not sure what's the point of sucking Trump's ass on international television?!? Lastly, I hate Piers Morgan, but I have to admit the more I hear some of this weird slanted s*** George, I got to start wondering why you're such a fan of Putin & NEVER criticize him. It doesn't have to be a deranged propaganda filled tirade like most of Western media, but the fact that it's absolute crickets for ANYTHING WHATSOEVER is concerning?!? Once again, I hate all of these people, cuz they're all disingenuous pieces of s*** risking all of our lives for nothing except a few dollars more, but the sad reality is they're the hand we've been dealt and I don't understand why you think it's wise to give everything to Putin, everything to Trump, for absolutely nothing other than the promise to do it again and worse?!? My only hope is that the complete and total destruction of Ukraine as a result of trusting America and Britain to help fight their dirty proxy wars is a profound lesson to every other single nation in the world that the two most exploitative countries on Earth EVER, are not to be trusted under ANY circumstances EVER, even if you're f**** WHITE!?!?! It just doesn't matter, they will f*** you the moment it's slightly convenient & they'll demand you to not only wipe up the j*zz dripping down your leg while they do it, with not just a smile, nope, you're going to have to say "thank you," repeatedly & with the world watching. The system works.

  5005. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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 do people 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 sweep 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.

  5025. "Left Washing" is unfortunately real. Using the "center left opinion" (Liberals) to sell Corporate talking points of blaming the working class as racists despite people of color also going to Trump, OR the actual Left, like Bernie for demanding that billionaires pay their fair share of taxes & not support using Ukrainians as canon fodder as both parties knows that the ukrainians will never be able to beat a massively larger Russia that is nuclear armed while approaching a million dead soldiers, let alone the millions that are injured and or the entire infrastructure in cities decimated for generations, the full-throated support of Netanyahu's murderous rampage against not only Gaza, Westbank, Lebanon, Syria & Iran, Let alone the war both parties want with China which would be insane for all the very obvious reasons!?!?(NONE OF THEM EVER MENTIONED THE INSANE INFLATION FROM ISRAEL SETTING THE REGION ON FIRE ONCE, IT WOULD TOTALLY DESTABILIZE THE ENTIRE WORLD ECONOMY DRIVING THE WEST'S ENEMIES EVEN CLOSER TOGETHER AND DESTROYING WHAT'S LEFT OF THE DOLLAR. AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO WONDER IF THEY'RE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE FOR F*** SAKE!?!?! The "center Left" (like J Carville, morning Joe & their ilk) get paid to say that they support the DNC establishment's militarism, support of Billionaires, while blaming workers for not wanting to compete against a refugee who is escaping a country that America destroyed & sanctioned & flee to THAT place as they're not dropping 2000 lbs bombs there. American workers aren't racist, they're desperate and the rent's too F**** high!?!? The DNC did this on purpose to keep wages low for their billionaire donors and to force competition between these two groups that would divide them, which was a huge issue that depressed not only the Muslim vote, black, brown, women and youth. However, the billionaires that pay the consultants & corporate "opinions" would not appreciate that "truth bomb," so that part of the analysis is conveniently left off the table The system works

  5039. Frum arguably contributed to the worst administration in American history, as their lies on the Iraq war contributed directly to the loss of around 10 trillion over the last 25 years & literally hundreds of thousands of lives. Had these Bush W charlatans not been allowed to use a GOP controlled SCOTUS in 2000 to literally steal an election, then competent people would have stopped the 9/11 attacks, therefore all that money wouldn't have been wasted or veterans lives or limbs lost. Then there wouldn't have been any 2008 crash but even if there had been, the American treasury would have been able to bail out not only the banks but also enough to help Americans to keep their homes. Then there wouldn't have been 20 years of wage stagnation that culminated in so much outrage towards the Establishment that the American people wouldn't have elected a deranged game show host to send a gigantic middle finger to the people who 've ruined their lives and their children live's for generations. Also, The bush doctrine of expanding NATO to the Russian border forcing Putin to react, seeing as the last two invading forces of Napoleon and Hitler used the exact same route. The people who keep saying that putting nuclear weapons on the border where 70 years ago the Russian people lost almost 30 million people isn't a big deal is utterly ridiculous. Now, as a result of Frum's & associates ideological insanity, Americans haven't invested in 20 years of infrastructure, education for its youth or the ability to pay down debt and or invest in its future but instead made a small group of Frum's Friends in the military industrial complex, even more wealthy at the expense of weakening America against its adversaries at every turn, especially China. Could you imagine had America spent $10 trillion on advancing their capacity to educate and innovate over the last 20 years instead of sending our young men and women to die needlessly in a desert?!?! Frum should be ashamed of his contribution to his clear contribution to the people (Cheney's?!?) dedicated to profiting off hundreds of thousands of Innocent dead Iraqis, thousands of dead American soldiers (not to mention many who killed themselves when they came home short a couple limbs + with diseases from burn pits that clearly didn't give a s*** about the veterans + most importantly of all, no help when they returned from fighting Bush's Illegal Wars against two countries that weren't even the ones who did it, but unfortunately Saudi Arabia were bestest friends with the Bush's?!?!! but I digress....). Let alone the massive loss of treasury, credibility on the world stage which sacrificed security for decades, investment in America's future and on and on........ Mr Frum you will be HATED FOR GENERATIONS & I'M SURE YOU'RE CHILDREN ARE ASHAMED OF YOU, AS A CANADIAN I KNOW I CERTAINLY AM. Trump clearly is terrible, but what Bush's people have done is so vastly worse & are directly responsible for the conditions for Trump's Presidency. So much so that it shocks me to the core when I hear them spew anything about democracy or lying and more importantly, the fact that they are now aligned with the DNC is extremely concerning to say the least. You sir have no honor or integrity whatsoever, you will never be able to wash the blood from your hands or the shame you've brought to your family or our country. By

  5077. Obama ran on codifying Roe versus Wade as his first act in office 2008. He was elected with a super majority but decided against making it law once in office as it was politically advantageous to have the RNC's anti-abortion stance as a credible threat to women's health. Obama & the DNC used women's reproductive Rights as a threat to force people into supporting corporate Democrats, who refused to to codify Roe for crass political gains at the expense of women's lives. The DNC purposely failed women's rights to advance their political agenda as they know that voters want Bernie Sanders BUT the DNC KNOWS that by cynically allowing Republicans to overturn Roe it will FORCE people who are furious about the anti-democratic/pro billionaire tendencies of the DNC to still vote for unpopular DNC candidates WHO OBVIOUSLY DON'T REPRESENT WORKING PEOPLE'S INTERESTS in the hope that they at least protect women's basic health needs.....this time. The DNC was right unfortunately, despite being historically unpopular for their utter refusal to do the overwhelming majority of Biden's campaign promises to the Left & or their overwhelming commitment to genocide, regular people have come out for the last 3 elections to protect themselves against the DNC enabled theocratic GOP's agenda to restrict women's reproductive healthcare despite the fact that the DNC doesn't represent the views of the overwhelming majority of the working class. Sadly, we know that the DNC has purposely placed them in a position to either support the DNC's commitment to murdering Brown Muslim children or losing their reproductive healthcare rights, which was all done on purpose.  The system works People can't articulate why they f**** hate the system but this type of s*** is everywhere.

  5091. 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........   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.

  5118. Lol! "Trump is in it for himself." Unlike Obama who promised "HOPE & CHANGE" but delivered evictions for working people while delivering trillion$ to the people who tanked the economy in 2008!?!? Now Obama is hang gliding with billionaires. Or genocide Joe taking more money from the Israeli lobby, military industrial complex and the oil and gas industry than any other president?!? I have to ask PSA, what do you people think will happen in 2028 after 4 more years of Joe Biden's neoliberal policies, genocide and broken promises to the Left as well as the middle class that deliver more of the same's race to the bottom? You must understand as political analysts that the GOP will sweep all three branches of government. When that happens, the thing you've been threatening, that a game show host taking over fascist control of the government will be in the hands of a competent fascist GOP rather than a game show host?!?  I get that you guys think that if Trump wins you're all still going to be rich, go to the cool guys party and you'll be able to use the GOPs authoritainism to drive normies back to corporate Democrats BUT what if the b***** you've been selling about fascism is true?!?! I don't think Trump is capable of it because nobody trusts him, especially the people around him. In 2028 when the GOP sweeps all 3 branches of government and there is some sort of major cataclysmic event, what is to stop a competent Republican from seizing complete and total control? The people that let the Nazis do what they wanted to in the Weimar Republic thought they could keep their status and money if they just let the Nazis do terrible things to everyone else BUT eventually they came for the establishment as well. I don't think you need to do anything for the working class because its right thing to do. However, I do believe you should be worried about yourselves because without the working class to protect you when the brown shirts coming marching into your town...... The system works, stop supporting it.

  5136. ​ @lionofjudah5221 Harris is going to continue to support the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children. The DNC is a vote to offshore jobs with "free trade", endless wars and genocide. HOWEVER, the parents of those murdered children can take solace in the fact that our first black woman President PAID to have them killed!?!?! Or? Stop supporting the duopoly that has sold out the American working class to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Vote for ANY 3rd party, just to let the DNC know that you don't support tax breaks for billionaires or the slaughter of innocent children, it's the only way they will stop doing both. Sadly, the American people tried twice to elect Bernie Sanders. Now, for a third time the elites have not allowed the American people to choose their leader but instead imposed someone who supports unnecessary corporate inflation, the Military Industry Complex rather than helping Americans and crucially, the ongoing genocide in Gaza.  Vote 3rd party if you don't want to be complicit in the execution of those children or the further erosion of democracy? Sadly, if Trump wins he'll do the same thing & in similar numbers as both parties support Netanyahu's genocidal campaign BUT because Trump is hated, people will actually scrutinize everything that he does worldwide to fight back. However, IF Kamala is elected they can go back to brunch because those children will be slaughtered by the first black woman president in America........ Ugh.

  5174. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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).

  5193. 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.

  5205. VOTE 3RD PARTY!!!! The reality is that the duopoly is going to win regardless BUT if a massive voter turnout for 3rd parties occurs it could possibly get 5% for official federal government support and more importantly start to break the back of corporate domination of both parties. Besides, 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). 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. Dr Cornell West for President (or any 3rd party, just so long as you're not supporting the duopoly). By

  5257. MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concern yourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............

  5321. Trump is the unfortunate blowback of 40 years Neoliberal DNC 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 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.

  5353. There's nothing in that area in Russia that is relevant to Putun. Yes, it's an embarrassment but sacrificing the lives of so many Russian and Ukrainian soldiers just to make Putin feel sad seems not only ill advised but extremely stupid. There's nothing there that would give ukrainians any sort of bargaining chip or it would have already been protected and regardless it'll obviously be stamped out shortly as there's no way to maintain supply lines. To me, it seems like they're just trying to get past the American election and to give the Democrats some wins on TV for people who are too stupid to understand the obvious truth that the ukrainians will never beat a nuclear-armed Russia with a vastly larger and well-armed Army regardless as to how many useless open fields it destroys or Russian villagers it butchers (I get that Russians have probably done the same war crimes but delivering back more of the same only helps Putin deliver the message that the Americans are coming to slaughter regular Russians and he is the only one to save them.) Let's assume that Putin is the new Hitler as the mainstream media suggests. What do you think Hitler would have done on the last day in the bunker, had he had nuclear weapons? Ukraine has a right to fight back, we should help them BUT not to the point where we damn the entire world to nuclear Armageddon. The fact is Russia isn't going away and the only peace deal that lasts is one that disappoints everyone and loses elections. I'm so sick and tired of the mainstream media's drum beat for war. I get that it's good for ratings and helps all the corporations stock prices, but it makes everyone else in the world suffer for no reason other than to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Ukraine is incapable of winning this war and using more American tax payer dollars to prolong the war for both countries young men who actually have to fight it, does nothing except to enrich the military industrial Complex of both countries, who will continue to benefit from the slaughter of all of these young men. Regardless of how many young Ukrainian men die needlessly, Putin will not turn himself over to the Americans because he's found some sense of morality. The fact is that the American political Elite keeps saying that Putin will never, under any circumstances, ever, no matter how much we invade Russia or encourage his political enemies to assassinate him, will ever use nuclear weapons is more or less a triple dog dare to use nuclear weapons?!?!   I get that Americans are fundamentally stupid and have never actually had to pay the price for their ignorance, hubris and or deeply selfish intentions that everyone who's not American expects well eventually you have to be paid but will probably result in the end of civilization.  Regardless, we are rapidly approaching that moment and more importantly, rather than Americans and American voters who support the genocidal lunatics on both sides who love all these  wars  and the donors who encourage them will SADLY not be the only ones who suffer the consequences BUT rather the entire world. The system works.

  5379. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate!!!! After "the people" tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder Palestinian children, drag America into middle East regional wars or implement free trade agreements that prioritize corporations over American workers. Clearly, the Democratic process doesn't work because average people would choose Bernie Sanders, Medicare for All, electoral reforms like getting money out of politics , police reform, Free trade agreements that represent workers over corporations and on and on and on. Luckily, by getting rid of all of the democratic processes that would allow people to exercise free will in a Democratic society, they have implemented a donor run Kleptocracy which allows the billionaires who run the DNC to continue to make decisions for everyone in America despite their clear and overwhelming objections!!!!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donor class that finally turned on Biden (obviously because he was so senile, he actually thought he was in charge rather than the donors lol?!?!?) Kamala obviously understands that in order to be anointed, she will have to pick Shapiro (or someone similar) who's absolutely perfect! He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports the complete and total genocide in Gaza, but mosy importantly of all, shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of the mass slaughter of Palestinians! But WAIT, that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensures that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery & the taxpayers. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's legacy by his commitment to Wall Street in making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! If you want to Go kite surfing with multi-billionaires after your time in office, you got to learn how to play ball;) The system works.

  5410. Vote 3rd party. KAMALA WILL SUPPORT NEOLIBERALISM, THE M.I.COMPLEX INSTEAD OF WORKERS & THE MURDER OF TEN'S OF 1000's OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN, The Democrat's sole purpose is to take energy and resources from the Left and working class people. Period. They made that clear with what they did to Bernie Sanders in both 2016 & 2020. They would rather Trump than real progress because ultimately the goal is to reward the donor class & consolidate power into the elites, not help regular people. With that as a guide (let's stop pretending that the DNC hasn't been failing on purpose for the last 40ish years, every time they do the Rich get richer and that's a coincidence i suppose), the logical conclusion to our future is eventual climate collapse & or WW3, which will be the pretext for actual fascism (covid really felt like a soft launch). When that happens and we don't have a movement, (Panther Party or Greens but my concern with the greens is that they will sacrifice themselves on the altar of electoralism that bares no fruit & won't be strident when required) 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 and systematically finds all of their petty crimes to either discredit them & or more likely incarceration/assassination). A Case for a 2nd Trump presidency. Therefore, I'm starting to think a second Trump presidency might be in everyone's best interest? If Harris is re-elected 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, purposely making student debt relief fail in a corporate SCOTUS, kids still in cages, refugees dying at the border as well as continuing Trump's "wall', failure on climate, failure on a public healthcare option, the most approvals of oil & gas permits, support to break the backs of unions that actually affect the American economy (despite what Krystal ball says, the fact that they broke the rail workers strike with legislation tells you what the DNC will really do when push comes to shove on unions) continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza and on and on and on, etc........... However, if Trump is re-elected everyone will remember that children are still dying in detention, health insurance is out of control, 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. Sadly, the same with Gaza. Even Trump understands that genocide draws too large of a spotlight to grift in the darkness). Also, once we push Harris across the line and she tastes POWER, do people honestly believe she'll go against the donors and deliver anything for the working class!?!? Another thing is the fact that if Harris serves 4 years, it will almost certainly ensure a GOP sweep of all 3 branches 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 sweep after 4 more years of Neoliberal policies under Harris. The reality is that we can boil the climate/fascist 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 to the Left 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...... Clearly the system is not "working" for us. It's set up for the elites on both sides, so let's stop supporting it! Vote for any 3rd party and throw some sand in the Vaseline. Sure, sure it's going to hurt......... BUT It's going to hurt either way, at least it hurts them as well!!! The system works. Let's stop supporting it, vote 3rd party. Doesn't matter who, just NOT THEM!!!

  5414. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploitation of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country, ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beating the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians, the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with CCCP) was actively colluding with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to enforce American corporate interests against the USSR & or Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or resources for US Corporations. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years, of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to inevitably happen because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & will sacrifice everyone to their Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger

  5464. So the critical drinker often brings this point up, which is, "who is this for?" Seriously, I'm a man who's almost 50 & I can safely tell you that I hate myself enough already, so there's no need to add to it at this stage of my life, certainly not for entertainment by People who are 20 years younger than me and don't remember anything to do with this era or made these friends actually friends! The characters were in a time and place of the '70s and honestly, for that era, they were actually pretty progressive as it was a team that really wasn't romantic and everybody just worked together as a team with nobody taking the credit. Especially fred for that matter, other than he did drive the van but otherwise he was just listening and Velma really did deliver a lot of the intelligence of the group and they ALL listened, because they were all respectful to each other. Just adding a bunch of high school jealousy and drama, isn't developing the characters or giving us any kind of backdrop to their lives that actually makes us want to know them better or for that matter anyone else in their lives, It just reminds us of why we are seeking escape from our current social situation. It certainly feels like they were all given a memo, that said, "I hate these characters and I want you to make sure that nobody recognizes them. Especially the people who would actually give a s*** and more importantly, make them irrelevant to The adolescences of today, as they wouldn't actually watch something geared towards this 70's age group that isn't respectful to the original? It's so weird that these showrunners and production people are so completely and totally wedged up their own asses, that they can't understand why making a nostalgia show that neither appeals to the people who originally watched it or young people who couldn't get past how trite and passive aggressive it actually is.......

  5475. Listening to Trudeau makes my skin crawl, however, I've never been a fan of the conservatives either as I remember the Harper government. They gave some upper class tax cuts for soccer mom's, petty cruelty service cuts to the elderly, disabled and veterans (& of course the usual losers but that just makes them break into my stuff more) So I'm curious as to what you think electing a conservative government will do specifically for Us? As far as I know, everyone making less than $100,000 gets a carbon CHQ (I make over the cutoff so I have never seen a check. I'll actually get a tax break), once the cons are elected people won't get that anymore as the cons have said they're going to end many programs and they're going to slash government spending which generally means that you will be paying more for services while also not receiving the carbon chq anymore either? So just in terms of a day-to-day quality of life situation, what do you actually expect will be the difference? I know Pierre said he'd make it possible to buy a home in Vancouver where I live by "stopping the gatekeepers" which sounds cool of course cuz who doesn't want that but it doesn't actually make any sense as it doesn't say how? I mean do you think Pierre is having homeless veterans put into the house next to his place LOL!? I get hating Trudeau is enjoyable cuz he really sucks bad but I just don't see how the conservatives are any different? Pierre Poillevre was in government for almost 10 years and didn't deal with any of this except deregulation of oil and gas industry that allows the pollution of rivers and lakes which is fine I guess but that's less than 10% of the economy?(*Over 70% of major shareholders in Canada's largest oil companies are foreign so most money leaves Canada) Great for his donors I suppose but even when they did it last time housing still went up almost 50% on his and Harper's watch? Anyways, I'm really hoping I'm missing something because this isn't looking good, feels like we're going from the frying pan and into the fire. Please give me ANYTHING TO HOPE FOR, PLEASE!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone & Thanks!

  5502. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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). 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 P.S. Marianne has even less of a chance than Dr. West, Bernie knows that better than anyone and so should you Kyle.

  5542. Let's always remember people like Medhi were more than comfortable to ingratiate himself with corporate media by throwing people who were actually brave enough to stand up against the Israeli propaganda way under the bus, people like Jeremy Corbyn or Assange are perfect examples of his duplicity. That's why he still supports the Democratic party despite its overwhelming support of genocide, or his support of the Labour party in Britain who also supports the genocide in Gaza. Medhi supports both of those governments whole heartedly because he wants to be on the side of money and influence in the Establishment. He's a sellout and is exactly as Norm Finkelstein describes him as a 'piece of.........' MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concern yourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?! Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............ Clearly, Medhi is a great attack dog and I'm glad that he is setting his sights on the people who are perpetrating these atrocities, however, The reality is that anyone who can so casually blow in the direction of the corporate wind, can't genuinely be trusted and is ultimately dangerous as they can never, ever, under any circumstances to be trusted not to do it again once defending the truth becomes inconvenient or expensive. Until I see Medhi actually sacrifice anything to help anyone other than himself, I will never trust him again. I was waiting for Mehi to start screaming, "do you condemn Donald Trump, do you?!?!?!" He's such a corporate whore.

  5561. CNN pays Fareed to pee down your leg and tell you that it's trickling down "FREEDOM!" instead Neoliberalism's real purpose, boarded up Main St's, rust belts & homelessness? The Neoliberal concenus has failed, as people understand that "free trade" has been designed to screw them, so that the ultra wealthy can become DISGUSTINGLY even MORE WEALTHY AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERY ONE ELSE. The DNC base tried to vote for Bernie Sanders, twice, as such, the DNC donors punished them for not choosing a corporate hack in either 2016 or 2020 primaries. Therefore, they weren't even allowed to have a primary last time, as they couldn't be trusted to ensure the interests of the billionaire donor class over their workers. Forcing them to choose between a demented gameshow host with authoritarian tendencies OR a person without ANY IDEALOGICAL COMMITMENT's TO ANYTHING, WHATSOEVER, OTHER THAN NAKED SELF INTEREST & BILLIONAIRES. Fareed's just another millionaire "journalist" who always blames the Left & working class people's ignorance, rather than the DNC's complete servitude to billionaires at the expense of everyone else!!!!! Can you remember one time, ever, even once that Fareed has suggested an answer that didn't help Corporations instead of people or support yet another war?!? Wokeness is why the DNC lost?!? Instead of course the DNC keeping Biden's decline secret, the fact that DNC knows that Russia can't be beat or Americans don't like paying for genocide, the fact that Bernie was screwed by the establishment twice and no primary at all last time, ignoring the fact that they let corporations buy up all the housing, that they crushed the rail workers strike and on and on and on..... But Tell us again how you lost because someone suggested trans people or refugees should have rights?!? No, I'm afraid no lessons have been learned, except that No matter how criminal they act or how obviously they sell out to billionaires, the DNC and it's corporate propagandist's like Fareed will continue to get rich for lying to the American people. My only hope is that they will continue to be shown as complete and total FRAUDS with not only zero morality but an actual malevolent hate towards real journalism as it threatens their ability to extract wealth for propaganda. The system works.

  5581. Let's all remember that CTV is owned by billionaires and that they hate the liberal/NDP coalition government and have supported the conservatives and their tax breaks for billionaires in almost every single election. I'm no fan of the Liberals, but let's be honest, the conservatives are going to give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy (mainstream media), service cuts to everyone else, slightly less mass immigration (look up the numbers, the Cons are almost exactly the same on immigration) and of course petty cruelty to anyone who needs help like veterans, the disabled or anyone else who can't help the conservatives get more power and money. If you don't believe me, look up their record or I can send it to you if you want. I understand hating Trudeau, he's a bumbling imbecile but sadly Pierre is something much more dangerous. Pierre is actually very smart and he knows how to manipulate people into voting against their own interests. Don't get me wrong, I get that people are going to do that anyways because they are grossly ignorant of the facts of Pierre's voting record in the 9 years of the Harper government & it's relentless support of corporations and the ultra wealthy. But eventually those choices will come home to roost and people will remember why they kicked out Harper and almost 10 years of debt-ridden government broken promises. Sadly, it'll be after Pierre sells off a bunch of important Canadian infrastructure/land just like Harper did on his last year in government to the highest bidder in order to pretend that he balanced the budget (could you imagine selling your house and then having to rent it from the new owners while telling your family that the balance sheet looks good as your money goes to the landlord every month?!?!).  The conservatives ran out the back door with bags of money (Cons foreign minister Baird literally left government & worked for a Chinese billionaire and a f##$ing Gold mine. It's f**** cartoonish?!?!). Clearly, Pierre is one of the greatest snake oil salesman of our time, even more depressing is that the Canadian people will have to pick up the tab as always on the back of working Canadians. P.s. had Trudeau actually ended first-past-the-post system (FPTP) which he campaigned on and then didn't bring in proportional representation because it allowed Liberals to rule unopposed is why we are going to have a majority conservative government (last time it was 34% of the electorate that voted for conservatives but won a majority )even though the overwhelming majority of Canadians actually don't support that. I understand how much we all f**** hate Trudeau, he is a selfish, entitled horrible piece of s*** that has doomed Canada for the next generation because of his selfishness to conservative corporate rule. F*** Trudeau I hope he gets rectal cancer. The system works.

  5611. Where you spazzed constantly while Bri patiently waited for you to calm the fuck down. VOTE 3RD PARTY because 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, 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 (Panther Party is for lack of a better term that has historical context for a parallel political government). The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, trade agreements that are worker centric, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources of the PP 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 PP (Panther Party)for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors (by direct means or omission) we will use our resources to make their 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, the inevitable climate wars are coming. Unless we start organizing now and use our time, $ and souls in pursuit of an organization that is going to support us when the System collapses we will find ourselves without the ability to survive to fight back. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Panther Party

  5614. The argument for a third party vote. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: The Democrat's sole purpose is to take energy and resources from the Left and working class people. Period. They made that clear with what they did to Bernie Sanders in both 2016 & 2020. They would rather Trump than real progress because ultimately the goal is to reward the donor class & consolidate power into the elites, not help the regular people. With that as a guide (let's stop pretending that the DNC hasn't been failing on purpose for the last 40ish years, every time they do the Rich get richer and that's a coincidence i suppose), the logical conclusion to our future is eventual climate collapse & or WW3, which will be the pretext for actual fascism (covid really felt like a soft launch). When that happens and we don't have a movement, (Panther Party or Greens but my concern with the greens is that they will sacrifice themselves on the altar of electoralism that bares no fruit & won't be strident when required) 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 and systematically finds all of their petty crimes to either discredit them & or more likely incarceration/assassination). 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, purposely making student debt relief fail in a corporate SCOTUS, kids still in cages, refugees dying at the border as well as continuing Trump's "wall', failure on climate, failure on a public healthcare option, the most approvals of oil & gas permits, support to break the backs of unions that actually affect the American economy (despite what Krystal ball says, the fact that they broke the rail workers strike with legislation tells you what the DNC will really do when push comes to shove on unions) continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza and on and on and on, etc........... However, if Trump is re-elected everyone will remember that children are still dying in detention, health insurance is out of control, 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. Sadly, the same with Gaza. Even Trump understands that genocide draws too large of a spotlight to grift in the darkness). Also and more importantly, let's say we drag Biden across the line and now he doesn't have to face re-election, do people honestly believe he'll go against the donors and deliver anything for the working class!?!? Another thing is the fact that if Biden serves a full 8 years, it will almost certainly ensure a GOP sweep of all 3 branches 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 sweep after 4 more years of Neoliberal policies under Biden. The reality is that we can boil the climate/fascist 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 to the Left 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...... Clearly the system is not "working" for us. It's set up for the elites on both sides, so let's stop supporting it! Vote for any 3rd party and throw some sand in the Vaseline. Sure, sure it's going to hurt......... BUT It's going to hurt either way, at least it hurts them as well!!! The system works. Let's stop supporting it, vote 3rd party.

  5629. (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.

  5639. Assange was the canary in the coal mine. 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 expexct swiftly and without remorse the same results, if not considerably worse, given the fact that they are burning hospital ridden children alive. 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 incorrect and allowing their ignorance to continue turns them into victims of a war they never signed up for. The system works and it won't stop working until everyone's dead and they own everything. Unfortunately, that's just how it is and it's time we start to address it as such. 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). Therefore, it has casualties, collateral damage and massive losses to the side that is losing which is the Left to be clear. 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 CIA aren't as respectful as the Mafia and will 110% involve friends, family, children, lying & fabricating evidence as they have no limits on ANYTHING WHATSOEVER AND ANYONE STARTING TO CHALLENGE THEM MUST BE TOLD WHAT THEY ACTUALLY FACE. The system works.

  5646. If America & Russia agreed to drop a strategic Nuke in Ukraine to create a 9/11 event that polarized the electorate giving Trump a 3rd term to "save us" and destroy the social safety net, civil rights, unconstrained power to the military industrial complex & all the powers of a government during a "TOTAL WAR SCENARIO." Even better, regardless of a recession, any massive federal government failures in every possible way, none of it would be relevant as anything short of total commitment to total WAR or "patriotism" which means slavish devotion to the current administration as you would obviously need to suspend elections immediately to ensure that everything was "safe," as this clearly would cause mass protests that is not only un-American BUT more importantly, anti-Trump. Which is not only treason & punishable by death during war BUT actually a crime against God, as Trump is our imperfect vessel against the Left's commie commitment to Satan. This would solve so many problems in terms of being able to pass laws where anything short of celebrating King Donald, would be considered treason & or blasphemy as those people would be jailed without trial as Satanic heretics are not entitled to a jury of their peers........ The system works........ I mean, obviously the Nazis set up a false flag for the Reichstag & or the Gleiwitz Polish incident to completely consolidate power during a moment of weakness of government. Luckily the Trump's administration of Republicans too loyal to the Constitution to consider anything improper. Musk & his supporters are also not capable of lying for political gain or consolidating power for a fascist takeover by weakening the administrative State as that would as a great American intellectual once said, "SAD." We just need to let go of the rope & let the tide take us out to sea and assume that the richest people on Earth, who were previously being charged or already convicted of multiple crimes against Democracy, ultimately have our best interest at heart!!!! HOWEVER, if somehow they couldn't be trusted, at least there's the AWESOME oratory power of Joaquin Jefferies or Chuck Schumer's strong inspirational leadership that would NEVER allow the DNC to fall in line for The Weimar Republic 2.0, In an act of profound cowardice just to protect their own wealth and privilege?!?!? Nope! Clearly our leaders are the selfless people we 'd always suspected and we can all go back to sleep....... The system works.

  5741. (This argument has to be adressed head-on, immediately!!!) 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........ 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.

  5752. The DNC supports Netanyahu's obviously genocidal lunatics as well as Israel's obvious plans to force America to fight the wars that Israel picks so that American taxpayers pick up the tab in $ & American lives for Israel's immoral bloodthirsty attempts to destroy the region in the hope that Israel can rebuild it with Americans money based on a fascist white Jewish ethnostate!?!! You can't have the President say out one side of his mouth that murdering tens of thousands of innocent Muslim children makes him sad BUT out the other side that Biden supports Israel's deranged mass murder spree across the middle East and that it will continue to do so NO MATTER WHAT?!?!? I understand that this passes without much notice because everyone understands that Joementia literally has no power, influence and or general basic cognitive function at this point, but everyone else DOES understand other than corporate Joe, that the DNC has been making these very specific choices for quite some time and actions speak louder than words. Despite the hand ringing, It's quite quite clear that the DNC has every intention of backing Israel's regime change wars across the middle East, which would 100% destroy any gains made against inflation, would destroy any chances of a broader peace agreement with literally anyone in the entire world, as everyone would 100% understand that America is more or less a psychopath who's backing another psychopath on a sequel that nobody wanted: natural born killers 2: poor, brown and Muslim's don't count as HUMAN BEINGS!?!?!?! WTF.

  5757. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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, continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza. 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. Sadly the same with Gaza). Also, let's say we drag Biden across the line and now he doesn't have to face re-election do people 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 sweep 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.

  5775. LOL?!?!?!? Obama's last gigantic middle finger to Biden is spectacular. He might as well have chanted, "Let's go, Brandon!" Thank you Joe, for letting the Donors force you out of the race because you are so decrepit, senile, uninspiring that your 50 years of neoliberal failures like protecting credit card companies over consumers, jailing the most black and brown people of any country ever at any time in the entire history of the world, overseeing a genocide in Gaza that saw the wholesale slaughter of at least 20,000 children in Gaza is truly inspiring. Also, let's not forget his many failures on campaign promises, where he purposely planned that scotus would reject his debt relief for students so he could force young people back to the polls for a third time, his weak capitulation to the parliamentarian on a $15 an hour minimum wage, the fist bump for the Saudi Prince who butchered an American journalist, Biden promised not to drill anymore on federal land and then issued the most permits of any president ever, also let American/Palestinian journalist Shireen abu akleh be obviously assassinated by the IDF with zero consequences, let alone the literal murder by Israel of hundreds of nurses, doctors, journalists and aid workers (EVEN THE WHITE ONES?!?!). Obama took the knife out of Joementia just long enough to remind Biden that he'll never be loved like Obama and that the only reason he won the 2020 election was that Obama and the establishment hated Bernie Sanders even more than they had no respect for genocide Joe Like Obama said, "Let's go Brandon!!!!!"

  5788. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  5799. Lol, yeah good luck with using Trump fact checks to somehow save this from the obvious disaster that it was. Dementia Joe is who he will obviously now be called because genocide Joe doesn't make sense, as he's clearly not the one in charge & it says everything about the Democrat party. The white house is obviously run by a bunch of goddamn donors and the people who control Washington and not that disoriented old man who can't string two f**** sentences together. Clearly, Biden will not be running for president as he should be sent to an old-timers home as anyone with any goddamn eyes or ears understands. The real question is the obvious fact that they would rather Trump win then to do anything for the American people because any sort of primary would have brought in Bernie Sanders which the DNC despises because he wouldn't agree with genocide, endless wars or tax breaks for billionaires and or blocking universal healthcare for Americans (Biden said specifically that he would block any sort of universal healthcare for Americans) like literally every other normal first world country. Obviously, we're all going to die as a result of the dnc's complete and total capitulation to the donor class, the Israelis and The military industrial complex. I can't describe how angry I am. Oh wait, I think I just did.......... How the f*** can they justify this completely horrific s**show that's coming down the pipe?!?! You people suck, the mainstream media sucks and worst of all Joe Biden sucks so bad that he makes Trump look reasonable. F** you & the billionaires who run America. I guess we understand now why Biden is Netanyahu 's B****. The system works.

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).

  5853. Obama ran on codifying Roe versus Wade as his first act in office 2008. He was elected with a super majority but decided against making it law once in office as it was politically advantageous to have the RNC's anti-abortion stance as a credible threat to women's health. Obama & the DNC used women's reproductive Rights as a threat to force people into supporting corporate Democrats, who refused to to codify Roe for crass political gains at the expense of women's lives. The DNC purposely failed women's rights to advance their political agenda as they know that voters want Bernie Sanders BUT the DNC KNOWS that by cynically allowing Republicans to overturn Roe it will FORCE people who are furious about the anti-democratic/pro billionaire tendencies of the DNC to still vote for unpopular DNC candidates WHO OBVIOUSLY DON'T REPRESENT WORKING PEOPLE'S INTERESTS in the hope that they at least protect women's basic health needs.....this time. The DNC was right unfortunately, despite being historically unpopular for their utter refusal to do the overwhelming majority of Biden's campaign promises to the Left & or their overwhelming commitment to genocide, regular people have come out for the last 3 elections to protect themselves against the DNC enabled theocratic GOP's agenda to restrict women's reproductive healthcare despite the fact that the DNC doesn't represent the views of the overwhelming majority of the working class. Sadly, we know that the DNC has purposely placed them in a position to either support the DNC's commitment to murdering Brown Muslim children or losing their reproductive healthcare rights, which was all done on purpose.  The system works People can't articulate why they f**** hate the system but this type of s*** is everywhere.

  5867. This coward won't let me reply to comments and understandably so. Frum arguably contributed to the worst administration in American history, as their lies on the Iraq war contributed directly to the loss of around 10 trillion over the last 25 years & literally hundreds of thousands of lives. Had these Bush W charlatans not been allowed to use a GOP controlled SCOTUS in 2000 to literally steal an election, then competent people would have stopped the 9/11 attacks, therefore all that money wouldn't have been wasted or veterans lives or limbs lost. Then there wouldn't have been any 2008 crash but even if there had been, the American treasury would have been able to bail out not only the banks but also enough to help Americans to keep their homes. Then there wouldn't have been 20 years of wage stagnation that culminated in so much outrage towards the Establishment that the American people wouldn't have elected a deranged game show host to send a gigantic middle finger to the people who 've ruined their lives and their children live's for generations. Also, The bush doctrine of expanding NATO to the Russian border forcing Putin to react, seeing as the last two invading forces of Napoleon and Hitler used the exact same route. The people who keep saying that putting nuclear weapons on the border where 70 years ago the Russian people lost almost 30 million people isn't a big deal is utterly ridiculous. Now, as a result of Frum's & associates ideological insanity, Americans haven't invested in 20 years of infrastructure, education for its youth or the ability to pay down debt and or invest in its future but instead made a small group of Frum's Friends in the military industrial complex, even more wealthy at the expense of weakening America against its adversaries at every turn, especially China. Could you imagine had America spent $10 trillion on advancing their capacity to educate and innovate over the last 20 years instead of sending our young men and women to die needlessly in a desert?!?! Frum should be ashamed of his contribution to his clear contribution to the people (Cheney's?!?) dedicated to profiting off hundreds of thousands of Innocent dead Iraqis, thousands of dead American soldiers (not to mention many who killed themselves when they came home short a couple limbs + with diseases from burn pits that clearly didn't give a s*** about the veterans + most importantly of all, no help when they returned from fighting Bush's Illegal Wars against two countries that weren't even the ones who did it, but unfortunately Saudi Arabia were bestest friends with the Bush's?!?!! but I digress....). Let alone the massive loss of treasury, credibility on the world stage which sacrificed security for decades, investment in America's future and on and on........  Mr Frum you will be HATED FOR GENERATIONS & I'M SURE YOU'RE CHILDREN ARE ASHAMED OF YOU, AS A CANADIAN I KNOW I CERTAINLY AM. Trump clearly is terrible, but what Bush's people have done is so vastly worse & are directly responsible for the conditions for Trump's Presidency. So much so that it shocks me to the core when I hear them spew anything about democracy or lying and more importantly, the fact that they are now aligned with the DNC is extremely concerning to say the least. You sir have no honor or integrity whatsoever, you will never be able to wash the blood from your hands or the shame you've brought to your family or our country.

  5877. The neoliberal "middle" of both the center Left and Right that has destroyed the middle class through trade deals that favor Corps over workers, corruption of government that protects the billionaires and of course foreign wars that destroy the economy while wasting resources that are needed at home is precisely why people chose populist authoritarian government. It's this neoliberal consensus of both corporate sides Left/Right that has popularized the Far-right and is responsible for this slide because of the failed policies that reward the ultra wealthy at the expense of everyone else. When workers are told you can't have socialist policies that helps EVERYONE but you can have the far right because it's still in service to the billionaires guess what they are going to choose........ The people tried to choose Bernie Sanders & Corbyn twice, but the DNC & Labour and the billionaire donors who owns the party apparatus & media, rigged the process because neither men would serve corporate interests first, so the next most popular thing on that list of anti-establishment choice of ange against the corrupt establishment was Trump/Johnson. Now the DNC doesn't even have primaries as the people can't be trusted to put the establishment's interests first and wonder why people are either filled with resentment or complete apathy!?!?! Today, there's hundreds of Americans dead from hurricane Helena, hundreds more are missing and millions are displaced with their lives destroyed: they were offered by FEMA $700 If they could prove it, to rebuild their lives. At the exact same time, hundreds of billions of dollars are being sent overseas to slaughter poor people around the world so that a very, very small group of extremely wealthy people can be slightly more wealthy. But tell me again about how it's social media or whatever...... These conversations between millionaires are so f***ing tediously stupid. The system works! "If you don't give us the ballot, expect the bayonet" The system works.

  5887. I'd say if Chomsky could pick a clip that embodies "manufacturing consent' (People have heard of it but it's free on YouTube and is probably one of the most important documentaries you'll never, ever watch LOL). This interviews is complete garbage from the DNC people paid to lie to you. If you are a Liberal, a soft introduction for accurate reporting, I'd start with Brianna Joy Gray's "Bad Faith Podcast' (She was Bernie Sanders communications director originally but they've fallen out over his support of Biden's neoliberal agenda) BJG has a little bit of everything, but always a genuine, thoughtful discussion of many different issues that are extremely difficult that never tells you what to think. Chris Hedges (* just absolutely f**** brilliant, sorry I just can't help myself. Even my favourites on this list are a bit repetitive but every time I see any Chris Hedges interview, it's always informative in new way on the same subject. Seriously.) Hedges was originally from the New York Times but was fired for accurately reporting on the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan. He's gone on to report from every war-torn country in the world and continues to be one of the most considerate, thoughtful people in the entire world. The man actually speaks Arabic for f*** sake.  And yes of course Glenn Greenwald & before your Liberal mind groans, bare in mind that if he wasn't reviled by corporate media for reporting on many uncomfortable truths (especially for calling out corporate media!!!!), he has a journalistic trophy case that would place him literally in the top 5 of all time and still be competitive for #1. Arguably breaking some of the most important stories of our age, yes a multitude of EXTREMELY important journalism. Yeah, I know he sometimes plays footsies with the right-wing discourse but STILL does his journalistic due diligence in reviewing their particular concerns such as the total b***** that was Russia gate, the LIE that was the Hunter Biden laptop and other things that have been generally dismissed by the mainstream media but are actually true despite the seer campaigns.  However sympathetic, it's never inaccurate but definitely friendly and @ times arguably glosses over certain facts to keep his Libertarian audience engaged. Still, he does call out Trump & Israel regularly which isn't financially a great choice but I think it's important that he does so, because it's the only way to get any information that is remotely accurate to those people and hopefully helps de-program them eventually . Yes, he plays a bit of a spoiler role in terms of letting them think a little worse of Democrats as he clearly despises the DNC for its totally disingenuous commitment to the working class. But let's be honest, the Democrats havent done much for anyone except for the billionaires that donate to their parties, so not a lot of tears lost there! ((*Before you send me that tedious list of legislative accomplishments so tirelessly trotted out when anyone complains about Biden, keep in mind I've made a very long and also tediously extensive list of all the things he promised on the campaign trail to beat Bernie Sanders, The things he obviously didn't want to do like student debt relief but was forced to but then promptly rescinded the moment he could or half delivered.  The reality is the DNC does the least amount possible for everyone else while rewarding the donor class and has done so for last 40 years on purpose which is why they are tied with an almost 80 year old TV gameshow host convicted of multiple felonies along with sexual assault conviction and an attempted coup against the country he's running to lead, not mentioning multiple bankruptcies, fraud charges as well as working for McDonald's?!?!?!? Imagine what an abject failure you have to be to be tied to THIS shit show?!?!?!?!?  I get that people say the DNC'S still better than Republicans but every time you explain that to me, please understand that you're telling me that Mussolini was better than Hitler. Yeah, I agree, so?!? The system works  Vote for the Green Party. Voting to actively support genocide is not only wrong, immoral and against what ANY religion preaches. It tells the billionaires who actually run the DNC that genocide is a winning proposition. (If anyone can send me any religious texts that says god wants you to support the lesser of two evils?!?!?  I'll be very impressed! And will send them A gift certificate for a $100 at any Boeing, Raytheon and or your local military industrial complex community supplier.)

  5913. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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). 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 P.S. Marianne has even less of a chance than Dr. West, Bernie knows that better than anyone and so should you Kyle.

  5921. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate. I mean, after they tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder children & drag America into a middle East regional war for the fifth time!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donors that finally turned on Biden to anoint her candidacy, she will have to pick Shapiro who's absolutely perfect. He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports a complete and total genocide in Gaza, but more importantly shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of this mass slaughter of Palestinian children!!! But that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensure that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's commitment to Wall Street by making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! The system works.

  5937. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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 do people 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 sweep 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.

  5942. GZ is arguably one of, if not the most important independent research journalists working today. I mean, the fact that you guys called out the bogus Israeli systemic rape allegations of oct 7th was incredibly impressive as you knew the entire weight of the establishment would come down upon you. You goddamn know every person you've ever been involved with, every receipt you've ever made, tax form and every fart in an elevator that you've ever let slip out is being scrutinized under a microscope to discredit you. Just like I say to all my favorite journalists who actually expose all of the various establishment crimes, we're used to Be extremely careful and if you do get increased Viewership $, it's incredibly important to use that money towards additional security and anything you can do to be as careful as possible as these mass murderers are not afraid to employ violence or encourage "lone wolves" to solve their problems. I just bought the low-level membership, wish I could do more but I'm super in debt and living in the most expensive city in Canada doesn't help but the work you guys are putting out is too important not to support. I'm curious what you guys think of drop site by Ryan Grimm. I know he's a DNC inside man, but I can't help but feel he's an honest arbitrator of at least basic facts and due to his ability to walk both sides of the line (establishment/ establishment center Left), he's able to get out more information to a larger audience in a more credible manner than most other journalists who are labeled immediately as Russian disinformation or the usual propaganda. In other words, do you feel he's credibly adding to real investigative journalism or just soft pedaling more DNC talking points by drawing attention to other events? I have limited dollars and so I've canceled all of my subscriptions to corporate media, so I currently subscribe to you, Bad Faith podcast, Chris hedges, Glen Greenwald (Yes he does a lot of questionable supportive stuff for Trump but I think that's necessary for him to pierce the conservative bubble with actual information and unfortunately you got to give a little bit of sugar for that medicine to go down LOL )and I was doing it for Katie Helper since she got fired from Rising, but as much as I think she's a great person, I find her a little too redundant for my taste and a little more for a normie prospective of leftist politics, which I can get from a lot of other places (*except for her interviews which are great!) like bad faith without a critique of what D list celeberties in Hollywood support the genocide in Gaza (Katie, I love you if you end up reading this!! But I can't listen to that opening you have of Biden anymore. It's killing me. And I just don't care about any of the vibes reporting on any of this. I think it's important to bridge that gap for people other than myself but I just don't find it compelling and it just doesn't add to what I deem as relevant information with my limited time and money.) No worries if nobody can get back to me on this, I would just like to know what your opinion which I value very much is a good use of my resources to support this and such a unbelievably crucial time. Once again thank you for all of your amazing work and how you 've taken one for the team!!

  5968. (This argument has to be adressed head-on, immediately!!!) 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........ 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.

  6000. 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 expexct swiftly and without remorse the same results, if not considerably worse, given the fact that they are burning hospital ridden children alive. 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 incorrect and allowing their ignorance to continue turns them into victims of a war they never signed up for. The system works and it won't stop working until everyone's dead and they own everything. Unfortunately, that's just how it is and it's time we start to address it as such. 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). Therefore, it has casualties, collateral damage and massive losses to the side that is losing which is the Left to be clear. 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 CIA aren't as respectful as the Mafia and will 110% involve friends, family, children, lying & fabricating evidence as they have no limits on ANYTHING WHATSOEVER AND ANYONE STARTING TO CHALLENGE THEM MUST BE TOLD WHAT THEY ACTUALLY FACE. The system works.

  6037. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploitation of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  6091. There's nothing in that area in Russia that is relevant to Putun. Yes, it's an embarrassment but sacrificing the lives of so many Russian and Ukrainian soldiers just to make Putin feel sad seems not only ill advised but extremely stupid. There's nothing there that would give ukrainians any sort of bargaining chip or it would have already been protected and regardless it'll obviously be stamped out shortly as there's no way to maintain supply lines. To me, it seems like they're just trying to get past the American election and to give the Democrats some wins on TV for people who are too stupid to understand the obvious truth that the ukrainians will never beat a nuclear-armed Russia with a vastly larger and well-armed Army regardless as to how many useless open fields it destroys or Russian villagers it butchers (I get that Russians have probably done the same war crimes but delivering back more of the same only helps Putin deliver the message that the Americans are coming to slaughter regular Russians and he is the only one to save them.) Let's assume that Putin is the new Hitler as the mainstream media suggests. What do you think Hitler would have done on the last day in the bunker, had he had nuclear weapons? Ukraine has a right to fight back, we should help them BUT not to the point where we damn the entire world to nuclear Armageddon. The fact is Russia isn't going away and the only peace deal that lasts is one that disappoints everyone and loses elections. I'm so sick and tired of the mainstream media's drum beat for war. I get that it's good for ratings and helps all the corporations stock prices, but it makes everyone else in the world suffer for no reason other than to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Ukraine is incapable of winning this war and using more American tax payer dollars to prolong the war for both countries young men who actually have to fight it, does nothing except to enrich the military industrial Complex of both countries, who will continue to benefit from the slaughter of all of these young men. Regardless of how many young Ukrainian men die needlessly, Putin will not turn himself over to the Americans because he's found some sense of morality. The fact is that the American political Elite keeps saying that Putin will never, under any circumstances, ever, no matter how much we invade Russia or encourage his political enemies to assassinate him, will ever use nuclear weapons is more or less a triple dog dare to use nuclear weapons?!?!   I get that Americans are fundamentally stupid and have never actually had to pay the price for their ignorance, hubris and or deeply selfish intentions that everyone who's not American expects well eventually you have to be paid but will probably result in the end of civilization.  Regardless, we are rapidly approaching that moment and more importantly, rather than Americans and American voters who support the genocidal lunatics on both sides who love all these  wars  and the donors who encourage them will SADLY not be the only ones who suffer the consequences BUT rather the entire world. The system works.

  6092. Hard to imagine the Woke crowd volunteering for the "front," In the UK, especially under Starmer! LOL With that said, it's pretty clear that Trump & his troll purposely humiliated zelensky because Ukraine doesn't want to give away half their nation's resources for literally nothing except for Trump's "word." LOL. Also, $500 billion from the states, where did you get that number George?!?! Sure. America probably gave him a couple hundred billion dollars in weapons that they all made a massive amount of kickbacks from. But Ukraine sacrificed hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight America's proxy war. And just because there's a new president doesn't mean America still isn't responsible. Pretending otherwise isn't just stupid, It's f**** dangerous because it allows every new president to pretend that all these weaker nations forced into these situations have any kind of say in the matter, which is insane obviously. Seriously, I get that Biden was the one who lied to Ukraine to fight America's/UK's proxy wars against Russia and if Zelensky was stupid enough to believe that, it's obviously his fault. HOWEVER GEORGE!?! Now that he's learned the hard way that America's "word" is meaningless, why would Zelensky sign away everything for absolutely nothing other than total capitulation to Putin, on literally everything, while Trump is in talks with Putin for aluminum & oil and other resources to undermine the trade deal that Trump literally signed himself with Canada to screw their closest allies America has ever had who helped fight in its Wars, killing hundreds if not thousands of Canadian soldiers, billions of Canadian dollars and everything that Canada does for the USA!?!? All so that Trump can screw anyone stupid enough to believe anything from America, while Trump lines his pockets?!?! Zelinski is totally f*** obviously & I also don't want to die in World War 3. But at the risk of sounding sympathetic to zielinski, I have to admit if I'm being told that I have to give away half of all my stuff & all I'm getting for it is the promise to probably lose the other half, I'd be less receptive to being screwed on international TV as well. I'd rather die on my feet, than capitulate to a petty piece of shit like Trump? I mean , if you're getting f*** no matter what you do, then I'm not sure what's the point of sucking Trump's ass on international television?!? Lastly, I hate Piers Morgan, but I have to admit the more I hear some of this weird slanted s*** George, I got to start wondering why you're such a fan of Putin & NEVER criticize him. It doesn't have to be a deranged propaganda filled tirade like most of Western media, but the fact that it's absolute crickets for ANYTHING WHATSOEVER is concerning?!? Once again, I hate all of these people, cuz they're all disingenuous pieces of s*** risking all of our lives for nothing except a few dollars more, but the sad reality is they're the hand we've been dealt and I don't understand why you think it's wise to give everything to Putin, everything to Trump, for absolutely nothing other than the promise to do it again and worse?!? My only hope is that the complete and total destruction of Ukraine as a result of trusting America and Britain to help fight their dirty proxy wars is a profound lesson to every other single nation in the world that the two most exploitative countries on Earth EVER, are not to be trusted under ANY circumstances EVER, even if you're f**** WHITE!?!?! It just doesn't matter, they will f*** you the moment it's slightly convenient & they'll demand you to not only wipe up the j*zz dripping down your leg while they do it, with not just a smile, nope, you're going to have to say "thank you," repeatedly & with the world watching. The system works.

  6114. PIERRE'S HOLLOW TALKING POINTS federally I think Mad Max is actually what Polllievere talks about but doesn't vote for. As for policies I don't think "stop the gatekeepers" is a policy as I'm sure he's not going to allow mixed social housing to be built next to his house or any of his wealthy donors either. Same with firing bank of Canada, sounds good but the corporations that back him won't accept anything that hurts their bottom line. He'll cut taxes, probably save the middle class about $800-$1000 in taxes but will cut carbon tax rebates so more like a $500 savings while giving corporations millions in tax breaks. Now when you cut revenue it drives up the deficit and destroying the CBC won't save billions in lost tax revenue so he'll have to go after government services and add "service fees" for other government services (exactly what Harper did and PP voted for). As for the Oil industry, he can't force multinational corporations to use Canadian oil as that amounts to nationalization and that's commie talk. But let's pretend that he did, Saudi oil is almost 5 times cheaper to produce a barrel of sweet crude than Canadian oil not to mention we don't have refining capacity so imagine how paying quadruple the price of "Canadian gas" would go over. Pretending he's going to build a pipeline to the east coast (that the multinational companies said wasn't financially viable) may sound good but won't actually happen either. The only thing he's said that appeals to me is how he's going to force the medical profession to accredit immigrants BUT that industry is incredibly powerful and is unlikely to give away their monopoly not to mention most Albertans won't want to see a Bangladeshi Dr. His platform is buzz words and slogans without numbers or anything that is measurable because he knows that people would actually crunch those numbers and tear him to shreds. It's easier to make promises to the base, reassure the wealthy that nothing will change and ride a wave of dissatisfaction with the Liberals to office. Sounds familiar, that's what Trudeau did with Harper.

  6122. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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). 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 P.S. Marianne has even less of a chance than Dr. West, Bernie knows that better than anyone and so should you Kyle.

  6123. COMIC BOOK MOVIES THAT ALL TAKE PLACE DURING THE ORIGINAL TIMELINES IN ORIGINAL STORY ARCS. The only reboot that makes any sense to me at ALL comic book companies but especially MCU/DCU. (* FOR THE CORPORATE WHORES WHO ARE RUINING EVERYTHING, YOU GET TO SELL NEW TOYS FOR EVERY DIFFERENT ERA?!?!?!) If they actually used the original characters, in their original timelines, with the original pace of story telling (You don't have to kill off the bad guy/hero every single f**** movie BUT if you do, they have to stay DEAD). This not only allows for them to inhabit those specific timelines, era styles, artistic directorial viewpoint, technologies unique to their time, which could widely differentiate individual characters for different time periods (like how they have the fantastic 4 in the '60s but then they could do a 70s, 80's 90's, etc, versions where Reed Richards is old, older, oldest OR Batman/Superman of the 1940's to grittier 80's versions. Each one of these "Characters" could be played by a completely different version (different actors) and be done with completely different directors, styles with different tones, FOR EVERYONE ON ALL specific story runs specific to their particular era's. You know, actually original movies, that made them great during their eras BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY!!!!! This would allow for each showrunner/director/actors to actually take creative risks + be more more respectful to the original creative content. By going back to the original eras you would also help in all the stupid stuff that has to be done in a movie to accommodate the new technologies, but it would also take down a whole bunch of the cost of those special effects. Which thing could actually mean better stories. Also, by doing original story runs (for instance, the X-Men and the evolutionary War fighting the High Evolutionary) In their original tones for that '80s era. If it flopped another movie could be done of the '70s version of the 2000s version and those different story lines that are specific to those eras, played by different actors that are older and or younger depending on the timelines. This would allow for much more interesting takes and if the movies did well they could expand upon that same era and if not they could just move on to something and wipe the slate clean As the characters are always the same no matter what era and therefore you don't have to reinvent the wheel every single f**** time. This allows for minor roles for hero team-ups, villain team-ups that don't have to destroy an entire franchise if they don't work out. You know like how comics were successful for decades before movies ruin them with the shitification of corporate thinking This would allow for original great costumes that don't seem corny A year later when the fashion is out of modern tastes or story lines that aren't ruined by modern logistics like cell phones. It also allows stories to be allegories for politically difficult stories of today that can really do interesting stuff without having to point fingers at anyone politically. The other great thing about this is all of the amazing sets + interesting things you could do as a result of not having to shoehorn in everything that's already happened within the last 5 years that they've tried to make a ka-jillion dollars off of. Under the current circumstances, they want to make sure that as a product, it's going to HAVE TO coincide with an overall storyline no matter what, which is ridiculous considering it's billions of dollars worth of movies over 10 years (captain America: Red Hulk crap-a-thon is a good example of having to tie up loose threads constantly. Getting rid of that unnecessary plotlines would be f**** huge, as being able to bring in an early '80s Wolverine who doesn't need to have anything to do with the X-Men as a stand-alone story, but then also be able to tie him in with Jubilee in the late '80s lwith potentially a totally different actors playing Wolverine as a young or older version is amazing. It also allows for someone to play a wolverine in World War II, you see where I'm going with this. The possibilities are endless and if any of these stories fail, it doesn't f*** every storyline before or after it?!?! You just cut that timeline for whatever reason. Even better, because you're now not tying yourself to every attempt at something original, the success of literally every single mega story in a row is no longer the "make and break" for a producer every single f**** time. You can actually take risks and stylistically make things extremely innovative and interesting. Like having Mobius being a full-on horror movie or same with blade + not having too be tied into a kid-friendly version of Disney that won't necessarily work for either. But once again, as I said......... If it doesn't work for whatever reason, it's not the end of the world because if every character inhabits their own style, era, set of directorial viewpoint it makes every movie an opportunity to try something different to not bore the f*** out of everyone with formulaic age s*** that doesn't HAVE TO appeal to EVERYONE. I obviously understand that none of this would ever happen as they're too stupid + if you can't force everyone to have to watch every single movie to make sure that every single movie is relevant, then how do you force people to watch s*** movies that suck and suck worse and then suck still even worse, that nobody cares about?!? LASTLY, this would allow for DEI plot lines that really would be relevant to time and place where it would feel less forced and could have real opportunities to communicate something that genuinely reflected the struggles of people and their stories. Hopefully this would have considerably less blowback than no DEI at all, rather then 12 stories in a row shoehorned DEI all at the same exact time, with very little relevancy within the actual meaning of that story..... I wouldn't care but I grew up on all this stuff and it breaks my heart to see them ruin all of my favorite stories in what feels like an on purpose attempt to make sure we have no Heroes...... The system works.

  6125. MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concern yourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............

  6140. Sadly, I don't think Jagmeet is serious about anything other than his fancy suits or Rolex watches, or maybe his mild deference to Israel but from what I can tell so far, his main concern is self-preservation and keeping in the media spotlight (*AND his very important first steps towards Canadian dental and pharmaceutical which I don't want to diminish. I would be doing his legacy a disservice if I didn't acknowledge his important contributions during this extremely difficult political time to accomplish anything) However, I also understand the political realities of the NDP being extremely underfunded and becoming exponentially less popular under Jagmeet's leadership. I hope I'm wrong but there's been some pretty heinous examples of him putting political expedience over genuine democratic social issues (If he's not socialist and or wants the NDP to be a pragmatic pro capitalist party, then I really want that to be specifically laid out?!? Maybe that's already been said, I don't follow it the way I used to, especially after how he threw a couple of his MPs under the bus over support of the UK'S Jeremy Corbyn.) For the record, Corbyn is the best thing we could possibly hope for in this country as an unapologetic pro labour politician. Sadly, he would be a perfect example of what would also happen if we elected a real democratic socialist who refused to back Israel's genocidal slaughter of innocent children or privatization of Canada's resources. They would make sure he was called an anti-semite (& pretty much every single other smear possible) and then slowly but surely destroy his government using people from within his own party who would undermine his mandate & agenda, especially with the help of our corporate media who are more ravenously pro-genocide than even the most brutal xenophobic anti-muslim groups in Canada sadly.  Still, Jagmeet would then hopefully be forced out of government and a new leader elected?!?! The sad fact is anyone who's not Jewish (or even if they are Jewish) is going to be falsely accused of anti-Semitism for anything other than slavish devotion to the execution of every last man, woman and child in Palestine. The sad reality is that any visible minority, especially any religious visual minority in Canadian federal politics will be merciously persecuted in our insanely concentrated billionaire owned media regardless of the facts but even more so if they look different than your average Canadian hoser. It's totally unfair but is a very obvious reality and needs to be addressed by any leader of the NDP who wants to lead, not just follow. Not addressing this isn't an option as avoiding it or placating this group, like Jagmeet's done is just a recipe for things getting worse. Jagmeet's obviously an extremely intelligent, sympathetic and amazing addition to the NDP team but cannot be the face of the party moving forward as the majority of Canadians whether we like to admit it or not are racist, xenophobic, a combination of either and or both, or at the very, very, very, very least, are an unconsciously biased against a group of visible minorities who are very recently in the media for having an open war with the government of India (Who are an extremely important trading partner, especially given the USA trade situation as well as massive Canadian community after the Chinese). Reality is that the overwhelming majority of politics is fought on "vibes." How the f*** else would Trudeau have ever been elected PM lol!?!?! Sad but true. This all comes back to some very important realities, do the NDP want to slowly but surely become irrelevant or worse help PP destroy Canadian industries?!? Or does the only labour representative political party in Canada want to take this opportunity not to become the UK's "Tony Blair" of Canadian politics, w/ a watered down socialist agenda that makes the NDP a "liberal light option," as the party drifts into political irrelevance?!?!? Or, much more importantly?!?! Is this the first opportunity in probably a couple of generations to inspire the youth vote & contrast an extremely huge division between a working class vision of Canada's future with all of our resources and our working people's efforts against the duopoly of the Conservatives and Liberals pro USA corporate agenda, who are literally taking corporate money from the exact same mega Canadian corporations (subsidiaries of foreign conglomerates) while rolling over for the Trump administration so that they can continue to make money from the billionaires?!?!?  F**** seriously! This may be the last chance we get and I can't help but think drawing these STARK POLITICAL CONTRASTS is THE ONLY WAY to unequivocally champion the real goals of an NDP that honestly believes what can be done for Canadians?!?! All while Singh drives around in his Maserati,  picking up his Armani suit, while making sure that it all matches his Rolexes........ I'm actually very sure this is a super unfair characterization of Singh BUT even though this may come as a shock, politics isn't fair.  We need a Bernie Sanders, unfortunately Charlie is leaving which is too bad as he's more or less our Bernie Sanders but perhaps if we begged him, he may be convinced to stay?!? Regardless, that's what we need an old school socialist who is going to make sure people understand that voting NDP is an actual choice against the Liberals/Cons, and the over 150 years of corruption they represent.  The system works, let's stop supporting it for once!

  6156. Israel attacking Iran risks an Iranian retaliation that would set the middle East oilfields on fire, this would drive up the $ world energy (think of how the Russian/Ukraine war immediately increased inflation) that would ripple through the world economy and MASSIVELY INCREASE INFLATION FOR EVERYONE!!! Regardless as to how you feel about either Israel, Palestinians or Iranians for that matter, unless you are a billionaire oil field owner in either America, Russia, Mexico, Venezuela or the African dictators that would benefit from a major spike in oil prices, you will experience the worst inflation EVER in the history of humanity as it will not just affect the middle East but the supply chain all through EU/Asia/S. America that is the lifeblood of cheap labor that runs on cheap energy pumped out of the middle East?!? Why would we want to destroy your standard of living and potentially our livelihoods so that Israel can set the region on fire, ALL so that Netanyahu can avoid corruption charges as he can't face justice while he wages war on his neighbors?!?!? Who gives a shit about anyone in the middle East?!?!? As Americans, WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT EITHER PARTY'$ COMPLETE AND TOTAL COMMITMENT TO DESTROYING OUR ECONOMY ALL IN THE SERVICE OF A SMALL COUNTRY HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD, AS HURRICANE VICTIMS LOSE THEIR HOMES? OBVIOUSLY, AMERICANS ARE FINE WITH ALL OF THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MURDERED BROWN KIDS...... HOWEVER, THE REALITY IS THAT IT'S GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE'S LIFE EVERYWHERE MISERABLE JUST TO SUPPORT THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE SO THAT BILLIONAIRES ACROSS THE WORLD CAN GET RICH ON THE OIL SPIKE, MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX & REAL ESTATE FROM DEAD PALESTINIANS?!?! W.T.F!?!? SERIOUSLY....... I'M TERRIFIED OF HOW STUPID AND GREEDY THESE PEOPLE ARE.

  6173. I don't like Brand's condescending humar, his pseudo spiritualistic made-up crap and or his libertarian, pseudo science or narcissism. HOWEVER, either there's evidence and he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law OR it should be illegal to smear a person based on anonymous accusations set to danger music. Two things can be true at the same time, Brand plays footsies with Rightwingers for clicks and is an exploitive dick AND he pissed off the elite so they potentially used disgruntled ex-girlfriends to call him out in possibly consensual (probably shitty but not necessarily illegal) relationships. Being a manipulative self serving aggressive a-hole isn't necessarily illegal and conflating that with the legal definition of sexual assault or any other specific criminal sexual offences do a MASSIVE disservice to creating a culture that explains to ALL people that it's important to immediately report ALL sex crimes (Yes, all the reasons why people report late are completely 150% legitimate, but that doesn't change the facts that it makes it much more harder to convict. Also ,during the time he's not officially accused the perpetrator can more freely continue his assaults on other people and most importantly it allows victims to think that they can get justice "one day........"(*however, unless their perpetrator is an extremely disliked figure on the conspiracy right, that all of the establishment liberal media hates. It's going to be pretty f**** unlikely to get anything done on their case. So it's probably a good idea to report the assaults immediately.) Lastly, to be clear, again . I don't blame the victims for not reporting immediately. As previously outlined here, there are many, many legitimate reasons, why victims understandably are hesitant to come forward because they understand that the police are possibly useless, probably not going to believe them, even if they do believe them, they're not going to put any resources towards it, even if they do find evidence they are even more unlikely to process that evidence properly and even if they find the evidence & process it, there's still a decent chance due to crappy juries and or even worse lawyers, the perpetrator could still go free due to a victim's past or current problems which color a jury even though it has nothing to f**** do with the assault. That's why it's extremely important to REPORT ALL CASES OF SEXUAL ASSAULT OR MISCONDUCT. REGARDLESS OF THE FACT IF YOU HAVE EVIDENCE OR NOT BUT PURELY BASED ON HOW THE SITUATION UNFOLDED . IT'S NEVER A BAD IDEA TO DISCUSS IT WITH A FRIEND OR SOMEONE YOU TRUST SO THAT YOU FEEL THE BEST YOU CAN UNDER A HORRIBLE CIRCUMSTANCE AS THERE IS LEGITIMATE REASONS TO NOT REPORT BECAUSE YOU DON'T FEEL PROTECTED AND YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO MAKE THE SITUATION EVEN WORSE. SADLY, THE FACT IS IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER AND ADDRESS THIS PRIOR TO GOING TO AND UNDERFUNDED , UNDER RESOURCED, POLICE FORCE THAT DOES NOT WANT ANOTHER UNSOLVED CRIME ON THEIR BOOKS . HOWEVER, ANYTHING SHORT OF THAT ALLOWS THE PERPETRATOR FREE-RAIN TO CONTINUE HIS CRIMES AND A DIMINISHING CHANCE THAT HE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS CRIMES AGAINST YOU. THE MORE WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CRIMES SHOULD BE FACT-BASED AND THAT REPORTING SHOULD BE CLEAR, CONSISTENT AND IMMEDIATE WILL BUILD A CULTURE THAT MAKES PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE AND LESS LIKELY TO DO THIS HORRIBLE F**** S*** based on provable facts and building a culture of young people to report immediately. Because even if you don't win that case due to a lack of evidence or bias in the system. It starts to build a body of evidence and back a pattern that cannot be denied. At that stage, the perpetrator either has to stop doing crimes which is not give you justice but at least saves other people and although it is deeply unfair, it is also extremely important to stop the cycle of violence. Also, if that person is so out of hand that they are incapable of stopping, you have put the first nail in their coffin and your braveness at reporting will diminish their reign of terror. The first report will be crucial in saving other people, especially those who might not be in a position to say anything for any number of reasons like being an extremely dangerous relationship or dangerous family members, refugees, or whatever vulnerable person out there, you just don't know the circumstances as predators seek those people out specifically. And so if you have the ability to say something, it's crucial to continue to build a culture that encourages people to says so. Just to put a fine point on it, the reason that convicting Brand in a court of public opinion is bad is that it gives people like him a soapbox to say that he is being convicted without evidence of crimes that were not reported in an official and completed manner or that the jury pool is already poisoned before he got his trial...... We need to stop giving these f**** assholes that excuse and the only way to do that is unfortunately to throw out the cases that are not based on evidence. But more importantly, start communicating to our people that it is crucial not only for themselves, their society but every one to report sexual assault and or anything that is unacceptable. This builds a body of work that will eventually help other victims and most importantly to stop future victims. If anybody has some feedback on this I would really appreciate it as I don't think I have all the answers by a long shot but I do have deep concerns about how not handling this extremely delicate situation with nuance and a long-term perspective could be dangerous for everyone involved. However, I really do think that addressing this in a meaningful way is extremely important. I think the conservative far right weirdos are going to try to continue to weaponize this and my concern is that it's only going to take a couple cases where we find out later that the ladies lied to discredit someone in a their case, which will lead to everyone, everywhere is doing the same thing, which is super bad and will take a decade to fix if it's ever even possible to put that Genie back in the bottle. Sadly, this is still extremely commonplace. It reveals that how we are dealing with it currently isn't working. My feelings are that we need to bring it even further out into the open through a culture that acknowledges that the problems are widespread much like other types of discrimination in the past. As satisfying as putting brand in prison based on hearsay and vibes might be, it would set a precedent that would push back Justice for victims for decades and that's not worth putting one obnoxious douchebag in jail.

  6209. @eddiehartsfield9012  Direct quote from Politifact. Please either acknowledge that I posted is accurate or delete it. After initially vowing to sign the Freedom of Choice Act, President Barack Obama quickly said it's not his "highest legislative priority." That was in March 2009. Since then, it has scarcely been mentioned. A version of the bill was last introduced in Congress in 2007, and no new bill has appeared since. We asked NARAL Pro-Choice America, an abortion rights group, to assess the progress on this issue. "The protection of Roe v. Wade in federal law remains a long-term priority for NARAL Pro-Choice America and the pro-choice community. Unfortunately, the composition of Congress (including the first two years of President Obama's term) did not include enough pro-choice votes to pass legislation like the Freedom of Choice Act," NARAL said in a statement. NARAL cited other efforts by Obama which the organization views as achievements in reproductive rights, such as rescinding the global gag rule and signing legislation fixing the price of birth control at safety net health centers. Still, the Freedom of Choice Act has all but disappeared. We rate this a Promise Broken. Our Sources THOMAS.gov, Library of Congress website Email interview with Ted Miller, NARAL Prochoice America, May 30, 2012 Read About Our Process The Principles of the Truth-O-Meter Angie Drobnic Holan By Angie Drobnic Holan May 4, 2009 Freedom of Choice Act is far from passage At a news conference marking his first 100 days in office, President Barack Obama answered a question about the Freedom of Choice Act, a law that affirms abortion rights. "As a candidate, you vowed that one of the very first things you wanted to do was sign the Freedom of Choice Act," the reporter said. "Do you still hope that Congress quickly sends you the Freedom of Choice Act so you can sign it?" Obama reiterated his support of abortion rights as well as his sympathy for those who oppose it. "Now, the Freedom of Choice Act is not my highest legislative priority," Obama concluded. "I believe that women should have the right to choose, but I think that the most important thing we can do to tamp down some of the anger surrounding this issue is to focus on those areas that we can agree on. And that's where I'm going to focus." Our research indicates that the Freedom of Choice Act has not been introduced in the current Congress. The bill, as introduced in previous years, is relatively brief but could have far-reaching effects. (You can read a 2007 version of the bill yourself via this link, click on "Text of legislation.") The bill says that neither local, state nor federal governments may interfere with a woman's right to "(A) to bear a child; (B) to terminate a pregnancy prior to viability; or (C) to terminate a pregnancy after viability where termination is necessary to protect the life or health of the woman." It also says that an individual "aggrieved by a violation of this section may obtain appropriate relief (including relief against a government) in a civil action." People who both favor and oppose the legislation believe it will override some state restrictions on abortion, such as parental notification laws for minors. But exactly which restrictions would be overturned is up for debate. The legislation fails to name any particular abortion regulations that it intends to override. It undoubtedly would be challenged in the courts. We asked the abortion rights group NARAL Pro-Choice America what they thought about the bill's prospects for passage in light of Obama's comments. They sent us a statement praising Obama's support for abortion rights, but they weren't too optimistic about passage for the Freedom of Choice Act. "With respect to the Freedom of Choice Act, President Obama can't move this bill on his own and, despite our prochoice gains in the last two elections, we don't have the votes in Congress necessary to pass the legislation at this point," the statement said. So to sum up: Obama said the bill isn't his highest priority, and the bill's supporters say they don't have the votes to pass it. So for now, we rate this campaign promise failure.

  6245. Obama ran on codifying Roe versus Wade as his first act in office 2008. He was elected with a super majority but decided against making it law once in office as it was politically advantageous to have the RNC's anti-abortion stance as a credible threat to women's health. Obama & the DNC used women's reproductive Rights as a threat to force people into supporting corporate Democrats, who refused to to codify Roe for crass political gains at the expense of women's lives. The DNC purposely failed women's rights to advance their political agenda as they know that voters want Bernie Sanders BUT the DNC KNOWS that by cynically allowing Republicans to overturn Roe it will FORCE people who are furious about the anti-democratic/pro billionaire tendencies of the DNC to still vote for unpopular DNC candidates WHO OBVIOUSLY DON'T REPRESENT WORKING PEOPLE'S INTERESTS in the hope that they at least protect women's basic health needs.....this time. The DNC was right unfortunately, despite being historically unpopular for their utter refusal to do the overwhelming majority of Biden's campaign promises to the Left & or their overwhelming commitment to genocide, regular people have come out for the last 3 elections to protect themselves against the DNC enabled theocratic GOP's agenda to restrict women's reproductive healthcare despite the fact that the DNC doesn't represent the views of the overwhelming majority of the working class. Sadly, we know that the DNC has purposely placed them in a position to either support the DNC's commitment to murdering Brown Muslim children or losing their reproductive healthcare rights, which was all done on purpose.  The system works People can't articulate why they f**** hate the system but this type of s*** is everywhere.

  6248. Kamala conceded because ALL of her BILLIONAIRE donors are super excited about ALL the DEREGULATION & TAX BREAKS they will soon enjoy at the expense of the working class, while the pretence of Democracy is maintained by the mainstream media who profits from maintaining the status quo on the false narrative that there's a fundamental difference between BOTH corporate parties, who clearly represent the oligarchy & not anyone who doesn't have at least 7 decimal points after their names. Obviously OUR media is there to Manufacture Consent at the expense of the working class and using identity politics as a way to accuse working people concerned about immigration of being racists if they are white and of course misogynist if they are people of color and or Communists if they don't agree with exploiting workers that have to pay the most expensive rent in recent human history!!!!! The fact that Democrats can say with this straight faced , "they represent democracy, while they spend trillions of dollars to murder citizens of Democratic countries, they use corporate money from businesses that have literally poisoned millions of Americans and have immediately dedicated Media to ignoring hurricane victims while they sent hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine for a war that everyone knows is obviously unwinnable against a nuclear-armed power, 10 times the size, without starting World War 3. This uncomfortable FACT, says everything about how absolutely corrupt they are. Even the American people aren't that stupid anymore!??!?!? The system works.

  6263. Trump tried to help the middle class "rhetorically?" Let's be honest Glenn, it's the same Republican party that loves racism, hates the poor, loves some wars (china but not Russians because they're white. Christian nationalist) but yes, they do realize that they are getting screwed by the corporations that own the Republican party. Still, 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). 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

  6266. There's nothing in that area in Russia that is relevant to Putun. Yes, it's an embarrassment but sacrificing the lives of so many Russian and Ukrainian soldiers just to make Putin feel sad seems not only ill advised but extremely stupid. There's nothing there that would give ukrainians any sort of bargaining chip or it would have already been protected and regardless it'll obviously be stamped out shortly as there's no way to maintain supply lines. To me, it seems like they're just trying to get past the American election and to give the Democrats some wins on TV for people who are too stupid to understand the obvious truth that the ukrainians will never beat a nuclear-armed Russia with a vastly larger and well-armed Army regardless as to how many useless open fields it destroys or Russian villagers it butchers (I get that Russians have probably done the same war crimes but delivering back more of the same only helps Putin deliver the message that the Americans are coming to slaughter regular Russians and he is the only one to save them.) Let's assume that Putin is the new Hitler as the mainstream media suggests. What do you think Hitler would have done on the last day in the bunker, had he had nuclear weapons? Ukraine has a right to fight back, we should help them BUT not to the point where we damn the entire world to nuclear Armageddon. The fact is Russia isn't going away and the only peace deal that lasts is one that disappoints everyone and loses elections. I'm so sick and tired of the mainstream media's drum beat for war. I get that it's good for ratings and helps all the corporations stock prices, but it makes everyone else in the world suffer for no reason other than to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Ukraine is incapable of winning this war and using more American tax payer dollars to prolong the war for both countries young men who actually have to fight it, does nothing except to enrich the military industrial Complex of both countries, who will continue to benefit from the slaughter of all of these young men. Regardless of how many young Ukrainian men die needlessly, Putin will not turn himself over to the Americans because he's found some sense of morality. The fact is that the American political Elite keeps saying that Putin will never, under any circumstances, ever, no matter how much we invade Russia or encourage his political enemies to assassinate him, will ever use nuclear weapons is more or less a triple dog dare to use nuclear weapons?!?!   I get that Americans are fundamentally stupid and have never actually had to pay the price for their ignorance, hubris and or deeply selfish intentions that everyone who's not American expects well eventually you have to be paid but will probably result in the end of civilization.  Regardless, we are rapidly approaching that moment and more importantly, rather than Americans and American voters who support the genocidal lunatics on both sides who love all these  wars  and the donors who encourage them will SADLY not be the only ones who suffer the consequences BUT rather the entire world. The system works.

  6304. The South America Columbian President's quote at the U.N. about "Palestine, being the past, present and future of South America," is correct and as I've been saying for some time, Palestinians are the canary in the fascism coal mine. Once we normalize genocide in Gaza & the climate catastrophe unfolds into a pretext for fascism to address the obvious issues that are inevitable as a result of the climate catastrophe. The genocidal war machine, once completing the example of the benefits of genocides while also serving proof that it can be done, will be exported to the next inconvenient people sitting atop the resources & or land. As the Establishment MUST consume developing nations raw resources without adding anything to their economic development as the lifeblood of neoliberalism is using those raw resources for added value profit BUT more importantly, denying those nations people the ability to not only profit from value added products rather than resource extraction that only enriches the elite of that country BUT more importantly excludes the type of Professional managerial class (PMC) that type of economic development would increase this class of people who would be the ones that could not only help further develop the economy & help train other generations of people who could further develop the nation's economy and resources. Worst of all, it is this intellectual class issue of the PMC that would be able to organize and fight back against the absolute obvious, exploitation of their Nation. Most importantly, the West has learned that they have to always exclude the PMC of any developing nations from any process, as they understand the mechanisms of exploitation which makes them extremely dangerous as they can articulate it to the masses. Eventually, genocide WILL be exported everywhere, until it MUST be brought home as ALL citizens will eventually understand that they will have received NOTHING from the constant murder of civilian communities around the world and then even racism won't be enough to satiate the blood lust, then it will be turned on anyone who doesn't cheer for the murderers and so on.......... The system works.

  6311. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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, continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza.   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. Sadly the same with Gaza).   Also, let's say we drag Biden across the line and now he doesn't have to face re-election do people 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 sweep 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.

  6318. Let's keep in mind that Biden's 2023 deposition under Robert Hur, from the DNC's DOJ, wasn't in the middle of the night, it was while he had had plenty of rest and was preparing for it for months?!? Clearly, he was totally incapable of forming coherent sentences, let alone thoughts?!? If anyone in his inner circle, the DNC, had witnessed more than a couple of these events let alone SO MANY OTHERS, then they were actively risking the lives of every single American, for their own personal benefit as Biden would be wholly unprepared to deal with any major decision at night or day, like deciding whether the country should risk being reduced to a smouldering pile of rubble in a nuclear Armageddon you know.........or not?!? How these people can defend that choice, tells you the kind of people who were running your country?!? Anything short of implementing the 25th amendment (or at the very least, a cognitive test by a neutral third party?) at that point was a complete & total abdication of duty, pure and simple by Biden and ALL of the DNC who lied to Americans for their own personal interests. The sad reality is that they're no better than the Republicans, just better liars......(Yes, the RNC are clearly EVIL BUT this type of behavior shows a complete indifference to average Americans as they are clearly more committed to the DNC than even beating Trump?!?) Clearly, we've entered the Weimar Republic 2.0 I'm so terrified that the DNC is more concerned with their own wealth & status, rather then the continued survival of the human race? Seriously, WTF?!?!?

  6328. Hard to imagine the Woke crowd volunteering for the "front," In the UK, especially under Starmer! LOL With that said, it's pretty clear that Trump & his troll purposely humiliated zelensky because Ukraine doesn't want to give away half their nation's resources for literally nothing except for Trump's "word." LOL. Also, $500 billion from the states, where did you get that number George?!?! Sure. America probably gave him a couple hundred billion dollars in weapons that they all made a massive amount of kickbacks from. But Ukraine sacrificed hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight America's proxy war. And just because there's a new president doesn't mean America still isn't responsible. Pretending otherwise isn't just stupid, It's f**** dangerous because it allows every new president to pretend that all these weaker nations forced into these situations have any kind of say in the matter, which is insane obviously. Seriously, I get that Biden was the one who lied to Ukraine to fight America's/UK's proxy wars against Russia and if Zelensky was stupid enough to believe that, it's obviously his fault. HOWEVER GEORGE!?! Now that he's learned the hard way that America's "word" is meaningless, why would Zelensky sign away everything for absolutely nothing other than total capitulation to Putin, on literally everything, while Trump is in talks with Putin for aluminum & oil and other resources to undermine the trade deal that Trump literally signed himself with Canada to screw their closest allies America has ever had who helped fight in its Wars, killing hundreds if not thousands of Canadian soldiers, billions of Canadian dollars and everything that Canada does for the USA!?!? All so that Trump can screw anyone stupid enough to believe anything from America, while Trump lines his pockets?!?! Zelinski is totally f*** obviously & I also don't want to die in World War 3. But at the risk of sounding sympathetic to zielinski, I have to admit if I'm being told that I have to give away half of all my stuff & all I'm getting for it is the promise to probably lose the other half, I'd be less receptive to being screwed on international TV as well. I'd rather die on my feet, than capitulate to a petty piece of shit like Trump? I mean , if you're getting f*** no matter what you do, then I'm not sure what's the point of sucking Trump's ass on international television?!? Lastly, I hate Piers Morgan, but I have to admit the more I hear some of this weird slanted s*** George, I got to start wondering why you're such a fan of Putin & NEVER criticize him. It doesn't have to be a deranged propaganda filled tirade like most of Western media, but the fact that it's absolute crickets for ANYTHING WHATSOEVER is concerning?!? Once again, I hate all of these people, cuz they're all disingenuous pieces of s*** risking all of our lives for nothing except a few dollars more, but the sad reality is they're the hand we've been dealt and I don't understand why you think it's wise to give everything to Putin, everything to Trump, for absolutely nothing other than the promise to do it again and worse?!? My only hope is that the complete and total destruction of Ukraine as a result of trusting America and Britain to help fight their dirty proxy wars is a profound lesson to every other single nation in the world that the two most exploitative countries on Earth EVER, are not to be trusted under ANY circumstances EVER, even if you're f**** WHITE!?!?! It just doesn't matter, they will f*** you the moment it's slightly convenient & they'll demand you to not only wipe up the j*zz dripping down your leg while they do it, with not just a smile, nope, you're going to have to say "thank you," repeatedly & with the world watching. The system works.

  6338. "Analysts say it puts a stain on the Kennedy's political Dynasty." WTF?!?! Let's be clear, I don't like Kennedy. I think he's like the rest of them, a political grifter holding his finger up to see which way the wind blows, especially the fact that he supports the Israeli slaughter of tens of thousands of women and children. However, the fact is he represented a lot of people's views and more importantly, a third party platform, which I think is the most important thing that could potentially save America as both parties want to make sure that every election is an existential choice between the evil of the other side and they couldn't use this to ensure the fact that Americans never, ever, under any circumstances what's so f**** ever have a choice other than the duopoly. Sadly, rfk Jr hasn't lived up to anything he's said in the first place and is clearly now just trying to s*** on the Democrats on the way out, which is understandable considering how completely and dishonorably they have acted in every possible way. The DNC continues to not do anything Democratic despite their namesake. Let's be honest, they f*** Bernie for two election primaries in a row and didn't even bother whatsoever this time as they knew Biden was not capable of running an election & Bernie is now also a millionaire which makes him coincidentally, a lot more agreeable. Which is exactly why the DNC had a June debate with Trump. They knew that old man Biden wouldn't listen as he's a meglomaniac and the only way they could get him to step down was to absolutely humiliate him on the world stage by not giving him his proper meds the night of, or didn't anyone else notice the fact that it was the first time he was laid out to dry?!?! Truth is been 12 years since the DNC establishment after Obama has had to listen to anyone (and if you consider Obama's terms it's actually more like 20 years of Neoliberal policies, which is exactly the way they like it) Let's be clear, Kennedy called out Joe Biden at the very beginning and said he wasn't fit to run for office. Again, RFK was mocked openly as Joe was obviously in perfect condition as confirmed by his family and staff, everyone in the DNC Establishment knew he was fine as confirmed by the highest ranking members of the DNC, everyone in the corporate media knew he was clearly fit to run for a second term in his late '80s and obviously anyone suggesting otherwise was a conservative troll, who "mocked a stutter" that wasn't present for the last 50 years. Hence, that was the reason to ostracize RFK Jr rather than listen to his concerns about the environment, unlawful restrictions on Americans movements during covid, the fact that those restrictions destroyed small businesses across the country to the benefit once again of the corporations that coincidentally, had the most to gain from these policies and donated extremely generously to the DNC. Also, the fact that Ukraine's war against Russia is completely unwinnable, as Russia is a nuclear power, not to mention the fact that losing would be an existential threat to Putin directly and anyone related to him or in his inner circle. This obviously means that they understand that their existence in every conceivable way possible is tied to this war. Let's assume. Corporate media is correct and Putin is the new Hitler, what do you think Hitler would have done with all of those nuclear bombs once forced into his bunker at the very end of his life?!?!?! Then there is the uncomfortable fact that it's definitely coming close to a million dead Young people from both sides for no f**** reason whatsoever, except for using them as cruel Pawns against Russia (The country who saved us from the Nazis. Despite what American movies tell us, it was 100% the fact that almost 30 million Russians fought and died against the Nazis and their total and complete drive towards the heart of Germany is what made most Nazis lay down their weapons and accept allied rule because they were understandably terrified of what the Russians were going to do because of all of their horrific crimes against the Russian people. Obviously, Americans are deeply, DEEPLY ignorant of this history along with so, so, so, so so so so so much more of world history, let alone their own history. That it doesn't even register how f*** up their choice to want to put nuclear weapons on Russia's border and a standing Army in Ukraine under NATO control on the Russian border, after the Americans promised for decades to not do anything like that. Then, precisely as Americans do, they did exactly what they promised not to and orchestrated a coup in Ukraine in 2014 (before you say anything about this please, for the love of God just do even the most basic research. Everyone knows that the Americans were the ones who helped overthrow the pro-russian government of Ukraine. It's why the Russians took over Crimea and why Obama didn't do anything about it. Once again the spectacular ignorance of the new American people is how this all happened. But once again I digress........ My guess is that Kennedy figures that Trump is the least likely leader to actually start world War 3 because the polls tell him that's what he should do. I think Kennedy figures that Trump doesn't actually give a s*** about what anyone thinks, which is actually probably true, however, I also think that Trump would nuke every country in Europe and sleep like a baby if he thought it would make him president for life. Damn it. I'm digressing again LOL!!! Sadly, the choice is between a megalomaniac, whose sole purpose in life is to climb the ladder, throw anyone under the bus that gets in their way, let people suffer and die just so that they can get a little further ahead and us basically a soulless husk whose only purpose is MORE.......... Sadly, our only other choice is Trump. The system works.

  6340. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploitation of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America or the UK on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with CCCP) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!?

  6385. 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.

  6432. If Bernie would have been elected President, the DNC, RNC, media & the Blob would have formed an evil Voltron, that would have destroyed him by first the usual smears, then scandal, then Law-fare and if that didn't work he would have been MLK'd by a "lone wolf." I'm sorry, the sad reality is that we shouldn't be thinking about a better politic but understanding that we are in the early days of France before the Nazis takeover & the DNC is the Weirmar Republic 2.0 who are going to be more than happy to let the Nazis Waltz in, in order to protect their wealth and privilege? So much so they'd rather be waving the same fascist flags, then ever consider the slightest reduction in the standard of wealth and or status that the DNC will gladly send whoever they need into the gas Chambers. Just look at Gaza for your evidence?!?! Therefore, the only thing that makes sense is the Panther Party (based on the organizational style Black Panthers, it doesn't matter what the name is, so long as it represents a group that is dedicated to something larger than electoral politics and actively works within communities to help poor and working class people survive The inevitable onslaught coming.) or something similar to it where money, time, resources that have been previously wasted on a system specifically designed to waste your time, energy, and resources on a party that clearly hates you towards preparing for what comes next. This is a deeply unhappy and unpopular thing to say, but it's absolutely true as the bottleneck of climate catastrophe is upon us and when it tightens this will be used as a pretext for fascism. They'll use that algorithm to see what we've posted on comments to know which people to round up first and it will be the fourth Reich of a thousand years that they've always planned. However, If we build a credible alternative for the people who are inevitably pushed out, as the pie becomes smaller and smaller, as it has to in order for neoliberalism to flourish, the numbers will get bigger towards us as those people will have no other choice. When a critical mass occurrs there will come a time when it will be decided not by the ballot box but by something much more visceral as it's requires the masses as any major change in society will require a group IDEALOGICAL commitment by those same masses. Unfortunately, if they can end your movement by just shooting your leader then you don't have an actual movement because THEY will. Just like MLK, Malcolm x, JFK, RFK, MILK and SOOO many progressives from around the world, however, if it's a system of ideas where we are all leaders than it can't be simply decapitated. "Only sheep need a Leader" NoMeansNo (it's a punk rock band) System works.

  6440. The lesser of two evils doesn't work when genocide is actually occurring. Sadly, Kamala & the DNC are actively supporting the mass murder of 10's if not 100's of thousands of innocent Palestinian people not to mention the 100% innocent people of the West Bank who've been mercilessly slaughtered (over a 120 children since Oct 7th) to the tune of almost 700 people who've got ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with Hamas or anything related to terrorists whatso F***ING EVER!!!!!! Let alone the obvious fact that the Israelis are starving everyone in Gaza to death as the U.N. has said absolutely nothing has meaningfly gone in since before August?!? Listen, I get that Palestinians are poor, brown and Muslim, so human rights clearly don't apply to them. Unfortunately, the problem with an actual genocide is that it NEVER EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES STOPS with the people who we don't give a $#!+ about as they are ALWAYS the people who are sacrificed to see if the world is OK with GENOCIDE?!?!? If one group of people are inconvenient and it makes economic sense to murder them for $ rather than anything else, guess how capitalism will solve the problem with the market?!?? Don't kid yourself, if billionaires use the final solution for Palestinians, they will eventually export it to the next people who we don't care about and eventually as we all have less resources.......... they very well might choose your home country and or more importantly, eventually this type of inhuman indifference will be brought home eventually, to let everyone know that you may be next......... The system works.

  6502. 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). The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way. HOWEVER, if the fire is stoked purposely by the actual Left, it would tell the Corporate Democrats that breaking almost every promise has consequences or if we are really lucky, public awareness that the duopoly will not only not save us!!!! BUT IS ACTIVELY WORKING AGAINST ALL WORKER'S INTERESTS (Even if you make $100,000 a year) and force regular people to understand that after the Palestinians/LEBANESE, it WILL EVENTUALLY BE the country their families are from next. Not to mention the fact, that they're also in the same boiling pot of climate change & that the next climate catastrophe is going to be the pretext for ushering in boots on the ground fascism or disaster in their region that will ALSO have to be ignored in order to PRIORITIZE the ongoing slaughter of the middle East's Muslim people to satiate the blood lust and regional hegemonic intentions of Israel's elite, it's co-conspirators in the American security establishment and of course the ultra wealthy Israeli lobby groups that are more concerned about regional domination than its own people that are ignored along with thier families, THE HOSTAGES!?!?! The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote third party, knowing full well that it will more than likely elect Donald Trump and that you are proud of it because it's better than voting for Kamala's kinder, gentler genocide. 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 as it expands across the region. 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 are 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 f***ing genocide is concerned!?! Kamala is an empty vessel to be filled with the military industrial complex's murderous interests for not only Gaza BUT obviously the broader region & the next place they intend to invade once they've executed every last Muslim man, woman and child. (Sadly, I originally wrote this previous to the Lebanese mass murder campaign of Netanyahu BUT iT WAS COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE AS THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT HAS TOLD US THIS WAS F***ING PLAN.) 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 & will continue to act accordingly. I'm not saying that the Trump presidency is good in any way and will NOT ONLY be a tragic loss of life but will also threaten everything we hold dear as people who care about our ENTIRE community not just our demographic ❤️. What I'm saying is that once we accept genocide as the lesser of two evils, we are no longer human beings but animals who are willing to do anything to survive and I would rather die as a human being defending the dignity of all people, rather than as a Savage animal, killing everything instinctively in its path as an excuse to ignore the humanity of others. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Vote Green 💚

  6516. There's nothing in that area in Russia that is relevant to Putun. Yes, it's an embarrassment but sacrificing the lives of so many Russian and Ukrainian soldiers just to make Putin feel sad seems not only ill advised but extremely stupid. There's nothing there that would give ukrainians any sort of bargaining chip or it would have already been protected and regardless it'll obviously be stamped out shortly as there's no way to maintain supply lines. To me, it seems like they're just trying to get past the American election and to give the Democrats some wins on TV for people who are too stupid to understand the obvious truth that the ukrainians will never beat a nuclear-armed Russia with a vastly larger and well-armed Army regardless as to how many useless open fields it destroys or Russian villagers it butchers (I get that Russians have probably done the same war crimes but delivering back more of the same only helps Putin deliver the message that the Americans are coming to slaughter regular Russians and he is the only one to save them.) Let's assume that Putin is the new Hitler as the mainstream media suggests. What do you think Hitler would have done on the last day in the bunker, had he had nuclear weapons? Ukraine has a right to fight back, we should help them BUT not to the point where we damn the entire world to nuclear Armageddon. The fact is Russia isn't going away and the only peace deal that lasts is one that disappoints everyone and loses elections. I'm so sick and tired of the mainstream media's drum beat for war. I get that it's good for ratings and helps all the corporations stock prices, but it makes everyone else in the world suffer for no reason other than to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Ukraine is incapable of winning this war and using more American tax payer dollars to prolong the war for both countries young men who actually have to fight it, does nothing except to enrich the military industrial Complex of both countries, who will continue to benefit from the slaughter of all of these young men. Regardless of how many young Ukrainian men die needlessly, Putin will not turn himself over to the Americans because he's found some sense of morality. The fact is that the American political Elite keeps saying that Putin will never, under any circumstances, ever, no matter how much we invade Russia or encourage his political enemies to assassinate him, will ever use nuclear weapons is more or less a triple dog dare to use nuclear weapons?!?!   I get that Americans are fundamentally stupid and have never actually had to pay the price for their ignorance, hubris and or deeply selfish intentions that everyone who's not American expects well eventually you have to be paid but will probably result in the end of civilization.  Regardless, we are rapidly approaching that moment and more importantly, rather than Americans and American voters who support the genocidal lunatics on both sides who love all these  wars  and the donors who encourage them will SADLY not be the only ones who suffer the consequences BUT rather the entire world. The system works.

  6599. (This argument has to be adressed head-on, immediately!!!) 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........ 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 a genocide. 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.

  6614. ​ @drexeldragon1723 that's simply not accurate, clearly you've never watched her podcast. She just doesn't believe things will get better under the duopoly and kicks both left and right when they deserve it and gets informed guests to discuss it further. Maybe you don't think Chris Hedges is Left enough but he works for me. Besides (this my standard rant just so you know where I and I think Bri is coming from.) 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, 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 (Panther Party is for lack of a better term that has historical context for a parallel political government). The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, trade agreements that are worker centric, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources of the PP 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 PP (Panther Party)for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors (by direct means or omission) we will use our resources to make their 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, the inevitable climate wars are coming. Unless we start organizing now and use our time, $ and souls in pursuit of an organization that is going to support us when the System collapses we will find ourselves without the ability to survive to fight back. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Panther Party

  6633. WALKING IS HUGE! I tell people about how important this is in the management of diabetes, but it also has so many other benefits. I've went from 240lbs and a 15.7 ac1 to 160lbs and a 6.9 ac1 (I was able to get it down to a 5.9 but unfortunately I got divorced, Covid made my business lose a quarter million dollars and then my wife left me so the stress was unbearable and my diet suffered as a result but I'm trying again). It's really hard to explain it without sounding like a lunatic LOL! While doing my research it always came up and it seems so obvious but nothing has contributed more to my recovery than this except for not eating sugar. When I did the research it all came back that our bodies are designed to walk to the desert or the Savannah 12 hours a day everyday as our ancestors did. I was fine while I was working a super physical job but I got a desk job and 5 years later I got diabetes after putting on a bunch of weight. Now, try to walk after every single meal even if it's just 5-10 minutes. This gets your metabolism up while also lowering blood sugar overall + I'll do a very long walk at the end of the day which helps me sleep as well as keeps my blood sugar down for the evening so that I don't have as much a spike in the morning. Lastly, This isn't spoken about much for some reason but stress is a major contributor to your blood sugar going up or also remaining high regardless of The food you are eating. Walking is a major way to bring down your stress hormones as it's a gentle form of meditation/exercise, I personally try to either listen to music, podcasts but only for subjects that are positive like history or a comedy podcast, whatever just not anything stressful.  Totally brings me down 30% of what my post meal blood sugar high after every walk of 45min. LASTLY! Berberine (type of vitamin B) before each meal has really been a game changer. Look it up as It's not for everybody, but if it doesn't mess with your other medication then it's super helpful and should be further explored.  Hope that helps as I know what a struggle this is for everyone. Especially when things get hard, because it's one thing to know what you're supposed to eat and quite another to have to eat it every single f**** day, for the rest of your life LOL!!!

  6640. ​ @daves1420 have you ever noticed that PP's solutions are always the ones where Canadian taxpayers reward the industries that specifically donate to PP's campaign to the tune of multimillions, as well as also seems to specifically benefit his particular base of power in the populations that support him specifically? He also seems to be just fine with throwing dairy management + a lot of the priorities of the East coast industries under the bus as they don't generally tend support conservatives (Also just for the record, I like Canadian dairy, milk, eggs, look it up as we get a higher quality product for a better price as I don't want a bunch of chemical hormone garbage that Americans flood our market with). Don't get me wrong, obviously oil and gas is extremely important. But let's keep in mind that it's still less than 10% of GDP and the other 90% of the country is still relevant in terms of business and jobs. My concern with PP is that he and Danielle Smith have made it abundantly clear that they will prioritize their people first at the expense of everyone else and considering the fact that NAFTA was originally negotiated under a conservative government that's screwed Canadian businesses & workers doesn't't exactly inspire confidence that he's not going to be willing to throw most Canadians under the bus to protect himself and his donors again? Liberals are terrible BUT at least they have boats everywhere in the country, even some in Alberta + is there for less likely to capitulate when it's convenient like conservative done in every other trade agreement.

  6652. Yeah BUT white people need a little bit of leeway, as white people have been unfairly disadvantaged as a result of the coincidence that slavery robbed black people of investment capital for close to 3 centuries while they bought properties. These laws that continued (to this day with more clever racist laws that understand the need to hide their racist agenda unlike the original founders) further exploit them for any kind of monetary investments, racist real estate policies like red lining until our parents generations, policies that exploit defunding predominantly black neighborhoods of education which ultimately keeps American taxpayer funding from investing in predominantly black communities, a justice system that overwhelmingly exploits and over prosecutes black Americans which ultimately reduces their ability to raise traditional families or build familia wealth, a family justice system that overwhelmingly prosecutes and separates black families rather than investing in them which continues to reduce black orphans from being able to build meaningful lives, let alone the fact that the overwhelming majority of those kids are products of a racist justice system that made crack instead of powder cocaine a way to over prosecute black defendants and keep them in jail for a few rocks for decades and on and on and on and on, etc. Let's just be honest, white people never, under any circumstances, ever expected to actually have to be held accountable based on our record of success or failure as we've NEVER been expected to before. Black people need to be empathetic to our plight!?!?! White people h😢ve never been held accountable for anything, ever, especially based on the actual facts and or merit of what they themselves DID during the time they were in power or even when they pretended to share it. This means that we are holy unprepared to be able to answer for anything that we've done, let alone be able to account for let alone address in ANY meaningful way?!? Let's be reasonable, we need at least 20-40 years of white reparations to address catching up for being responsible for the choices we've made, let alone the choices we've needed to blame on everyone else!?!!!?! The reality is if we are all now coming to a place where people actually have to accomplish things and not only address our well documented failures in the past but try and do something better within well documented context of addressing the people who are clearly wronged in the first place, it's going to take a very long time to make sure that it's done fairly and especially where white people are concerned, as they have never under any circumstances had to deal with being responsible for their actions and our holy and prepared for the reality of those clearly historically documented choices. I mean, black people in America, of all people should appreciate how difficult it is to address these historical inequities when nobody has wanted to admit any of them so I think it's important to make sure that white people are the first ones to get a little bit of leeway when it comes to addressing all of these problems moving forward!?! More importantly, white people are actually owed reparations because we've never considered the possibility that America would expect any kind of racial parity or even reasonable expectation's of fairness as it has never been done for over 200 years, let alone even the last 20 years?!?!?! This obviously means that white people have been totally, unreasonably been expected to do something decent when we've never, ever, had to do it before or even had to consider it?!? Which is pretty outrageous if you honestly think about it? If we can just start with a 10 trillion / fund to make white people (just billionaires obviously, the poor whites never count unless they are voting for billionaires or chanting with tiki torches!!!), this would at least protect the billionaires from an unreasonable expectations of white Americans to keep their homes or jobs and can place the blame squarely on the people who can't even afford eggs, ensuring that class solidarity between races NEVER happens which is clearly an outcome that the Establishment can NEVER accept under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!! Gawd bless 'murica!!!!!

  6719. Lol, yeah good luck with using Trump fact checks to somehow save this from the obvious disaster that it was. Dementia Joe, who he will obviously now be called because genocide Joe doesn't make sense, as he's clearly not in charge & says everything about the Democrat party. The white house is obviously run by a bunch of goddamn donors and the people who control Washington and not that dodering old man who can't goddamn string two f**** sentences together. Clearly, Biden will not be running for president as he should be sent to an old-timers home as anyone with any goddamn eyes or ears can understand. The real question, is the obvious fact that they would rather Trump win then to do anything for the American people because any sort of primary would have brought in a Bernie Sanders which the DNC despises because they wouldn't agree with genocide or billionaires paying their fair share of taxes and universal healthcare for Americans like any other normal first world country. Obviously, we're all going to die as a result of the dnc's complete and total capitulation to the donor class, the Israelis and The military industrial complex. I can't describe how angry I am, wait. I think I just did.......... How the f*** can they justify this completely horrific s**show that's coming down the pipe?!?! You people suck, the mainstream media sucks and worst of all Joe Biden sucks so bad that he makes Trump look reasonable. F** you & the billionaires who run America. I guess we understand now why Biden is Netanyahu 's B****.

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.

  6724. Is this interviewer ignorant on purpose to illustrate the point of other normal people who have a gross misunderstanding of American and world history? Or does he just not have a clue? The reason I ask is I think we're at the point in this entire situation that Chris is describing as the end of American society requires that we stop pretending that all the obvious s*** has already gone down and that this is it we're there and and framing all of our conversations through the lens of people too. Stupid to understand. The obvious is frustrating for me. I have this problem with Brianna joy gray as well, I love her and I think she's a special person but I can't help but think that we're wasting precious time, convincing stupid people that they should stop being stupid and I think it's useless. Useless. I think it's more important that we bring into people who are actually already with us and focus attention towards goals rather than bringing the soft left which will crumble at the first pushback as the squad, Canadian NDP, the labor party in England, same with Australia and on and on and on. They will not help and even if they wanted to their answers. Waiting another 40 years for demographics to save us which is idiotic considering the fact that we will be facing environmental collapse within the next 10 to 20 years, if not sooner. When that environmental collapse happens, it will be the pretext for fascism in its full form, which in our future will be dictated by AI and an algorithm that read everything You've ever written and decides who should be rounded up and disposed of. F*** I'm terrified. The system works.

  6731. 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 expexct swiftly and without remorse the same results, if not considerably worse, given the fact that they are burning hospital ridden children alive. 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 incorrect and allowing their ignorance to continue turns them into victims of a war they never signed up for. The system works and it won't stop working until everyone's dead and they own everything. Unfortunately, that's just how it is and it's time we start to address it as such. 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). Therefore, it has casualties, collateral damage and massive losses to the side that is losing which is the Left to be clear. 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 CIA aren't as respectful as the Mafia and will 110% involve friends, family, children, lying & fabricating evidence as they have no limits on ANYTHING WHATSOEVER AND ANYONE STARTING TO CHALLENGE THEM MUST BE TOLD WHAT THEY ACTUALLY FACE. The system works.

  6758. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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, continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza. 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. Sadly the same with Gaza). Also, let's say we drag Biden across the line and now he doesn't have to face re-election do people 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 sweep 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.

  6762. I'm hoping that Dune 3 has EVEN MORE romantically longing stare contests between Paul & his concubine & less of the importance of the Space Guilds relevance for the entire plot, especially if they emphasize the forced romance of a living god's side-girl over the rest of anything concerning the entire universe's reliance on the Guild, and it's direct political tension between all of the houses, Emporer and the importance of the spice?!?!  That tension of the political drama & the entire universe hinging on the triangular power balance of these three strategic groups (God king, guild & houses) seems almost totally irrelevant when compared to infatuation. Especially when the two young actors are super hot & stare at each other, like a lot, but like you know, longingly....... Removal of the Guild entirely, even though they are the linchpin of the plot with spice, space travel, their relevance to the Emperor & the Houses just seems pretty irrelevant in comparison to the romance between a living God & his Bae!!!!! Looking forward to more crucial characters being completely sidelined in order to service Hollywood's desire to replace storylines for vacuous star worship!?! The 80's version using the Toto sound track wasn't great but despite the studio's best attempts to ruin it, the movie was at least a sci-fi political thriller, not just another way to yet again showcase Hollywood's two most popular actors.  Sadly , the corporations & the inevitable shitification of everything for money prevails! I hope they get a particularly painful version of cancer for ruining my favorite sci-fi novel. At least the first movie in this particular series was decent & why I think I was SOOOO disappointed in the second installment BUT it's all going to get worse from here as plot is obviously irrelevant when competing against American cheese (a product that isn't actually cheese, which is why they have to call it "American cheese" as it's just chemicals, fat and salt.) The system works.

  6786. Rule of law, LOL! Obama assassinated an American citizen who was accused of terrorism and then his teenage son was also murdered as well without charge against the kid or even evidence. When an American President can murder citizens without due process, than the constitution has already been thrown away with impunity. The duopoly only complains when it's the other side BUT that's just to give cover for the obvious fact that there's 2 sets of rules, 1. The Establishment is above the Law unless they are polically inconvenient & they don't have political skeletons to threaten the Establishment with, think B. Menendez who only did ol' fashioned BUT he did it the incorrect way by taking payments upfront instead of the proper way like The Clintons getting paid millions in speaking fees for taking care of interest groups. Then there's Gov. Cuomo who colluded with insurance companies to change safety laws in oldage homes so that elderly patients could all be shoved in together if they got Covid saving them millions at the cost of seniors who died alone for Cuomo's greed. He was politically inconvenient BUT unfortunately he has too many DNC skeletons as his family is a political dynasty, therefore a resignation for unrelated crimes considerably more egregious than Bob's, that served as a distraction of what could be credibly argued to be mass murder if it could be proved they fully understood the obvious results of placing elderly patients together with Covid. That's why its laughable to believe that the current SCOTUS is anything other than a continuation of business as usual. In fact, at least it rips away the veneer of legitimacy from corrupt court used to protect corrupt politicians. The system works.

  6801. Multi millionaires arguing on behalf of billionaires is less persuasive than they 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.

  6812. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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.

  6814. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America or Britain on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  6825. Yes but smearing Jill Stein is the total purpose of the segment. Here's my argument below. I'm curious as to what you think? Thanks  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........   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........ 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 that unfortunately genocide is the WORST and that 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 even if it's a little bit slower. The DNC MUST LOSE and it needs to be demonstratively because of Gaza. They also need to know that they will lose next time because of Gaza, then they need to understand that they will be in the political wilderness forever because the actual left will not be complicit in the murder of innocent men, women and children. Anything short of that is a recipe for the continued slaughter of people all over the world based on the idea of the "lesser of two evils."    The system works. Let's stop supporting it.

  6827. 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). The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way. HOWEVER, if the fire is stoked purposely by the actual Left, it would tell the Corporate Democrats that breaking almost every promise has consequences or if we are really lucky, public awareness that the duopoly will not only not save us!!!! BUT IS ACTIVELY WORKING AGAINST ALL WORKER'S INTERESTS (Even if you make $100,000 a year) and force regular people to understand that after the Palestinians/LEBANESE, it WILL EVENTUALLY BE the country their families are from next. Not to mention the fact, that they're also in the same boiling pot of climate change & that the next climate catastrophe is going to be the pretext for ushering in boots on the ground fascism or disaster in their region that will ALSO have to be ignored in order to PRIORITIZE the ongoing slaughter of the middle East's Muslim people to satiate the blood lust and regional hegemonic intentions of Israel's elite, it's co-conspirators in the American security establishment and of course the ultra wealthy Israeli lobby groups that are more concerned about regional domination than its own people that are ignored along with thier families, THE HOSTAGES!?!?! The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote third party, knowing full well that it will more than likely elect Donald Trump and that you are proud of it because it's better than voting for Kamala's kinder, gentler genocide. 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 as it expands across the region. 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 are 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 f***ing genocide is concerned!?! Kamala is an empty vessel to be filled with the military industrial complex's murderous interests for not only Gaza BUT obviously the broader region & the next place they intend to invade once they've executed every last Muslim man, woman and child. (Sadly, I originally wrote this previous to the Lebanese mass murder campaign of Netanyahu BUT iT WAS COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE AS THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT HAS TOLD US THIS WAS F***ING PLAN.) 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 & will continue to act accordingly. I'm not saying that the Trump presidency is good in any way and will NOT ONLY be a tragic loss of life but will also threaten everything we hold dear as people who care about our ENTIRE community not just our demographic ❤️. What I'm saying is that once we accept genocide as the lesser of two evils, we are no longer human beings but animals who are willing to do anything to survive and I would rather die as a human being defending the dignity of all people, rather than as a Savage animal, killing everything instinctively in its path as an excuse to ignore the humanity of others. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Vote Green 💚

  6830. Let's always remember people like Medhi were more than comfortable to ingratiate himself with corporate media by throwing people who were actually brave enough to stand up against the Israeli propaganda way under the bus, people like Jeremy Corbyn. That's why he still supports the Democratic party despite its overwhelming support of genocide, or his overwhelming support of the Labour party in Britain who also supports the genocide in Gaza. Medhi supports both of those governments whole heartedly. He does that because he wants to be on the side of money and influence in the establishment. He's a sellout and is exactly as Norm Finkelstein describes him......... MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concernedyourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............ Clearly, Medhi is a great attack dog and I'm glad that he is setting his sights on the people who are perpetrating these atrocities, however, The reality is that anyone who can so casually blow in the direction of the corporate wind, can't genuinely be trusted and is ultimately dangerous as they can never, ever, under any circumstances to be trusted not to do it again once defending the truth becomes inconvenient or expensive.  Until I see Medhi actually sacrifice anything to help anyone other than himself, I will never trust him again.

  6831. Let's always remember people like Medhi were more than comfortable to ingratiate himself with corporate media by throwing people who were actually brave enough to stand up against the Israeli propaganda way under the bus, people like Jeremy Corbyn. That's why he still supports the Democratic party despite its overwhelming support of genocide, or his overwhelming support of the Labour party in Britain who also supports the genocide in Gaza. Medhi supports both of those governments whole heartedly. He does that because he wants to be on the side of money and influence in the establishment. He's a sellout and is exactly as Norm Finkelstein describes him......... MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concernedyourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!

  6833. I'm hoping that Dune 3 has EVEN MORE romantically longing stare contests between Paul & his concubine & less of the importance of the Space Guilds relevance for the entire plot, especially if they emphasize the forced romance of a living god's side-girl over the rest of anything concerning the entire universe's reliance on the Guild, and it's direct political tension between all of the houses, Emporer and the importance of the spice?!?!  That tension of the political drama & the entire universe hinging on the triangular power balance of these three strategic groups (God king, guild & houses) seems almost totally irrelevant when compared to infatuation. Especially when the two young actors are super hot & stare at each other, like a lot, but like you know, longingly....... Removal of the Guild entirely, even though they are the linchpin of the plot with spice, space travel, their relevance to the Emperor & the Houses just seems pretty irrelevant in comparison to the romance between a living God & his Bae!!!!! Looking forward to more crucial characters being completely sidelined in order to service Hollywood's desire to replace storylines for vacuous star worship!?! The 80's version using the Toto sound track wasn't great but despite the studio's best attempts to ruin it, the movie was at least a sci-fi political thriller, not just another way to yet again showcase Hollywood's two most popular actors.  Sadly , the corporations & the inevitable shitification of everything for money prevails! I hope they get a particularly painful version of cancer for ruining my favorite sci-fi novel. At least the first movie in this particular series was decent & why I think I was SOOOO disappointed in the second installment BUT it's all going to get worse from here as plot is obviously irrelevant when competing against American cheese (a product that isn't actually cheese, which is why they have to call it "American cheese" as it's just chemicals, fat and salt.) The system works.

  6869. VOTE 3RD PARTY!!!! The reality is that the duopoly is going to win regardless BUT if a massive voter turnout for 3rd parties occurs it could possibly get 5% for official federal government support and more importantly start to break the back of corporate domination of both parties. Besides, 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). 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. Dr Cornell West for President (or any 3rd party, just so long as you're not supporting the duopoly). .

  6873. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after they beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to CIA under Dulles who led the mission) colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporations interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & will sacrifice everyone to their Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger

  6887. Israel attacking Iran risks an Iranian retaliation that would set the middle East oilfields on fire, this would drive up the oil $ world energy (think of how the Russian/Ukraine war immediately increased inflation) that would ripple through the world economy and MASSIVELY INCREASE INFLATION FOR EVERYONE!!! Regardless as to how you feel about either Israel, Palestinians or Iranians for that matter, unless you are a billionaire oil field owner in either America, Russia, Mexico, Venezuela or the African dictators that would benefit from a major spike in oil prices, you will experience the worst inflation EVER in the history of humanity as it will not just affect the middle East but the supply chain all through EU/Asia/S. America that is the lifeblood of cheap labor that runs on cheap energy pumped out of the middle East?!? Why would we want to destroy your standard of living and potentially our livelihoods so that Israel can set the region on fire, ALL so that Netanyahu can avoid corruption charges as he can't face justice while he wages war on his neighbors?!?!? Who gives a shit about anyone in the middle East?!?!? As Americans, WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT EITHER PARTY'$ COMPLETE AND TOTAL COMMITMENT TO DESTROYING OUR ECONOMY ALL IN THE SERVICE OF A SMALL COUNTRY HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD, AS HURRICANE VICTIMS LOSE THEIR HOMES? OBVIOUSLY, AMERICANS ARE FINE WITH ALL OF THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MURDERED BROWN KIDS......  HOWEVER, THE REALITY IS THAT IT'S GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE'S LIFE EVERYWHERE MISERABLE JUST TO SUPPORT THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE SO THAT BILLIONAIRES ACROSS THE WORLD CAN GET RICH ON THE OIL SPIKE, MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX & REAL ESTATE FROM DEAD PALESTINIANS?!?! W.T.F!?!? SERIOUSLY....... I'M TERRIFIED OF HOW STUPID AND GREEDY THESE PEOPLE ARE.

  6901. 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........ 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 a genocide. 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.

  6934. Obama ran on codifying Roe versus Wade as his first act in office 2008. He was elected with a super majority but decided against making it law once in office as it was politically advantageous to have the RNC's anti-abortion stance as a credible threat to women's health. Obama & the DNC used women's reproductive Rights as a threat to force people into supporting corporate Democrats, who refused to to codify Roe for crass political gains at the expense of women's lives. The DNC purposely failed women's rights to advance their political agenda as they know that voters want Bernie Sanders BUT the DNC KNOWS that by cynically allowing Republicans to overturn Roe it will FORCE people who are furious about the anti-democratic/pro billionaire tendencies of the DNC to still vote for unpopular DNC candidates WHO OBVIOUSLY DON'T REPRESENT WORKING PEOPLE'S INTERESTS in the hope that they at least protect women's basic health needs.....this time. The DNC was right unfortunately, despite being historically unpopular for their utter refusal to do the overwhelming majority of Biden's campaign promises to the Left & or their overwhelming commitment to genocide, regular people have come out for the last 3 elections to protect themselves against the DNC enabled theocratic GOP's agenda to restrict women's reproductive healthcare despite the fact that the DNC doesn't represent the views of the overwhelming majority of the working class. Sadly, we know that the DNC has purposely placed them in a position to either support the DNC's commitment to murdering Brown Muslim children or losing their reproductive healthcare rights, which was all done on purpose.  The system works People can't articulate why they f**** hate the system but this type of s*** is everywhere.

  6966. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploitation of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with CCCP) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term.

  7023. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate. I mean, after they tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder children & drag America into a middle East regional war for the fifth time!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donors that finally turned on Biden to anoint her candidacy, she will have to pick Shapiro who's absolutely perfect. He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports a complete and total genocide in Gaza, but more importantly shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of this mass slaughter of Palestinian children!!! But that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensures that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's commitment to Wall Street by making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! The system works.

  7047. Phew! I was really worried that all those Palestinian children that the DNC helped murder would have been an issue?!? Luckily, Kamala can pretend to not support the genocide until after the election, just like Obama pretended he didn't support Wall Street! Just lie about helping the working class and then reward the banks after its too late! Finally the establishment has agreed Harris will do what she's told, just like Obama. I mean if you're children are going to be massacred, its SO IMPORTANT that they are buried under rubble by the FIRST BLACK WOMAN president!!!!! I'm sure all the Palestinian parents scraping up what remains of their children into plastic bags will feel like progress has been made. The system works! P.S. If you're interested in someone who's still concerned about the ongoing genocide in Gaza and isn't distracted/placated by the usual identity politics that somehow justifies the ongoing slaughter of innocent children. Then I suggest you go check out the "Bad Faith" podcast with Brianna Gray Joy. Her last guest is the leader of vote non committed movement in the DNC primaries, what their plan is now that they've switched to Kamala and how they're going to respond to the old switcheroo which ultimately offers more of the same. I have to be a 110% honest, Kamala Harris has zero ideological commitments to ANYTHING other than her own self-interest (2019 has her as left of Bernie, four short years later and she's prosecutor again.). As horrible as Biden is, there is no way on God's green f**** Earth that Kamala would have withstood the pressure coming from the military industrial complex, to withdraw from Afghanistan, let alone stand up to the most powerful lobby groups on Earth, Israels. We need to start addressing these facts now as it's not going to be enough to say we didn't know this was going to happen. We've seen this playbook before, Obama did the exact same f**** thing. He promised hope and change and then delivered trillions of taxpayer dollars to bailout the people who destroyed the economy while delivering eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black Americans, which is why a black president was appreciated to deliver the message. Just like how Margaret Thatcher was a Kinder gentler version of how to destroy unions and communities with a woman's touch. I find this f**** disgusting and the fact that Sam isn't even mentioning anything of it tells you exactly what side is bread is f**** buttered on. I get it, Trump is obviously a monster too. But at least he says he's a f**** monster and isn't the one saying one thing while literally providing 2, 000lbs bombs to murder God damn children, I want to repeat that for f*** sake. Kamala and the DNC have been supporting the deaths of tens of thousands of children. Innocent children, while the Congress stands an open ovation for the man who has bragged about murdering children. F*** you

I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concern yourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............

After "the people" tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder Palestinian children, drag America into middle East regional wars or implement free trade agreements that prioritize corporations over American workers. Clearly, the Democratic process doesn't work because average people would choose Bernie Sanders, Medicare for All, electoral reforms like getting money out of politics , police reform, Free trade agreements that represent workers over corporations and on and on and on. Luckily, by getting rid of all of the democratic processes that would allow people to exercise free will in a Democratic society, they have implemented a donor run Kleptocracy which allows the billionaires who run the DNC to continue to make decisions for everyone in America despite their clear and overwhelming objections!!!!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donor class that finally turned on Biden (obviously because he was so senile, he actually thought he was in charge rather than the donors lol?!?!?) Kamala obviously understands that in order to be anointed, she will have to pick Shapiro (or someone similar) who's absolutely perfect! He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports the complete and total genocide in Gaza, but mosy importantly of all, shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of the mass slaughter of Palestinians! But WAIT, that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensures that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery & the taxpayers. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's legacy by his commitment to Wall Street in making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! If you want to Go kite surfing with multi-billionaires after your time in office, you got to learn how to play ball;) The system works. No

  7070. "Left Washing" is unfortunately real. Using the "center left opinion" (Liberals) to sell Corporate talking points of blaming the working class as racists despite people of color also going to Trump, OR the actual Left, like Bernie for demanding that billionaires pay their fair share of taxes & not support using Ukrainians as canon fodder as both parties knows that the ukrainians will never be able to beat a massively larger Russia that is nuclear armed while approaching a million dead soldiers, let alone the millions that are injured and or the entire infrastructure in cities decimated for generations, the full-throated support of Netanyahu's murderous rampage against not only Gaza, Westbank, Lebanon, Syria & Iran, Let alone the war both parties want with China which would be insane for all the very obvious reasons!?!?(NONE OF THEM EVER MENTIONED THE INSANE INFLATION FROM ISRAEL SETTING THE REGION ON FIRE ONCE, IT WOULD TOTALLY DESTABILIZE THE ENTIRE WORLD ECONOMY DRIVING THE WEST'S ENEMIES EVEN CLOSER TOGETHER AND DESTROYING WHAT'S LEFT OF THE DOLLAR. AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO WONDER IF THEY'RE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE FOR F*** SAKE!?!?! The "center Left" (like J Carville, morning Joe & their ilk) get paid to say that they support the DNC establishment's militarism, support of Billionaires, while blaming workers for not wanting to compete against a refugee who is escaping a country that America destroyed & sanctioned & flee to THAT place as they're not dropping 2000 lbs bombs there. American workers aren't racist, they're desperate and the rent's too F**** high!?!? The DNC did this on purpose to keep wages low for their billionaire donors and to force competition between these two groups that would divide them, which was a huge issue that depressed not only the Muslim vote, black, brown, women and youth. However, the billionaires that pay the consultants & corporate "opinions" would not appreciate that "truth bomb," so that part of the analysis is conveniently left off the table The system works

  7079. Assange was the canary in the coal mine. 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 expexct swiftly and without remorse the same results, if not considerably worse, given the fact that they are burning hospital ridden children alive. 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 incorrect and allowing their ignorance to continue turns them into victims of a war they never signed up for. The system works and it won't stop working until everyone's dead and they own everything. Unfortunately, that's just how it is and it's time we start to address it as such. 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). Therefore, it has casualties, collateral damage and massive losses to the side that is losing which is the Left to be clear. 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 CIA aren't as respectful as the Mafia and will 110% involve friends, family, children, lying & fabricating evidence as they have no limits on ANYTHING WHATSOEVER AND ANYONE STARTING TO CHALLENGE THEM MUST BE TOLD WHAT THEY ACTUALLY FACE. The system works.

  7107. Well, I definitely say it looks like America, morally and legally as it was founded on slavery + a genocide. However... THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (Panther Party) 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, continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza.   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. Sadly the same with Gaza).   Also, let's say we drag Biden across the line and now he doesn't have to face re-election do people 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 sweep 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.

  7109. The Democrat's sole purpose is to take energy and resources from the Left. Period.

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 (for lack of a better term that has historical context). 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

  7132. Obama ran on codifying Roe versus Wade as his first act in office 2008. He was elected with a super majority but decided against making it law once in office as it was politically advantageous to have the RNC's anti-abortion stance as a credible threat to women's health. Obama & the DNC used women's reproductive Rights as a threat to force people into supporting corporate Democrats, who refused to to codify Roe for crass political gains at the expense of women's lives. The DNC purposely failed women's rights to advance their political agenda as they know that voters want Bernie Sanders BUT the DNC KNOWS that by cynically allowing Republicans to overturn Roe it will FORCE people who are furious about the anti-democratic/pro billionaire tendencies of the DNC to still vote for unpopular DNC candidates WHO OBVIOUSLY DON'T REPRESENT WORKING PEOPLE'S INTERESTS in the hope that they at least protect women's basic health needs.....this time. The DNC was right unfortunately, despite being historically unpopular for their utter refusal to do the overwhelming majority of Biden's campaign promises to the Left & or their overwhelming commitment to genocide, regular people have come out for the last 3 elections to protect themselves against the DNC enabled theocratic GOP's agenda to restrict women's reproductive healthcare despite the fact that the DNC doesn't represent the views of the overwhelming majority of the working class. Sadly, we know that the DNC has purposely placed them in a position to either support the DNC's commitment to murdering Brown Muslim children or losing their reproductive healthcare rights, which was all done on purpose.  The system works People can't articulate why they f**** hate the system but this type of s*** is everywhere.

  7160. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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).

The system works P.S. Marianne has even less of a chance than Dr. West, Bernie knows that better than anyone and so should you Kyle.

  7244. If you don't want the "vote blue no matter who" argument once again from M.R, I'd suggest that you watch Bad Faith podcast with Brianna Joy Grey as she doesn't make money from that donor base and has actually paid a real price for supporting Palestinians unlike M.R. who ALWAYS carries the DNC'S blood filled water. Just like how M.R. defended the squad's capitulation on force the vote on the $15 min wage or anything else that progressives actually want and always WILL because that's how they make money. M.R. might feel that a kinder, gentler genocide under Harris is preferred to Trump as Kamala might delay 2000lb bombs for a couple weeks BUT I personally believe that if the Democrats don't lose and specifically because of Gaza, they will learn that the mass slaughter of innocent children is completely meaningless and that they should keep doing that. How Sam and Emma sleep at night knowing that they are actively complicit in these crimes is truly sad in every possible way. P.S. just so we're clear, Palestinians are the canary in the coal mine. Once the Establishment understands that wiping out people off the Earth because they are poor, Brown, speak in a funny way and are of a foreign religion is acceptable to slaughter. It is only a matter of time before they get to the place that your family is originally from. Once all those people are gone, eventually it will come home as this type of fascist ideology always does because without an enemy, complete and total control is unjustified.  The system works.

  7248. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after they beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to CIA under Dulles who led the mission) colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporations interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & will sacrifice everyone to their Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger

  7267. Yes but smearing Jill Stein is the total purpose of the segment. Here's my argument below. I'm curious as to what you think? Thanks  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........   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........ 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 that unfortunately genocide is the WORST and that 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 even if it's a little bit slower. The DNC MUST LOSE and it needs to be demonstratively because of Gaza. They also need to know that they will lose next time because of Gaza, then they need to understand that they will be in the political wilderness forever because the actual left will not be complicit in the murder of innocent men, women and children. Anything short of that is a recipe for the continued slaughter of people all over the world based on the idea of the "lesser of two evils."    The system works. Let's stop supporting it.

  7276. I'm so glad that all of the corporate media and Western governments have accepted the framing that a ceasefire that stops the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of women and children is entirely too much to ask to bring peace to the middle East so that the literal hundreds of billions of dollars being spent to starve and or murder children could be spent dealing with the myriad of problems at home!?!!!  It's hard to describe how evil the MSM and Elite  are?!?!? I get that when people are poor, brown and Muslim, It's easy to see them as less than human, but when you decide to be explicitly brutal with no humanity whatsoever and spend your own money on the Merciless killings of others rather than helping your own children is so f*** up?!?!?!?! The west has committed to executing women and children over ensuring healthcare, getting lead out of drinking water, actual supplies for students in schools and or meals for them, roads, educating the public so that it can compete in the global market, protecting Americans from the inevitable blowback room. Climate change in terms of infrastructure and on and on and on.........  Instead, all of this money going to be spent murdering children in a desert over 5,000 miles away so that Netanyahu can avoid jail just a little bit longer at the literal expense of the entire world. WT absolute F is going on?!?!?!? P.S. I honestly can't shake the feeling that Jeffrey Epstein was working specifically for the Mossad so that they could blackmail an entire generation of the political Elite to support a genocidol policy that serves nobody's interests, not even Israel as murdering an entire population means you will never, ever under any circumstances be safe unless you actually complete a genocide and ESPECIALLY THEN!?!?! THE WORLDWIDE BLOWBACK TOWARDS ISRAEL WOULD REVERBERATE FOR CENTURIES. Once again, what the absolute f*** is going on?!?!?!

  7302. Vote 3rd party. KAMALA WILL SUPPORT NEOLIBERALISM, THE M.I.COMPLEX INSTEAD OF WORKERS & THE MURDER OF TEN'S OF 1000's OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN, The Democrat's sole purpose is to take energy and resources from the Left and working class people. Period. They made that clear with what they did to Bernie Sanders in both 2016 & 2020. They would rather Trump than real progress because ultimately the goal is to reward the donor class & consolidate power into the elites, not help regular people. With that as a guide (let's stop pretending that the DNC hasn't been failing on purpose for the last 40ish years, every time they do the Rich get richer and that's a coincidence i suppose), the logical conclusion to our future is eventual climate collapse & or WW3, which will be the pretext for actual fascism (covid really felt like a soft launch). When that happens and we don't have a movement, (Panther Party or Greens but my concern with the greens is that they will sacrifice themselves on the altar of electoralism that bares no fruit & won't be strident when required) 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 and systematically finds all of their petty crimes to either discredit them & or more likely incarceration/assassination). A Case for a 2nd Trump presidency. Therefore, I'm starting to think a second Trump presidency might be in everyone's best interest? If Harris is re-elected 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, purposely making student debt relief fail in a corporate SCOTUS, kids still in cages, refugees dying at the border as well as continuing Trump's "wall', failure on climate, failure on a public healthcare option, the most approvals of oil & gas permits, support to break the backs of unions that actually affect the American economy (despite what Krystal ball says, the fact that they broke the rail workers strike with legislation tells you what the DNC will really do when push comes to shove on unions) continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza and on and on and on, etc........... However, if Trump is re-elected everyone will remember that children are still dying in detention, health insurance is out of control, 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. Sadly, the same with Gaza. Even Trump understands that genocide draws too large of a spotlight to grift in the darkness). Also, once we push Harris across the line and she tastes POWER, do people honestly believe she'll go against the donors and deliver anything for the working class!?!? Another thing is the fact that if Harris serves 4 years, it will almost certainly ensure a GOP sweep of all 3 branches 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 sweep after 4 more years of Neoliberal policies under Harris. The reality is that we can boil the climate/fascist 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 to the Left 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...... Clearly the system is not "working" for us. It's set up for the elites on both sides, so let's stop supporting it! Vote for any 3rd party and throw some sand in the Vaseline. Sure, sure it's going to hurt......... BUT It's going to hurt either way, at least it hurts them as well!!! The system works. Let's stop supporting it, vote 3rd party. Doesn't matter who, just NOT THEM!!!

  7314. NAFTA, Carney, Poilievre & the Neoliberal hellscape they've planned for us...... I care for neither men, as they prioritize their donors, not Canadian workers. My issue is that they are more similar, than either side would care to admit! They're two sides of the same corrupt corporate coin that prioritizes the Ultra wealthy over Canadian workers.  The sad reality is that ALL of them are cheerleaders for NAFTA and similar "free" trade agreements that have shipped out around a million Canadian Jobs in exchange for cheap crap, just so that they can take a cushy corporate board seat later once they've sold us out! Conservative's foreign affairs minister John Baird, left Harper's cabinet to work for a Chinese billionaire, demanded Canada apologize to the Saudi Prince & a literal goldmine no less with Newt F'ing Gingrich LOL?!?!? I mean, it's cartoonishly outlandish corruption & would be hilarious if it wasn't true BUT sadly, Liberals aren't much better. Liberals just have enough common sense to pretend they have any shame whatsoever. As a result, people can't afford homes anymore, there's zero job security, no pensions, deteriorating Healthcare access, crumbling infrastructure, scarce educational resources, etc, as our politicians climb over eachother promising to not tax Corporations, demand any worker rights & or anything for taxpayers! All the infrastructure and any of the risks for spills are taken care of by the taxpayers, while all of the private profits are exported out of the country to tax-free havens by the over 2/3's foreign owned oil industry?!?! As our Politician's sell us out (strategically vote to ensure nobody gets a majority government !!!!) behind closed doors, to ensure themselves those same cushy corporate board seats, we all contrinue to argue about which side of that same corrupt coin is the least corrupt?!? Instead of asking why after 150 years of these two parties, things only get worse? Hmmmmmm...... Obviously, this ensures that our children will become serfs in their own country & we will have no other options except to serve our corporate Masters, lest the computer that's listening to our conversations, rat us out to the patriotism police for thought crime....... Please trust me when I say I don't like either of these men. They certainly don't represent my interests and I sincerely doubt they represent yours. If you genuinely believe in what PP is saying, vote for mad Max, if you want what Carney is pretending, vote NDP and for the love of God, vote strategically in your writing to ensure that neither of these assholes get a majority so they can bargain away our rights behind closed doors.  The system works

  7315. 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.

  7383. Robby should stop complaining about affirmative action as I swear The Hill hired him because he's mentally challenged!?! During all this super important news shouldn't they have a real journalist rather than a Libertarian who's only contribution to the conversation is "government bad." I'd prefer an actual conservative as they at least represent a significant portion of the population. Libertarianism is a child's philosophy. I like Shermichael, he is genuine even if I don't agree with him unlike Robby who is as useless as nipples on men. At least a conservative can articulate a point of view, you could just replace Robby with a cardboard cutout of him with a speech bubble that says "no government. *Unless I directly benefit." I feel bad for Robby, he's clearly out of his depth and Bri is the most intelligent millennial commentator of her generation. It must be so difficult to debate Bri when you're only retort is, "government bad, defund everything except if I personally benefit, i don't have anywhere near the education or experience as Bri, so Israel is OK regardless of how many Palestinian children are murdered because I was hired to say as much."   Robby, being a Libertarian makes sense when you are homeschooled, white and an upper class male BUT it wholly unprepares you to debate someone with real political experience.    Bri was a communications director for the most important 3rd party candidate in a couple centuries, has a law degree from Harvard on her own dime no less, her family has served the American people for generations and knows what life is like when it isn't handed to you.     Robby's only option is to repeat irrelevant Libertarian talking points, feign ignorance when it comes to obvious facts (The IDF'S well documented decades of crimes against humanity historically and currently) and get louder to hopefully distract from the unfortunate fact that he is WAAAYYY out of his class with BJG.  Saddest part is that being humiliated daily by Briahna on Rising will be the high point of his career once people understand that he has nothing to add to the conversation. Don't get me wrong, I actually believe Robby is probably a pleasant person, despite his obviously selfish under pinnings (Libertarianism is basically every man for himself which isn't possible in a society) but sadly he doesn't even articulate a decent conservative argument because he isn't a conservative. During these trying times we need well informed commentators, not mamma's boys with no life experience or information to back up a conservative view point. Sorry Robby, you DO seem to be honest, genuine (except for the IDF) and committed BUT unfortunately that doesn't make you intelligent. DO ALL SIDES A FAVOR AND RESIGN TO LET A REAL CONSERVATIVE TAKE YOUR PLACE.

  7386. Israel attacking Iran risks an Iranian retaliation that would set the middle East oilfields on fire, this would drive up the oil $ world energy (think of how the Russian/Ukraine war immediately increased inflation) that would ripple through the world economy and MASSIVELY INCREASE INFLATION FOR EVERYONE!!! Regardless as to how you feel about either Israel, Palestinians or Iranians for that matter, unless you are a billionaire oil field owner in either America, Russia, Mexico, Venezuela or the African dictators that would benefit from a major spike in oil prices, you will experience the worst inflation EVER in the history of humanity as it will not just affect the middle East but the supply chain all through EU/Asia/S. America that is the lifeblood of cheap labor that runs on cheap energy pumped out of the middle East?!? Why would we want to destroy your standard of living and potentially our livelihoods so that Israel can set the region on fire, ALL so that Netanyahu can avoid corruption charges as he can't face justice while he wages war on his neighbors?!?!? Who gives a shit about anyone in the middle East?!?!? As Americans, WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT EITHER PARTY'$ COMPLETE AND TOTAL COMMITMENT TO DESTROYING OUR ECONOMY ALL IN THE SERVICE OF A SMALL COUNTRY HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD, AS HURRICANE VICTIMS LOSE THEIR HOMES? OBVIOUSLY, AMERICANS ARE FINE WITH ALL OF THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MURDERED BROWN KIDS......  HOWEVER, THE REALITY IS THAT IT'S GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE'S LIFE EVERYWHERE MISERABLE JUST TO SUPPORT THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE SO THAT BILLIONAIRES ACROSS THE WORLD CAN GET RICH ON THE OIL SPIKE, MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX & REAL ESTATE FROM DEAD PALESTINIANS?!?! W.T.F!?!? SERIOUSLY....... I'M TERRIFIED OF HOW STUPID AND GREEDY THESE PEOPLE ARE.

  7456. MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concern yourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............

  7469. Frum arguably contributed to the worst administration in American history, as their lies on the Iraq war contributed directly to the loss of around 10 trillion over the last 25 years & literally hundreds of thousands of lives. Had these Bush W charlatans not been allowed to use a GOP controlled SCOTUS in 2000 to literally steal an election, then competent people would have stopped the 9/11 attacks, therefore all that money wouldn't have been wasted or veterans lives or limbs lost. Then there wouldn't have been any 2008 crash but even if there had been, the American treasury would have been able to bail out not only the banks but also enough to help Americans to keep their homes. Then there wouldn't have been 20 years of wage stagnation that culminated in so much outrage towards the Establishment that the American people wouldn't have elected a deranged game show host to send a gigantic middle finger to the people who 've ruined their lives and their children live's for generations. Also, The bush doctrine of expanding NATO to the Russian border forcing Putin to react, seeing as the last two invading forces of Napoleon and Hitler used the exact same route. The people who keep saying that putting nuclear weapons on the border where 70 years ago the Russian people lost almost 30 million people isn't a big deal is utterly ridiculous. Now, as a result of Frum's & associates ideological insanity, Americans haven't invested in 20 years of infrastructure, education for its youth or the ability to pay down debt and or invest in its future but instead made a small group of Frum's Friends in the military industrial complex, even more wealthy at the expense of weakening America against its adversaries at every turn, especially China. Could you imagine had America spent $10 trillion on advancing their capacity to educate and innovate over the last 20 years instead of sending our young men and women to die needlessly in a desert?!?! Frum should be ashamed of his contribution to his clear contribution to the people (Cheney's?!?) dedicated to profiting off hundreds of thousands of Innocent dead Iraqis, thousands of dead American soldiers (not to mention many who killed themselves when they came home short a couple limbs + with diseases from burn pits that clearly didn't give a s*** about the veterans + most importantly of all, no help when they returned from fighting Bush's Illegal Wars against two countries that weren't even the ones who did it, but unfortunately Saudi Arabia were bestest friends with the Bush's?!?!! but I digress....). Let alone the massive loss of treasury, credibility on the world stage which sacrificed security for decades, investment in America's future and on and on........  Mr Frum you will be HATED FOR GENERATIONS & I'M SURE YOU'RE CHILDREN ARE ASHAMED OF YOU, AS A CANADIAN I KNOW I CERTAINLY AM. Trump clearly is terrible, but what Bush's people have done is so vastly worse & are directly responsible for the conditions for Trump's Presidency. So much so that it shocks me to the core when I hear them spew anything about democracy or lying and more importantly, the fact that they are now aligned with the DNC is extremely concerning to say the least. You sir have no honor or integrity whatsoever, you will never be able to wash the blood from your hands or the shame you've brought to your family or our country. By

  7500. Vote 3rd party 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, 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 (Panther Party is for lack of a better term that has historical context for a parallel political government). The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, trade agreements that are worker centric, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources of the PP 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 PP (Panther Party)for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors (by direct means or omission) we will use our resources to make their 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, the inevitable climate wars are coming. Unless we start organizing now and use our time, $ and souls in pursuit of an organization that is going to support us when the System collapses we will find ourselves without the ability to survive to fight back. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Panther Party

  7514. Let's all remember that CTV is owned by billionaires and that they hate the liberal/NDP coalition government and have supported the conservatives and their tax breaks for billionaires in almost every single election. I'm no fan of the Liberals, but let's be honest, the conservatives are going to give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy (mainstream media), service cuts to everyone else, slightly less mass immigration (look up the numbers, the Cons are almost exactly the same on immigration) and of course petty cruelty to anyone who needs help like veterans, the disabled or anyone else who can't help the conservatives get more power and money. If you don't believe me, look up their record or I can send it to you if you want. I understand hating Trudeau, he's a bumbling imbecile but sadly Pierre is something much more dangerous. Pierre is actually very smart and he knows how to manipulate people into voting against their own interests. Don't get me wrong, I get that people are going to do that anyways because they are grossly ignorant of the facts of Pierre's voting record in the 9 years of the Harper government & it's relentless support of corporations and the ultra wealthy. But eventually those choices will come home to roost and people will remember why they kicked out Harper and almost 10 years of debt-ridden government broken promises. Sadly, it'll be after Pierre sells off a bunch of important Canadian infrastructure/land just like Harper did on his last year in government to the highest bidder in order to pretend that he balanced the budget (could you imagine selling your house and then having to rent it from the new owners while telling your family that the balance sheet looks good as your money goes to the landlord every month?!?!).  The conservatives ran out the back door with bags of money (Cons foreign minister Baird literally left government & worked for a Chinese billionaire and a f##$ing Gold mine. It's f**** cartoonish?!?!). Clearly, Pierre is one of the greatest snake oil salesman of our time, even more depressing is that the Canadian people will have to pick up the tab as always on the back of working Canadians. P.s. had Trudeau actually ended first-past-the-post system (FPTP) which he campaigned on and then didn't bring in proportional representation because it allowed Liberals to rule unopposed is why we are going to have a majority conservative government (last time it was 34% of the electorate that voted for conservatives but won a majority )even though the overwhelming majority of Canadians actually don't support that. I understand how much we all f**** hate Trudeau, he is a selfish, entitled horrible piece of s*** that has doomed Canada for the next generation because of his selfishness to conservative corporate rule. F*** Trudeau I hope he gets rectal cancer. The system works.

  7544. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America (enforced by RNC & DNC's blackmail of NATO nations) on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  7589. MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concern yourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?! Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............ Clearly, Medhi is a great attack dog and I'm glad that he is setting his sights on the people who are perpetrating these atrocities, however, The reality is that anyone who can so casually blow in the direction of the corporate wind, can't genuinely be trusted and is ultimately dangerous as they can never, ever, under any circumstances to be trusted not to do it again once defending the truth becomes inconvenient or expensive. Until I see Medhi actually sacrifice anything to help anyone other than himself, I will never trust him again.

  7594. There's nothing in that area in Russia that is relevant to Putun. Yes, it's an embarrassment but sacrificing the lives of so many Russian and Ukrainian soldiers just to make Putin feel sad seems not only ill advised but extremely stupid. There's nothing there that would give ukrainians any sort of bargaining chip or it would have already been protected and regardless it'll obviously be stamped out shortly as there's no way to maintain supply lines. To me, it seems like they're just trying to get past the American election and to give the Democrats some wins on TV for people who are too stupid to understand the obvious truth that the ukrainians will never beat a nuclear-armed Russia with a vastly larger and well-armed Army regardless as to how many useless open fields it destroys or Russian villagers it butchers (I get that Russians have probably done the same war crimes but delivering back more of the same only helps Putin deliver the message that the Americans are coming to slaughter regular Russians and he is the only one to save them.) Let's assume that Putin is the new Hitler as the mainstream media suggests. What do you think Hitler would have done on the last day in the bunker, had he had nuclear weapons? Ukraine has a right to fight back, we should help them BUT not to the point where we damn the entire world to nuclear Armageddon. The fact is Russia isn't going away and the only peace deal that lasts is one that disappoints everyone and loses elections. I'm so sick and tired of the mainstream media's drum beat for war. I get that it's good for ratings and helps all the corporations stock prices, but it makes everyone else in the world suffer for no reason other than to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Ukraine is incapable of winning this war and using more American tax payer dollars to prolong the war for both countries young men who actually have to fight it, does nothing except to enrich the military industrial Complex of both countries, who will continue to benefit from the slaughter of all of these young men. Regardless of how many young Ukrainian men die needlessly, Putin will not turn himself over to the Americans because he's found some sense of morality. The fact is that the American political Elite keeps saying that Putin will never, under any circumstances, ever, no matter how much we invade Russia or encourage his political enemies to assassinate him, will ever use nuclear weapons is more or less a triple dog dare to use nuclear weapons?!?!   I get that Americans are fundamentally stupid and have never actually had to pay the price for their ignorance, hubris and or deeply selfish intentions that everyone who's not American expects well eventually you have to be paid but will probably result in the end of civilization.  Regardless, we are rapidly approaching that moment and more importantly, rather than Americans and American voters who support the genocidal lunatics on both sides who love all these  wars  and the donors who encourage them will SADLY not be the only ones who suffer the consequences BUT rather the entire world. The system works.

  7608. Ugh!!!! Kyle, you are so f**** deluded it's goddamn f**** painful. My only hope is that instead of a complete and total DNC corporate shill, you're just exceptionally naive and not too bright(I mean you do have frosted tips so........) The reality is that the DNC doesn't want any that supports the working class, at all, under any circumstances..... whatsoever. They represent the billionaire donor class ONLY, so the one thing they can give you is identity politics. This is obvious because they don't have anything in their platform despite knowing that it's overwhelmingly popular to support working people. However, Kamala will be the first black woman president!!! Obviously, this will comfort the parents of the tens of thousands of murdered Palestinian women and children. Oh, wait! At least they're also going to use all of American taxpayers money to flood Eastern Europe with American weapons in an effort to ensure a Ukrainian far right Nazi victory on top of the hundreds hundreds of thousands of dead Russians and ukrainians to keep a small parcel of Russian speaking Ukraine, under the thumb of NATO so that that we can ensure that the two most nuclear trigger happy countries on Earth with world-ending technology directly next to each other's border!! The best part of that plan is that by ensuring there is no time to discuss anything before a world-ending nuclear Holocaust, we'll just have to go all in to ensure that not a single f**** thing survives in this world, including plants, animals. *Except for cockroaches That's it. That's all you are going to get Kyle and the fact that you're going to sit there and say "vote blue no matter who" while pretending that the DNC isn't carrying out a daily genocide says that you're either a monster or a f**** moron. Which is it? I don't know about you but I'm agnostic. This means I neither confirmed nor deny the existence of a deity, which is pretty common knowledge for everyone. I honestly think everyone is at some stage in their life as how could you not question everything at some point ? Therefore, you have to ask "did I support genocide because it ensured many clicks and support of the masses, which in turn made me a multi-millionaire because I know doing anything that exposed the truth of kamales support of genocide will destroy your DNC hookups. I might have forgiven this if somebody was just at the beginning of their career and was two paychecks away from living in a cardboard box. However, Kyle and Crystal are multi, multi millionaires and if they just admitted the obvious truth, that Kamala is a soulless husk who will f*** everyone for a nickel the moment she gets into office just like Obama did I'd still think that they were serving corporate political hacks, but that they were at least honest self-serving corporate political hacks. The system works.

  7636. 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.

  7644. ​ @reguisthesjw7796  i've heard it being mentioned as a side note now multiple times and as a long time fan and donor i'd like facts, not innduendo. if they've sold out, i want to know when and who, as i'll be speaking up loudly in response and stopping any & all financial support (i've been putting my money towards Journalists clearly taking massive risks and or doing original journalism instead. Such as electronic intifada, Grey Zone, Chris Hedges, Glenn Green Wald, Bad Faith podcast (for original deep dives which are great but I have to admit BGJ's occational rehashing of "is the DNC being disingenous?!?" is becoming a little predictable and tedious (seriously I LOVE HER!!!!! i just can't stand the idea that after well over 100 thousand's murdered palestinians and or any of the other obvious DNC duplicity, there's any questions as to what the DNC supports the EVIL EMPIRE??!!? It's clearly genocide and a hard line needs to be drawn as to anything that allows them to dodge accountability. Anything less, is doing not only a disservice to actual LEFTIST americans looking for current info BUT worse, adding to the fog of war that allows there to be any kind of confusion about the DNC's roll in this genocide. JUST TO BE CLEAR, I DON'T THINK BGJ HAS ANY ILL INTENTIONS WHATSOEVER!!!! (i can't emphasize enough how much i love her and her commitement to a belief in people despite how much flack she's endured!!!) HOWEVER, IN HER BID TO BE A FAIR JOURNALIST & Person, I FEEL SHE'S BEEN TOO HONOURABLE IN TERMS OF GIVING THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT TO PEOPLE, THAT HAVE PROVEN TO BE BAD FAITH ACTORS FOR PERSONAL BENEFIT SUCH AS Michael Eric Dyson, Krystal Ball, Kyle K. Majority Report, Cenk and that whole platform and just that whole soft centrist LEFT (*also SABBY, KIM IVERSONE AND JIMMY DORE WHO PLAY footsie with the Har Right for the same profit motive BUT STILL sometimes produce genuine quality reporting that's very imporant. I just can't help but shake the feeling they do that just to keep enough credibility to keep those LEFT PUNCHING dollars rolling in!!!) that inevitably draws resources form the actual LEFT because THEY allow people to believe that there's going to be an EASY MIDDLE approach which allows them to avoid the reality that this fight is not only going to be horribly difficult & extremely DANGEROUS in the near future but also unlikely to work in our lifetime. Sorry but anything short of that message puts people in a very dangerous position as we enter the beginning of REAL fascism. Sorry BJG, it's not just you but you are the person i respect the most!!!!!) , honourable mentions to Katie Helper but her show is more for normies trying to get basic information than informed people looking to move forward should already know!

  7647. (This argument has to be adressed head-on, immediately!!!) 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........ 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.

  7654. I spent time during Ramadan (It's when Muslims fast, which is basically when they don't ingest anything during daylight. Feast at night which are pretty cool, the food was amazing!!!) in 2002 in Rabat & while I was there, I was asked by people there about the differences between them and the north american society, especially religion. I said the main difference is that Muslims actually believe in their religion, observe it in a meaningful & respectful way unlike Christians. Especially, when I saw literally millions of people quit eating, drinking, smoking, coffee, everything on the same morning of Ramadan, which was mind-blowing as a white guy from Canada LOL! I can't describe the intense Vibe of that day, that would in anyway give you an idea of how much of a cultural committment to their religion is, when that many people all stop smoking and drinking coffee on the same morning let alone eating!!!!!!! (Well over 90%?!?!) Seriously!!!!! Nothing has EVER compared with Ramadan in terms of the culture shock & when asked what is the major difference between North America & Morocco, is that "OUR" culture says that they're Christians but we actually observes almost nothing in terms of the teachings of Christ and if anything, are the exact opposite, as they use Christianity as a way to actually do the worse things humanely possible that Christ would obviously condemn and has condemned in pretty much everything he's ever taught throughout his entire time on earth. Muslims are not only a genuine, honest and solemn people who are not only committed to being a "just people," as well as willing to make the ultimate sacrifice personally, unlike Christians, who are completely unwilling to sacrifice pretty much anything (even just moderate discomfort, let alone any kind of personal loss as a result of any kind of a moral stand, or even just a mild inconvenience due to any difficulties resulting from standing up for people who don't help them politically or even financially, whatsoever, for their stated "values," let alone any kind of objective universal values such as human rights, free speech & or hell, just not celebrating the murder of thousands of innocent people, just because they're not the right color, region & or religion?!? The sad truth is that North americans are completely fine with throwing pretty much anyone under the bus. So long as they don't have to smell, a weird smell at the DMV, have to accommodate any kind of religious difference whatsoever. Most of all, to even have just a tiny sliver of empathy for a refugee escaping the hellhole mess that Americans have created for them in their own country when America assassinated their democratically elected leaders & installed a dictator into their country BUT now refuse them the option of escaping the hellhole America has created for their families in the first place!?!?! The system works!!!!

  7655. 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).

  7711. Let's keep in mind that Biden's 2023 deposition under Robert Hur, from the DNC's DOJ, wasn't in the middle of the night, it was while he had had plenty of rest and was preparing for it for months?!? Clearly, he was totally incapable of forming coherent sentences, let alone thoughts?!? If anyone in his inner circle, the DNC, had witnessed more than a couple of these events let alone SO MANY OTHERS, then they were actively risking the lives of every single American, for their own personal benefit as Biden would be wholly unprepared to deal with any major decision at night or day, like deciding whether the country should risk being reduced to a smouldering pile of rubble in a nuclear Armageddon you know.........or not?!?  How these people can defend that choice, tells you the kind of people who were running your country?!? Anything short of implementing the 25th amendment (or at the very least, a cognitive test by a neutral third party?) at that point was a complete & total abdication of duty, pure and simple by Biden and ALL of the DNC who lied to Americans for their own personal interests.  The sad reality is that they're no better than the Republicans, just better liars......(Yes, the RNC are clearly EVIL BUT this type of behavior shows a complete indifference to average Americans as they are clearly more committed to the DNC than  even beating Trump?!?) Clearly, we've entered the Weimar Republic 2.0 I'm so terrified that the DNC is more concerned with their own wealth & status, rather then the continued survival of the human race? Seriously, WTF?!?!?

  7749. Vote 3rd party. KAMALA WILL SUPPORT NEOLIBERALISM, THE M.I.COMPLEX INSTEAD OF WORKERS & THE MURDER OF TEN'S OF 1000's OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN,  The Democrat's sole purpose is to take energy and resources from the Left and working class people. Period. They made that clear with what they did to Bernie Sanders in both 2016 & 2020. They would rather Trump than real progress because ultimately the goal is to reward the donor class & consolidate power into the elites, not help regular people. With that as a guide (let's stop pretending that the DNC hasn't been failing on purpose for the last 40ish years, every time they do the Rich get richer and that's a coincidence i suppose), the logical conclusion to our future is eventual climate collapse & or WW3, which will be the pretext for actual fascism (covid really felt like a soft launch). When that happens and we don't have a movement, (Panther Party or Greens but my concern with the greens is that they will sacrifice themselves on the altar of electoralism that bares no fruit & won't be strident when required) 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 and systematically finds all of their petty crimes to either discredit them & or more likely incarceration/assassination). A Case for a 2nd Trump presidency. Therefore, I'm starting to think a second Trump presidency might be in everyone's best interest?  If Harris is re-elected 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, purposely making student debt relief fail in a corporate SCOTUS, kids still in cages, refugees dying at the border as well as continuing Trump's "wall', failure on climate, failure on a public healthcare option, the most approvals of oil & gas permits, support to break the backs of unions that actually affect the American economy (despite what Krystal ball says, the fact that they broke the rail workers strike with legislation tells you what the DNC will really do when push comes to shove on unions) continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza and on and on and on, etc...........   However, if Trump is re-elected everyone will remember that children are still dying in detention, health insurance is out of control, 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. Sadly, the same with Gaza. Even Trump understands that genocide draws too large of a spotlight to grift in the darkness).   Also, once we push  Harris across the line and she tastes POWER, do people honestly believe she'll go against the donors and deliver anything for the working class!?!? Another thing is the fact that if Harris serves 4 years, it will almost certainly ensure a GOP sweep of all 3 branches 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 sweep after 4 more years of Neoliberal policies under Harris.   The reality is that we can boil the climate/fascist 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 to the Left 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...... Clearly the system is not "working" for us. It's set up for the elites on both sides, so let's stop supporting it! Vote for any 3rd party and throw some sand in the Vaseline. Sure, sure it's going to hurt......... BUT It's going to hurt either way, at least it hurts them as well!!! The system works. Let's stop supporting it, vote 3rd party. Doesn't matter who, just NOT THEM!!!

  7756. Obama ran on codifying Roe versus Wade as his first act in office 2008. He was elected with a super majority but decided against making it law once in office as it was politically advantageous to have the RNC's anti-abortion stance as a credible threat to women's health. Obama & the DNC used women's reproductive Rights as a threat to force people into supporting corporate Democrats, who refused to to codify Roe for crass political gains at the expense of women's lives. The DNC purposely failed women's rights to advance their political agenda as they know that voters want Bernie Sanders BUT the DNC KNOWS that by cynically allowing Republicans to overturn Roe it will FORCE people who are furious about the anti-democratic/pro billionaire tendencies of the DNC to still vote for unpopular DNC candidates WHO OBVIOUSLY DON'T REPRESENT WORKING PEOPLE'S INTERESTS in the hope that they at least protect women's basic health needs.....this time. The DNC was right unfortunately, despite being historically unpopular for their utter refusal to do the overwhelming majority of Biden's campaign promises to the Left & or their overwhelming commitment to genocide, regular people have come out for the last 3 elections to protect themselves against the DNC enabled theocratic GOP's agenda to restrict women's reproductive healthcare despite the fact that the DNC doesn't represent the views of the overwhelming majority of the working class. Sadly, we know that the DNC has purposely placed them in a position to either support the DNC's commitment to murdering Brown Muslim children or losing their reproductive healthcare rights, which was all done on purpose.  The system works People can't articulate why they f**** hate the system but this type of s*** is everywhere.

  7772. MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concern yourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............

  7775. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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).

  7777. I can't help but shake the feeling that Jon Stewart got the same talk that Bernie Sanders got or AOC when they started focusing attention on the "wrong people." The one that says, "hey, listen it's okay to mess around at the edges because that doesn't f*** with billionaires money or the security establishmen's ability to suppress democracy BUT if you keep f**** around and riling up the "poor's" or even worse the lower middle classes, then a "lone wolf" could get you MLK'd?!?! I'm sure the establishment reminds them that JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King and Malcolm x (not mentioning that all leaders in every other country for the last 70 years who tried to represent their people fairly were either imprisoned, destroyed through blackmail, coups and assassinated) were all just fine when they were uselessly crying about civil rights, however, once they tied it to the working class, its relation to the military industrial complex and organized the working class that united the Right & Left sides on an understanding that they were BOTH being exploited by the same people, they were ALL assassinated within a year by "lone wolves." Convenient....... The system works P.S. I have come to the conclusion that there needs to be a massive movement similar to freeing Assange for the full and unredacted JFK assassination dossier which will I'm sure exposed the CIA & how they worked with the mafia to assassinate a president that didn't want world War 3. I think, they'll be able to show that President Johnson was complicit in this crime and it has affected every foreign policy and arguably domestic policy as a result ever since? Until the American people can be clearly told that the usa's secret police murdered their President for trying to bring Peace to the world so that the Establishment could deny things like universal Healthcare, infrastructure, education for all Americans so that they can compete in a world market and most importantly a free and open society where The security establishment can't use the threat of enemies abroad as a way to erode all civil liberties for Americans that the founders fought and died for. The system works.

  7789. Obama assassinated an American citizen who was accused of terrorism and then his teenage son was murdered as well without charge or even evidence. When an American President can muder citizens without due process than the constitution has already been thrown away with impunity. The duopoly only complains when it's the other side BUT that's just to give cover for the obvious fact that there's 2 sets of rules, 1. The Establishment is above the Law unless they are polically inconvenient & they don't have political skeletons to threaten, think B. Menendez who only did ol' fashioned BUT he did it the incorrect way by taking payments upfront instead of the proper way like The Clintons getting paid millions in speaking fees for taking care of interest groups. Then there's Gov. Cuomo who colluded with insurance companies to change safety laws in oldage homes so that they could all be shoved in together if they got Covid saving them millions at the cost of seniors who died alone for their greed. He was politically inconvenient BUT unfortunately he has many DNC skeletons as his family is a political dynasty, therefore a resignation for crimes considerably less egregious that served as a distraction of what could be credibly argued to be mass murder if it could be proved they fully understood the obvious results of placing elderly patients together with Covid. That's why its laughable to believe that the current SCOTUS is anything other than a continuation of business as usual. In fact, at least it rips away the veneer of legitimacy from corrupt court used to protect corrupt politicians. The system works.

  7804. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate. I mean, after they tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder children & drag America into a middle East regional war for the fifth time!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donors that finally turned on Biden to anoint her candidacy, she will have to pick Shapiro who's absolutely perfect. He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports a complete and total genocide in Gaza, but more importantly shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of this mass slaughter of Palestinian children!!! But that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensures that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's commitment to Wall Street by making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! The system works.

  7850. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after they beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to CIA under Dulles who led the mission) colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporations interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & will sacrifice everyone to their Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger

Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's commitment to Wall Street by making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! The system works.

  7887. Let's always remember people like Medhi were more than comfortable to ingratiate himself with corporate media by throwing people who were actually brave enough to stand up against the Israeli propaganda way under the bus, people like Jeremy Corbyn. That's why he still supports the Democratic party despite its overwhelming support of genocide, or his overwhelming support of the Labour party in Britain who also supports the genocide in Gaza. Medhi supports both of those governments whole heartedly. He does that because he wants to be on the side of money and influence in the establishment. He's a sellout and is exactly as Norm Finkelstein describes him......... MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concernedyourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............ Clearly, Medhi is a great attack dog and I'm glad that he is setting his sights on the people who are perpetrating these atrocities, however, The reality is that anyone who can so casually blow in the direction of the corporate wind, can't genuinely be trusted and is ultimately dangerous as they can never, ever, under any circumstances to be trusted not to do it again once defending the truth becomes inconvenient or expensive.  Until I see Medhi actually sacrifice anything to help anyone other than himself, I will never trust him again.

  7936. VOTE 3RD PARTY!!!! The reality is that the duopoly is going to win regardless BUT if a massive voter turnout for 3rd parties occurs it could possibly get 5% for official federal government support and more importantly start to break the back of corporate domination of both parties. Besides, 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). 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. Dr Cornell West for President (or any 3rd party, just so long as you're not supporting the duopoly). By

  7937. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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.

  7944. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & or will sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  7949. 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.

  7965. 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).   The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way. HOWEVER, if the fire is stoked purposely by the actual Left, it would tell the Corporate Democrats that breaking almost every promise has consequences or if we are really lucky, public awareness that the duopoly will not only not save us!!!! BUT IS ACTIVELY WORKING AGAINST ALL WORKER'S INTERESTS (Even if you make $100,000 a year) and force regular people to understand that after the Palestinians/LEBANESE, it WILL EVENTUALLY BE the country their families are from next. Not to mention the fact, that they're also in the same boiling pot of climate change & that the next climate catastrophe is going to be the pretext for ushering in boots on the ground fascism or disaster in their region that will ALSO have to be ignored in order to PRIORITIZE the ongoing slaughter of the middle East's Muslim people to satiate the blood lust and regional hegemonic intentions of Israel's elite, it's co-conspirators in the American security establishment and of course the ultra wealthy Israeli lobby groups that are more concerned about regional domination than its own people that are ignored along with thier families, THE HOSTAGES!?!?!    The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote third party, knowing full well that it will more than likely elect Donald Trump and that you are proud of it because it's better than voting for Kamala's kinder, gentler genocide.  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 as it expands across the region. 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 are 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 f***ing genocide is concerned!?! Kamala is an empty vessel to be filled with the military industrial complex's murderous interests for not only Gaza BUT obviously the broader region & the next place they intend to invade once they've executed every last Muslim man, woman and child.  (Sadly, I originally wrote this previous to the Lebanese mass murder campaign of Netanyahu BUT iT WAS COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE AS THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT HAS TOLD US THIS WAS F***ING PLAN.) 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 & will continue to act accordingly. I'm not saying that the Trump presidency is good in any way and will NOT ONLY be a tragic loss of  life but will also threaten everything we hold dear as people who care about our ENTIRE community not just our demographic ❤️. What I'm saying is that once we accept genocide as the lesser of two evils, we are no longer human beings but animals who are willing to do anything to survive and I would rather die as a human being defending the dignity of all people, rather than as a Savage animal, killing everything instinctively in its path as an excuse to ignore the humanity of others.  The system works, let's stop supporting it. Vote Green 💚

  7973. VP Harris is going to continue to support the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children. The DNC is a vote to offshore jobs with "free trade", endless wars and genocide. HOWEVER, the parents of those murdered children can take solace in the fact that our first black woman President PAID to have those kids executed! Or? Stop supporting the duopoly that has sold out the American working class to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Vote for ANY 3rd party, just to let the DNC know that you don't support tax breaks for billionaires or the slaughter of innocent children, it's the only way they will stop doing both. Sadly, the American people tried to elect Bernie Sanders, TWICE. Now, for a third time the elites have not allowed the American people to choose their leader but instead imposed someone who supports unnecessary corporate inflation, the Military Industry Complex rather than helping Americans and crucially, the ongoing genocide in Gaza (every bomb dropped on a child, is literally a library full of books, that are missing in America.) Vote 3rd party if you don't want to be complicit in the execution of those children or the further erosion of democracy? Sadly, if Trump wins he'll do the same thing & in similar numbers as both parties support Netanyahu's genocidal campaign BUT because Trump is hated, people will actually scrutinize everything that he does worldwide to fight back. However, IF Kamala is elected they can go back to brunch because those children will be rip to shreds by the first black woman president in America........ Ugh.

  7988. WE ARE HERE BECAUSE THEY STOLE THE PRIMARY FROM BERNIE, NOW THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE PRIMARIES ANYMORE....... DNC vs Bernie 2016 primary June 2016, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz for violating the DNC Charter by rigging the Democratic presidential primaries for Hillary Clinton against Bernie Sanders. Even former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid admitted in July 2016, “I knew—everybody knew—that this was not a fair deal.” He added that Debbie Wasserman Schultz should have resigned much sooner than she did. The lawsuit was filed to push the DNC to admit their wrongdoing and provide Bernie Sanders supporters, who supported him financially with millions of dollars in campaign contributions, with restitution for being cheated. On August 25, 2017, Federal Judge William Zloch, dismissed the lawsuit after several months of litigation during which DNC attorneys argued that the DNC would be well within their rights to select their own candidate. “In evaluating Plaintiffs’ claims at this stage, the Court assumes their allegations are true—that the DNC and Wasserman Schultz held a palpable bias in favor Clinton and sought to propel her ahead of her Democratic opponent,” the court order dismissing the lawsuit stated. This assumption of a plaintiff’s allegation is the general legal standard in the motion to dismiss stage of any lawsuit. The allegations contained in the complaint must be taken as true unless they are merely conclusory allegations or are invalid on their face. The order then explained why the lawsuit would be dismissed. “The Court must now decide whether Plaintiffs have suffered a concrete injury particularized to them, or one certainly impending, that is traceable to the DNC and its former chair’s conduct—the keys to entering federal court. The Court holds that they have not.” The Court added that it did not consider this within its jurisdiction. “Federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction, possessing ‘only that power authorized by Constitution and statute.'” The Court continued, “For their part, the DNC and Wasserman Schultz have characterized the DNC charter’s promise of ‘impartiality and evenhandedness’ as a mere political promise—political rhetoric that is not enforceable in federal courts. The Court does not accept this trivialization of the DNC’s governing principles. While it may be true in the abstract that the DNC has the right to have its delegates ‘go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way,’ the DNC, through its charter, has committed itself to a higher principle.” The order reaffirmed that regardless of whether the primaries were tipped in Hilary Clinton’s favor, the Court’s authority to intervene based on the allegations of the kind set forth in the plaintiff’s complaint is limited at best. “This Order therefore concerns only technical matters of pleading and subject-matter jurisdiction.” Jared Beck, one of the leading attorneys representing the plaintiffs in the lawsuit told The Observer, “The standard governing the motion to dismiss requires the Court to accept all well-pled allegations as true for purposes of deciding the motion. Thus, the Court recited the allegations of the Complaint that it was required to accept as true, and in so doing, acknowledged that the allegations were well pled. Indeed, if you look at the if you look at the Complaint, you will see that all of these allegations accepted by the Court specifically rely on cite materials that are readily available in the public record, and they support the inference that the DNC and the DWS rigged the primaries.”

  8000. The DNC supports Netanyahu's obviously genocidal lunatics as well as Israel's obvious plans to force America to fight the wars that Israel picks so that American taxpayers pick up the tab in $ & American lives for Israel's immoral bloodthirsty attempts to destroy the region in the hope that Israel can rebuild it with Americans money based on a fascist white Jewish ethnostate!?!! You can't have the President say out one side of his mouth that murdering tens of thousands of innocent Muslim children makes him sad BUT out the other side that Biden supports Israel's deranged mass murder spree across the middle East and that it will continue to do so NO MATTER WHAT?!?!? I understand that this passes without much notice because everyone understands that Joementia literally has no power, influence and or general basic cognitive function at this point, but everyone else DOES understand other than corporate Joe, that the DNC has been making these very specific choices for quite some time and actions speak louder than words. Despite the hand ringing, It's quite quite clear that the DNC has every intention of backing Israel's regime change wars across the middle East, which would 100% destroy any gains made against inflation, would destroy any chances of a broader peace agreement with literally anyone in the entire world, as everyone would 100% understand that America is more or less a psychopath who's backing another psychopath on a sequel that nobody wanted: natural born killers 2: poor, brown and Muslim's don't count as HUMAN BEINGS!?!?!?! WTF.

  8008. Let's be honest, both parties are 100% Pro-genocide, as both of them support sending billions of dollars to bomb women and children who are trapped in an open-air prison in Gaza. The only difference seems to be that the Republicans have evangelicals who are super into that, however, the Democrats understand that genocide isn't really popular (especially with all the pictures of the children blown to pieces and the constant credible stories of the IDF raping and torturing Palestinian prisoners, especially healthcare workers like doctors, nurses, emergency responders) and so the DNC needs to lie about it as long as possible to win the election before they can start supporting it again openly (while leaking reports of course that they are really SAD about it BUT unfortunately there's nothing they can do to help except send Israel more 2,000 lb bombs......). Similar to how Obama expressed anger about the 2008 crash that was caused by the obscene greed of the banks (who are coincidentally once again major donors to the DNC) and then promptly rewarded all of them with trillions in taxpayers $ in bailouts, while simultaneously giving millions of American homeowners eviction notices. But I digress, yes, Trump is a terrible human being and is likely to do very very bad stuff. However, the reality is that Democrats support the same terrible stuff but with positive language & delayed bombs for talking points. You may be comfortable with a gentle, slower genocide of the tens of thousands of innocent women and children who, under no circumstances can actually be Hamas, regardless of how much you tell yourself that to justify it. The decision-making process of the extremely militant religious terrorist organization is a boys club of misogynistic assholes who were barely elected almost 20 years ago. But I am not a supporter of a kinder genocide and could never support it, no matter how much DNC handwringing was involved. Not sure how they sleep at night knowing that those kids are either burning to death, suffocating to death, starving to death, and or bleeding to death under piles of rubble with the bombs that they paid for instead of using that money to help America's children, seniors, veterans, mentally ill, medical bankruptcies, climate change preparations, and on f**** and f****** on and f**** on............. But please, explain to me why Harris is a better choice BUT more importantly, how you can justify the slaughter of literally 100's of thousands of innocent people?!?! (Before you do your usual blah blah blah blah Hamas, keep in mind that both the Israeli government and Hamas have an extremely vested interest in keeping the numbers low as possible. Israel obviously doesn't want the world to know that they are genocidal maniacs who kill Palestinians with a cruelty that it's hard to fathom & the sheer volume of those fatalities BUT same thing with Hamas, the more the terrorists can down play the civilian death toll, the easier it is for them to justify the ongoing war to Palestinians while still holding onto The hostages. Clearly the military of both parties in this conflict, don't want solutions and they've made it pretty f**** obvious. Lastly, I totally understand the Republican position as they fall under a few very distinct positions. The evangelicals who hope that the needless slaughter in Israel will bring forth an even larger, needless slaughter so that the the complete and total destruction of everyone involved will usher in the second coming of Christ who will mercilessly slaughter everyone who doesn't converge to Christianity as he spreads his message of love and forgiveness. Or, the usual straight up colonial racist Republican that supports murdering Muslims and taking their land. Or supporting Israel because they are a bulwark against Muslim nationalism which would, if they could get their s*** together be a direct threat to American hegemony of those resources in the region. That's why the american government and the Israeli government have always propped up the Muslim religious lunatics as a way to destabilize the middle East and ensure that they can never organize to help themselves. Obviously, destabilization helps to enrich our wealthy Elite who are invested in projects there as well as ensuring that American adversaries don't have access to those same resources But I actually don't understand, is how Democrats see and do all the exact same s*** but somehow feel like they're the good guys?!?! The GOP at least understands that their murderous thugs dare to take everyone's s*** and act accordingly. The thing I find so disgusting and difficult to stomach is how the DNC tries to sell us. Peace! Joy, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah but then delivers at least 50,000 dead. The system works P.s. I guess I did actually put all the details in again! This s*** really pisses me off.

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.

  8041. 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 (for lack of a better term that has historical context). 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 or we will all lose when the planet burns. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Panther Party

  8046. Let's all remember that Canadian media is ALL owned by billionaires and that they hate the liberal/NDP coalition government and have supported the conservatives and their tax breaks for billionaires in almost every single election. I'm no fan of the Liberals, but let's be honest, the conservatives are going to give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy (mainstream media), service cuts to everyone else, slightly less mass immigration (look up the numbers, the Cons are almost exactly the same on immigration) and of course petty cruelty to anyone who needs help like veterans, the disabled or anyone else who can't help the conservatives get more power and money. If you don't believe me, look up their record or I can send it to you if you want. I understand hating Trudeau, he's a bumbling imbecile but sadly Pierre is something much more dangerous. Pierre is actually very smart and he knows how to manipulate people into voting against their own interests. Don't get me wrong, I get that people are going to do that anyways because they are grossly ignorant of the facts of Pierre's voting record in the 9 years of the Harper government & it's relentless support of corporations and the ultra wealthy. But eventually those choices will come home to roost and people will remember why they kicked out Harper and almost 10 years of debt-ridden government broken promises. Sadly, it'll be after Pierre sells off a bunch of important Canadian infrastructure/land just like Harper did on his last year in government to the highest bidder in order to pretend that he balanced the budget (could you imagine selling your house and then having to rent it from the new owners while telling your family that the balance sheet looks good as your money goes to the landlord every month?!?!). The conservatives ran out the back door with bags of money (Cons foreign minister Baird literally left government & worked for a Chinese billionaire and a f##$ing Gold mine. It's f**** cartoonish?!?!). Clearly, Pierre is one of the greatest snake oil salesman of our time, even more depressing is that the Canadian people will have to pick up the tab as always on the back of working Canadians. P.s. had Trudeau actually ended first-past-the-post system (FPTP) which he campaigned on and then didn't bring in proportional representation because it allowed Liberals to rule unopposed is why we are going to have a majority conservative government (last time it was 34% of the electorate that voted for conservatives but won a majority )even though the overwhelming majority of Canadians actually don't support that. I understand how much we all f**** hate Trudeau, he is a selfish, entitled horrible piece of s*** that has doomed Canada for the next generation because of his selfishness to conservative corporate rule. F*** Trudeau I hope he gets rectal cancer. The system works.

  8052. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America or Britain on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  8077. Trump hating the DNC doesn't make him a champion of the working class OR: Two things can be true at the same time; the Establishment of both Republicans and Democrats could be actively complicit in the attempted assassination of Trump because they HATE him for exposing their obvious corruption AND...........Trump represents the EXACT same type of corruption BUT it only serves HIM rather than the entire Establishment WHICH IS PRECISELY WHY THEY HATE TRUMP, AND NOT BECAUSE TRUMP CARES ABOUT POOR PEOPLE IN MISSISSIPPI OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR F*+@# SAKE?!?! I get that Jimmy makes his money punching the DNC and to be clear, they need to be punched f**** hard. The problem is that It implies Trump gives a f*** about anyone or anything other than himself. Obviously, everything that Trump has ACTUALLY done clearly shows the fact that he ONLY serves himself. Trump filled his cabinet with the swamp monsters, 1 then his first act was to immediately give a massive tax break to millionaires & billionaires, the only other thing he really attempted to do was kill the Affordable Care act with absolutely nothing else to replace it with, which would literally have cost millions of American lives or their homes over a decade, ALL because he hates Obama (I hate Obama too BUT I wouldn't want to make millions of Americans suffer to make a point! Obama's sellout to Wall Street after the 2008 crash gave the Banks trillions of taxpayer dollars for destroying the economy while giving eviction notices to everyone else is why People hated the establishment so much that they voted for a  game show host with no experience or knowledge, the most powerful job in the world?!?! F#@+ Obama!!!!! ) However, it's why I can't support Jimmy as I can't help but shake the feeling that he knows supporting Trump pays the most money without any consideration of the damage that does. However, as someone who genuinely cares about what happens to the world and its future, means that letting Trump supporters off the hook for supporting TRUMP'S VERY REAL CORRUPTION & CRUELTY is profitable BUT deeply immoral. Ultimately it's bad for the USA, democracy and the ENTIRE world. I say vote third party no matter what as any vote for the uniparty is a vote against freedom for ALL of US AND INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS FOR THE HUMAN SPECIES SURVIVAL!! The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote 3rd party!!!!!

  8112.  @willdon.1279  Trump is the unfortunate blowback of 40 years Neoliberal DNC 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 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.  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. Then. I guess at some point they'll try the strong man and hope that maybe he delivers. He won't, of course, but that's the consequence we all have to suffer for the greed hubris of the Democratic party..  The system works

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.  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. Then. I guess at some point they'll try the strong man and hope that maybe he delivers. He won't, of course, but that's the consequence we all have to suffer for the greed hubris of the Democratic party..  The system works

  8122. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & or will sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  8143. If Bernie threatened the DNC to run for the Green party if Biden doesn't force Israel to stop the genocide immediately he'd save 10's of thousands of innocent Palestinians. F$#@ you Bernie and your "vote blue no matter who" bs, you already f*** us out of the alternative democracy that everyone donated to and supported you with their last nickels. As soon as you sold out to Biden for nothing, not a single f'ing concession, nothing. Don't get me wrong, I know the power's that be said if you actually exercise your power they would kill you, your family or something worse. At that point you could have said that you were retiring from politics because that you could not be effective and that you were threatened (you would at least have been honest and people would have understood that you couldn't sacrifice your family for the greater good ) BUT you didn't do that, you told us to vote for Biden knowing full well he was lying about all the things he was telling progressive voters while on the campaign trail and now you're doing the same. Still, that was the trade-off when you challenged power in the first place and inspired people with what they thought was the truth. You sacrificed the left and all of its momentum for the foreseeable future for you and your family's safety. You got your million dollar book deal, you're still relatively popular, your kids will be fine unlike the Palestinian babies dying of starvation and 2000 lbs American bombs. However, I'm quite sick of multi-millionaire democrats telling us that we have to support genocide Joe, so that we can save ourselves at the sacrifice of the Palestinians and everything else that matters is complete and total utter f**** b******. I reiterate, f** you. What the upper class wants is that we save them from Trump and his dirty working class hordes of people who know that the DNC sold them out to China and anyone else for pennies. Had you come out recently and said that you will not support Biden unless he demands that Israel stops the genocide NOW or the Biden administration will 100% cut them off ALL aid going forward. Also, that all weapons aid stops NOW f**** regardless of whether there's a ceasefire or not and that it will not return until an honest two-state solution is put forward by Israel. Anything short of that is tacit support for goddamn ethnic cleansing and the fact that you can sleep at night in your million dollar home while the people of Gaza and their children are murdered and starved to death by the person you are telling us is, "a good man" is rigodamndiculous. It's really hard to believe you have the f**** nerve to defend genocide Joe and the DNC after everything we've seen. I don't know what they have on you Bernie, but you sold your soul and the hope of an entire generation who came out for you. You will be remembered for that, your kids will live with it, we will all live with your complicity in genocide.* Except all the Palestinians who die as a result of your cowardess . Trump will win and you will be complicit because you supported the neoliberal policies of Biden that got Trump elected. You did this for nothing and without getting a goddamn thing in return for all the heart, effort, sacrifice of the people who supported you with money and time that they did not have to give. You lied to them and worst of all you gave them hope. Like I said, f*** you. The system works.

  8145. Conservatives and Liberals both sold out to China Just remember that Polllievere voted for FIPA trade agreement with China in 2012 and Trudeau ratified it when you think there's a difference between these two. Both Liberals and Conservatives represent Corporations not Canadians. The record of Pierre's time in the Harper government tells the real story, here's some of the details. Canadian governments are locked in for a generation. If Canada finds the deal unsatisfactory, it cannot be cancelled completely for 31 years. China benefits much more than Canada, because of a clause allowing existing restrictions in each country to stay in place. Chinese companies get to play on a relatively level field in Canada, while maintaining wildly arbitrary practices and rules for Canadian companies in China. Chinese companies will be able to seek redress against any laws passed by any level of government in Canada which threaten their profits. Australia has decided not to enter FIPA agreements specifically because they allow powerful corporations to challenge legislation on social, environmental and economic issues. Chinese companies investing heavily in Canadian energy will be able to seek billions in compensation if their projects are hampered by provincial laws on issues such as environmental concerns or First Nations rights, for example. Cases will be decided by a panel of professional arbitrators, and may be kept secret at the discretion of the sued party. This extraordinary provision reflects an aversion to transparency and public debate common to the Harper cabinet and the Chinese politburo. Differences between FIPA and the North American Free Trade Agreement may offer intriguing loopholes for American lawyers to argue for equal treatment under the principle of Most Favoured Nation. Does that sound like "FREEDOM" to you?

  8184. 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).

  8205. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate. I mean, after they tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder children & drag America into a middle East regional war for the fifth time!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donors that finally turned on Biden to anoint her candidacy, she will have to pick Shapiro who's absolutely perfect. He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports a complete and total genocide in Gaza, but more importantly shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of this mass slaughter of Palestinian children!!! But that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensure that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's commitment to Wall Street by making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! The system works.

  8250. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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). 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 P.S. Marianne has even less of a chance than Dr. West, Bernie knows that better than anyone and so should you Kyle.

  8283. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR.

More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & or will sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy.  The system works.

  8289. Lol, yeah good luck with using Trump fact checks to somehow save this from the obvious disaster that it was. Dementia Joe, who he will obviously now be called because genocide Joe doesn't make sense, as he's clearly not in charge & says everything about the Democrat party. The white house is obviously run by a bunch of goddamn donors and the people who control Washington and not that dodering old man who can't goddamn string two f**** sentences together. Clearly, Biden will not be running for president as he should be sent to an old-timers home as anyone with any goddamn eyes or ears can understand. The real question, is the obvious fact that they would rather Trump win then to do anything for the American people because any sort of primary would have brought in a Bernie Sanders which the DNC despises because they wouldn't agree with genocide or billionaires paying their fair share of taxes and universal healthcare for Americans like any other normal first world country. Obviously, we're all going to die as a result of the dnc's complete and total capitulation to the donor class, the Israelis and The military industrial complex. I can't describe how angry I am, wait. I think I just did.......... How the f*** can they justify this completely horrific s**show that's coming down the pipe?!?! You people suck, the mainstream media sucks and worst of all Joe Biden sucks so bad that he makes Trump look reasonable. F** you & the billionaires who run America. I guess we understand now why Biden is Netanyahu 's B****.

  8322. DNC tries to distract you from what is currently HAPPENING NOW! Israel attacking Iran risks an Iranian retaliation that would set the middle East oilfields on fire, this would drive up the $ world energy (think of how the Russian/Ukraine war immediately increased inflation) that would ripple through the world economy and MASSIVELY INCREASE INFLATION FOR EVERYONE!!! Regardless as to how you feel about either Israel, Palestinians or Iranians for that matter, unless you are a billionaire oil field owner in either America, Russia, Mexico, Venezuela or the African dictators that would benefit from a major spike in oil prices, you will experience the worst inflation EVER in the history of humanity as it will not just affect the middle East but the supply chain all through EU/Asia/S. America that is the lifeblood of cheap labor that runs on cheap energy pumped out of the middle East?!? Why would we want to destroy your standard of living and potentially our livelihoods so that Israel can set the region on fire, ALL so that Netanyahu can avoid corruption charges as he can't face justice while he wages war on his neighbors?!?!? Who gives a shit about anyone in the middle East?!?!? As Americans, WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT EITHER PARTY'$ COMPLETE AND TOTAL COMMITMENT TO DESTROYING OUR ECONOMY ALL IN THE SERVICE OF A SMALL COUNTRY HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD, AS HURRICANE VICTIMS LOSE THEIR HOMES? OBVIOUSLY, AMERICANS ARE FINE WITH ALL OF THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MURDERED BROWN KIDS......  HOWEVER, THE REALITY IS THAT IT'S GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE'S LIFE EVERYWHERE MISERABLE JUST TO SUPPORT THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE SO THAT BILLIONAIRES ACROSS THE WORLD CAN GET RICH ON THE OIL SPIKE, MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX & REAL ESTATE FROM DEAD PALESTINIANS?!?! W.T.F!?!? SERIOUSLY....... I'M TERRIFIED OF HOW STUPID AND GREEDY THESE PEOPLE ARE.

  8337. Canada's border accounts for considerably less than 1% of drugs or refugees than Mexico's border does, so this obviously has nothing to do with that whatsoever. However, Trump is ONLY allowed to start a trade war without Congressional approval, IF it is "security" related, hence the nonsense about drugs coming from Canada. Trump intends to extort Canadians to enrich certain corporations and himself at the expense of average Americans & Canadian's. Oil will be exempted because he understands that most Canadian Conservative politicians will gladly sell out the rest of Canadians to ensure that their donors in the oil industry are still profitable as that's who they actually serve . Oil sector makes up less than 10% of Canadians GDP, So I'm not overly trusting of a politician who gets their overwhelming majority of their campaign donations from that same industry as the other 90% of us still need jobs. (* you can't get a cushy corporate board seat after politics if you didn't deliver the goods) p.s. Liberals aren't much better unfortunately, just slightly less beholden to one industry....... Ugh. PP is eventually going to trickle down on us whether we like it or not as He's going to get in eventually. So we're going to find out one way or another, but I've never wanted to be more wrong about a person in my entire life. With any luck he's not the exact same person. He was the last time he was in government and has totally turned a new leaf and will do the things he actually says?!?!? Fingers crossed Dave;)

  8359. There's nothing in that area in Russia that is relevant to Putun. Yes, it's an embarrassment but sacrificing the lives of so many Russian and Ukrainian soldiers just to make Putin feel sad seems not only ill advised but extremely stupid. There's nothing there that would give ukrainians any sort of bargaining chip or it would have already been protected and regardless it'll obviously be stamped out shortly as there's no way to maintain supply lines. To me, it seems like they're just trying to get past the American election and to give the Democrats some wins on TV for people who are too stupid to understand the obvious truth that the ukrainians will never beat a nuclear-armed Russia with a vastly larger and well-armed Army regardless as to how many useless open fields it destroys or Russian villagers it butchers (I get that Russians have probably done the same war crimes but delivering back more of the same only helps Putin deliver the message that the Americans are coming to slaughter regular Russians and he is the only one to save them.) Let's assume that Putin is the new Hitler as the mainstream media suggests. What do you think Hitler would have done on the last day in the bunker, had he had nuclear weapons? Ukraine has a right to fight back, we should help them BUT not to the point where we damn the entire world to nuclear Armageddon. The fact is Russia isn't going away and the only peace deal that lasts is one that disappoints everyone and loses elections. I'm so sick and tired of the mainstream media's drum beat for war. I get that it's good for ratings and helps all the corporations stock prices, but it makes everyone else in the world suffer for no reason other than to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Ukraine is incapable of winning this war and using more American tax payer dollars to prolong the war for both countries young men who actually have to fight it, does nothing except to enrich the military industrial Complex of both countries, who will continue to benefit from the slaughter of all of these young men. Regardless of how many young Ukrainian men die needlessly, Putin will not turn himself over to the Americans because he's found some sense of morality. The fact is that the American political Elite keeps saying that Putin will never, under any circumstances, ever, no matter how much we invade Russia or encourage his political enemies to assassinate him, will ever use nuclear weapons is more or less a triple dog dare to use nuclear weapons?!?! I get that Americans are fundamentally stupid and have never actually had to pay the price for their ignorance, hubris and or deeply selfish intentions that everyone who's not American expects well eventually you have to be paid but will probably result in the end of civilization. Regardless, we are rapidly approaching that moment and more importantly, rather than Americans and American voters who support the genocidal lunatics on both sides who love all these wars and the donors who encourage them will SADLY not be the only ones who suffer the consequences BUT rather the entire world. The system works.

  8380. Well, only a week later, Poilievre finally acknowledged that his old riding of Carleton exists DESPITE the fact that they were no longer relevant?!? Clearly his advisors explained that perhaps his new riding of Battle River-Crowfoot might not appreciate the fact that his old riding was completely ignored once they were no longer deemed useful to PP electorally, LOL?!? Even though they gave PP, his electoral stature to date for the last 20 years, obviously they no longer served a purpose anymore, so there's zero point in acknowledging them or anything whatsoever in terms of his time there, as it's only a reminder now of his total failures. Still, PP must have been told that letting his old constituents know that they don't have any value whatsoever, once they've proven that they can't further his career and therefore should be ignored obviously, is the worst message possible to his new constituence that he is trying to parachute into LOL! Which is that the Battle River-Crowfoot electorate concern's obviously don't mean anything whatsoever, unless it's in the service of the conservative leadership for PP?!?! DUH!! Clearly acknowledging 20 years of PP not serving Carleton, as he climbs the leadership ladder sends an unfortunate message to his new riding, about how much they actually matter. Much better to ignore the facts & move towards using the people in Alberta now and their riding, so that he can climb over them and get to a place where he can ensure that he is able to reward the donors that actually paid for him to get where he is before the people of Battle River-Crowfoot figure out that they don't actually matter!! The system works.

  8428. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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 do people 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 sweep 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.

  8438. 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.

  8452. "Analysts say it puts a stain on their political Dynasty." WTF?!?! Let's be clear, I don't like Kennedy. I think he's like the rest of them, a political grifter holding his finger up to see which way the wind blows, especially the fact that he supports the Israeli slaughter of tens of thousands of women and children. However, the fact is he represented a lot of people's views and more importantly, a third party platform, which I think is the most important thing that could potentially save America as both parties want to make sure that every election is an existential choice between the evil of the other side and they couldn't use this to ensure the fact that Americans never, ever, under any circumstances what's so f**** ever have a choice other than the duopoly. Sadly, rfk Jr hasn't lived up to anything he's said in the first place and is clearly now just trying to s*** on the Democrats on the way out, which is understandable considering how completely and dishonorably they have acted in every possible way. The DNC continues to not do anything Democratic despite their namesake. Let's be honest, they f*** Bernie for two election primaries in a row and didn't even bother whatsoever this time as they knew Biden was not capable of running an election & Bernie is now also a millionaire which makes him coincidentally, a lot more agreeable. Which is exactly why the DNC had a June debate with Trump. They knew that old man Biden wouldn't listen as he's a meglomaniac and the only way they could get him to step down was to absolutely humiliate him on the world stage by not giving him his proper meds the night of, or didn't anyone else notice the fact that it was the first time he was laid out to dry?!?! Truth is been 12 years since the DNC establishment after Obama has had to listen to anyone (and if you consider Obama's terms it's actually more like 20 years of Neoliberal policies, which is exactly the way they like it) Let's be clear, Kennedy called out Joe Biden at the very beginning and said he wasn't fit to run for office. Again, RFK was mocked openly as Joe was obviously in perfect condition as confirmed by his family and staff, everyone in the DNC Establishment knew he was fine as confirmed by the highest ranking members of the DNC, everyone in the corporate media knew he was clearly fit to run for a second term in his late '80s and obviously anyone suggesting otherwise was a conservative troll, who "mocked a stutter" that wasn't present for the last 50 years. Hence, that was the reason to ostracize RFK Jr rather than listen to his concerns about the environment, unlawful restrictions on Americans movements during covid, the fact that those restrictions destroyed small businesses across the country to the benefit once again of the corporations that coincidentally, had the most to gain from these policies and donated extremely generously to the DNC. Also, the fact that Ukraine's war against Russia is completely unwinnable, as Russia is a nuclear power, not to mention the fact that losing would be an existential threat to Putin directly and anyone related to him or in his inner circle. This obviously means that they understand that their existence in every conceivable way possible is tied to this war. Let's assume. Corporate media is correct and Putin is the new Hitler, what do you think Hitler would have done with all of those nuclear bombs once forced into his bunker at the very end of his life?!?!?! Then there is the uncomfortable fact that it's definitely coming close to a million dead Young people from both sides for no f**** reason whatsoever, except for using them as cruel Pawns against Russia (The country who saved us from the Nazis. Despite what American movies tell us, it was 100% the fact that almost 30 million Russians fought and died against the Nazis and their total and complete drive towards the heart of Germany is what made most Nazis lay down their weapons and accept allied rule because they were understandably terrified of what the Russians were going to do because of all of their horrific crimes against the Russian people. Obviously, Americans are deeply, DEEPLY ignorant of this history along with so, so, so, so so so so so much more of world history, let alone their own history. That it doesn't even register how f*** up their choice to want to put nuclear weapons on Russia's border and a standing Army in Ukraine under NATO control on the Russian border, after the Americans promised for decades to not do anything like that. Then, precisely as Americans do, they did exactly what they promised not to and orchestrated a coup in Ukraine in 2014 (before you say anything about this please, for the love of God just do even the most basic research. Everyone knows that the Americans were the ones who helped overthrow the pro-russian government of Ukraine. It's why the Russians took over Crimea and why Obama didn't do anything about it. Once again the spectacular ignorance of the new American people is how this all happened. But once again I digress........ My guess is that Kennedy figures that Trump is the least likely leader to actually start world War 3 because the polls tell him that's what he should do. I think Kennedy figures that Trump doesn't actually give a s*** about what anyone thinks, which is actually probably true, however, I also think that Trump would nuke every country in Europe and sleep like a baby if he thought it would make him president for life. Damn it. I'm digressing again LOL!!! Sadly, the choice is between a megalomaniac, whose sole purpose in life is to climb the ladder, throw anyone under the bus that gets in their way, let people suffer and die just so that they can get a little further ahead and us basically a soulless husk whose only purpose is MORE.......... Sadly, our only other choice is Trump. The system works.

  8485. VP Harris is going to continue to support the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children. The DNC is a vote to offshore jobs with "free trade", endless wars and genocide. HOWEVER, the parents of those murdered children can take solace in the fact that our first black woman President PAID to have those kids executed! Or? Stop supporting the duopoly that has sold out the American working class to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Vote for ANY 3rd party, just to let the DNC know that you don't support tax breaks for billionaires or the slaughter of innocent children, it's the only way they will stop doing both. Sadly, the American people tried to elect Bernie Sanders, TWICE. Now, for a third time the elites have not allowed the American people to choose their leader but instead imposed someone who supports unnecessary corporate inflation, the Military Industry Complex rather than helping Americans and crucially, the ongoing genocide in Gaza (every bomb dropped on a child, is literally a library full of books, that are missing in America.) Vote 3rd party if you don't want to be complicit in the execution of those children or the further erosion of democracy? Sadly, if Trump wins he'll do the same thing & in similar numbers as both parties support Netanyahu's genocidal campaign BUT because Trump is hated, people will actually scrutinize everything that he does worldwide to fight back. However, IF Kamala is elected they can go back to brunch because those children will be rip to shreds by the first black woman president in America........ Ugh.

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.

  8563. I'm hoping that Dune 3 has EVEN MORE romantically longing stare contests between Paul & his concubine & less of the importance of the Space Guilds relevance for the entire plot, especially if they emphasize the forced romance of a living god's side-girl over the rest of anything concerning the entire universe's reliance on the Guild, and it's direct political tension between all of the houses, Emporer and the importance of the spice?!?!  That tension of the political drama & the entire universe hinging on the triangular power balance of these three strategic groups (God king, guild & houses) seems almost totally irrelevant when compared to infatuation. Especially when the two young actors are super hot & stare at each other, like a lot, but like you know, longingly....... Removal of the Guild entirely, even though they are the linchpin of the plot with spice, space travel, their relevance to the Emperor & the Houses just seems pretty irrelevant in comparison to the romance between a living God & his Bae!!!!! Looking forward to more crucial characters being completely sidelined in order to service Hollywood's desire to replace storylines for vacuous star worship!?! The 80's version using the Toto sound track wasn't great but despite the studio's best attempts to ruin it, the movie was at least a sci-fi political thriller, not just another way to yet again showcase Hollywood's two most popular actors.  Sadly , the corporations & the inevitable shitification of everything for money prevails! I hope they get a particularly painful version of cancer for ruining my favorite sci-fi novel. At least the first movie in this particular series was decent & why I think I was SOOOO disappointed in the second installment BUT it's all going to get worse from here as plot is obviously irrelevant when competing against American cheese (a product that isn't actually cheese, which is why they have to call it "American cheese" as it's just chemicals, fat and salt.) The system works.

  8593. The DNC loves Trump as a way to punish the working class for asking for anything whatsoever that would affect their billionaire donors.  40 years of Neoliberalism has left everyone so desperate that DNC tinkering around the edges, is meaningless. Eventually, after 40 years of failed promises from the DNC to the working class, they're seeing if a strong man is able to deliver at the expense of the most vulnerable in our society, which is the promise of ALL fascists. Trump won't deliver obviously, BUT more importantly his failure will drive the working class back to Corporate Democrats who will offer a kinder version of the same Billionaire friendly agenda with the threat of more authoritarian GOP policies if they dare question their corporate Masters. The sad reality is that the DNC doesn't care if Trump gets elected 3 more times, what they're really concerned about is if Bernie Sanders was to give Americans universal health Care that would cost the insurance industry trillions, if Bernie Sanders would actually educate Americans, which would cost the universities trillions if Bernie was to transition to a green economy which would cost the oil Barons trillions, If Bernie was to stop endless Wars + scale back the military industrial Complex which would cost the War Pigs more than tens of trillions of dollars.  Obviously, they'd have Bernie's ass MLK'd long before he got anywhere near doing any of that But it's easier to put in a charlatan like Trump as a grim reminder that the American people only have two choices, a clown Rodeo show fascist that would take away every right the moment he thinks he can do it OR a corporate kleptocracy of Liberal oligarchs who will gamble everyone's human rights and WW3 for their ability to exploit every one in the working class to their advantage and to destroy the entire world environment so that they can go from super wealthy to insanely depraved wealthy. The system works.

  8600. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate. I mean, after they tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder children & drag America into a middle East regional war for the fifth time!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donors that finally turned on Biden to anoint her candidacy, she will have to pick Shapiro who's absolutely perfect. He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports a complete and total genocide in Gaza, but more importantly shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of this mass slaughter of Palestinian children!!! But that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensures that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's commitment to Wall Street by making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! The system works.

  8614. Yes but smearing Jill Stein is the total purpose of the segment. Here's my argument below. I'm curious as to what you think? Thanks  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........   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........ 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 that unfortunately genocide is the WORST and that 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 even if it's a little bit slower. The DNC MUST LOSE and it needs to be demonstratively because of Gaza. They also need to know that they will lose next time because of Gaza, then they need to understand that they will be in the political wilderness forever because the actual left will not be complicit in the murder of innocent men, women and children. Anything short of that is a recipe for the continued slaughter of people all over the world based on the idea of the "lesser of two evils."    The system works. Let's stop supporting it.

  8656. The fact that the Israelis can't even pretend not to collectively punish the Palestinians (against ALL human Rights law. Ever )for the stated goals of crushing HAMAS (& not just the terrorists in Hamas, but the people as well in Gaza). Netanyahu's goal of not just eliminating Hamas BUT ALSO the, Moderates, even PEACE Negotiators (IDF assassinated the hostage negotiator for Hamas for the Israeli hostages, if that tells you anything!?!) and the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iran and or ALL of the Muslim worlds security apparatus that Israeli's far right secret security service (Israel's CIA, the Mossad, that not only backs the full ethnic cleansing of both Gaza,the west bank and as much as the USA will allow them to murder their way to expropriation of Muslim lands. The reality is that both Gaza and the west bank are not only obviously as both open targets for the IDF, but more importantly, are open targets for the WESTERN security establishment and or more broadly, along with ANY and all people not armed with nuclear weapons to fight back against the west ARE CONSIDERED EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SO ARE IMMEDIATELY EXPENDABLE.These Muslim extremists have been informed that not only will they and all of their people will be merciously slaughtered no matter what agreements they make as they've all have been broken to them so far to accommodate Israel's slaughter campaign without exception. So this lets the entire region understand. No matter what they do, they're most likely going to die as a result of any deals made with a Western government?!?!? Recently in Iran there was a 4.5 Richter scale earthquake, coincidentally damn same Richter scale earthquake measurement is 4.6 for India's 1998 underground nuclear weapons experiment had something extremely similar. All of this, so that the Israelis can merciously slaughter tens of thousands of innocent Muslim women and children in Gaza & Lebanon or Iran?!? !?! What the absolute f*** is going on. Seriously f***, seriously?!?!.

  8678. The loss of Chris Hedges from your show Is why I no longer listen or even tune in, regardless of the subject matter. It's not even that I think you guys are doing bad work or dishonest work. It's just that I know that there's a number of people reporting with similar points of view and with a limited amount of time & money, I now know that when push comes to shove, TRNN abandoned one of the most credible, courageous, respected and credentialed voices of our time without any explanation whatsoever?!?!  Generally, that speaks of cowardice, because if there's any reason that was a legitimate one, even if it was uncomfortable but necessary for a larger purpose, it could be argued in public. However, you did it quietly and let's be honest, if you did it for reasons of political expediency because he was upsetting the exact type of people WE NEED TO UPSET, it means investing anything into your institution is worthless because the moment it becomes relevant, you will sell that person out because it's in your interest to do so. That is not the type of journalism I'm interested in and I'm deeply disappointed in TRNN. If you had the least amount of respect for a man who's risked his life for decades to bring REAL news, You would at least have the decency to explain why you unceremoniously dropped him from TRNN. Name names and explain what losing the most credible journalist of our time's reporting gained TRNN, it's supporters BUT MOST OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO FORCED CHRIS HEDGES OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?!? When the brown shirts come marching in for you, just remember that you sold out your most voracious and unyielding defender of the working class & probably the only person who'd have risked his life to report about yours. You have SO much to answer for........ The system works.

  8693. Israel attacking Iran risks an Iranian retaliation that would set the middle East oilfields on fire, this would drive up the oil $ world energy (think of how the Russian/Ukraine war immediately increased inflation) that would ripple through the world economy and MASSIVELY INCREASE INFLATION FOR EVERYONE!!! Regardless as to how you feel about either Israel, Palestinians or Iranians for that matter, unless you are a billionaire oil field owner in either America, Russia, Mexico, Venezuela or the African dictators that would benefit from a major spike in oil prices, you will experience the worst inflation EVER in the history of humanity as it will not just affect the middle East but the supply chain all through EU/Asia/S. America that is the lifeblood of cheap labor that runs on cheap energy pumped out of the middle East?!? Why would we want to destroy your standard of living and potentially our livelihoods so that Israel can set the region on fire, ALL so that Netanyahu can avoid corruption charges as he can't face justice while he wages war on his neighbors?!?!? Who gives a shit about anyone in the middle East?!?!? As Americans, WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT EITHER PARTY'$ COMPLETE AND TOTAL COMMITMENT TO DESTROYING OUR ECONOMY ALL IN THE SERVICE OF A SMALL COUNTRY HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD, AS HURRICANE VICTIMS LOSE THEIR HOMES? OBVIOUSLY, AMERICANS ARE FINE WITH ALL OF THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MURDERED BROWN KIDS......  HOWEVER, THE REALITY IS THAT IT'S GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE'S LIFE EVERYWHERE MISERABLE JUST TO SUPPORT THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE SO THAT BILLIONAIRES ACROSS THE WORLD CAN GET RICH ON THE OIL SPIKE, MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX & REAL ESTATE FROM DEAD PALESTINIANS?!?! W.T.F!?!? SERIOUSLY....... I'M TERRIFIED OF HOW STUPID AND GREEDY THESE PEOPLE ARE.

  8727. I believe that the fallout from all of these tariffs is going to hurt Canadians very badly, regardless of whoever is in government & they are going to be blamed no matter what they did or didn't do. Therefore, I have a massive concern about the Liberals winning by a hair and then getting slaughtered a few years later by the inevitable massive recession that's coming regardless as to who wins or what agreements they make. As I personally believe the Trump organization is tanking the economy on purpose for a variety of reasons (homeless people don't protest, bankruptcies make for cheap housing BuyBacks that can be turned into rentals, etc). When that happens, nobody is going to remember that PP is a trump wannabe, as PP will just say that he was right and that if you elect him he can make all of their problems instantly disappear. You have to remember that most people are borderline mentally challenged and when under duress they will believe any snake oil salesman who promises a better tomorrow, regardless of the obvious faults in their logic. That's why PP needs to win a minority government, if he does, then he has to work with the NDP which more or less guarantees that he can't do anything crazy and PP will own the inevitable recession. This will inevitably give enough room to the Liberals so that they can credibly say things have changed and Carney can come back with standard neoliberalism, Rather than PP's hyper neoconservatism that sells out the larger Canadian economy, all for oil and resource extraction. I can't stress this enough, if Carney wins and eeks out a 3 or 4-year government, he is going to own the inevitable massive decline in the standard of living of Canadians. When that happens, all of the sad, stupid desperate people who watch the world's most concentrated media of billionaires in the world. Will eventually elect PP in a electoral super majority that allows him to ram through every single possible horrific, conservative wet fever dream, I'm talking destroying all of the CBC, bring back the death penalty for fentanyl dealers, life sentences for drug offenses, DOGE'ing the federal government, a complete militarization of the Canadian Army where we buy f-35s that don't actually work to the tune of trillions, dissolution of the FPCC (Farm Products Council of Canada) and the further erosion of our farming communities, 100's of billions of oil infrastructure investment for a single province and a Doug Ford style privatization of Canada's healthcare to "take pressure off healthcare" by allowing the wealthy to skip the line as the rest of our wait times increase as a result & our quality of care declines because when rich people aren't forced to use the same system as the rest of us, they will defund it accordingly, etc..... The sad reality is Canadians have to be forced to deal with PP's charm offensive on a nightly basis for at least a couple years in order for Canadians to understand what they're buying before he gets a majority government which will 110% f**** happen. If Carney wins he has to wear the the inevitable recession that Trump has planned for the world & PP will eventually be able to tear up any agreement Carney made & sell out Canadian workers to the American Corporations like they did for NAFTA. That's why I'm telling everyone I know to vote their conscience, that means Greens, NDP and god help us all, the PPC. Anything short of that? And they're going to make Cruella Deville Milhouse into Thanos and I'm really not okay with that. Unfortunately, PP is like an STD, it's going to sting for awhile doing our business but it will run its course & we can get back to the usual slow decent into Neoliberalism's boarded up main Street hellscape rather than PP hoisting a 51st flag over Parliament. Not a great choice BUT definitely one with real consequences we need to consider. The system works.

  8749. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & or will sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  8766. Frum arguably contributed to the worst administration in American history, the blowback to these failures eventually led to Trump as their lies on the Iraq war contributed directly to the loss of around $10 trillion over the last 25 years & literally hundreds of thousands of lives?!? Had these Bush W charlatans not been allowed to use a GOP controlled SCOTUS in 2000 to literally steal an election, then "relatively" competent people would have stopped the 9/11 attacks, therefore all that money wouldn't have been wasted or veterans lives or limbs lost. Then there wouldn't have been any 2008 crash but even if there had been, the American treasury would have been able to bail out not just the banks but also enough to help Americans to keep their homes which wouldn't have undermined the entire middle class for Generations?!?! Then there wouldn't have been 20 years of wage stagnation that culminated in so much outrage towards the Establishment that the American people wouldn't have elected a deranged game show host to send a gigantic middle finger to the people who 've ruined their lives and their children live's for generations. Also, The Bush doctrine of expanding NATO to the Russian border, forcing Putin to react, seeing as the last two invading forces of Napoleon and Hitler used the exact same route. The people who keep saying that putting nuclear weapons on the border where 70 years ago the Russian people lost almost 30 million people In literally the bloodiest war in human history, isn't a "big deal" isn't just utterly ridiculous, It's actually insulting to their country that played a decisive role in defeating the Nazis in WW2?!? Now, as a result of Frum's & associates ideological insanity against Russia, Americans haven't invested in 20 years of infrastructure, education for its youth or the ability to pay down debt and or invest in its own future BUT instead made a small group of Frum's Friends in the military industrial complex, even more wealthy at the expense of weakening Americans defense capabilities against its adversaries at every turn, especially China?!? Could you imagine had America spent $10 trillion on advancing their capacity to educate and innovate over the last 20 years, instead of sending our young men and women to die needlessly in a desert to protect the Bush family business of Texas oil with their friends the Saudis?!?! Like Katrina, all of the different disasters and or hurricanes, all that trillions of dollars to rebuild America better so that everyone has jobs?!?! Nope, sorry our friends need that money to get their third home in Israel?!?! Frum should be ashamed of his contribution to his clear contribution to the people's (Cheney's?!?) dedication to profiting off hundreds of thousands of innocent dead Iraqis, thousands of dead American soldiers (not to mention many who killed themselves when they came home short a "couple limbs" & with diseases from burn pits, that returned them from fighting Bush's Illegal Wars against two countries that weren't even the ones who did 9/11?!?!? Seriously, how this has been memory holed, could arguably be one of the greatest crimes of our Generationsy history?!?!?! Unfortunately, Saudi Arabia were bi-partisan bestestest friends forever with the Bush's & Clinton's?!?!! Both parties continue to be crucial recipients of Saudi money as well as diplomatic support to and from, Prince MBS. Still, the massive loss of treasury, which sacrificed investment in America's future in terms of educating the next generation of STEM graduates who are literally the future of anything that will make a country competitive? ( & Why China Is eating America's lunch). We're completely thrown under the bus, as that money was instead given to military contractors that built f-35s that were completely incapable of doing anything they were hired for, to the tune of trillions of dollars. That's just one example of many, many, many others where in fact, they're incapable of accounting for the many trillions of losses that have been purposely misappropriated so that Mr Frum's associates can continue to steal America's future & or any options to actually protect it in a meaningful way. Frum, I can only hope that your complicity in the many crimes against humanity will be documented so that even if you escape justice now, your legacy will be forever tarnished & your family ashamed of the family name. (" Wait, you're a Frum!?! That guy who helped America slaughter all of those people in Afghanistan and Iraq for no reason other than the president had daddy issues and wanted to exploit the middle East for America's purposes & resources? Wow! How shameful!.......) Trump clearly is terrible, but what Bush's people have done is so vastly worse & are directly responsible for the conditions that were absolutely responsible for Trump's Presidency. So much so, that it shocks me to the core when I hear you spew anything about democracy or lying BUT most importantly, the fact that YOU are now more aligned with the DNC's complicity with the military industrial complex while pretending to serve north america, instead of yourself obviously, over the literal thousands of dead bodies who were inconvenient in your pursuit to extract as much money as was humanly possible for any consideration for anyone other than yourself and every nickel you could extrac with total impunity & total disregard for the people's lives you cost or the horrific trail of dead you left in your path. I'd super appreciate you let me know your justification, as I'd like to be able to send it to the people's families you helped Slaughter? Or the people who are mimicking your game plan of Lying their way into murder for profit, to the tunes of billions, if not trillions?!? As I'm sure you're probably a multi -millionaire now and many other similar Republicans & Democrats are looking at what you've accomplished without any conscience!?! Therefore, they've obviously thought about how many tens of thousands of dead brown women and children would it take for them to accomplish the same thing and If there's any possibility to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity that you've managed to profit off from without repercussions?!? The system works.

  8774. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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). 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 P.S. Marianne has even less of a chance than Dr. West, Bernie knows that better than anyone and so should you Kyle.

  8793. Have you ever noticed that PP's solutions are always the ones where Canadian taxpayers reward the industries that specifically donate to PP's campaign to the tune of multimillions, also seems to specifically benefit his particular base of power in the populations that support him specifically? He also seems to be just fine with throwing dairy management + a lot of the priorities of the East coasts industries under the bus as they don't generally tend to support conservatives (just for the record, I like Canadian dairy, milk, eggs, look it up as we get a higher quality product for a better price as I don't want a bunch of chemical hormone garbage that Americans flood our market with). Don't get me wrong, obviously oil and gas is extremely important but let's keep in mind that it's still less than 10% of GDP and the other 90% of the country is more relevant in terms of business and jobs. Also, my concern with PP is that he and Danielle Smith have made it abundantly clear that they will prioritize their people first at the expense of everyone else and considering the fact that NAFTA was originally negotiated under a conservative government which screwed Canadian businesses & workers in the first place so that doesn't't exactly inspire confidence that PP's not going to be willing to throw most Canadians under the bus again to protect himself, his donors & corporate donors again?!? Liberals are terrible BUT at least they have votes everywhere in the country, even some in Alberta + is therefore less likely to do what Danielle Smith did by agreeing to whatever Trump says. Even though he broke his promise less than 3 days later!?! Not encouraging......

  8828. I'm hoping that Dune 3 has EVEN MORE romantically longing stare contests between Paul & his concubine & less of the importance of the Space Guilds relevance for the entire plot, especially if they emphasize the forced romance of a living god's side-girl over the rest of anything concerning the entire universe's reliance on the Guild, and it's direct political tension between all of the houses, Emporer and the importance of the spice?!?! That tension of the political drama & the entire universe hinging on the triangular power balance of these three strategic groups (God king, guild & houses) seems almost totally irrelevant when compared to infatuation. Especially when the two young actors are super hot & stare at each other, like a lot, but like you know, longingly....... Removal of the Guild entirely, even though they are the linchpin of the plot with spice, space travel, their relevance to the Emperor & the Houses just seems pretty irrelevant in comparison to the romance between a living God & his Bae!!!!! Looking forward to more crucial characters being completely sidelined in order to service Hollywood's desire to replace storylines for vacuous star worship!?! The 80's version using the Toto sound track wasn't great but despite the studio's best attempts to ruin it, the movie was at least a sci-fi political thriller, not just another way to yet again showcase Hollywood's two most popular actors. Sadly , the corporations & the inevitable shitification of everything for money prevails! I hope they get a particularly painful version of cancer for ruining my favorite sci-fi novel. At least the first movie in this particular series was decent & why I think I was SOOOO disappointed in the second installment BUT it's all going to get worse from here as plot is obviously irrelevant when competing against American cheese (a product that isn't actually cheese, which is why they have to call it "American cheese" as it's just chemicals, fat and salt.) The system works.

  8831. Let's be clear, I don't like Kennedy as I think he's like the rest of them, a political grifter holding his finger up to see which way the wind blows, especially the fact that he supports the Israeli slaughter of tens of thousands of women and children. However, the fact is he represented a lot of people's views and more importantly, a third party platform, which I think is the most important thing that could potentially save America as both parties just want to make sure that every election is an existential choice between the evil of the other side and that they could use this to ensure the fact that Americans never, ever, under any circumstances whatso f**** ever have a choice, other than the duopoly. Sadly, rfk Jr hasn't lived up to anything he's said in the first place and is clearly now just trying to s*** on the Democrats on his way out, which is understandable considering how completely and dishonorably they have acted in every possible way for him and his families entire lives. The DNC continues to not do anything "democratic" despite their namesake. Let's be honest, they f*** Bernie for two election primaries in a row and didn't even bother whatsoever this time with Kamala as they knew Biden was not capable of running an election & most importantly, Bernie is now also a millionaire which makes him coincidentally, a lot more agreeable. Which is exactly why the DNC had a June debate with Trump. They knew that old man Biden wouldn't listen as he's a megalomaniac and the only way they could get him to step down was to absolutely humiliate him on the world stage by not giving him his proper meds the night of the debate! Or didn't anyone else notice the fact that it was the first time he was laid out to dry by his own people?!?! Truth is that it's been 12 years since any REAL DNC primaries the establishment hasn't rigged and if you consider Obama's terms, it's actually more like 20 years of Neoliberal policies which is exactly the way they like it. Let's be clear, Kennedy called out Joe Biden at the very beginning of Joementia's 2024 campaign as RFK said he wasn't fit to run for office due to mental decline & Said he was genuinely concerned about the Russian, Ukraine conflict along with many other issues the DNC completely ignores.. Again, RFK was mocked openly as Joe was obviously in perfect condition as confirmed by his family and staff, everyone in the DNC Establishment knew he was fine as confirmed by the highest ranking members of the DNC, everyone in the corporate media knew Biden was clearly fit to run for a second term in his late '80s and obviously anyone suggesting otherwise was a conservative troll, who "mocked a stutter" that wasn't present for the last 50 years. Hence, that was the reason to ostracize RFK Jr rather than listen to his concerns about the environment, unlawful restrictions on Americans movements & or speech during covid, the fact that those restrictions destroyed small businesses across the country to the sole benefit, once again, of the massive corporations that also coincidentally had the most to gain from these policies AND donated extremely generously to the DNC. Also, the fact that Ukraine's war with Russia is completely unwinnable, as Russia is a nuclear power, not to mention the fact that losing would be an existential threat to Putin directly and anyone related to him or in his inner circle. This obviously means that they'd understand that their very existence in every conceivable way possible is tied to this war. So?!?! Let's assume Corporate media is correct and Putin is the new Hitler, what do you think Hitler would have done with all of those nuclear bombs once forced into his bunker at the very end of his life with no way out?!?!?! Then there is the uncomfortable fact that it's definitely coming close to a million dead young people from both sides together for no f**** reason whatsoever, except for using them as cruel pawns against Russia so that they are no longer a world power. (Russia is who saved us from the Nazis. Despite what American movies tell us, it was 100% the fact that almost 30 million Russians fought and died against the Nazis and their total and complete drive towards the heart of Germany is what made most Nazis lay down their weapons and accept allied rule because they were understandably terrified of what the Russians were going to do because of all of their horrific crimes committed against the Russian people. Obviously, Americans are deeply, DEEPLY ignorant of this history along with so, so, so, so so so so so much more of world history, let alone their own history. Yet, that doesn't even register how f*** up their choice to want to put NATO nuclear weapons on Russia's border and a standing Army in Ukraine under NATO control, also on the Russian border after the Americans promised for decades to not move 1 inch past east Germany. Then, as Americans ALWAYS DO They proceeded exactly as they'd promised not to and orchestrated a coup in Ukraine in 2014 (before you say anything about this please, for the love of God just do even the most basic research. Everyone knows that the Americans were the ones who helped overthrow the pro-russian government of Ukraine. They even have Victoria Nueland infamously bragging about this very fact.) It's why the Russians took over Crimea and why Obama didn't do anything about it as they were clearly caught for once again orchestrating regime change that wasn't democratically chosen. The spectacular ignorance of the American people in how this all happens over and over and over again is tribute to the efficiency of the bipartisanship of defunding public schools that coincidentally, leaves the American public less able to understand these clear and obvious historical choices. My guess, is that Kennedy figures that Trump is the least likely leader to actually start world War 3 because he doesn't give a s*** about pretty much anything other than himself and he understands that world War 3 will be really hard to get McDonald's in and will be a lot of work with NO profits. However, the polls, corporations and or the Jewish lobby would tell tell the DNC to do the genocide jump and they would not only ask how high but would make sure that anyone else who wasn't begging for the answer was booted from any position of influence (seriously, Kamala has literally gone from Medicare for All to complete capitulation for corporate private insurance, also so many other progressive positions to massively corporate dictated demands on a dime LOL ! She clearly doesn't stand for absolutely f**** anything.) I think Kennedy figures that Trump doesn't actually give a s*** about what anyone thinks, which is actually probably true, however, I also think that Trump would nuke every country in Europe and sleep like a baby if he thought it would make him president for life or if there's a 4th hotter wife in it!!!!! Sadly, the choice is between a megalomaniac, whose sole purpose in life is to climb the ladder, throw anyone under the bus that gets in their way, let's people suffer and die just so that they can get a little bit further ahead and is basically a soulless husk whose only purpose in life is to take MORE.......... AAAaaannd.......... unfortunately, our only other choice is Trump. The system works.

  8847. 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). The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way. HOWEVER, if the fire is stoked purposely by the actual Left, it would tell the Corporate Democrats that breaking almost every promise has consequences or if we are really lucky, public awareness that the duopoly will not only not save us!!!! BUT IS ACTIVELY WORKING AGAINST ALL WORKER'S INTERESTS (Even if you make $100,000 a year) and force regular people to understand that after the Palestinians/LEBANESE, it WILL EVENTUALLY BE the country their families are from next. Not to mention the fact, that they're also in the same boiling pot of climate change & that the next climate catastrophe is going to be the pretext for ushering in boots on the ground fascism or disaster in their region that will ALSO have to be ignored in order to PRIORITIZE the ongoing slaughter of the middle East's Muslim people to satiate the blood lust and regional hegemonic intentions of Israel's elite, it's co-conspirators in the American security establishment and of course the ultra wealthy Israeli lobby groups that are more concerned about regional domination than its own people that are ignored along with thier families, THE HOSTAGES!?!?! The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote third party, knowing full well that it will more than likely elect Donald Trump and that you are proud of it because it's better than voting for Kamala's kinder, gentler genocide. 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 as it expands across the region. 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 are 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 f***ing genocide is concerned!?! Kamala is an empty vessel to be filled with the military industrial complex's murderous interests for not only Gaza BUT obviously the broader region & the next place they intend to invade once they've executed every last Muslim man, woman and child. (Sadly, I originally wrote this previous to the Lebanese mass murder campaign of Netanyahu BUT iT WAS COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE AS THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT HAS TOLD US THIS WAS F***ING PLAN.) 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 & will continue to act accordingly. I'm not saying that the Trump presidency is good in any way and will NOT ONLY be a tragic loss of life but will also threaten everything we hold dear as people who care about our ENTIRE community not just our demographic ❤️. What I'm saying is that once we accept genocide as the lesser of two evils, we are no longer human beings but animals who are willing to do anything to survive and I would rather die as a human being defending the dignity of all people, rather than as a Savage animal, killing everything instinctively in its path as an excuse to ignore the humanity of others. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Vote Green 💚

  8872. Trump isn't allowed to implement a tariff trade war unless he gets direct approval from Congress. Unless of course, it is related to "security" which could be argued is border related. The fact that the amount of drugs and or immigrants coming from Canada is less than literally 1% of what's coming from Mexico, says quite a bit about his intentions. The reality is that Trump wants to squeeze Canada's economy for massive trade concessions (by forcing Trudeau out, Trump can then rely on Poilievre to sell out Canadian workers to corporate America like the Conservatives did on NAFTA & China FIPA) and also force us to buy f-35s to the tune of hundreds of billions that don't even work?!? All just to line the pockets of the military industrial Complex and American corporations competing with Canadian companies?!? NATO is just a way for the USA to threaten other countries in order to extract corporate profits & get Canadians to pay for it with NO BENEFITS FOR US?!? I have no idea why people are so excited to support the looting of our tax base with a shakedown by a deranged gameshow host?!? Canadian's deep ignorance of history, economics, media literacy and world affairs is going to cost not only us but our children and probably generations after if we ever recover. Before you respond, I need you to answer this, "Trump said he wants to use economic warfare to force Canada into being the "51st state," and you trust anything that his says or the people in agreement with him!??!?! Don't get me wrong, John Baird was Minister of foreign affairs and he did great!!

  8903. While RFK Jr is not only fighting for YOUR medical Rights, Human rights, children's rights, Peace & ensuring that people are humanely considered and treated within a fair and balanced system, & especially how inconvenient "mandates" were and of course his complete commitment to mortality....... *Except of course if you are a Palestinian child, in which case over 10000 (definitely more) of them have died from lead poisoning, fed to them externally at over 500 ft per second which doesn't seem to matter to the moral giant RFK Jr or any of the other Christians clearly not interested in what Christ had to say?!?! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure RFK's still WAY better than the majority of these DNC or RNC monsters who supported the same shameless slaughter of innocent children everywhere BUT when Glenn ignores RFK'S own moral failings, Glenn leaves HIS credibility exposed to selective "moral outrage" that only applies to Democrats, who are 110% deserving of it, if not MORE, especially considering they pretend to be the arbitrators of morality themselves while applying that code even more selectively than RFK jr to say the f'n least!!!!! So, this isn't to say Glenn hasn't mentioned RFK'S moral failures before and I don't expect or even want Glenn to bring it up every couple minutes either BUT rather than hinging Glenn's argument on RFK Jr's absolute commitment to the struggle for medical justice, openness in government, I'd have just preferred Glenn said he's going after them without any of the morality preamble?!? Especially considering Rfk OPENLY supports an active pro-ethnic cleansing Israeli government, who are purposely starving children to death!?!? KNOWING full well the dire health consequences to those Palestinian kids WHO ARE NOT FULLY, LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAMAS HAS DONE OR THEIR PARENTS UNDER ANY CONSIDERATIONS OF WAR. ANYWAYS, kids....... 14 and under  (* I think it's unfair to put a child or anyone for that matter into a pressure cooker religious open-air prison where they've starved for literally generations and then ask them to rise above their conditions & peacefully seek a solution despite their families and children being brutally executed for over 70 years?!? I certainly wouldn't have that moral fortitude myself BUT I also don't claim any area as a religious Holy land (either of them!?!) that I need to sacrifice my actual children to in the name of my God and therefore any sacrifices are worth it?!? I'd just move but that's not the point! Point being, murder is murder and most kinds of religious understanding is not to accept it under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES except for ACTUAL LEGITIMATE SELF DEFENSE (The kind where people are in the actual act of killing you and then you kill them defending yourself in combat rather than bombing children cowering in tents from a few kilometers away moving faster than the speed of sound) However, for the overwhelming majority of human history, if you execute an act of War, then you are culpable and bare the consequences of those choices, just like the people you killed. With that said, 14-year-old's who get a gun rammed in their back and are strapped up with explosives and told that their families are going to be murdered, "If they don't do what they are told, they are commanded to, by the apostles of God?!?! These "children"  do not carry the same moral culpability as the rest of us, as they're incapable of understanding the reality of letting your entire family being raped, tortured & murdered for their one God, as a consequence for the denial to carry out the act of God's word as commanded by his Righteous Apostle. Anyone, who says that a tween with roughly less than a 10O months on earth should be morally culpable for his actions based on the worst circumstances literally on Earth, is either being totally disingenuous, is also an immoral religious zealot & or is an a****-ish moron.  """"HORRIFIC, BUT IT MUST BE ADDRESSED,"""" DESPITE THESE 15-17 YEAR OLD ARE "ADULTS" (At this age, I don't honestly believe you are fully culpable for your actions, however, if you were carrying a weapon of war that has the power to destroy other people's lives then unfortunately you are now acting as an adult. Yet 15-17 year olds WHO'S BRAINS HAVE NEVER ENJOYED ADEQUATE NUTRITION TO FULLY FORM, ARE EXPECTED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, REGARDLESS OF THEM NEVER HAVING BEEN IN CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES, EVER, EVEN ONCE ARE BEING INSTANTLY CONVICTED ON SIGHT (BROWN, EQUALS MUSLIM, WHICH MEANS GUILTY) BY VIRTUE OF BEING THERE. PUNISHMENT WITHOUT EVIDENCE CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING WHICH INCLUDES BUT NOT RESTRICTED TO; LOSS OF ALL MATERIAL ASSETS & or loss of GENERATIONAL FAMILY RESIDENCE PERMANENTALY, DEATH, DEATH & TORTURE, DEATH OF ENTIRE FAMILY & OR TORTURE, & OR MULTIPLE SEXUAL ASSAULTS Glenn, I hate the DNC, RNC and the establishment that supports both these corrupt parties but once RFK Jr enthusiastically cheered for the Israeli killing spree as most "Palestinians are the most pampered people on earth," in their open air prison while & embraced the duopoly he lost the "benefit of the doubt" especially considering the understanding these kids will be stalked by not only the extremely painful memories of watching family members murdered in front of them as well as slowly becoming emaciated until death by what I'm told is the most excruciating way to go, starvation BUT EVERY GENERATION WILL SUFFER A MYRIAD OF HEALTH CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL NOT JUST AFFECT THEM BUT THEIR CHILDREN, AS WELL AS THIER GRANDCHILDREN ( Just look up the many research papers on the survivors of Auschwitz and other concentration camps around the world, there is many provable ongoing issues that affect some of the victims to this day.)  Anyone claiming moral superiority while also not speaking out about this diminishes their credibility in every possible way. I genuinely hope that RFK Jr really does have the best interest of Americans at heart, but anyone who can turn A blind eye to children's starving to death is a person I can't trust or understand and why you are placing your credibility on him is something I don't understand and find very disturbing?!?! I hope you are right for Everyone's sake!?!?

  8926. Hey boys!?!? I think it's high time that we're actually honest about why the left sells out. The reality is that if you call out The Deep State and security establishment, at the minimum they will ignore any legitimate threats against your life and realistically speaking, they will have you JFK'd or MLK'd if you don't tow the party line and legitimately threaten the power structure of the elite. So let's stop pretending that going up against them is just a matter of being unpopular with media. The reality is anyone who goes up against these people and what they represent has every reason to believe that they will be, or a loved one, murdered by either our government or someone our government ignores so that they can murder someone they don't support. Until we recognize and acknowledge this glaring fact. We will not be able to bring in the type of people who are willing to face these se very real threats. Also, without acknowledging the truth of this matter, you will also not be able to prepare with security and the structures of money that supports real defense against malissa and murderous regime that will do anything to crush descent. Could you imagine, if the movement had actually put in a massive amount of money to protect JFK, RFK, MLK, Malcolm x, Harvey Milk, and on and on and on? And on not to mention all of the developing world leaders who were mercile killed by the security establishment. The reality is that they were killed for a specific purpose and that purpose continues to this very day. Until we acknowledge the very real threat that AOC carries each and every day while we judge her for not carrying out our expectations yet we don't protect her in any meaningful way or anyone else in that very vulnerable position. The system works. All you need to know that it's working is to look at the body count...........

  8959. Phew! I was really worried that all those murdered Palestinian children killed by Netanyahu with the enthusiastic support of the DNC would have been an issue?!?  Luckily, Kamala can pretend to not support the genocide until after the election, just like Obama pretended he didn't support Wall Street!  Just lie about helping the working class and then reward the banks after its too late! Finally the establishment has agreed Harris will do what she's told, just like Obama. I mean if you're children are going to be massacred, its SO IMPORTANT that they are buried under rubble by the FIRST BLACK WOMAN president!!!!!  I'm sure all the Palestinian parents scraping up what remains of their children into plastic bags will feel like progress has been made.  The system works! P.S. If you're interested in someone who's still concerned about the ongoing genocide in Gaza and isn't distracted/placated by the usual identity politics that somehow justifies the ongoing slaughter of innocent children. Then I suggest you go check out the "Bad Faith" podcast with Brianna Gray Joy. Her last guest is the leader of vote non committed movement in the DNC primaries, what their plan is now that they've switched to Kamala and how they're going to respond to the old switcheroo which ultimately offers more of the same. I have to be a 110% honest, Kamala Harris has zero ideological commitments to ANYTHING other than her own self-interest (2019 has her as left of Bernie, four short years later and she's prosecutor again.). As horrible as Biden is, there is no way on God's green f**** Earth that Kamala would have withstood the pressure coming from the military industrial complex, to withdraw from Afghanistan, let alone stand up to the most powerful lobby groups on Earth, Israels.  We need to start addressing these facts now as it's not going to be enough to say we didn't know this was going to happen. We've seen this playbook before, Obama did the exact same f**** thing. He promised hope and change and then delivered trillions of taxpayer dollars to bailout the people who destroyed the economy while delivering eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black Americans, which is why a black president was appreciated to deliver the message. Just like how Margaret Thatcher was a Kinder gentler version of how to destroy unions and communities with a woman's touch. I find this f**** disgusting and the fact that Sam isn't even mentioning anything of it tells you exactly what side is bread is f**** buttered on.  I get it, Trump is obviously a monster too. But at least he says he's a f**** monster and isn't the one saying one thing while literally providing 2, 000lbs bombs to murder God damn children, I want to repeat that for f*** sake. Kamala and the DNC have been supporting the deaths of tens of thousands of children. Innocent children, while the Congress stands an open ovation for the man who has bragged about murdering children.  The system works.

  8960. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate. I mean, after they tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder children & drag America into a middle East regional war for the fifth time!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donors that finally turned on Biden to anoint her candidacy, she will have to pick Shapiro who's absolutely perfect. He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports a complete and total genocide in Gaza, but more importantly shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of this mass slaughter of Palestinian children!!! But that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensures that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's commitment to Wall Street by making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! The system works.

  8966. Obama ran on codifying Roe versus Wade as his first act in office 2008. He was elected with a super majority but decided against making it law once in office as it was politically advantageous to have the RNC's anti-abortion stance as a credible threat to women's health. Obama & the DNC used women's reproductive Rights as a threat to force people into supporting corporate Democrats, who refused to to codify Roe for crass political gains at the expense of women's lives. The DNC purposely failed women's rights to advance their political agenda as they know that voters want Bernie Sanders BUT the DNC KNOWS that by cynically allowing Republicans to overturn Roe it will FORCE people who are furious about the anti-democratic/pro billionaire tendencies of the DNC to still vote for unpopular DNC candidates WHO OBVIOUSLY DON'T REPRESENT WORKING PEOPLE'S INTERESTS in the hope that they at least protect women's basic health needs.....this time. The DNC was right unfortunately, despite being historically unpopular for their utter refusal to do the overwhelming majority of Biden's campaign promises to the Left & or their overwhelming commitment to genocide, regular people have come out for the last 3 elections to protect themselves against the DNC enabled theocratic GOP's agenda to restrict women's reproductive healthcare despite the fact that the DNC doesn't represent the views of the overwhelming majority of the working class. Sadly, we know that the DNC has purposely placed them in a position to either support the DNC's commitment to murdering Brown Muslim children or losing their reproductive healthcare rights, which was all done on purpose.  The system works People can't articulate why they f**** hate the system but this type of s*** is everywhere.

  9002. I think it's an important part of history, the most influential and successful. anti-Imperial anti-capitalist, pro-worker organization ever in America, the black Panthers and specifically what happened to them. First, because the police and politicians in America were so corrupt and racist that they could indiscriminately beat and murder black people pretty much anywhere 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, they educated themselves and then they organized while reaching up to the community. Not just to make sure that they felt secure, but also through programs, education, medical programs, business , food programs for everyone in their community. It did not go unnoticed by the powers that be in the security apparatus as well as their handlers. The obvious result was that everyone was murdered or imprisoned for life. So just to be clear on the stakes of endeavor is if you do ever organized anything that's actually successful and genuinely threatens The establishment, you should expexct swiftly without remorse the same result. Those are the stakes you're playing for and unless you are very clear about that, I think you not only do yourself a disservice to the mission but also endanger people who aren't prepared for what's coming next. The system works and it won't stop working until everyone's dead and they own everything. Unfortunately that's just how it is and it's time we start to address it as such. Unfortunately, class war is still in fact War. Therefore, it has casualties, collateral damage and massive losses to the side that is losing which is the left to be clear. Without the acknowledgment of those odds, do not begin to build a credible plan to fight or win. I think it's worth one's life, I just believe it's important that everyone knows that's what it's for. .

  9010. O'BRIEN IS A CLASS TRADER. The most important thing is that Jeremy Corbyn doesn't get to help the working class, NHS, transportation and especially Gaza, that was always more important than anything David Cameron did. I mean could you imagine if Corbyn impeded the needless slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children? (Actually looking at 100,000 now?!?!) But more importantly, O'Brien has helped contribute to the needless slaughter by falsely smearing Corbyn as an anti-semite without any evidence whatsoever to give Netanyahu a blank check for genocide because O'Brien is a f**** coward. Their disgusting complicity with the pro Israeli military media establishment to ensure the IDF never had to deal with any kind of humanitarian law is not only staggeringly immoral but should be arguably crimes against humanity. Every time I see another dead Palestinian child as a result of these assholes cowardice and complicity on the far right wing Netanyahu government makes me not just sad but extremely angry for the obvious reasons that UK Labour party insiders & their establishment Elites gave them cover to carry out their genociday onslaught. O'Brien's complicity in Israel's crimes against humanity with literally tens of thousands of murdered Palestinian children does everything you need to know about O'Brien and his actual priorities. O'Brien is well aware of what happened to Jeremy Corbin fighting against the needless torture and apartheid of Palestinians and clearly chose the side of money. That's why sangeeta is gone and he is still there. It's not luck, it's a very specific choice because he's a total piece of s***.  I'm sure this will get taken down as most of my comments are because they are true, which is deeply offensive to most liberals who don't want to own the obvious facts.  However, I hope O'Brien or one of his minions let him know that some of us understand that he helped kill Palestinian children because it made him money and his life easier while he let his coworker (Corbyn )go down flames with not so much as a whisper. He is as close as you can get to a Nazi collaborator; he's not admitting Israeli criminal facts, he's not calling out the obvious IDF misinformation that has been debunked by multiple legitimate news organizations, he's not commenting on all of the many obvious humanitarian mass murder crimes of the IDF and he is definitely letting them do whatever they need to while providing a thin veil of legitimacy as a liberal "journalist" and that is the most dangerous of all as it gives cover to crimes against humanity. O'Brien is either deeply corrupt and or extremely ignorant of the obvious facts.  Regardless of how you feel about Hamas, they were made the de facto government of the Gaza strip by Netanyahu himself. Netanyahu is specifically the person who made sure that they maintained complete control and is the one who made sure that they had funding to keep an iron grip on the people. To hold the Palestinian people accountable because of what Netanyahu decided and his far-right racist xenophobic lunatics is not only insane but clearly shows that O'Brien has zero consideration for the literal tens of thousands of dead children. O'brie 's complicity in the smearing of Jeremy Corbin as an anti-semite with no evidence whatsoever is one of the reasons that he is not the Prime Minister currently, even though he received more votes than Starmer in either 2017 or 2019. I hope O'Brien understands that had he not only purposely lied about Corbyn cousin further damage and lies of the NHS, further losses to the educational system and so many other things. The civic society but also the literal dead thousands and thousands and thousands of Palestinian children, women and old folks who may have been saved if he cared about any other than himself.  It's hard not to be more disgusting than I am currently with starmer, but I have a strong suspicion. He's going to show me that no matter how low you are, you can always go lower.  The system works.

  9013. I'd LOVE a stripped down version of these that just built whatever they had available parts wise for the best options for rally car racing that was cost effective and replaceable for continued use. This would mean that clients would accept some openess to whatever was available for the build. Maybe that would give them first right of refusal and or an option on something that's more fancy with additional costs. This would allow for a commitment to a quality product BUT not a ridiculous unnecessary impractical vehicle that either the client or customer would be locked into. This would allow for more options as they don't need everything to be perfection in terms of vehicle styling and could allow for higher upper end vehicles and MUCH lower end options for vehicles that are more interested in the driving experience and the rest of the build is negotiable. I think this could have helped their sales as most of us, especially me. LOL! Taken a high quality frame and then whatever they had at hand that could have been updated at a later date including the shell and or any of the other parts. That way you could buy it and enjoy it immediately, but plan to improve it as a long-term strategy that didn't me had to spend the extra $100,000 she didn't have. Just the record, I have no idea what I'm talking but and it's just a fantasy. I own a signage company and there is a number of sign frames that I've built for restaurants and a couple of high-end companies where I know they're going to have expectations to change certain frames sooner than later. So I always drop a few extra bolt hole patterns when I frame their signs to begin with. I always charge them later for custom LOL but I planned it at the beginning. That's the only reason why and I still think it's a great idea, but obviously I don't know enough with the engineering of retro mod. That makes a huge difference later. I really wish I did!

  9025. Frum contributed to arguably the worst administration in American history, as their lies on the Iraq war contributed directly to the loss of around 10 trillion over the last 25 years & literally hundreds of thousands of lives. Had these Bush W charlatans not been allowed to use a GOP controlled SCOTUS in 2000 to literally steal an election, then competent people would have stopped the 9/11 attacks, therefore all that money wouldn't have been wasted or veterans lives or limbs lost. Then there wouldn't have been any 2008 crash but even if there had been, the American treasury would have been able to bail out not only the banks but also enough to help Americans to keep their homes. Then there wouldn't have been 20 years of wage stagnation that culminated in so much outrage towards the Establishment that the American people elected a deranged game show host to send a gigantic middle finger to the people who 've ruined their lives and their children live's for generations. Also, The bush doctrine of expanding NATO to the Russian border forcing Putin to react as the last two invading forces of Napoleon and Hitler used the exact same route. These people keep saying that putting nuclear weapons on the border where 70 years ago the Russian people lost almost 30 million people isn't a big deal is f**** ridiculous. Now as a result of Frum's & Pals ideological ideas, Americans haven't invested in 20 years of infrastructure, education for its youth or the ability to pay down debt and or invest in its future but instead made a small group of Frum's Friends in the military industrial complex, extremely more wealthy while weakening America against its adversaries at every turn, especially China. Could you imagine had America spent $10 trillion on advancing their capacity to educate and innovate over the last 20 years instead of sending our young men and women to die needlessly in a desert?!?! Frum, if not arrested, should at least be so ashamed to show his face that it would make more sense to smear his face in feces, then to have anything come out of his mouth, other than, "I am so sorry and ashamed of what I have done to America and the world." Trump clearly sucks, but what Bush's people have done is so vastly worse & are directly responsible for Trump's Presidency, that it shocks me to the core when I hear them spew anything and more importantly, the fact that they are now aligned with the DNC is extremely concerning to say the f**** least.

  9026. ​ @JGold-cu5mo Frum contributed to arguably the worst administration in American history, as their lies on the Iraq war contributed directly to the loss of around 10 trillion over the last 25 years & literally hundreds of thousands of lives. Had these Bush W charlatans not been allowed to use a GOP controlled SCOTUS in 2000 to literally steal an election, then competent people would have stopped the 9/11 attacks, therefore all that money wouldn't have been wasted or veterans lives or limbs lost. Then there wouldn't have been any 2008 crash but even if there had been, the American treasury would have been able to bail out not only the banks but also enough to help Americans to keep their homes. Then there wouldn't have been 20 years of wage stagnation that culminated in so much outrage towards the Establishment that the American people elected a deranged game show host to send a gigantic middle finger to the people who 've ruined their lives and their children live's for generations. Also, The bush doctrine of expanding NATO to the Russian border forcing Putin to react as the last two invading forces of Napoleon and Hitler used the exact same route. These people keep saying that putting nuclear weapons on the border where 70 years ago the Russian people lost almost 30 million people isn't a big deal is f**** ridiculous. Now as a result of Frum's & Pals ideological ideas, Americans haven't invested in 20 years of infrastructure, education for its youth or the ability to pay down debt and or invest in its future but instead made a small group of Frum's Friends in the military industrial complex, extremely more wealthy while weakening America against its adversaries at every turn, especially China.

  9039. If only Americans had voted for Hilary Clinton, things would be totally different!?!?!?! Or, if the DNC hadn't forced the American middle class to PAY a larger percentage of their income then multi-billionaire DNC donors. Or, had they not supported all of the unnecessary wars that bankrupted America but enriched all of their friends in the military industrial complex. Or, if the DNC under B. Clinton hadn't imprisoned the most people EVER in a first world country (which coincidentally were overwhelming black and brown people). Or, if they had not further hollowed out the middle class with trade agreements that favored offshoring jobs to destroy unions. Or, if the DNC hadn't fully embraced the same neoliberalism that made offshoring all of those jobs not only possible but extremely profitable. Or, if the DNC had not helped to destabilize governments all over the world that coincidentally enriched their donor's international corporations while also coincidentally driving up a massive refugee crisis with the very people they forced from their homes by those same corporate friendly policies that caused the sad & desperate mass exodus of refugees. Or, all the neoliberal broken promises and lies that led to the election of Trump in the first place. OBVIOUSLY, Clinton wouldn't have done exactly what the donors of Biden or Obama did for all the exact same reasons as the interests of the Military industrial complex, Israel, Ukraine and of course the donors (of which, the majority coincidentally & stock portfolios of ALL 3 branches of government. This means that every "war" they approve is not only extremely profitable along with politically expedient. Nope, we'd ALL be living in Hillary Clinton's neoliberal Paradise!!!!!!!!!!! The system works.

  9085. Lol, yeah good luck with using Trump fact checks to somehow save this from the obvious disaster that it was. Dementia Joe, who he will obviously now be called because genocide Joe doesn't make sense, as he's clearly not in charge & says everything about the Democrat party. The white house is obviously run by a bunch of goddamn donors and the people who control Washington and not that dodering old man who can't goddamn string two f**** sentences together. Clearly, Biden will not be running for president as he should be sent to an old-timers home as anyone with any goddamn eyes or ears can understand. The real question, is the obvious fact that they would rather Trump win then to do anything for the American people because any sort of primary would have brought in a Bernie Sanders which the DNC despises because they wouldn't agree with genocide or billionaires paying their fair share of taxes and universal healthcare for Americans like any other normal first world country. Obviously, we're all going to die as a result of the dnc's complete and total capitulation to the donor class, the Israelis and The military industrial complex. I can't describe how angry I am, wait. I think I just did.......... How the f*** can they justify this completely horrific s**show that's coming down the pipe?!?! You people suck, the mainstream media sucks and worst of all Joe Biden sucks so bad that he makes Trump look reasonable. F** you & the billionaires who run America. I guess we understand now why Biden is Netanyahu 's B****.

  9123. I can't help but shake the feeling that Jon Stewart got the same talk that Bernie Sanders got or AOC when they started focusing attention on the "wrong people." The one that says, "hey, listen it's okay to mess around at the edges because that doesn't f*** with billionaires money or the security establishmen's ability to suppress democracy BUT if you keep f**** around and riling up the "poor's" or even worse the lower middle classes, then a "lone wolf" could get you MLK'd?!?! I'm sure the establishment reminds them that JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King and Malcolm x (not mentioning that all leaders in every other country for the last 70 years who tried to represent their people fairly were either imprisoned, destroyed through blackmail, coups and assassinated) were all just fine when they were uselessly crying about civil rights, however, once they tied it to the working class, its relation to the military industrial complex and organized the working class that united the Right & Left sides on an understanding that they were BOTH being exploited by the same people, they were ALL assassinated within a year by "lone wolves." Convenient....... The system works P.S. I have come to the conclusion that there needs to be a massive movement similar to freeing Assange for the full and unredacted JFK assassination dossier which will I'm sure exposed the CIA & how they worked with the mafia to assassinate a president that didn't want world War 3. I think, they'll be able to show that President Johnson was complicit in this crime and it has affected every foreign policy and arguably domestic policy as a result ever since? Until the American people can be clearly told that the usa's secret police murdered their President for trying to bring Peace to the world so that the Establishment could deny things like universal Healthcare, infrastructure, education for all Americans so that they can compete in a world market and most importantly a free and open society where The security establishment can't use the threat of enemies abroad as a way to erode all civil liberties for Americans that the founders fought and died for. The system works.

  9130. Let's all remember that CTV is owned by billionaires and that they hate the liberal/NDP coalition government and have supported the conservatives and their tax breaks for billionaires in almost every single election. I'm no fan of the Liberals, but let's be honest, the conservatives are going to give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy (mainstream media), service cuts to everyone else, slightly less mass immigration (look up the numbers, the Cons are almost exactly the same on immigration) and of course petty cruelty to anyone who needs help like veterans, the disabled or anyone else who can't help the conservatives get more power and money. If you don't believe me, look up their record or I can send it to you if you want. I understand hating Trudeau, he's a bumbling imbecile but sadly Pierre is something much more dangerous. Pierre is actually very smart and he knows how to manipulate people into voting against their own interests. Don't get me wrong, I get that people are going to do that anyways because they are grossly ignorant of the facts of Pierre's voting record in the 9 years of the Harper government & it's relentless support of corporations and the ultra wealthy. But eventually those choices will come home to roost and people will remember why they kicked out Harper and almost 10 years of debt-ridden government broken promises. Sadly, it'll be after Pierre sells off a bunch of important Canadian infrastructure/land just like Harper did on his last year in government to the highest bidder in order to pretend that he balanced the budget (could you imagine selling your house and then having to rent it from the new owners while telling your family that the balance sheet looks good as your money goes to the landlord every month?!?!).  The conservatives ran out the back door with bags of money (Cons foreign minister Baird literally left government & worked for a Chinese billionaire and a f##$ing Gold mine. It's f**** cartoonish?!?!). Clearly, Pierre is one of the greatest snake oil salesman of our time, even more depressing is that the Canadian people will have to pick up the tab as always on the back of working Canadians. P.s. had Trudeau actually ended first-past-the-post system (FPTP) which he campaigned on and then didn't bring in proportional representation because it allowed Liberals to rule unopposed is why we are going to have a majority conservative government (last time it was 34% of the electorate that voted for conservatives but won a majority )even though the overwhelming majority of Canadians actually don't support that. I understand how much we all f**** hate Trudeau, he is a selfish, entitled horrible piece of s*** that has doomed Canada for the next generation because of his selfishness to conservative corporate rule. F*** Trudeau I hope he gets rectal cancer. The system works.

  9146. The neoliberal "middle" of both the center Left and Right that has destroyed the middle class through "free" trade deals that favor Corps over workers, corruption of government that protects the billionaires and of course foreign wars that destroy the economy while wasting precious resources that are needed at home is precisely why people chose populist authoritarian governments. It's this neoliberal consensus of both corporate sides Left/Right that has popularized the Far-right and is responsible for this inevitable slide because of the failed policies that reward the ultra wealthy at the expense of everyone else. When workers are told you can't have ANY socialist policies that helps EVERYONE because immigrants and minorities will bankrupt the country, however, not telling them that's because we give a trillion dollars to the military industrial complex to destabilize the world further and drive up inflation. Therefore, they're given a choice, you can support equality for everyone that will destroy their standard of living or they can have the far right policies that promises material improvements to THEIR LIVES ONLY, that's at the expense of everyone else because that's still in service to the billionaire class, guess what they are going to choose........ The people tried to choose Bernie Sanders & Corbyn twice, but the DNC & Labour and the billionaire donors who owns the party apparatus & media, rigged the process because neither men would serve corporate interests exclusively. The next most popular thing on that list of anti-establishment choice of angst against the corrupt establishment was Trump/Johnson. Now the DNC doesn't even have primaries as the people can't be trusted to put the establishment's interests first and wonder why people are either filled with resentment or complete apathy!?!?! Today, there's thousands of Americans dead from hurricanes, hundreds more are missing and millions are displaced with no hope in sight. In the last 2 years, $40 billion was for FEMA, while well over 200 billion has been spent on the USA killing people all over the world which drives up inflation, undermines American interests everywhere and drives us all towards world War III!?!?! All in the interest that a very, very, small group of extremely wealthy people can be slightly more wealthy and steal the lands of people who'd been there for literally thousands of years?!?!? But tell me again about how it's social media, Fox News, twitter, racism, misogyny, homophobia or anything else other than the fact that people are forced into a choice of us or them?!?!? People aren't actually evil, they're stupid and scared which makes for a very poor decision making aunt. When you add in pressure, propaganda with a healthy dose of incentives to do the bad thing and massive sticks to do the right things, it is pretty clear what's going to happen. This was not an accident, it's clearly the plan. The system works The DNC base tried to vote for Bernie twice and as punishment for not choosing a corporate prostitute, they weren't even allowed to have a primary this time and were forced to get behind Kamala, who couldn't even make it into the primaries last time as Andrew Yang was more popular. "If you don't give us the ballot, expect the bayonet" Vote 3rd party If you think elections actually mean anything anymore but more importantly, organize your community as things are going to get much, much worse, as you can ask the people of Flint, Michigan if the government is coming to help.........

  9153. Well, RT clearly reports in a biased manner to push a Russian agenda. Similar to how the BBC'S reporting on Gaza is completely biased in favor of the Labour party's preferred people. Just based on how basic terms are used like.......... When an Israeli is killed, they are, "slaughtered by Hamas islamic terrorists." However, when it comes to western governments killing indigenous peoples or Gazans, it's more like, "87 Palestinians, including mostly women and children were killed yesterday when a building collapsed on them while taking shelter for the 3rd time." Like some natural disaster befell them, rather than the obvious fact that they were targeted with a 2000 lbs bombs to kill everyone in an entire city block or more, including 3 stories underground and collapse all 20-40 stories or more and every family in the building FOR ONE SINGLE HAMAS SOLDIER. The Palestinians deranged religious fanatics but the most sophisticated weapons on Earth, by the most technical Army on Earth, backed by the largest and most advanced Army in the history of humanity, ever can kill every single man, women and child in an entire city block for the question or mercy isn't even mentioned. Other than that the building "collapsed." For liberal media, Israelis are always being butchered by insane Muslim jihadists with no mercy or reason. *Except for the Arabs being cruel anti-Semitic lunatics...... Obviously, Israel dropping 2,000 lb bombs indiscriminately killing literally hundreds & vaporizing or slow roasting small babies as they scream for mercy for hours or days that often goes without answers as unfortunately Palestinians medic's understand that the Israeli soldiers are trained to use the cries of burning children to lure out people in order to either murder them BUT more often to severely wound or maim those First Responders/medical teams to further diminish The Palestinian people's ability to have medical care, but more importantly to sow terror within the communities BUT More importantly, make sure that they're burdened with more crippled people who there are no care for. As Israel refuses any medical assistance for any of the people they helped cripple. Therefore, listening to children burn to death slowly sends It's just more practical + has the further benefit of sending an important message that nobody cares about their humanity and that they should probably leave Gaza so that the settlers can take the land as no one in the west cares enough to even say they were " purposely maimed and slaughtered to send a message two other Palestinians. Nope, they have to use the passive voice of perhaps something more like five more Palestinians died yesterday in Gaza." Therefore, because Liberals conside Muslim Palestinians as less than human, the passive language is always used to describe their deaths. As technically they don't count as human beings that should be considered in the same way as European or Americans. This extremely particular fact. That is a very huge part of Western media is not only the reason why it's not actually legitimate information, but more importantly considered propaganda by anyone who actually has any information or any understanding of how the world actually works and is viewed anywhere else in the world as obviously propaganda that only people willfully ignorant of the facts could possibly convince themselves made any sense. The system works.

  9160. Kamala conceded because ALL of her BILLIONAIRE donors are super excited about ALL the DEREGULATION & TAX BREAKS they will soon enjoy at the expense of the working class, while the pretence of Democracy is maintained by the mainstream media who profits from maintaining the status quo on the false narrative that there's a fundamental difference between BOTH corporate parties, who clearly represent the oligarchy & not anyone who doesn't have at least 7 decimal points after their names. Obviously OUR media is there to Manufacture Consent at the expense of the working class and using identity politics as a way to accuse working people concerned about immigration of being racists if they are white and of course misogynist if they are people of color and or Communists if they don't agree with exploiting workers that have to pay the most expensive rent in recent human history!!!!! The fact that Democrats can say with this straight faced , "they represent democracy, while they spend trillions of dollars to murder citizens of Democratic countries, they use corporate money from businesses that have literally poisoned millions of Americans and have immediately dedicated Media to ignoring hurricane victims while they sent hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine for a war that everyone knows is obviously unwinnable against a nuclear-armed power, 10 times the size, without starting World War 3. This uncomfortable FACT, says everything about how absolutely corrupt they are. Even the American people aren't that stupid anymore!??!?!? The system works.

It must be so difficult to debate Bri when you're only retort is, "government bad, defund everything except if I personally benefit, i don't have anywhere near the education or experience as Bri, so Israel is OK regardless of how many Palestinian children are murdered because I was hired to say as much."   Robby, being a Libertarian makes sense when you are homeschooled, white and an upper class male BUT it wholly unprepares you to debate someone with real political experience.    Bri was a communications director for the most important 3rd party candidate in a couple centuries, has a law degree from Harvard on her own dime no less, her family has served the American people for generations and knows what life is like when it isn't handed to you.     Robby's only option is to repeat irrelevant Libertarian talking points, feign ignorance when it comes to obvious facts (The IDF'S well documented decades of crimes against humanity historically and currently) and get louder to hopefully distract from the unfortunate fact that he is WAAAYYY out of his class with BJG.  Saddest part is that being humiliated daily by Briahna on Rising will be the high point of his career once people understand that he has nothing to add to the conversation. Don't get me wrong, I actually believe Robby is probably a pleasant person, despite his obviously selfish under pinnings (Libertarianism is basically every man for himself which isn't possible in a society) but sadly he doesn't even articulate a decent conservative argument because he isn't a conservative. During these trying times we need well informed commentators, not mamma's boys with no life experience or information to back up a conservative view point. Sorry Robby, you DO seem to be honest, genuine (except for the IDF) and committed BUT unfortunately that doesn't make you intelligent. DO ALL SIDES A FAVOR AND RESIGN TO LET A REAL CONSERVATIVE TAKE YOUR PLACE.

If America & Russia agreed to drop a strategic Nuke in Ukraine to create a 9/11 event that polarized the electorate giving Trump a 3rd term to "save us" and destroy the social safety net, civil rights, unconstrained power to the military industrial complex & all the powers of a government during a "TOTAL WAR SCENARIO." ALSO, even better, regardless of a recession, any massive federal government failures in every possible way, none of it would be relevant as anything short of total commitment to total WAR or " patriotism which means slavish devotion to the current administration as you would obviously need to suspend elections to ensure that everything was safe " would be considered not only un-American BUT more importantly a complete and total abdication of duty to the federal government which would be considered anti-Trump which is not only treason BUT actually a crime against god, as Trump is our imperfect vessel against the Left's commie commitment to Satan. This would solve so many problems in terms of being able to pass laws where anything short of celebrating King Donald, would be considered treason & blasphemy and those people could be jailed without trial as Satanic heretics and not entitled to a jury of their peers........ The system works........ I mean, obviously the Nazis set up a false flag for the Reichstag & or the Gleiwitz Polish incident to completely consolidate power during a moment of weakness of government. Luckily the American president, Musk and his supporters are not capable of lying for political gain or consolidating power for a fascist takeover as that would be not only un-American but more importantly SAD......... We just need to let the tide water take us out to sea and assume that the richest people on Earth who were previously being charged or already convicted of multiple crimes have our best interest at heart!!!! Even if they couldn't be trusted, at least there's the AWESOME POWER of Joaquin Jefferies or Chuck Schumer!!!! Phew! I know i sleep better at night knowing that the DNC would gladly trade their wealth and privilege to fight for the basic Rights of average Americans. The system works!!!

  9189. West is an important intellectual but sadly lacks the chops for Realpolitik bare knuckle fight where the winner takes all. I've been reflecting on the constructs of power and 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 expexct swiftly and without remorse the same results, if not considerably worse, given the fact that they are burning hospital ridden children alive. 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 incorrect and allowing their ignorance to continue turns them into victims of a war they never signed up for.  The system works and it won't stop working until everyone's dead and they own everything. Unfortunately, that's just how it is and it's time we start to address it as such.  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). Therefore, it has casualties, collateral damage and massive losses to the side that is losing which is the Left to be clear. 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 CIA aren't as respectful as the Mafia and will 110% involve friends, family, children, lying & fabricating evidence as they have no limits on ANYTHING WHATSOEVER AND ANYONE STARTING TO CHALLENGE THEM MUST BE TOLD WHAT THEY ACTUALLY FACE. The system works.

Sadly, it'll be after Pierre sells off a bunch of important Canadian infrastructure/land just like Harper did on his last year in government to the highest bidder in order to pretend that he balanced the budget (could you imagine selling your house and then having to rent it from the new owners while telling your family that the balance sheet looks good as your money goes to the landlord every month?!?!).  The conservatives ran out the back door with bags of money (Cons foreign minister Baird literally left government & worked for a Chinese billionaire and a f##$ing Gold mine. It's f**** cartoonish?!?!). Clearly, Pierre is one of the greatest snake oil salesman of our time, even more depressing is that the Canadian people will have to pick up the tab as always on the back of working Canadians. P.s. had Trudeau actually ended first-past-the-post system (FPTP) which he campaigned on and then didn't bring in proportional representation because it allowed Liberals to rule unopposed is why we are going to have a majority conservative government (last time it was 34% of the electorate that voted for conservatives but won a majority )even though the overwhelming majority of Canadians actually don't support that. I understand how much we all f**** hate Trudeau, he is a selfish, entitled horrible piece of s*** that has doomed Canada for the next generation because of his selfishness to conservative corporate rule. F*** Trudeau I hope he gets rectal cancer. The system works.

  9206. While RFK Jr is not only fighting for YOUR medical Rights, Human rights, children's rights, Peace & ensuring that people are humanely considered and treated within a fair and balanced system, & especially how inconvenient "mandates" were and of course his complete commitment to mortality....... *Except of course if you are a Palestinian child, in which case over 10000 (definitely more) of them have died from lead poisoning, fed to them externally at over 500 ft per second which doesn't seem to matter to the moral giant RFK Jr or any of the other Christians clearly not interested in what Christ had to say?!?! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure RFK's still WAY better than the majority of these DNC or RNC monsters who supported the same shameless slaughter of innocent children everywhere BUT when Glenn ignores RFK'S own moral failings, Glenn leaves HIS credibility exposed to selective "moral outrage" that only applies to Democrats, who are 110% deserving of it, if not MORE, especially considering they pretend to be the arbitrators of morality themselves while applying that code even more selectively than RFK jr to say the f'n least!!!!! So, this isn't to say Glenn hasn't mentioned RFK'S moral failures before and I don't expect or even want Glenn to bring it up every couple minutes either BUT rather than hinging Glenn's argument on RFK Jr's absolute commitment to the struggle for medical justice, openness in government, I'd have just preferred Glenn said he's going after them without any of the morality preamble?!? Especially considering Rfk OPENLY supports an active pro-ethnic cleansing Israeli government, who are purposely starving children to death!?!? KNOWING full well the dire health consequences to those Palestinian kids WHO ARE NOT FULLY, LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAMAS HAS DONE OR THEIR PARENTS UNDER ANY CONSIDERATIONS OF WAR. ANYWAYS, kids....... 14 and under  (* I think it's unfair to put a child or anyone for that matter into a pressure cooker religious open-air prison where they've starved for literally generations and then ask them to rise above their conditions & peacefully seek a solution despite their families and children being brutally executed for over 70 years?!? I certainly wouldn't have that moral fortitude myself BUT I also don't claim any area as a religious Holy land (either of them!?!) that I need to sacrifice my actual children to in the name of my God and therefore any sacrifices are worth it?!? I'd just move but that's not the point! Point being, murder is murder and most kinds of religious understanding is not to accept it under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES except for ACTUAL LEGITIMATE SELF DEFENSE (The kind where people are in the actual act of killing you and then you kill them defending yourself in combat rather than bombing children cowering in tents from a few kilometers away moving faster than the speed of sound) However, for the overwhelming majority of human history, if you execute an act of War, then you are culpable and bare the consequences of those choices, just like the people you killed. With that said, 14-year-old's who get a gun rammed in their back and are strapped up with explosives and told that their families are going to be murdered, "If they don't do what they are told, they are commanded to, by the apostles of God?!?! These "children"  do not carry the same moral culpability as the rest of us, as they're incapable of understanding the reality of letting your entire family being raped, tortured & murdered for their one God, as a consequence for the denial to carry out the act of God's word as commanded by his Righteous Apostle. Anyone, who says that a tween with roughly less than a 10O months on earth should be morally culpable for his actions based on the worst circumstances literally on Earth, is either being totally disingenuous, is also an immoral religious zealot & or is an a****-ish moron.  """"HORRIFIC, BUT IT MUST BE ADDRESSED,"""" DESPITE THESE 15-17 YEAR OLD ARE "ADULTS" (At this age, I don't honestly believe you are fully culpable for your actions, however, if you were carrying a weapon of war that has the power to destroy other people's lives then unfortunately you are now acting as an adult. Yet 15-17 year olds WHO'S BRAINS HAVE NEVER ENJOYED ADEQUATE NUTRITION TO FULLY FORM, ARE EXPECTED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, REGARDLESS OF THEM NEVER HAVING BEEN IN CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES, EVER, EVEN ONCE ARE BEING INSTANTLY CONVICTED ON SIGHT (BROWN, EQUALS MUSLIM, WHICH MEANS GUILTY) BY VIRTUE OF BEING THERE. PUNISHMENT WITHOUT EVIDENCE CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING WHICH INCLUDES BUT NOT RESTRICTED TO; LOSS OF ALL MATERIAL ASSETS & or loss of GENERATIONAL FAMILY RESIDENCE PERMANENTALY, DEATH, DEATH & TORTURE, DEATH OF ENTIRE FAMILY & OR TORTURE, & OR MULTIPLE SEXUAL ASSAULTS Glenn, I hate the DNC, RNC and the establishment that supports both these corrupt parties but once RFK Jr enthusiastically cheered for the Israeli killing spree as most "Palestinians are the most pampered people on earth," in their open air prison while & embraced the duopoly he lost the "benefit of the doubt" especially considering the understanding these kids will be stalked by not only the extremely painful memories of watching family members murdered in front of them as well as slowly becoming emaciated until death by what I'm told is the most excruciating way to go, starvation BUT EVERY GENERATION WILL SUFFER A MYRIAD OF HEALTH CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL NOT JUST AFFECT THEM BUT THEIR CHILDREN, AS WELL AS THIER GRANDCHILDREN ( Just look up the many research papers on the survivors of Auschwitz and other concentration camps around the world, there is many provable ongoing issues that affect some of the victims to this day.)  Anyone claiming moral superiority while also not speaking out about this diminishes their credibility in every possible way. I genuinely hope that RFK Jr really does have the best interest of Americans at heart, but anyone who can turn A blind eye to children's starving to death is a person I can't trust or understand and why you are placing your credibility on him is something I don't understand and find very disturbing?!?! I hope you are right for Everyone's sake!?!?

  9212.  @MomProffitt  Hard to imagine the Woke crowd volunteering for the "front," In the UK, especially under Starmer! LOL With that said, it's pretty clear that Trump & his troll purposely humiliated zelensky because Ukraine doesn't want to give away half their nation's resources for literally nothing except for Trump's "word." LOL. Also, $500 billion from the states, where did you get that number George?!?! Sure. America probably gave him a couple hundred billion dollars in weapons that they all made a massive amount of kickbacks from. But Ukraine sacrificed hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight America's proxy war. And just because there's a new president doesn't mean America still isn't responsible. Pretending otherwise isn't just stupid, It's f**** dangerous because it allows every new president to pretend that all these weaker nations forced into these situations have any kind of say in the matter, which is insane obviously. Seriously, I get that Biden was the one who lied to Ukraine to fight America's/UK's proxy wars against Russia and if Zelensky was stupid enough to believe that, it's obviously his fault. HOWEVER GEORGE!?! Now that he's learned the hard way that America's "word" is meaningless, why would Zelensky sign away everything for absolutely nothing other than total capitulation to Putin, on literally everything, while Trump is in talks with Putin for aluminum & oil and other resources to undermine the trade deal that Trump literally signed himself with Canada to screw their closest allies America has ever had who helped fight in its Wars, killing hundreds if not thousands of Canadian soldiers, billions of Canadian dollars and everything that Canada does for the USA!?!? All so that Trump can screw anyone stupid enough to believe anything from America, while Trump lines his pockets?!?! Zelinski is totally f*** obviously & I also don't want to die in World War 3. But at the risk of sounding sympathetic to zielinski, I have to admit if I'm being told that I have to give away half of all my stuff & all I'm getting for it is the promise to probably lose the other half, I'd be less receptive to being screwed on international TV as well. I'd rather die on my feet, than capitulate to a petty piece of shit like Trump? I mean , if you're getting f*** no matter what you do, then I'm not sure what's the point of sucking Trump's ass on international television?!? Lastly, I hate Piers Morgan, but I have to admit the more I hear some of this weird slanted s*** George, I got to start wondering why you're such a fan of Putin & NEVER criticize him. It doesn't have to be a deranged propaganda filled tirade like most of Western media, but the fact that it's absolute crickets for ANYTHING WHATSOEVER is concerning?!? Once again, I hate all of these people, cuz they're all disingenuous pieces of s*** risking all of our lives for nothing except a few dollars more, but the sad reality is they're the hand we've been dealt and I don't understand why you think it's wise to give everything to Putin, everything to Trump, for absolutely nothing other than the promise to do it again and worse?!? My only hope is that the complete and total destruction of Ukraine as a result of trusting America and Britain to help fight their dirty proxy wars is a profound lesson to every other single nation in the world that the two most exploitative countries on Earth EVER, are not to be trusted under ANY circumstances EVER, even if you're f**** WHITE!?!?! It just doesn't matter, they will f*** you the moment it's slightly convenient & they'll demand you to not only wipe up the j*zz dripping down your leg while they do it, with not just a smile, nope, you're going to have to say "thank you," repeatedly & with the world watching.

  9246. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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). 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 P.S. Marianne has even less of a chance than Dr. West, Bernie knows that better than anyone and so should you Kyle.

  9251. MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was a Liberal shill. He soft pedals the vote blue no matter who narrative that enables the Democrat party to use the Republicans to get away with war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's family (The 1st one, not the second one when he realized that he was going to be Right of wsj, New York Times, haretz, and the liberal media establishment ) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange to push the security apparatus agenda. He is only on the right side of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the establishment's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for.

  9260. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploitation of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  9294. The loss of Chris Hedges from your show Is why I no longer listen or even tune in, regardless of the subject matter. It's not even that I think you guys are doing bad work or dishonest work. It's just that I know that there's a number of people reporting with similar points of view and with a limited amount of time & money, I now know that when push comes to shove, TRNN abandoned one of the most credible, courageous, respected and credentialed voices of our time without any explanation whatsoever?!?! Generally, that speaks of cowardice, because if there's any reason that was a legitimate one, even if it was uncomfortable but necessary for a larger purpose, it could be argued in public. However, you did it quietly and let's be honest, if you did it for reasons of political expediency because he was upsetting the exact type of people WE NEED TO UPSET, it means investing anything into your institution is worthless because the moment it becomes relevant, you will sell that person out because it's in your interest to do so. That is not the type of journalism I'm interested in and I'm deeply disappointed in TRNN. If you had the least amount of respect for a man who's risked his life for decades to bring REAL news, You would at least have the decency to explain why you unceremoniously dropped him from TRNN. Name names and explain what losing the most credible journalist of our time's reporting gained TRNN, it's supporters BUT MOST OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO FORCED CHRIS HEDGES OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?!? When the brown shirts come marching in for you, just remember that you sold out your most voracious and unyielding defender of the working class & probably the only person who'd have risked his life to report about yours. You have SO much to answer for........ The system works.

  9302. 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).   The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way.

Not to mention the fact, that they're also in the same boiling pot of climate change & that the next climate catastrophe is going to be the pretext for ushering in boots on the ground fascism or disaster in their region that will ALSO have to be ignored in order to PRIORITIZE the ongoing slaughter of the middle East's Muslim people to satiate the blood lust and regional hegemonic intentions of Israel's elite, it's co-conspirators in the American security establishment and of course the ultra wealthy Israeli lobby groups that are more concerned about regional domination than its own people that are ignored along with thier families, THE HOSTAGES!?!?!    The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote third party, knowing full well that it will more than likely elect Donald Trump and that you are proud of it because it's better than voting for Kamala's kinder, gentler genocide.  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 as it expands across the region. 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 are 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 f***ing genocide is concerned!?! Kamala is an empty vessel to be filled with the military industrial complex's murderous interests for not only Gaza BUT obviously the broader region & the next place they intend to invade once they've executed every last Muslim man, woman and child.  (Sadly, I originally wrote this previous to the Lebanese mass murder campaign of Netanyahu BUT iT WAS COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE AS THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT HAS TOLD US THIS WAS F***ING PLAN.) 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 & will continue to act accordingly. I'm not saying that the Trump presidency is good in any way and will NOT ONLY be a tragic loss of  life but will also threaten everything we hold dear as people who care about our ENTIRE community not just our demographic ❤️. What I'm saying is that once we accept genocide as the lesser of two evils, we are no longer human beings but animals who are willing to do anything to survive and I would rather die as a human being defending the dignity of all people, rather than as a Savage animal, killing everything instinctively in its path as an excuse to ignore the humanity of others.  The system works, let's stop supporting it.

  9304. 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, however 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 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 on Syria, failure in Afghanistan, failure to not escalate hostility with China, continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia, 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). The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way.

  9374. I believe that the fallout from all of these tariffs is going to hurt Canadians very badly, regardless of whoever is in government & they are going to be blamed no matter what they did or didn't do. Therefore, I have a massive concern about the Liberals winning by a hair and then getting slaughtered a few years later by the inevitable massive recession that's coming regardless as to who wins or what agreements they make. As I personally believe the Trump organization is tanking the economy on purpose for a variety of reasons (homeless people don't protest, bankruptcies make for cheap housing BuyBacks that can be turned into rentals, etc). When that happens, nobody is going to remember that PP is a trump wannabe, as PP will just say that he was right and that if you elect him he can make all of their problems instantly disappear. You have to remember that most people are borderline mentally challenged and when under duress they will believe any snake oil salesman who promises a better tomorrow, regardless of the obvious faults in their logic. That's why PP needs to win a minority government, if he does, then he has to work with the NDP which more or less guarantees that he can't do anything crazy and PP will own the inevitable recession. This will inevitably give enough room to the Liberals so that they can credibly say things have changed and Carney can come back with standard neoliberalism, Rather than PP's hyper neoconservatism that sells out the larger Canadian economy, all for oil and resource extraction. I can't stress this enough, if Carney wins and eeks out a 3 or 4-year government, he is going to own the inevitable massive decline in the standard of living of Canadians. When that happens, all of the sad, stupid desperate people who watch the world's most concentrated media of billionaires in the world. Will eventually elect PP in a electoral super majority that allows him to ram through every single possible horrific, conservative wet fever dream, I'm talking destroying all of the CBC, bring back the death penalty for fentanyl dealers, life sentences for drug offenses, DOGE'ing the federal government, a complete militarization of the Canadian Army where we buy f-35s that don't actually work to the tune of trillions, dissolution of the FPCC (Farm Products Council of Canada) and the further erosion of our farming communities, 100's of billions of oil infrastructure investment for a single province and a Doug Ford style privatization of Canada's healthcare to "take pressure off healthcare" by allowing the wealthy to skip the line as the rest of our wait times increase as a result & our quality of care declines because when rich people aren't forced to use the same system as the rest of us, they will defund it accordingly, etc..... The sad reality is Canadians have to be forced to deal with PP's charm offensive on a nightly basis for at least a couple years in order for Canadians to understand what they're buying before he gets a majority government which will 110% f**** happen. If Carney wins he has to wear the the inevitable recession that Trump has planned for the world & PP will eventually be able to tear up any agreement Carney made & sell out Canadian workers to the American Corporations like they did for NAFTA. That's why I'm telling everyone I know to vote their conscience, that means Greens, NDP and god help us all, the PPC. Anything short of that? And they're going to make Cruella Deville Milhouse into Thanos and I'm really not okay with that. Unfortunately, PP is like an STD, it's going to sting for awhile doing our business but it will run its course & we can get back to the usual slow decent into Neoliberalism's boarded up main Street hellscape rather than PP hoisting a 51st flag over Parliament. Not a great choice BUT definitely one with real consequences we need to consider. The system works.

  9389. The South America Columbian President's quote at the  U.N. about "Palestine, being the past, present and future of South America," is correct and as I've been saying for some time, Palestinians are the canary in the fascism coal mine.  Once we normalize genocide in Gaza & the climate catastrophe unfolds into a pretext for fascism to address the obvious issues that are inevitable as a result of the climate catastrophe. The genocidal war machine, once completing the example of the benefits of genocides while also serving proof that it can be done, will be exported to the next inconvenient people sitting atop the resources & or land. As the Establishment MUST consume developing nations raw resources without adding anything to their economic development as the lifeblood of neoliberalism is using those raw resources for added value profit BUT more importantly, denying those nations people the ability to not only profit from value added products rather than resource extraction that only enriches the elite of that country BUT more importantly excludes the type of Professional managerial class (PMC) that type of economic development would increase this class of people who would be the ones that could not only help further develop the economy & help train other generations of people who could further develop the nation's economy and resources. Worst of all, it is this intellectual class issue of the PMC that would be able to organize and fight back against the absolute obvious, exploitation of their Nation. Most importantly, the West has learned that they have to always exclude the PMC of any developing nations from any process, as they understand the mechanisms of exploitation which makes them extremely dangerous as they can articulate it to the masses.  Eventually, genocide WILL be exported everywhere, until it MUST be brought home as ALL citizens will eventually understand that they will have received NOTHING from the constant murder of civilian communities around the world and then even racism won't be enough to satiate the blood lust, then it will be turned on anyone who doesn't cheer for the murderers and so on.......... The system works.

  9428. Frum contributed to arguably the worst administration in American history, as their lies on the Iraq war contributed directly to the loss of around 10 trillion over the last 25 years & literally hundreds of thousands of lives. Had these Bush W charlatans not been allowed to use a GOP controlled SCOTUS in 2000 to literally steal an election, then competent people would have stopped the 9/11 attacks, therefore all that money wouldn't have been wasted or veterans lives or limbs lost. Then there wouldn't have been any 2008 crash but even if there had been, the American treasury would have been able to bail out not only the banks but also enough to help Americans to keep their homes. Then there wouldn't have been 20 years of wage stagnation that culminated in so much outrage towards the Establishment that the American people elected a deranged game show host to send a gigantic middle finger to the people who 've ruined their lives and their children live's for generations. Also, The bush doctrine of expanding NATO to the Russian border forcing Putin to react as the last two invading forces of Napoleon and Hitler used the exact same route. These people keep saying that putting nuclear weapons on the border where 70 years ago the Russian people lost almost 30 million people isn't a big deal is f**** ridiculous. Now as a result of Frum's & Pals ideological ideas, Americans haven't invested in 20 years of infrastructure, education for its youth or the ability to pay down debt and or invest in its future but instead made a small group of Frum's Friends in the military industrial complex, extremely more wealthy while weakening America against its adversaries at every turn, especially China. Could you imagine had America spent $10 trillion on advancing their capacity to educate and innovate over the last 20 years instead of sending our young men and women to die needlessly in a desert?!?! Frum, if not arrested, should at least be so ashamed to show his face that it would make more sense to smear his face in feces, then to have anything come out of his mouth, other than, "I am so sorry and ashamed of what I have done to America and the world." Trump clearly sucks, but what Bush's people have done is so vastly worse & are directly responsible for Trump's Presidency, that it shocks me to the core when I hear them spew anything and more importantly, the fact that they are now aligned with the DNC is extremely concerning to say the f**** least.

Frum should be ashamed of his contribution to his clear contribution to the people (Cheney's?!?) dedicated to profiting off hundreds of thousands of Innocent dead Iraqis, thousands of dead American soldiers (not to mention many who killed themselves when they came home short a couple limbs + with diseases from burn pits that clearly didn't give a s*** about the veterans + most importantly of all, no help when they returned from fighting Bush's Illegal Wars against two countries that weren't even the ones who did it, but unfortunately Saudi Arabia were bestest friends with the Bush's?!?!! but I digress....).

Mr Frum you will be HATED FOR GENERATIONS & I'M SURE YOU'RE CHILDREN ARE ASHAMED OF YOU, AS A CANADIAN I KNOW I CERTAINLY AM.

  9433.  @Soapandwater6  Frum arguably contributed to the worst administration in American history, as their lies on the Iraq war contributed directly to the loss of around 10 trillion over the last 25 years & literally hundreds of thousands of lives. Had these Bush W charlatans not been allowed to use a GOP controlled SCOTUS in 2000 to literally steal an election, then competent people would have stopped the 9/11 attacks, therefore all that money wouldn't have been wasted or veterans lives or limbs lost. Then there wouldn't have been any 2008 crash but even if there had been, the American treasury would have been able to bail out not only the banks but also enough to help Americans to keep their homes. Then there wouldn't have been 20 years of wage stagnation that culminated in so much outrage towards the Establishment that the American people wouldn't have elected a deranged game show host to send a gigantic middle finger to the people who 've ruined their lives and their children live's for generations. Also, The bush doctrine of expanding NATO to the Russian border forcing Putin to react, seeing as the last two invading forces of Napoleon and Hitler used the exact same route. The people who keep saying that putting nuclear weapons on the border where 70 years ago the Russian people lost almost 30 million people isn't a big deal is utterly ridiculous. Now, as a result of Frum's & associates ideological insanity, Americans haven't invested in 20 years of infrastructure, education for its youth or the ability to pay down debt and or invest in its future but instead made a small group of Frum's Friends in the military industrial complex, even more wealthy at the expense of weakening America against its adversaries at every turn, especially China. Could you imagine had America spent $10 trillion on advancing their capacity to educate and innovate over the last 20 years instead of sending our young men and women to die needlessly in a desert?!?! Frum should be ashamed of his contribution to his clear contribution to the people (Cheney's?!?) dedicated to profiting off hundreds of thousands of Innocent dead Iraqis, thousands of dead American soldiers (not to mention many who killed themselves when they came home short a couple limbs + with diseases from burn pits that clearly didn't give a s*** about the veterans + most importantly of all, no help when they returned from fighting Bush's Illegal Wars against two countries that weren't even the ones who did it, but unfortunately Saudi Arabia were bestest friends with the Bush's?!?!! but I digress....).

  9440. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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, continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza. 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. Sadly the same with Gaza). Also, let's say we drag Biden across the line and now he doesn't have to face re-election do people 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 sweep 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.

  9450. COMIC BOOK MOVIES THAT ALL TAKE PLACE DURING THE ORIGINAL TIMELINES IN ORIGINAL STORY ARCS. The only reboot that makes any sense to me at ALL comic book companies but especially MCU/DCU. (* FOR THE CORPORATE WHORES WHO ARE RUINING EVERYTHING, YOU GET TO SELL NEW TOYS FOR EVERY DIFFERENT ERA?!?!?!) If they actually used the original characters, in their original timelines, with the original pace of story telling (You don't have to kill off the bad guy/hero every single f**** movie BUT if you do, they have to stay DEAD). This not only allows for them to inhabit those specific timelines, era styles, artistic directorial viewpoint, technologies unique to their time, which could widely differentiate individual characters for different time periods (like how they have the fantastic 4 in the '60s but then they could do a 70s, 80's 90's, etc, versions where Reed Richards is old, older, oldest OR Batman/Superman of the 1940's to grittier 80's versions. Each one of these "Characters" could be played by a completely different version (different actors) and be done with completely different directors, styles with different tones, FOR EVERYONE ON ALL specific story runs specific to their particular era's.  You know, actually original movies, that made them great during their eras BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY!!!!! This would allow for each showrunner/director/actors to actually take creative risks + be more more respectful to the original creative content. By going back to the original eras you would also help in all the stupid stuff that has to be done in a movie to accommodate the new technologies, but it would also take down a whole bunch of the cost of those special effects. Which thing could actually mean better stories. Also, by doing original story runs (for instance, the X-Men and the evolutionary War fighting the High Evolutionary) In their original tones for that '80s era. If it flopped another movie could be done of the '70s version of the 2000s version and those different story lines that are specific to those eras, played by different actors that are older and or younger depending on the timelines. This would allow for much more interesting takes and if the movies did well they could expand upon that same era and if not they could just move on to something and wipe the slate clean As the characters are always the same no matter what era and therefore you don't have to reinvent the wheel every single f**** time. This allows for minor roles for hero team-ups, villain team-ups that don't have to destroy an entire franchise if they don't work out. You know like how comics were successful for decades before movies ruin them with the shitification of corporate thinking This would allow for original great costumes that don't seem corny A year later when the fashion is out of modern tastes or story lines that aren't ruined by modern logistics like cell phones. It also allows stories to be allegories for politically difficult stories of today that can really do interesting stuff without having to point fingers at anyone politically. The other great thing about this is all of the amazing sets + interesting things you could do as a result of not having to shoehorn in everything that's already happened within the last 5 years that they've tried to make a ka-jillion dollars off of. Under the current circumstances, they want to make sure that as a product, it's going to HAVE TO coincide with an overall storyline no matter what, which is ridiculous considering it's billions of dollars worth of movies over 10 years (captain America: Red Hulk crap-a-thon is a good example of having to tie up loose threads constantly. Getting rid of that unnecessary plotlines would be f**** huge, as being able to bring in an early '80s Wolverine who doesn't need to have anything to do with the X-Men as a stand-alone story, but then also be able to tie him in with Jubilee in the late '80s lwith potentially a totally different actors playing Wolverine as a young or older version is amazing. It also allows for someone to play a wolverine in World War II, you see where I'm going with this. The possibilities are endless and if any of these stories fail, it doesn't f*** every storyline before or after it?!?! You just cut that timeline for whatever reason. Even better, because you're now not tying yourself to every attempt at something original, the success of literally every single mega story in a row is no longer the "make and break" for a producer every single f**** time. You can actually take risks and stylistically make things extremely innovative and interesting. Like having Mobius being a full-on horror movie or same with blade + not having too be tied into a kid-friendly version of Disney that won't necessarily work for either. But once again, as I said......... If it doesn't work for whatever reason, it's not the end of the world because if every character inhabits their own style, era, set of directorial viewpoint it makes every movie an opportunity to try something different to not bore the f*** out of everyone with formulaic age s*** that doesn't HAVE TO appeal to EVERYONE.  I obviously understand that none of this would ever happen as they're too stupid + if you can't force everyone to have to watch every single movie to make sure that every single movie is relevant, then how do you force people to watch s*** movies that suck and suck worse and then suck still even worse, that nobody cares about?!? LASTLY, this would allow for DEI plot lines that really would be relevant to time and place where it would feel less forced and could have real opportunities to communicate something that genuinely reflected the struggles of people and their stories. Hopefully this would have considerably less blowback than no DEI at all, rather then 12 stories in a row shoehorned DEI all at the same exact time, with very little relevancy within the actual meaning of that story..... I wouldn't care but I grew up on all this stuff and it breaks my heart to see them ruin all of my favorite stories in what feels like an on purpose attempt to make sure we have no Heroes...... The system works.

  9490. SHE IS. Anyone who supports genocide is by definition evil. Kyle's slavish devotion to the DNC is pretty fucking gross. (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.

  9492.  @serpico1616  interestingly, I left a response that was quite detailed but it has magically disappeared! Can't be bothered to do as much detailed info but the gist of it was that both parties are 100% Pro-genocide, The only difference seems to be that the Republicans have evangelicals who are super into that, however, the Democrats understand that genocide isn't really popular (especially with all the pictures of the children blown to pieces and the constant credible stories of the IDF raping and torturing Palestinian prisoners, especially healthcare workers like doctors, nurses, emergency responders) and so the DNC needs to lie about it as long as possible to win the election before they can start supporting it again openly (while leaking reports of course that they are really SAD about it BUT unfortunately there's nothing they can do to help except send Israel more 2,000 lb bombs......). Similar to how Obama said how angry he was about the 2008 crash that was caused by the obscene greed of the banks (who are coincidentally once again major donors to the DNC) and then promptly rewarded all of them with trillions in taxpayers $ in bailouts, while simultaneously giving millions of American homeowners eviction notices. But I digress, yes, Trump is a terrible human being and is likely to do very very bad stuff. However, the reality and it's that Democrats support the same. Terrible stuff but with positive language. You may be comfortable with a gentle slower genocide of the tens of thousands of innocent women and children. But I am not and could never support it. Not sure how they sleep at night knowing how those kids are either burning to death, suffocating to death, starving to death, and or bleeding to death under piles of rubble by the bombs that they paid for instead of using that money to help American children have actual school supplies and or f**** anything else than murdering children. But please, explain to me why this is better!?!

  9493.  @serpico1616  Let's be honest, both parties are 100% Pro-genocide, as both of them support sending billions of dollars to bomb women and children who are trapped in an open-air prison in Gaza. The only difference seems to be that the Republicans have evangelicals who are super into that, however, the Democrats understand that genocide isn't really popular (especially with all the pictures of the children blown to pieces and the constant credible stories of the IDF raping and torturing Palestinian prisoners, especially healthcare workers like doctors, nurses, emergency responders) and so the DNC needs to lie about it as long as possible to win the election before they can start supporting it again openly (while leaking reports of course that they are really SAD about it BUT unfortunately there's nothing they can do to help except send Israel more 2,000 lb bombs......).

But I digress, yes, Trump is a terrible human being and is likely to do very very bad stuff. However, the reality is that Democrats support the same terrible stuff but with positive language & delayed bombs for talking points. You may be comfortable with a gentle, slower genocide of the tens of thousands of innocent women and children who, under no circumstances can actually be Hamas, regardless of how much you tell yourself that to justify it. The decision-making process of the extremely militant religious terrorist organization is a boys club of misogynistic assholes who were barely elected almost 20 years ago. But I am not a supporter of a kinder genocide and could never support it, no matter how much DNC handwringing was involved. Not sure how they sleep at night knowing that those kids are either burning to death, suffocating to death, starving to death, and or bleeding to death under piles of rubble with the bombs that they paid for instead of using that money to help America's children, seniors, veterans, mentally ill, medical bankruptcies, climate change preparations, and on f**** and f****** on and f**** on............. But please, explain to me why Harris is a better choice BUT more importantly, how you can justify the slaughter of literally 100's of thousands of innocent people?!?! (Before you do your usual blah blah blah blah Hamas, keep in mind that both the Israeli government and Hamas have an extremely vested interest in keeping the numbers low as possible. Israel obviously doesn't want the world to know that they are genocidal maniacs who kill Palestinians with a cruelty that it's hard to fathom & the sheer volume of those fatalities BUT same thing with Hamas, the more the terrorists can down play the civilian death toll, the easier it is for them to justify the ongoing war to Palestinians while still holding onto The hostages. Clearly the military of both parties in this conflict, don't want solutions and they've made it pretty f**** obvious. Lastly, I totally understand the Republican position as they fall under a few very distinct positions. The evangelicals who hope that the needless slaughter in Israel will bring forth an even larger, needless slaughter so that the the complete and total destruction of everyone involved will usher in the second coming of Christ who will mercilessly slaughter everyone who doesn't converge to Christianity as he spreads his message of love and forgiveness. Or, the usual straight up colonial racist Republican that supports murdering Muslims and taking their land. Or supporting Israel because they are a bulwark against Muslim nationalism which would, if they could get their s*** together be a direct threat to American hegemony of those resources in the region. That's why the american government and the Israeli government have always propped up the Muslim religious lunatics as a way to destabilize the middle East and ensure that they can never organize to help themselves. Obviously, destabilization helps to enrich our wealthy Elite who are invested in projects there as well as ensuring that American adversaries don't have access to those same resources But I actually don't understand, is how Democrats see and do all the exact same s*** but somehow feel like they're the good guys?!?! The GOP at least understands that their murderous thugs dare to take everyone's s*** and act accordingly. The thing I find so disgusting and difficult to stomach is how the DNC tries to sell us. Peace! Joy, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah but then delivers at least 50,000 dead. The system works P.s. I guess I did actually put all the details in again! This s*** really pisses me off.

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........ 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 a genocide. 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.

  9531. If Bernie would have been elected President, the DNC, RNC, media & the Blob would have formed an evil Voltron, that would have destroyed him by first the usual smears, then scandal, then Law-fare and if that didn't work he would have been MLK'd by a "lone wolf." I'm sorry, the sad reality is that we shouldn't be thinking about a better politic but understanding that we are in the early days of France before the Nazis takeover & the DNC is the Weirmar Republic 2.0 who are going to be more than happy to let the Nazis Waltz in, in order to protect their wealth and privilege? So much so they'd rather be waving the same fascist flags, then ever consider the slightest reduction in the standard of wealth and or status that the DNC will gladly send whoever they need into the gas Chambers. Just look at Gaza for your evidence?!?! Therefore, the only thing that makes sense is the Panther Party (based on the organizational style Black Panthers, it doesn't matter what the name is, so long as it represents a group that is dedicated to something larger than electoral politics and actively works within communities to help poor and working class people survive The inevitable onslaught coming.) or something similar to it where money, time, resources that have been previously wasted on a system specifically designed to waste your time, energy, and resources on a party that clearly hates you towards preparing for what comes next. This is a deeply unhappy and unpopular thing to say, but it's absolutely true as the bottleneck of climate catastrophe is upon us and when it tightens this will be used as a pretext for fascism. They'll use that algorithm to see what we've posted on comments to know which people to round up first and it will be the fourth Reich of a thousand years that they've always planned. However, If we build a credible alternative for the people who are inevitably pushed out, as the pie becomes smaller and smaller, as it has to in order for neoliberalism to flourish, the numbers will get bigger towards us as those people will have no other choice. When a critical mass occurrs there will come a time when it will be decided not by the ballot box but by something much more visceral as it's requires the masses as any major change in society will require a group IDEALOGICAL commitment by those same masses. Unfortunately, if they can end your movement by just shooting your leader then you don't have an actual movement because THEY will. Just like MLK, Malcolm x, JFK, RFK, MILK and SOOO many progressives from around the world, however, if it's a system of ideas where we are all leaders than it can't be simply decapitated. "Only sheep need a Leader" NoMeansNo (it's a punk rock band) System works.

  9578.  @GGGeeGee1997  Canadians don't need to worry about housing or affordability as Poilievre implied that once elected he will do so many service cuts to government, so many layoffs for Union federal employees (while improving services of course), massive tax breaks for his foreign owned oil companies & multinational Conglomerate that will also be able to pollute noe for through deregulation, sell-off so much canadian-owned Federal land & buildings to more foreigners that it will kill the deficit, that it will end the massive worldwide inflation that's been plaguing middle classes everywhere! Not only that but he's going to stop everyone from abusing drugs by cutting off the safe supply or harm reduction programs, so they'll obviously quit and get jobs instead of robbing your car or B&E's, which means that our kids won't die from a poisoned drug supply! Clearly, Pierre's tough on crime has NEVER been tried!!! (I'm pretty sure Ronald Reagan won the War on drugs right?!?! ) Then, finally I'll be able own a home in Vancouver, just by Poilievre "stopping the gatekeepers," whatever the f*** that means!?! Yup, finally a politician who is brave enough to tell everybody exactly what they wanted to hear and offering simple solutions to extremely complex and difficult problems all while being extremely close to the largest corporations in Canada and the world. The fact that he voted for the exact opposite of everything he's now promising in the 9 years in power he served under Harper doesn't matter as he's totally changed and obviously won't totally blame the Liberals for all his broken promises to Canadian workers, while still delivering to ALL his corporate donors to "stimulate the economy,' like every single Conservative government before him while massively driving up the budget deficit (8 out of 9 massive deficit under Harper except the last which was balanced by selling Canadian's federal property. Like selling your house and saying you've balanced your books). Poilievre's guaranteed snake oil elixir is great and can hopefully be used for LUBE because I think we're going to need it..... The system works. P.S. Trudeau obviously has to go but going from one idiot who lies his way into power isn't much of a change. What we need is a minority government for the conservatives to get rid of Trudeau but not let Pierre sell out Canadians to his base's favorite politician Donald Trump. Ugh The system works.

  9664. Let's all remember that CTV is owned by billionaires and that they hate the liberal/NDP coalition government and have supported the conservatives and their tax breaks for billionaires in almost every single election. I'm no fan of the Liberals, but let's be honest, the conservatives are going to give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy (mainstream media), service cuts to everyone else, slightly less mass immigration (look up the numbers, the Cons are almost exactly the same on immigration) and of course petty cruelty to anyone who needs help like veterans, the disabled or anyone else who can't help the conservatives get more power and money. If you don't believe me, look up their record or I can send it to you if you want. I understand hating Trudeau, he's a bumbling imbecile but sadly Pierre is something much more dangerous. Pierre is actually very smart and he knows how to manipulate people into voting against their own interests. Don't get me wrong, I get that people are going to do that anyways because they are grossly ignorant of the facts of Pierre's voting record in the 9 years of the Harper government & it's relentless support of corporations and the ultra wealthy. But eventually those choices will come home to roost and people will remember why they kicked out Harper and almost 10 years of debt-ridden government broken promises. Sadly, it'll be after Pierre sells off a bunch of important Canadian infrastructure/land just like Harper did on his last year in government to the highest bidder in order to pretend that he balanced the budget (could you imagine selling your house and then having to rent it from the new owners while telling your family that the balance sheet looks good as your money goes to the landlord every month?!?!).  The conservatives ran out the back door with bags of money (Cons foreign minister Baird literally left government & worked for a Chinese billionaire and a f##$ing Gold mine. It's f**** cartoonish?!?!). Clearly, Pierre is one of the greatest snake oil salesman of our time, even more depressing is that the Canadian people will have to pick up the tab as always on the back of working Canadians. P.s. had Trudeau actually ended first-past-the-post system (FPTP) which he campaigned on and then didn't bring in proportional representation because it allowed Liberals to rule unopposed is why we are going to have a majority conservative government (last time it was 34% of the electorate that voted for conservatives but won a majority )even though the overwhelming majority of Canadians actually don't support that. I understand how much we all f**** hate Trudeau, he is a selfish, entitled horrible piece of s*** that has doomed Canada for the next generation because of his selfishness to conservative corporate rule. F*** Trudeau I hope he gets rectal cancer. The system works.

  9667. VP Harris is going to continue to support the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children. The DNC is a vote to offshore jobs with "free trade", endless wars and genocide. HOWEVER, the parents of those murdered children can take solace in the fact that our first black woman President PAID to have those kids executed! Or? Stop supporting the duopoly that has sold out the American working class to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Vote for ANY 3rd party, just to let the DNC know that you don't support tax breaks for billionaires or the slaughter of innocent children, it's the only way they will stop doing both. Sadly, the American people tried to elect Bernie Sanders, TWICE. Now, for a third time the elites have not allowed the American people to choose their leader but instead imposed someone who supports unnecessary corporate inflation, the Military Industry Complex rather than helping Americans and crucially, the ongoing genocide in Gaza (every bomb dropped on a child, is literally a library full of books, that are missing in America.) Vote 3rd party if you don't want to be complicit in the execution of those children or the further erosion of democracy? Sadly, if Trump wins he'll do the same thing & in similar numbers as both parties support Netanyahu's genocidal campaign BUT because Trump is hated, people will actually scrutinize everything that he does worldwide to fight back. However, IF Kamala is elected they can go back to brunch because those children will be rip to shreds by the first black woman president in America........ Ugh.

  9671. "Left Washing" is unfortunately real. Using the "center left opinion" (Liberals) to sell Corporate talking points of blaming the working class as racists despite people of color also going to Trump, OR the actual Left, like Bernie for demanding that billionaires pay their fair share of taxes & not support using Ukrainians as canon fodder as both parties knows that the ukrainians will never be able to beat a massively larger Russia that is nuclear armed while approaching a million dead soldiers, let alone the millions that are injured and or the entire infrastructure in cities decimated for generations, the full-throated support of Netanyahu's murderous rampage against not only Gaza, Westbank, Lebanon, Syria & Iran, Let alone the war both parties want with China which would be insane for all the very obvious reasons!?!?(NONE OF THEM EVER MENTIONED THE INSANE INFLATION FROM ISRAEL SETTING THE REGION ON FIRE ONCE, IT WOULD TOTALLY DESTABILIZE THE ENTIRE WORLD ECONOMY DRIVING THE WEST'S ENEMIES EVEN CLOSER TOGETHER AND DESTROYING WHAT'S LEFT OF THE DOLLAR. AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO WONDER IF THEY'RE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE FOR F*** SAKE!?!?! The "center Left" (like J Carville, morning Joe & their ilk) get paid to say that they support the DNC establishment's militarism, support of Billionaires, while blaming workers for not wanting to compete against a refugee who is escaping a country that America destroyed & sanctioned & flee to THAT place as they're not dropping 2000 lbs bombs there. American workers aren't racist, they're desperate and the rent's too F**** high!?!? The DNC did this on purpose to keep wages low for their billionaire donors and to force competition between these two groups that would divide them, which was a huge issue that depressed not only the Muslim vote, black, brown, women and youth. However, the billionaires that pay the consultants & corporate "opinions" would not appreciate that "truth bomb," so that part of the analysis is conveniently left off the table The system works

  9690. I'm hoping that Dune 3 has EVEN MORE romantically longing stare contests between Paul & his concubine & less of the importance of the Space Guilds relevance for the entire plot, especially if they emphasize the forced romance of a living god's side-girl over the rest of anything concerning the entire universe's reliance on the Guild, and it's direct political tension between all of the houses, Emporer and the importance of the spice?!?! That tension of the political drama & the entire universe hinging on the triangular power balance of these three strategic groups (God king, guild & houses) seems almost totally irrelevant when compared to infatuation. Especially when the two young actors are super hot & stare at each other, like a lot, but like you know, longingly....... Removal of the Guild entirely, even though they are the linchpin of the plot with spice, space travel, their relevance to the Emperor & the Houses just seems pretty irrelevant in comparison to the romance between a living God & his Bae!!!!! Looking forward to more crucial characters being completely sidelined in order to service Hollywood's desire to replace storylines for vacuous star worship!?! The 80's version using the Toto sound track wasn't great but despite the studio's best attempts to ruin it, the movie was at least a sci-fi political thriller, not just another way to yet again showcase Hollywood's two most popular actors. Sadly , the corporations & the inevitable shitification of everything for money prevails! I hope they get a particularly painful version of cancer for ruining my favorite sci-fi novel. At least the first movie in this particular series was decent & why I think I was SOOOO disappointed in the second installment BUT it's all going to get worse from here as plot is obviously irrelevant when competing against American cheese (a product that isn't actually cheese, which is why they have to call it "American cheese" as it's just chemicals, fat and salt.) The system works.

  9702. LOL?!?!?!? Obama's last gigantic middle finger to Biden is spectacular. He might as well have chanted, "Let's go, Brandon!" Thank you Joe, for letting the Donors force you out of the race because you are so decrepit, senile, uninspiring that your 50 years of neoliberal failures like protecting credit card companies over consumers, jailing the most black and brown people of any country ever at any time in the entire history of the world, overseeing a genocide in Gaza that saw the wholesale slaughter of at least 20,000 children in Gaza is truly inspiring. Also, let's not forget his many failures on campaign promises, where he purposely planned that scotus would reject his debt relief for students so he could force young people back to the polls for a third time, his weak capitulation to the parliamentarian on a $15 an hour minimum wage, the fist bump for the Saudi Prince who butchered an American journalist, Biden promised not to drill anymore on federal land and then issued the most permits of any president ever, also let American/Palestinian journalist Shireen abu akleh be obviously assassinated by the IDF with zero consequences, let alone the literal murder by Israel of hundreds of nurses, doctors, journalists and aid workers (EVEN THE WHITE ONES?!?!). Obama took the knife out of Joementia just long enough to remind Biden that he'll never be loved like Obama and that the only reason he won the 2020 election was that Obama and the establishment hated Bernie Sanders even more than they had no respect for genocide Joe Like Obama said, "Let's go Brandon!!!!!"

  9733. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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). 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 P.S. Marianne has even less of a chance than Dr. West, Bernie knows that better than anyone and so should you Kyle.

  9734. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after they beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to CIA under Dulles who led the mission) colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporations interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & will sacrifice everyone to their Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger

  9738. Satoshi's disappearance and all of the rest of the lost BTC is the only reason why Bitcoin is different as the rest of them can be much more easily manipulated by enough whale's. I got wiped out by a leverage bet, it was $75000 and I basically bet it couldn't come back down under $19000 as that would mean they'd have to literally wipe out trillions just as everyone had just bought in. I was wrong. whales led by Musk attacked BTC and started dumping billions while simultaneously shorting. $18750 was just enough to wipe out $125000 of my BTC which coincidentally was the magic number to crush over 90% of the longs even though I had my leverage set to the lowest. I figured that these billionaires couldn't coordinate an attack worth a trillion but in the middle of the night when nobody had time to shore up their position they did just that. I missed by less than 1% on that bet! So believe me when I tell you that Krystal may not have all her facts 100% correct. But it's definitely possible that these crypto billionaires can totally conspire to screw people as they've already done it once. The system works P.S. yeah, yeah, yeah, HODL and obviously you're right but that wasn't my point. My point is that it was obviously manipulated because that particular number was the precise number that had the most possible damage while still being able to control the price and buy it back up cheaper and now they have billions more. I should have understood that line and that it was specifically going to be crossed from seeing as it had never lost that amount of value or that amount of value has never been lost on any market ever on a single asset Made me feel that using the lowest long bet possible was going to be safe. "Never underestimate the other guy's greed!"

  9741.  @kennithmorella2693  agreed. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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, continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza. 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. Sadly the same with Gaza). Also, let's say we drag Biden across the line and now he doesn't have to face re-election do people 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 sweep 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.

  9745. MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concern yourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............

  9793. BC Liberals just rebranded to BC Conservatives and is riding a wave of ignorance and racism as well as confusion over the difference between the provincial and federal parties. Luckily the conservatives have the perfect confluence of general voter confusion over the purposely changed name and the fact that the BC liberals dropped out so that would benefit their extremely wealthy donors, as well as the overwhelming unpopularity of Trudeau's liberals. Liberals andgeneral apathy towards government for failing to deliver to people for decades now will mean we will end up voting for this incompetent party that will continue to erode the quality of life in BC. If you don't believe me, look at what has happened in Vancouver as it's the exact same game plan. The NPA /vision, which was the party of developers, just switched their name to ABC to deliver the same policies while they're attack Dogs in corporate media basically destroyed the left-leaning parties trying to make the city a little better instead of making multi-millionaires into billionaires. Obviously the NDP is far from perfect to say the f**** least. However, let's all remember how we got to this place to begin with?! The BC Liberals had more real estate developer money and or MLA's then at any other point in history. ALSO, CHRISTIE CLARK WAS TOTALLY CORRUPT and that's why she lost Let's not forget that Krusty Clark oversaw the laundering of fentynal money through BC casinos by chinese drug dealers to buy BC real estate to drive up prices and and reward the BC Liberals largest donors in the real estate development industry. That's not opinion, it was investigated and the report found that it was a massive problem. There's also the BC rail scam, mining industry disaster, BC forestry scams and all the other corporate corruption that is the hallmarks of the BC Liberals. The NDP may be incompetent sometimes BUT they weren't maliciously corrupt like Krusty and her corporate BC Liberals & you can rest assured that the BC Conservatives will be more of the same. LASTLY, ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT THE MEDIA IS OWNED BY BILLIONAIRES WHO HATE THE NDP BECAUSE THEY REPRESENT WORKERS NOT THE ULTRA WEALTHY. The MSM has supported the Conservatives for decades because they LOVE corporate tax breaks and HATE anything that supports workers. The system works.

  9796. Lol, yeah good luck with using Trump fact checks to somehow save this from the obvious disaster that it was. Dementia Joe, who he will obviously now be called because genocide Joe doesn't make sense, as he's clearly not in charge & says everything about the Democrat party. The white house is obviously run by a bunch of goddamn donors and the people who control Washington and not that dodering old man who can't goddamn string two f**** sentences together. Clearly, Biden will not be running for president as he should be sent to an old-timers home as anyone with any goddamn eyes or ears can understand. The real question, is the obvious fact that they would rather Trump win then to do anything for the American people because any sort of primary would have brought in a Bernie Sanders which the DNC despises because they wouldn't agree with genocide or billionaires paying their fair share of taxes and universal healthcare for Americans like any other normal first world country. Obviously, we're all going to die as a result of the dnc's complete and total capitulation to the donor class, the Israelis and The military industrial complex. I can't describe how angry I am, wait. I think I just did.......... How the f*** can they justify this completely horrific s**show that's coming down the pipe?!?! You people suck, the mainstream media sucks and worst of all Joe Biden sucks so bad that he makes Trump look reasonable. F** you & the billionaires who run America. I guess we understand now why Biden is Netanyahu 's. B****.

I'm sure a generation from now, American Palestinians will say, "my children had the honor of being murdered with the help of the first black woman American president!" Kamala HAS managed to not take any interviews about Ukraine's inability to actually win against the world's second largest nuclear armed power, refugees from around the world who are trying to escape the American policies of sanctions, regime change wars, etc. America's assassination of democratically elected leaders and on and on and on with the continued economic warfare that is the Hallmark of corporate America's war on ALL countries that legitimately compete with the USA (also, let's never forget that both parties have been protecting the corporations that have been price gouging as a result of covid. Neither party has said that they would address the almost 50% of cost increases that are a direct result of corporate greedflation?!?!? because I understand that the corporate media that is also invest in these same companies would crucify any campaign that does not sleavishly support anti worker policies), China's economic issues and military as well as sanctions against countries all over the world just like Venezuela that not only increase the cost of natural resources which adds to inflation for everyone but also has added 7 million additional refugees from Venezuela alone since Trump implemented his sanctions. That doesn't include any other countries that have contributed to the massive Spike in refugee claims as a result of BOTH parties specific policies towards not just refugees but immigrants as well........ Lastly, the history of America that doesn't give it any right about who to judge or why .........

  9814. It's definitely true that migration has significantly increased under Trudeau, almost by double in fact. Also, under Harper's abandonment of the federal housing program (also decimated by the federal liberals before them but they stuck the fork in it) basically allowed a massive loss of housing stock and then proceeded to block any support of housing in Canada for decades. Unfortunately both things are true, we definitely need mass immigration to deal with the boomer die off and we also need a massive amount of housing to be built, not just by the private sector but also by government (I live in Vancouver where they gave every single tax break possible and every giveaway to all their developer buddies and the only thing that happened is now we have the most expensive empty condos from offshore private investors hiding their money. Back when government actually supported housing and there were other options housing prices were much more reasonable because people had options. Another major issue is of the different venture capitalists firms buying up all the housing from distressed buyers and then renting it back to them because the prices are so high. This should be illegal, there should never be more than 5% tops into profit off housing. Any profit over that should be exponentially, taxed and put into a Fund specifically for more additional housing as well as landlord protection for emergencies for natural disasters or something. That way secure extremely low interest loans from the government to continue to complete housing for both rental & private homes, condos. Unfortunately, both the conservatives and the liberals are deeply in the pockets of real estate developers as they are usually the only people with enough money to talk to actual politicians, so I don't see this happening anytime soon. The system works

  9846. 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.

  9887. 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).

ALSO, even better, regardless of a recession, any massive federal government failures in every possible way, none of it would be relevant as anything short of total commitment to total WAR or " patriotism which means slavish devotion to the current administration as you would obviously need to suspend elections to ensure that everything was safe " would be considered not only un-American BUT more importantly a complete and total abdication of duty to the federal government which would be considered anti-Trump which is not only treason BUT actually a crime against god, as Trump is our imperfect vessel against the Left's commie commitment to Satan. This would solve so many problems in terms of being able to pass laws where anything short of celebrating King Donald, would be considered treason & blasphemy and those people could be jailed without trial as Satanic heretics are not entitled to a jury of their peers........ The system works........ I mean, obviously the Nazis set up a false flag for the Reichstag & or the Gleiwitz Polish incident to completely consolidate power during a moment of weakness of government. Luckily the American president, Musk and his supporters are not capable of lying for political gain or consolidating power for a fascist takeover as that would be not only be un-American but more importantly "SAD.........' We just need to let the tide water take us out to sea and assume that the richest people on Earth who were previously being charged or already convicted of multiple crimes have our best interest at heart!!!! Even if they couldn't be trusted, at least there's the AWESOME POWER of Joaquin Jefferies or Chuck Schumer!!!! Phew! I know i sleep better at night knowing that the DNC would gladly trade their wealth and privilege to fight for the basic Rights of average Americans in Weimar Republic 2.0?!?! The system works.

  9920. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploitation of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with CCCP) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  9960. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate. I mean, after they tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder children & drag America into a middle East regional war for the fifth time!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donors that finally turned on Biden to anoint her candidacy, she will have to pick Shapiro who's absolutely perfect. He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports a complete and total genocide in Gaza, but more importantly shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of this mass slaughter of Palestinian children!!! But that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensure that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's commitment to Wall Street by making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! The system works.

  9972. Vote 3rd party 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, 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 (Panther Party is for lack of a better term that has historical context for a parallel political government). The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, trade agreements that are worker centric, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources of the PP 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 PP (Panther Party)for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors (by direct means or omission) we will use our resources to make their 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, the inevitable climate wars are coming. Unless we start organizing now and use our time, $ and souls in pursuit of an organization that is going to support us when the System collapses we will find ourselves without the ability to survive to fight back. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Panther Party

  10014. ​ @sohampansare632 research any of the policies and or trade deals that have made the post-colonial situation what it is today and tell me that it did not contribute to the worst possible situation that they endure today as well as forcing refugees to flee to Europe while further inflaming the economic issues for Europeans and the xenophobic backlash (which is understandable by the way. to label everyone concerned about the refugees and criminals in the street, as racists and clearly don't look like locals is deeply disingenuous and furthers makes the situation worse by not acknowledging the obvious facts). Unfortunately, the Western governments continue to destroy African democracies and resource rich third world countries as a way to continue to exploit their wealth while making sure that their citizens don't enjoy the benefits or development as a very specific policy. Congo is one of the most wealthy resource Rich nations in the world, but has the most poverty possible, this is not a coincidence. There's only a few ways to see this situation; one, is that the African nations are incapable of governing themselves because they are so corrupt and incompetent (coincidentally, totally independent of their race) as well as undereducated that it's completely their fault despite hundreds of years of exploitation that can only be helped with further Western exploitation. Two, African nations have been given so much resources and AID that has further excebiated their corruption endemic to African States they're just "that way" because of something th Or, the 3rd option. Over the last 300ish years of overwhelming exploitation & systemic racism by Western forces to destroy any sense of community while murdering and destabilizing any leaders in Africa has led to the inability of the political forces there to organize in a meaningful way= as they no longer have the people or resources to mount a credible defense against the onslaught of money and the the dark arts of the CIA. Also, let's never forget the monetary policies and general racism of the G7 that has systemically corrupted all of their governments in a way that has made sure that they can never have economic development in a meaningful way that would allow them to move forward. The Western Nations understand that they impovrish African government's due to policies, we enforced on them to ensure that they would never be able to move forward as a economic force or independent political nation. The system works.

  10042. 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). The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way. HOWEVER, if the fire is stoked purposely by the actual Left, it would tell the Corporate Democrats that breaking almost every promise has consequences or if we are really lucky, public awareness that the duopoly will not only not save us!!!! BUT IS ACTIVELY WORKING AGAINST ALL WORKER'S INTERESTS (Even if you make $100,000 a year) and force regular people to understand that after the Palestinians/LEBANESE, it WILL EVENTUALLY BE the country their families are from next. Not to mention the fact, that they're also in the same boiling pot of climate change & that the next climate catastrophe is going to be the pretext for ushering in boots on the ground fascism or disaster in their region that will ALSO have to be ignored in order to PRIORITIZE the ongoing slaughter of the middle East's Muslim people to satiate the blood lust and regional hegemonic intentions of Israel's elite, it's co-conspirators in the American security establishment and of course the ultra wealthy Israeli lobby groups that are more concerned about regional domination than its own people that are ignored along with thier families, THE HOSTAGES!?!?! The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote third party, knowing full well that it will more than likely elect Donald Trump and that you are proud of it because it's better than voting for Kamala's kinder, gentler genocide. 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 as it expands across the region. 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 are 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 f***ing genocide is concerned!?! Kamala is an empty vessel to be filled with the military industrial complex's murderous interests for not only Gaza BUT obviously the broader region & the next place they intend to invade once they've executed every last Muslim man, woman and child. (Sadly, I originally wrote this previous to the Lebanese mass murder campaign of Netanyahu BUT iT WAS COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE AS THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT HAS TOLD US THIS WAS F***ING PLAN.) 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 & will continue to act accordingly. I'm not saying that the Trump presidency is good in any way and will NOT ONLY be a tragic loss of life but will also threaten everything we hold dear as people who care about our ENTIRE community not just our demographic ❤️. What I'm saying is that once we accept genocide as the lesser of two evils, we are no longer human beings but animals who are willing to do anything to survive and I would rather die as a human being defending the dignity of all people, rather than as a Savage animal, killing everything instinctively in its path as an excuse to ignore the humanity of others. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Vote Green 💚

  10071. While RFK Jr is not only fighting for YOUR medical Rights, Human rights, children's rights, Peace & ensuring that people are humanely considered and treated within a fair and balanced system, & especially how inconvenient "mandates" were and of course his complete commitment to mortality....... *Except of course if you are a Palestinian child, in which case over 10000 (definitely more) of them have died from lead poisoning, fed to them externally at over 500 ft per second which doesn't seem to matter to the moral giant RFK Jr or any of the other Christians clearly not interested in what Christ had to say?!?! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure RFK's still WAY better than the majority of these DNC or RNC monsters who supported the same shameless slaughter of innocent children everywhere BUT when Glenn ignores RFK'S own moral failings, Glenn leaves HIS credibility exposed to selective "moral outrage" that only applies to Democrats, who are 110% deserving of it, if not MORE, especially considering they pretend to be the arbitrators of morality themselves while applying that code even more selectively than RFK jr to say the f'n least!!!!! So, this isn't to say Glenn hasn't mentioned RFK'S moral failures before and I don't expect or even want Glenn to bring it up every couple minutes either BUT rather than hinging Glenn's argument on RFK Jr's absolute commitment to the struggle for medical justice, openness in government, I'd have just preferred Glenn said he's going after them without any of the morality preamble?!? Especially considering Rfk OPENLY supports an active pro-ethnic cleansing Israeli government, who are purposely starving children to death!?!? KNOWING full well the dire health consequences to those Palestinian kids WHO ARE NOT FULLY, LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAMAS HAS DONE OR THEIR PARENTS UNDER ANY CONSIDERATIONS OF WAR. ANYWAYS, kids....... 14 and under  (* I think it's unfair to put a child or anyone for that matter into a pressure cooker religious open-air prison where they've starved for literally generations and then ask them to rise above their conditions & peacefully seek a solution despite their families and children being brutally executed for over 70 years?!? I certainly wouldn't have that moral fortitude myself BUT I also don't claim any area as a religious Holy land (either of them!?!) that I need to sacrifice my actual children to in the name of my God and therefore any sacrifices are worth it?!? I'd just move but that's not the point! Point being, murder is murder and most kinds of religious understanding is not to accept it under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES except for ACTUAL LEGITIMATE SELF DEFENSE (The kind where people are in the actual act of killing you and then you kill them defending yourself in combat rather than bombing children cowering in tents from a few kilometers away moving faster than the speed of sound) However, for the overwhelming majority of human history, if you execute an act of War, then you are culpable and bare the consequences of those choices, just like the people you killed. With that said, 14-year-old's who get a gun rammed in their back and are strapped up with explosives and told that their families are going to be murdered, "If they don't do what they are told, they are commanded to, by the apostles of God?!?! These "children"  do not carry the same moral culpability as the rest of us, as they're incapable of understanding the reality of letting your entire family being raped, tortured & murdered for their one God, as a consequence for the denial to carry out the act of God's word as commanded by his Righteous Apostle. Anyone, who says that a tween with roughly less than a 10O months on earth should be morally culpable for his actions based on the worst circumstances literally on Earth, is either being totally disingenuous, is also an immoral religious zealot & or is an a****-ish moron.  """"HORRIFIC, BUT IT MUST BE ADDRESSED,"""" DESPITE THESE 15-17 YEAR OLD ARE "ADULTS" (At this age, I don't honestly believe you are fully culpable for your actions, however, if you were carrying a weapon of war that has the power to destroy other people's lives then unfortunately you are now acting as an adult. Yet 15-17 year olds WHO'S BRAINS HAVE NEVER ENJOYED ADEQUATE NUTRITION TO FULLY FORM, ARE EXPECTED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, REGARDLESS OF THEM NEVER HAVING BEEN IN CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES, EVER, EVEN ONCE ARE BEING INSTANTLY CONVICTED ON SIGHT (BROWN, EQUALS MUSLIM, WHICH MEANS GUILTY) BY VIRTUE OF BEING THERE. PUNISHMENT WITHOUT EVIDENCE CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING WHICH INCLUDES BUT NOT RESTRICTED TO; LOSS OF ALL MATERIAL ASSETS & or loss of GENERATIONAL FAMILY RESIDENCE PERMANENTALY, DEATH, DEATH & TORTURE, DEATH OF ENTIRE FAMILY & OR TORTURE, & OR MULTIPLE SEXUAL ASSAULTS Glenn, I hate the DNC, RNC and the establishment that supports both these corrupt parties but once RFK Jr enthusiastically cheered for the Israeli killing spree as most "Palestinians are the most pampered people on earth," in their open air prison while & embraced the duopoly he lost the "benefit of the doubt" especially considering the understanding these kids will be stalked by not only the extremely painful memories of watching family members murdered in front of them as well as slowly becoming emaciated until death by what I'm told is the most excruciating way to go, starvation BUT EVERY GENERATION WILL SUFFER A MYRIAD OF HEALTH CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL NOT JUST AFFECT THEM BUT THEIR CHILDREN, AS WELL AS THIER GRANDCHILDREN ( Just look up the many research papers on the survivors of Auschwitz and other concentration camps around the world, there is many provable ongoing issues that affect some of the victims to this day.)  Anyone claiming moral superiority while also not speaking out about this diminishes their credibility in every possible way. I genuinely hope that RFK Jr really does have the best interest of Americans at heart, but anyone who can turn A blind eye to children's starving to death is a person I can't trust or understand and why you are placing your credibility on him is something I don't understand and find very disturbing?!?! I hope you are right for Everyone's sake!?!?

  10076. The DNC loves Trump as a way to punish the working class for asking for anything whatsoever that would affect their billionaire donors. 40 years of Neoliberalism has left everyone so desperate that DNC tinkering around the edges, is meaningless. Eventually, after 40 years of failed promises from the DNC to the working class, they're seeing if a strong man is able to deliver at the expense of the most vulnerable in our society, which is the promise of ALL fascists. Trump won't deliver obviously, BUT more importantly his failure will drive the working class back to Corporate Democrats who will offer a kinder version of the same Billionaire friendly agenda with the threat of more authoritarian GOP policies if they dare question their corporate Masters. The sad reality is that the DNC doesn't care if Trump gets elected 3 more times, what they're really concerned about is if Bernie Sanders was to give Americans universal health Care that would cost the insurance industry trillions, if Bernie Sanders would actually educate Americans, which would cost the universities trillions if Bernie was to transition to a green economy which would cost the oil Barons trillions, If Bernie was to stop endless Wars + scale back the military industrial Complex which would cost the War Pigs more than tens of trillions of dollars. Obviously, they'd have Bernie's ass MLK'd long before he got anywhere near doing any of that But it's easier to put in a charlatan like Trump as a grim reminder that the American people only have two choices, a clown Rodeo show fascist that would take away every right the moment he thinks he can do it OR a corporate kleptocracy of Liberal oligarchs who will gamble everyone's human rights and WW3 for their ability to exploit every one in the working class to their advantage and to destroy the entire world environment so that they can go from super wealthy to insanely depraved wealthy. The system works.

  10100. There's nothing in that area in Russia that is relevant to Putun. Yes, it's an embarrassment but sacrificing the lives of so many Russian and Ukrainian soldiers just to make Putin feel sad seems not only ill advised but extremely stupid. There's nothing there that would give ukrainians any sort of bargaining chip or it would have already been protected and regardless it'll obviously be stamped out shortly as there's no way to maintain supply lines. To me, it seems like they're just trying to get past the American election and to give the Democrats some wins on TV for people who are too stupid to understand the obvious truth that the ukrainians will never beat a nuclear-armed Russia with a vastly larger and well-armed Army regardless as to how many useless open fields it destroys or Russian villagers it butchers (I get that Russians have probably done the same war crimes but delivering back more of the same only helps Putin deliver the message that the Americans are coming to slaughter regular Russians and he is the only one to save them.) Let's assume that Putin is the new Hitler as the mainstream media suggests. What do you think Hitler would have done on the last day in the bunker, had he had nuclear weapons? Ukraine has a right to fight back, we should help them BUT not to the point where we damn the entire world to nuclear Armageddon. The fact is Russia isn't going away and the only peace deal that lasts is one that disappoints everyone and loses elections. I'm so sick and tired of the mainstream media's drum beat for war. I get that it's good for ratings and helps all the corporations stock prices, but it makes everyone else in the world suffer for no reason other than to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Ukraine is incapable of winning this war and using more American tax payer dollars to prolong the war for both countries young men who actually have to fight it, does nothing except to enrich the military industrial Complex of both countries, who will continue to benefit from the slaughter of all of these young men. Regardless of how many young Ukrainian men die needlessly, Putin will not turn himself over to the Americans because he's found some sense of morality. The fact is that the American political Elite keeps saying that Putin will never, under any circumstances, ever, no matter how much we invade Russia or encourage his political enemies to assassinate him, will ever use nuclear weapons is more or less a triple dog dare to use nuclear weapons?!?!   I get that Americans are fundamentally stupid and have never actually had to pay the price for their ignorance, hubris and or deeply selfish intentions that everyone who's not American expects well eventually you have to be paid but will probably result in the end of civilization.  Regardless, we are rapidly approaching that moment and more importantly, rather than Americans and American voters who support the genocidal lunatics on both sides who love all these  wars  and the donors who encourage them will SADLY not be the only ones who suffer the consequences BUT rather the entire world.

  10106. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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). 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 P.S. Marianne has even less of a chance than Dr. West, Bernie knows that better than anyone and so should you Kyle.

  10108. 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). The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way. HOWEVER, if the fire is stoked purposely by the actual Left, it would tell the Corporate Democrats that breaking almost every promise has consequences or if we are really lucky, public awareness that the duopoly will not only not save us!!!! BUT IS ACTIVELY WORKING AGAINST ALL WORKER'S INTERESTS (Even if you make $100,000 a year) and force regular people to understand that after the Palestinians/LEBANESE, it WILL EVENTUALLY BE the country their families are from next. Not to mention the fact, that they're also in the same boiling pot of climate change & that the next climate catastrophe is going to be the pretext for ushering in boots on the ground fascism or disaster in their region that will ALSO have to be ignored in order to PRIORITIZE the ongoing slaughter of the middle East's Muslim people to satiate the blood lust and regional hegemonic intentions of Israel's elite, it's co-conspirators in the American security establishment and of course the ultra wealthy Israeli lobby groups that are more concerned about regional domination than its own people that are ignored along with thier families, THE HOSTAGES!?!?! The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote third party, knowing full well that it will more than likely elect Donald Trump and that you are proud of it because it's better than voting for Kamala's kinder, gentler genocide. 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 as it expands across the region. 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 are 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 f***ing genocide is concerned!?! Kamala is an empty vessel to be filled with the military industrial complex's murderous interests for not only Gaza BUT obviously the broader region & the next place they intend to invade once they've executed every last Muslim man, woman and child. (Sadly, I originally wrote this previous to the Lebanese mass murder campaign of Netanyahu BUT iT WAS COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE AS THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT HAS TOLD US THIS WAS F***ING PLAN.) 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 & will continue to act accordingly. I'm not saying that the Trump presidency is good in any way and will NOT ONLY be a tragic loss of life but will also threaten everything we hold dear as people who care about our ENTIRE community not just our demographic ❤️. What I'm saying is that once we accept genocide as the lesser of two evils, we are no longer human beings but animals who are willing to do anything to survive and I would rather die as a human being defending the dignity of all people, rather than as a Savage animal, killing everything instinctively in its path as an excuse to ignore the humanity of others. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Vote Green 💚

  10121. While RFK Jr is not only fighting for YOUR medical Rights, Human rights, children's rights, Peace & ensuring that people are humanely considered and treated within a fair and balanced system, & especially how inconvenient "mandates" were and of course his complete commitment to mortality....... *Except of course if you are a Palestinian child, in which case over 10000 (definitely more) of them have died from lead poisoning, fed to them externally at over 500 ft per second which doesn't seem to matter to the moral giant RFK Jr or any of the other Christians clearly not interested in what Christ had to say?!?! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure RFK's still WAY better than the majority of these DNC or RNC monsters who supported the same shameless slaughter of innocent children everywhere BUT when Glenn ignores RFK'S own moral failings, Glenn leaves HIS credibility exposed to selective "moral outrage" that only applies to Democrats, who are 110% deserving of it, if not MORE, especially considering they pretend to be the arbitrators of morality themselves while applying that code even more selectively than RFK jr to say the f'n least!!!!! So, this isn't to say Glenn hasn't mentioned RFK'S moral failures before and I don't expect or even want Glenn to bring it up every couple minutes either BUT rather than hinging Glenn's argument on RFK Jr's absolute commitment to the struggle for medical justice, openness in government, I'd have just preferred Glenn said he's going after them without any of the morality preamble?!? Especially considering Rfk OPENLY supports an active pro-ethnic cleansing Israeli government, who are purposely starving children to death!?!? KNOWING full well the dire health consequences to those Palestinian kids WHO ARE NOT FULLY, LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAMAS HAS DONE OR THEIR PARENTS UNDER ANY CONSIDERATIONS OF WAR. ANYWAYS, kids....... 14 and under  (* I think it's unfair to put a child or anyone for that matter into a pressure cooker religious open-air prison where they've starved for literally generations and then ask them to rise above their conditions & peacefully seek a solution despite their families and children being brutally executed for over 70 years?!? I certainly wouldn't have that moral fortitude myself BUT I also don't claim any area as a religious Holy land (either of them!?!) that I need to sacrifice my actual children to in the name of my God and therefore any sacrifices are worth it?!? I'd just move but that's not the point! Point being, murder is murder and most kinds of religious understanding is not to accept it under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES except for ACTUAL LEGITIMATE SELF DEFENSE (The kind where people are in the actual act of killing you and then you kill them defending yourself in combat rather than bombing children cowering in tents from a few kilometers away moving faster than the speed of sound) However, for the overwhelming majority of human history, if you execute an act of War, then you are culpable and bare the consequences of those choices, just like the people you killed. With that said, 14-year-old's who get a gun rammed in their back and are strapped up with explosives and told that their families are going to be murdered, "If they don't do what they are told, they are commanded to, by the apostles of God?!?! These "children"  do not carry the same moral culpability as the rest of us, as they're incapable of understanding the reality of letting your entire family being raped, tortured & murdered for their one God, as a consequence for the denial to carry out the act of God's word as commanded by his Righteous Apostle. Anyone, who says that a tween with roughly less than a 10O months on earth should be morally culpable for his actions based on the worst circumstances literally on Earth, is either being totally disingenuous, is also an immoral religious zealot & or is an a****-ish moron.  """"HORRIFIC, BUT IT MUST BE ADDRESSED,"""" DESPITE THESE 15-17 YEAR OLD ARE "ADULTS" (At this age, I don't honestly believe you are fully culpable for your actions, however, if you were carrying a weapon of war that has the power to destroy other people's lives then unfortunately you are now acting as an adult. Yet 15-17 year olds WHO'S BRAINS HAVE NEVER ENJOYED ADEQUATE NUTRITION TO FULLY FORM, ARE EXPECTED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, REGARDLESS OF THEM NEVER HAVING BEEN IN CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES, EVER, EVEN ONCE ARE BEING INSTANTLY CONVICTED ON SIGHT (BROWN, EQUALS MUSLIM, WHICH MEANS GUILTY) BY VIRTUE OF BEING THERE. PUNISHMENT WITHOUT EVIDENCE CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING WHICH INCLUDES BUT NOT RESTRICTED TO; LOSS OF ALL MATERIAL ASSETS & or loss of GENERATIONAL FAMILY RESIDENCE PERMANENTALY, DEATH, DEATH & TORTURE, DEATH OF ENTIRE FAMILY & OR TORTURE, & OR MULTIPLE SEXUAL ASSAULTS Glenn, I hate the DNC, RNC and the establishment that supports both these corrupt parties but once RFK Jr enthusiastically cheered for the Israeli killing spree as most "Palestinians are the most pampered people on earth," in their open air prison while & embraced the duopoly he lost the "benefit of the doubt" especially considering the understanding these kids will be stalked by not only the extremely painful memories of watching family members murdered in front of them as well as slowly becoming emaciated until death by what I'm told is the most excruciating way to go, starvation BUT EVERY GENERATION WILL SUFFER A MYRIAD OF HEALTH CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL NOT JUST AFFECT THEM BUT THEIR CHILDREN, AS WELL AS THIER GRANDCHILDREN ( Just look up the many research papers on the survivors of Auschwitz and other concentration camps around the world, there is many provable ongoing issues that affect some of the victims to this day.)  Anyone claiming moral superiority while also not speaking out about this diminishes their credibility in every possible way. I genuinely hope that RFK Jr really does have the best interest of Americans at heart, but anyone who can turn A blind eye to children's starving to death is a person I can't trust or understand and why you are placing your credibility on him is something I don't understand and find very disturbing?!?! I hope you are right for Everyone's sake!?!?

  10138. @stevenwiederholt7000  I'm familiar Eisenhower, how about you tell me what about ol' Ike is DJT embracing. My closest approximation of Trump's ideology is that he feels the stink is weaponized against him and he wants to weaponize it against the people he doesn't like instead. He also hates government + wants to destroy it so that he can steal more. He doesn't give a s*** about Ukraine, so much as that. That he feels Russia has more to offer him in particular and throwing them under the bus is just business. Nothing personal. Well maybe a little personal LOL. If it was anything like people said about him trying to stop the deep State in war, he wouldn't be sending billions more to Israel to bomb children in an open-air prison. I reluctantly wanted Trump as president just because I figured I would rather not die in World War 3 because of Russia. However, I'm also not a fan of dying in World War 3 because of Iran + if you think that that won't happen, keep in mind that China needs Iran for oil along with the fact that I ran will destroy the middle East if they are attacked and when that happens, it will destroy the means of oil production which will quadruple the cost of gas throughout the world which would directly affect China and all other major players. The only people coincidentally who would do okay from this would be Trump's friends in the oil industry and Russia who would go from being multi-billionaires into multi-trillionaires pretty quick. I don't call that an ideology. I call that a business plan?

  10161. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploitation of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with CCCP) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!?

More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & will sacrifice everyone to their Christian God of mercy. The system works.

  10185. "become a banana Republic" ?!?!? Yeah that ship has sailed, the DNC has committed to a German Wiemer republic staus quo. Also, lets be clear if Feinn were to actually cross the line from auto workers intrests to broader working class intrests and was successful he would be assassinated by a "lone wolf" like every other working class hero. The truth is that 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

  10195. Let's all remember that CTV is owned by billionaires and that they hate the liberal/NDP coalition government and have supported the conservatives and their tax breaks for billionaires in almost every single election. I'm no fan of the Liberals, but let's be honest, the conservatives are going to give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy (mainstream media), service cuts to everyone else, slightly less mass immigration (look up the numbers, the Cons are almost exactly the same on immigration) and of course petty cruelty to anyone who needs help like veterans, the disabled or anyone else who can't help the conservatives get more power and money. If you don't believe me, look up their record or I can send it to you if you want. I understand hating Trudeau, he's a bumbling imbecile but sadly Pierre is something much more dangerous. Pierre is actually very smart and he knows how to manipulate people into voting against their own interests. Don't get me wrong, I get that people are going to do that anyways because they are grossly ignorant of the facts of Pierre's voting record in the 9 years of the Harper government & it's relentless support of corporations and the ultra wealthy. But eventually those choices will come home to roost and people will remember why they kicked out Harper and almost 10 years of debt-ridden government broken promises. Sadly, it'll be after Pierre sells off a bunch of important Canadian infrastructure/land just like Harper did on his last year in government to the highest bidder in order to pretend that he balanced the budget (could you imagine selling your house and then having to rent it from the new owners while telling your family that the balance sheet looks good as your money goes to the landlord every month?!?!).  The conservatives ran out the back door with bags of money (Cons foreign minister Baird literally left government & worked for a Chinese billionaire and a f##$ing Gold mine. It's f**** cartoonish?!?!). Clearly, Pierre is one of the greatest snake oil salesman of our time, even more depressing is that the Canadian people will have to pick up the tab as always on the back of working Canadians. P.s. had Trudeau actually ended first-past-the-post system (FPTP) which he campaigned on and then didn't bring in proportional representation because it allowed Liberals to rule unopposed is why we are going to have a majority conservative government (last time it was 34% of the electorate that voted for conservatives but won a majority )even though the overwhelming majority of Canadians actually don't support that. I understand how much we all f**** hate Trudeau, he is a selfish, entitled horrible piece of s*** that has doomed Canada for the next generation because of his selfishness to conservative corporate rule. F*** Trudeau I hope he gets rectal cancer. The system works.

  10225. Harris will promise a lot to workers, Corporate Joe Biden certainly did?!?!? I think the most important thing is to remind everyone, especially young people, of all Biden's 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 being 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 Left, 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. If they receive 5% of the vote, the Green's get major Federal funding BUT more importantly the DNC wouldn't be able to use the legal system (as much anyways) to attack the Greens despite the fact that there's no ACTUAL legitimate legal grounds BUT solely as LAW-FARE to take time and money from the Green Party to suppress the democratic options of the American people. The system works. Don't support it, vote for Jill Stein's Green Party.

  10228.  @bobf5360  I wrote this about SCOTUS But I think it applies here. I'll let you decide. Rule of law, LOL! Obama assassinated an American citizen who was accused of terrorism and then his teenage son was also murdered as well without charge against the kid or even evidence. When an American President can murder citizens without due process, than the constitution has already been thrown away with impunity.

  10229.  @bobf5360  I study politics and history as a hobby so I'm well aware of that "might makes right!" foreign policy chops of America. Clearly, the American government has felt entitled to murder any democratically elected leader in any country, including its own since WW2 (The world is such a great place as a result!). However, I don't find that comforting and I don't really suggest it as a way to ensure a future for our children that doesn't include drinking out of a puddle after a nuclear Holocaust. The reality is that America's hegemonic power structure is diminishing rapidly as a result of its greed, stupidity and overwhelming lack of foresight based on even the most obvious demographics. The DNC's commitment to the Israeli murder campaign across the middle East (Let alone the idiotic proxy war on Russia, that will 100% end in failure with a million ukrainians dead, but at least BlackRock will become trillionaires!) will eventually lead to them attempting to destroy Iran. When that happens and the Iranians conclude that they're going to die regardless (everyone in the world knows that America's word is worthless), as they understand that there are no "rules based order" as you've just so casually admitted to. They will conclude that killing as many Israelis as humanly possible on their way out makes the only sense seeing as they're going to die regardless. When that happens, I have a very strong suspicion that Netanyahu has made it abundantly clear that unless the USA wipes Iran completely off the map, they will drop a nuke on the capitol of Tehran. However, let's assume that Israel will only do their standard mass murder spree and kill Iranian leadership, even the moderates, the entire region will rightly conclude what the USA has planned for the region. The Iranians have clearly stated that they will 100% destroy all of the oil fields in the middle East if attacked, which will devastate the world economy as the world's oil resources burn. This will be great for American billionaires who own the oil resources that are linked to both the Republicans and Democrats (same with Russia). However, everyone else will endure inflation unlike anything they've ever seen, ever at any point in history, that will make America into Argentina. That is to say, regardless as to whether it's Kamala or whether it's Trump, the American plan seems to me to be a death March, that is eventually going to end in nuclear Armageddon at the worst or complete economic collapse for everyone who's not a billionaire, just so Netanyahu can avoid prison for corruption charges?!?! I'm hoping we could just get him a get out of jail free card and give him a billion dollars to just f*** off. But sadly, not only the American government is too stupid to understand how dangerous this all is, but its population is so deeply ignorant of how outraged the world is against their sponsor of a genocide and how much the world is United in their absolute disgust of what Israel has done while the American government has paid for it. But tell me again why it matters who gets elected in November!?!? Oh yeah, electing Kamala will make for a slower, gentler genocide yay?!?!?

  10245. I spent time during Ramadan (It's when Muslims fast, which is basically when they don't ingest anything during daylight & feast at night which are pretty cool, the food was amazing!!!) in 2002 in Rabat & while I was there, I was asked by people there about the differences between them and the north american society, especially religion. I said the main difference is that Muslims actually believe in their religion, observe it in a meaningful & respectful way unlike a lot of Christians & Jewish people. Especially, when I saw literally millions of people quit eating, drinking, smoking, coffee, everything on the same morning of Ramadan, which was mind-blowing as a white guy from Canada LOL! I can't describe the intense Vibe of that day, that would in anyway give you an idea of how much of a cultural committment to their religion that is, when that many people all stop smoking and drinking coffee on the same morning let alone eating!!!!!!! (Well over 90% of Morocco?!?!) Seriously!!!!! Nothing has EVER compared with Ramadan in terms of the culture shock & when asked what is the major difference between North America & Morocco, is that "OUR" culture says that they're Judean Christian's but we actually observes almost nothing in terms of the teachings of Christ or the old testament and if anything, are the exact opposite, as they use Christianity as a way to actually do the worse things humanely possible that Christ would obviously have condemned and has condemned in pretty much everything he's ever taught throughout his entire time on earth. Muslims are not only a genuine, honest and solemn (but also friendly and hilarious) people who are not only committed to being a "just people," as well as willing to make the ultimate sacrifice personally, unlike Christians, who are completely unwilling to sacrifice pretty much anything (even just moderate discomfort, let alone any kind of personal loss as a result of any kind of a moral stand, or even just a mild inconvenience due to any difficulties resulting from standing up for people who don't help them politically or even financially, whatsoever, for their stated "values," let alone any kind of objective universal values such as human rights, free speech & or hell, just not celebrating the murder of thousands of innocent people, just because they're not the right color, region & or religion?!? The sad truth is that North americans are completely fine with throwing pretty much anyone under the bus. So long as they don't have to smell, a weird smell at the DMV, have to accommodate any kind of religious difference whatsoever. Most of all, to even have just a tiny sliver of empathy for a refugee escaping the hellhole mess that Americans have created for them in their home country when America assassinated their democratically elected leaders & installed a dictator into their country BUT now refuse them the option of escaping the hellhole America has created for their families in the first place!?!?! The West won't be able to murder their way out of the Palestinian issue as they are true believers and won't leave their land by choice & Westerners won't have the stomach to live with danger, discomfort and death that an occupation would require or the obscene level violence The Final Solution in Gaza and the West Bank would require as it would push WW3 into full swing. The system works!!!!

  10257. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America or Britain on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  10276. If America & Russia agreed to drop a strategic Nuke in Ukraine to create a 9/11 event that polarized the electorate giving Trump a 3rd term to "save us" and destroy the social safety net, civil rights, unconstrained power to the military industrial complex & all the powers of a government during a "TOTAL WAR SCENARIO." Even better, regardless of a recession, any massive federal government failures in every possible way, none of it would be relevant as anything short of total commitment to total WAR or "patriotism" which means slavish devotion to the current administration as you would obviously need to suspend elections immediately to ensure that everything was "safe," as this clearly would cause mass protests that is not only un-American BUT more importantly, anti-Trump. Which is not only treason & punishable by death during war BUT actually a crime against God, as Trump is our imperfect vessel against the Left's commie commitment to Satan. This would solve so many problems in terms of being able to pass laws where anything short of celebrating King Donald, would be considered treason & or blasphemy as those people would be jailed without trial as Satanic heretics are not entitled to a jury of their peers........ The system works........ I mean, obviously the Nazis set up a false flag for the Reichstag & or the Gleiwitz Polish incident to completely consolidate power during a moment of weakness of government. Luckily the Trump's administration of Republicans too loyal to the Constitution to consider anything improper. Musk & his supporters are also not capable of lying for political gain or consolidating power for a fascist takeover by weakening the administrative State as that would as a great American intellectual once said, "SAD." We just need to let go of the rope & let the tide take us out to sea and assume that the richest people on Earth, who were previously being charged or already convicted of multiple crimes against Democracy, ultimately have our best interest at heart!!!! HOWEVER, if somehow they couldn't be trusted, at least there's the AWESOME oratory power of Joaquin Jefferies or Chuck Schumer's strong inspirational leadership that would NEVER allow the DNC to fall in line for The Weimar Republic 2.0, In an act of profound cowardice just to protect their own wealth and privilege?!?!? Nope! Clearly our leaders are the selfless people we 'd always suspected and we can all go back to sleep....... The system works.

  10291. Lol, yeah good luck with using Trump fact checks to somehow save this from the obvious disaster that it was. Dementia Joe, who he will obviously now be called because genocide Joe doesn't make sense, as he's clearly not in charge & says everything about the Democrat party. The white house is obviously run by a bunch of goddamn donors and the people who control Washington and not that dodering old man who can't goddamn string two f**** sentences together. Clearly, Biden will not be running for president as he should be sent to an old-timers home as anyone with any goddamn eyes or ears can understand. The real question, is the obvious fact that they would rather Trump win then to do anything for the American people because any sort of primary would have brought in a Bernie Sanders which the DNC despises because they wouldn't agree with genocide or billionaires paying their fair share of taxes and universal healthcare for Americans like any other normal first world country. Obviously, we're all going to die as a result of the dnc's complete and total capitulation to the donor class, the Israelis and The military industrial complex. I can't describe how angry I am, wait. I think I just did.......... How the f*** can they justify this completely horrific s**show that's coming down the pipe?!?! You people suck, the mainstream media sucks and worst of all Joe Biden sucks so bad that he makes Trump look reasonable. F** you & the billionaires who run America. I guess we understand now why Biden is Netanyahu 's B****.

  10298. F the DNC. 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........ 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.

  10326. Vote 3rd party 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.

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 (Panther Party is for lack of a better term that has historical context for a parallel political government). The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, trade agreements that are worker centric, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources of the PP 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 PP (Panther Party)for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors (by direct means or omission) we will use our resources to make their lives very uncomfortable (not violence but paid protestors, lawsuits, basically act like a hostile corporation).

  10348. Sure, sure Trump obviously sucks BUT can we at least acknowledge the fact that Israel just used pagers and phones to blow up random people in Lebanon?!? Yeah, yeah, yeah...... Hezbollah is evil and all that, despite the obvious fact that they're part of the democratically elected government of Lebanon, the fact remains that even if they are the sole purveyors of all evil in the middle East and America is NEVER, UNDER ANY circumstances guilty of paying for the slaughter of innocent women and children........... The fact remains that the Israelis had no idea who was going to be holding those pagers or who was going to be next to it when it exploded?!?!? Which means that the Israelis were comfortable with the murder of the children, which happens to be collective punishment?!.! All because Hezbollah supported Palestinians not being slaughtered by the tens of thousands?!?!? Let alone the blowback to all people in Israel, including Americans around the world, all so that Netanyahu can avoid corruption charges?!?!? This clearly implies that the Israelis are comfortable with murdering anybody, anywhere, under any circumstances, that included women and fucking children which happen to be next to the pagers when it exploded next to the democratically elected leaders in Lebanon!?!? Just to send a message that they don't care about international law, human rights law, or anything that is normal within the context of international borders. They just don't give a f*** and they will murder anyone's children under any circumstances whatsof***ingever and the DNC and Republicans are fully into it?!?!? Kamala will help pick the pager batteries out of the skulls of children to show how much she f***** cares.......... I can't believe that all of the comedians and everyone is just going along with this $hit like it's f**** normal or something?!?! Like they didn't just killed a bunch of people including women and children with f**** pagers that exploded, sorry BUT to repeat, women and children died randomly!?! So that Israel could send a message that they are willing to kill women and children in an effort to fight against The barberism of the Muslim hordes who are willing to kill indiscriminately women and children. WT absolute F !?!? It serves no purpose other than to explicitly acknowledge the fact that the people of Lebanon are explicitly responsible for not only the leadership of that country but also the terrorists & If they don't fight and die in the street against thier own government the Israelis will weaponize regular citizens electronics to blow up anyone and everyone regardless, to send a message that everyone is responsible for everything that their government does?!?!?! Do you understand what implications that f**** has?!?!?! It means that every time anyone's government does anything horrific like say blow up children with pagers, it means that everyone is fair game and that there are no more rules of law at all whatsoever. Jesus f**** Christ, even the mob had rules that there was no women or children, including families. But the Israelis just don't give a f*** + I can't help but think this is a pretext for something even goddamn worse. Looking forward to how you make this into comedy Gold Seth!?!?!

  10361. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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, continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza. 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. Sadly the same with Gaza). Also, let's say we drag Biden across the line and now he doesn't have to face re-election do people 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 sweep 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.

  10369. I get the DNC's justification for genocide BUT unfortunately Americans go to work everyday and pay taxes that are used to slaughter people throughout the world. Which leaves us with an important obligation to educate ourselves and to at least bare witness to these crimes against humanity and speak out in whatever way is possible. If you are a Liberal, a soft introduction for accurate reporting, I'd start with Brianna Joy Gray's "Bad Faith Podcast' (She was Bernie Sanders communications director originally but they've fallen out over his support of Biden's neoliberal agenda. She's Not only very well spoken but is genuine to the point of me being very concerned about her personal safety as she pulled no punches no matter how powerful the other group is.) BJG has a little bit of everything, but always a genuine, thoughtful discussion of many different issues that are extremely difficult that never tells you what to think just that what are the many things to consider. Chris Hedges (* just absolutely f**** brilliant, sorry I just can't help myself. Even my favourites on this list are a bit repetitive but every time I see any Chris Hedges interview, it's always informative in a new way on the same subject. Seriously.) Hedges was originally from the New York Times but was fired for accurately reporting on the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan. He's gone on to report from most war-torn country in the world and continues to be one of the most considerate, thoughtful people in the entire world. The man actually speaks Arabic for f*** sake. And yes of course Glenn Greenwald & before your Liberal mind groans, bare in mind that if he wasn't reviled by corporate media for reporting on many uncomfortable truths about the DNC (especially for calling out the corporate media's disgusting COMPLICITY!!!!), he has a journalistic trophy case that would place him literally in the top 5 of all time and still be competitive for #1. Arguably breaking some of the most important stories of our age, yet a multitude of EXTREMELY important journalism that continues to be ignored. Yeah, I know he sometimes plays footsies with the right-wing discourse but STILL does his journalistic due diligence in reviewing their particular concerns such as the total b***** that was Russia gate, the LIE that was the Hunter Biden laptop and other things that have been generally dismissed by the mainstream media but have actually been true despite the smear campaigns against him from the DNC & their cheerleaders in the MSM!!! However sympathetic Glen is to Trump's supporters, it's never inaccurate but definitely friendly and @ times arguably glosses over certain facts to keep his Libertarian audience engaged. Still, he does call out Trump & Israel regularly which isn't financially a great choice but I think it's important that he does so, because it's the only way to get any information that is remotely accurate to those people and hopefully helps de-program them eventually . Yes, he plays a bit of a spoiler role in terms of letting them think a little worse of Democrats as he clearly despises the DNC for its totally disingenuous commitment to the working class. But let's be honest, the Democrats havent done much for anyone except for the billionaires that donate to their parties, so not a lot of tears lost there! (*Before you send me that tedious list of legislative accomplishments, so tirelessly trotted out when anyone complains about Biden's many failures, keep in mind I've made a very long and also tediously extensive list of all the things he promised on the campaign trail to beat Bernie Sanders. The things he obviously didn't want to do like student debt relief but was forced to, then promptly rescinded the moment he could or half delivered once Bernie Sanders killed his own movement's ability to extract any concessions from power. Sadly. The reality is the DNC does the least amount possible for everyone else while rewarding the donor class and has done so for last 40 years on purpose, which is why they are electorally tied with an almost 80 year old TV gameshow host convicted of multiple felonies along with sexual assault conviction and an attempted coup against the country he's running to lead, not mentioning multiple bankruptcies, fraud charges as well as working for McDonald's?!?!?!?(Remember that purple Grimace Commercial) Understand that every time a liberal tells me that the DNC is at least better than the RNC?!?!? What I hear is that Mussolini was better than Hitler........ok, sure Mussolini may have killed people slower or less than Hitler but I'm still not interested in voting for the lesser of two evils when it comes to genocide. The system works Vote for the Green Party. Voting to actively support genocide is not only wrong, immoral and against what ANY religion preaches. It tells the billionaires who actually run the DNC that genocide is a winning proposition. (If anyone can send me any religious texts that says god wants you to support the lesser of two evils?!?!? I'll be very impressed! And will send them A gift certificate for a $100 gift card at any Boeing, Raytheon and or your local military industrial complex community supplier.)

  10385. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate. I mean, after they tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder children & drag America into a middle East regional war for the fifth time!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donors that finally turned on Biden to anoint her candidacy, she will have to pick Shapiro who's absolutely perfect. He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports a complete and total genocide in Gaza, but more importantly shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of this mass slaughter of Palestinian children!!! But that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensure that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's commitment to Wall Street by making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! The system works.

  10421. PIERRE'S HOLLOW TALKING POINTS federally I think Mad Max is actually what Polllievere talks about but doesn't vote for. As for policies I don't think "stop the gatekeepers" is a policy as I'm sure he's not going to allow mixed social housing to be built next to his house or any of his wealthy donors either. Same with firing bank of Canada, sounds good but the corporations that back him won't accept anything that hurts their bottom line. He'll cut taxes, probably save the middle class about $800-$1000 in taxes but will cut carbon tax rebates so more like a $500 savings while giving corporations millions in tax breaks. Now when you cut revenue it drives up the deficit and destroying the CBC won't save billions in lost tax revenue so he'll have to go after government services and add "service fees" for other government services (exactly what Harper did and PP voted for). As for the Oil industry, he can't force multinational corporations to use Canadian oil as that amounts to nationalization and that's commie talk. But let's pretend that he did, Saudi oil is almost 5 times cheaper to produce a barrel of sweet crude than Canadian oil not to mention we don't have refining capacity so imagine how paying quadruple the price of "Canadian gas" would go over. Pretending he's going to build a pipeline to the east coast (that the multinational companies said wasn't financially viable) may sound good but won't actually happen either. The only thing he's said that appeals to me is how he's going to force the medical profession to accredit immigrants BUT that industry is incredibly powerful and is unlikely to give away their monopoly not to mention most Albertans won't want to see a Bangladeshi Dr. His platform is buzz words and slogans without numbers or anything that is measurable because he knows that people would actually crunch those numbers and tear him to shreds. It's easier to make promises to the base, reassure the wealthy that nothing will change and ride a wave of dissatisfaction with the Liberals to office. Sounds familiar, that's what Trudeau did with Harper.

  10445. No, sadly Biden is first and foremost, "Non compos mentis" & it just looks like angry Lefty's attacking an elderly statesmen who was was doing his best in a "complicated" situation (a 1000 f**** percent LIE & NOT how I feel about it, but you can guarantee that's how it would be portrayed by the corporate media for the obvious reasons & by the usual suspects.......). Regardless, Even if somehow either court were to miraculously convict the former president, the bigger issue is that He's unlikely to actually end up serving time as just the appeals alone would easily get him to the end of his life. Worse still, The optics would be horrific and for what? to put an old man who didn't know what was going on in jail for half a month or two before he dies anyways?!? No, my focus would be on all of the people who supported him, like Kamala, Anthony blinken and all of the state department's complicity and their roll in the genocide. More specifically, who knew what & when?!? Therefore, it comes down to the understanding that Netanyahu had zero intention of bargaining in good faith and every intention of ethnically cleansing Gaza. Who was legally responsible for the upper echelons of the government that helped carry out those crimes against humanity and most important of all, the statement of facts concerning the full disclosure of why the decisions were made, by whom and exactly when!?!?!?! Let's be honest, none of these people will ever face any actual REAL consequences for this truly heinous crime against humanity, but what I think is possible is a mostly accurate accounting of what they did, so that they will forever be shamed in public and in history. But more importantly, it will serve as a grim reminder to those who want to do more of the same , that these crimes will be documented and they will not be able to pretend it didn't happen. It's not much considering the severity of their crimes, but it sure as f*** better than nothing. So even if you don't serve jail time, your children will know that you helped slaughter literally tens of thousands of innocent children and buried actual babies under piles of smoldering rubble, while they either slowly cooked or we're starved to death, while their mothers heard their sad screams at the unnecessary end of the tiny sad lives....... It's grotesque in every way humanly possible, but anything short of this, would be another crime against humanity if we can't even document the evil that has been done under the name of the Democrats, who claim the mantle of freedom, Justice + humanity, all while overseeing a literal f**** genocide. The system works.

  10481. 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, 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 (Panther Party is for lack of a better term that has historical context for a parallel political government). The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, trade agreements that are worker centric, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources of the PP 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 PP (Panther Party)for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors (by direct means or omission) we will use our resources to make their 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, the inevitable climate wars are coming. Unless we start organizing now and use our time, $ and souls in pursuit of an organization that is going to support us when the System collapses we will find ourselves without the ability to survive to fight back.

  10490. VOTE 3RD PARTY!!!! The reality is that the duopoly is going to win regardless BUT if a massive voter turnout for 3rd parties occurs it could possibly get 5% for official federal government support and more importantly start to break the back of corporate domination of both parties. Besides, 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).

  10508. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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). 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 P.S. Marianne has even less of a chance than Dr. West, Bernie knows that better than anyone and so should you Kyle.

  10523. MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concern yourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............

  10532.  @douglasanderson7301  some of the tenants of Libertarianism are profoundly important and crucial to a free and open society. However, the idea of defunding government and more importantly social programs that helps the less advantaged is not only unnecessarily cruel but not helpful to society as a whole. If you look at America during the 50's & 60's during the beginning of the welfare state as well as the expansion of government helping returning GI's to own homes is the largest expansion of the middle class EVER. During this time corporations and top earners paid one of the highest tax rates and this era is still considered the golden age of the American dream. Interestingly, these same rates and programs apply to most northern European countries today which have consistently been rated as the highest health outcomes, education, retirement and happiness in the world. I don't believe this is a coincidence. Don't get me wrong, vaccine mandates, government censorship about the same, over regulation of housing and on and on and on is something that Libertarians have an extremely valid point on and these over reactions and authoritarian tendencies threaten our very liberties. However, the idea and conceit that the world can answer these issues by throttling government and reducing public contributions to world problems is simplistic and doesn't address the overwhelming issues that confront us today. To simplify the point is to say that generally speaking the only people who push for libertarianism are the ones that have nothing to lose by the state not doing the role that it was elected to do.

  10539. ​ @asad112 Yes but smearing Jill Stein is the total purpose of the segment. Here's my argument below. I'm curious as to what you think? Thanks 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........   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........ 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 that unfortunately genocide is the WORST and that 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 even if it's a little bit slower. The DNC MUST LOSE and it needs to be demonstratively because of Gaza. They also need to know that they will lose next time because of Gaza, then they need to understand that they will be in the political wilderness forever because the actual left will not be complicit in the murder of innocent men and women and children. Anything short of that is a recipe for the continued slaughter of people all over the world based on the idea of lesser of two evils.    The system works. Let's stop supporting it.

  10546. LOL?!?!?!? So let me get this straight, Zach (merely a non-biased journalist, just calling out all those basic facts. You know balls and strikes LOL!!) is the MOST worried about the ADL in Germany being elected, which is still a German electoral party that unfortunately supports extremely harsh and or racist views and policies which therefore qualifies as the most disconcerting threats to democratic norms today, which informs aspects of the current lurch to the populist Right-wing authoritarianism?!?;! Shockingly, absent in all of this conversation is the ONLY F***ING country that not only a year and a bit ago had a massive national citizen protest encompassing hundreds of thousands of people and were the largest component of society in that country EVER because it's far-right government was trying to undermine the supreme Court so that it could force through a president who was under charges of corruption so that he could clear himself of those charges while also undermining human rights that protected brown Muslim populations who he openly, along with his co-conspirators, hated with a burning passion for decades. Weirdly, The same president managed to stay in power by bungling the worst terrorist attack atrocity of our age by completely ignoring the intelligence reports of not only two other countries warnings but literally of his own security apparatus?!?! Still, that failure just didn't matter because then this mystery president spent the next year slaughtering tens of thousands of innocent women and children in a blatant and obvious murder campaign to terrorize everyone into fleeing in what has been credibly charged as a genocide. But wait, that's not all?????? The same president then started a war with all of its neighbors and its reason for continuing to do such is that the neighbor's demand that This president's stop slaughtering all the men and women and children they are in charge of and in exchange they will stop bombing as well. But unfortunately, this President needs to continue to slaughter all these children in order to stay in power. So sadly. They have to die. Even better!! This President is now pushing for a broader regional War, forcing America's mentally disabled president to pay with his citizens money for a homicidal rampage across the entire region that will not only kill hundreds if not millions of people, but will also drive up inflation in his own country so high as to destroy the lives of everyone who isn't a billionaire also coincidentally making even more money from this very conflict!!?!? BUT WAIT, TELL ME AGAIN ZACH ABOUT HOW WORRIED YOU ARE ABOUT A GROUP OF GERMAN PARLIAMENTARIANS OF THE ADL THAT ARE SHOUTING MEAN WORDS AND BEING THE USELESS LOUD DICKS THAT THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE ALWAYS ARE IN A MINORITY m PARLIAMENT?!?!?! Hasbara is one thing BUT for this level of outrageous propagandist cognitive dissonance deserve to have a brand new name or a f*** award or something because it's just so f**** disgusting. How the f*** do you people sleep at night?!?! I'm not religious but f*** I hope you are and I hope you have to stand tall before the man and speak for your crimes against humanity.

  10567. At least the Reform party is honest about racism. Brexit made it pretty clear people would rather lose money and their standard of living rather than allow polish people to clean their toilets & or refugees from countries that Britain helped destroy in the first place, to escape the tragedies that American/UK wars caused in the middle East, all while Starmer wrings his hands, in order to avoid the Israeli lobby's ire, so that Starmer could assume leadership by virtue of helping them smear Corbyn without any evidence WHATSOEVER of being an anti Semite?!? Could you imagine if the security establishment, along with the media & EVEN the Labour party itself, wasn't allowed to smear Corbyn without ANY EVIDENCE! Corbyn would have been an actual Leader who'd have prioritized UK workers over the ultra wealthy, rebuilding UK infrastructure from the calamity of Thatcher's privatization, the decency not to support Israel's genocidal slaughter campaign and on and on and on.......... NOPE! Sorry, the establishment forced the human embodiment of a shart come to life, to ineffectually "lead" the UK to a historic loss to Nigel Farage's Reform?!? Why?!? Well, it's the same reason that the Democrat party in the USA decided that they would rather Trump than Bernie Sanders!!! The donors of both parties benefit from a loss to conservatives who will cut taxes, deregulate dirty industries, reward billionaires for their corruption and ensure that the working class continues to pay for the elites in both parties to carry out a legal and immoral Wars against poor Muslim and brown people all over the world. The system works.

  10572. 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). The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way. HOWEVER, if the fire is stoked purposely by the actual Left, it would tell the Corporate Democrats that breaking almost every promise has consequences or if we are really lucky, public awareness that the duopoly will not only not save us!!!! BUT IS ACTIVELY WORKING AGAINST ALL WORKER'S INTERESTS (Even if you make $100,000 a year) and force regular people to understand that after the Palestinians/LEBANESE, it WILL EVENTUALLY BE the country their families are from next. Not to mention the fact, that they're also in the same boiling pot of climate change & that the next climate catastrophe is going to be the pretext for ushering in boots on the ground fascism or disaster in their region that will ALSO have to be ignored in order to PRIORITIZE the ongoing slaughter of the middle East's Muslim people to satiate the blood lust and regional hegemonic intentions of Israel's elite, it's co-conspirators in the American security establishment and of course the ultra wealthy Israeli lobby groups that are more concerned about regional domination than its own people that are ignored along with thier families, THE HOSTAGES!?!?! The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote third party, knowing full well that it will more than likely elect Donald Trump and that you are proud of it because it's better than voting for Kamala's kinder, gentler genocide. 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 as it expands across the region. 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 are 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 f***ing genocide is concerned!?! Kamala is an empty vessel to be filled with the military industrial complex's murderous interests for not only Gaza BUT obviously the broader region & the next place they intend to invade once they've executed every last Muslim man, woman and child. (Sadly, I originally wrote this previous to the Lebanese mass murder campaign of Netanyahu BUT iT WAS COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE AS THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT HAS TOLD US THIS WAS F***ING PLAN.) 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 & will continue to act accordingly. I'm not saying that the Trump presidency is good in any way and will NOT ONLY be a tragic loss of life but will also threaten everything we hold dear as people who care about our ENTIRE community not just our demographic ❤️. What I'm saying is that once we accept genocide as the lesser of two evils, we are no longer human beings but animals who are willing to do anything to survive and I would rather die as a human being defending the dignity of all people, rather than as a Savage animal, killing everything instinctively in its path as an excuse to ignore the humanity of others. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Vote Green 💚

  10578. There's nothing in that area in Russia that is relevant to Putun. Yes, it's an embarrassment but sacrificing the lives of so many Russian and Ukrainian soldiers just to make Putin feel sad seems not only ill advised but extremely stupid. There's nothing there that would give ukrainians any sort of bargaining chip or it would have already been protected and regardless it'll obviously be stamped out shortly as there's no way to maintain supply lines. To me, it seems like they're just trying to get past the American election and to give the Democrats some wins on TV for people who are too stupid to understand the obvious truth that the ukrainians will never beat a nuclear-armed Russia with a vastly larger and well-armed Army regardless as to how many useless open fields it destroys or Russian villagers it butchers (I get that Russians have probably done the same war crimes but delivering back more of the same only helps Putin deliver the message that the Americans are coming to slaughter regular Russians and he is the only one to save them.) Let's assume that Putin is the new Hitler as the mainstream media suggests. What do you think Hitler would have done on the last day in the bunker, had he had nuclear weapons? Ukraine has a right to fight back, we should help them BUT not to the point where we damn the entire world to nuclear Armageddon. The fact is Russia isn't going away and the only peace deal that lasts is one that disappoints everyone and loses elections. I'm so sick and tired of the mainstream media's drum beat for war. I get that it's good for ratings and helps all the corporations stock prices, but it makes everyone else in the world suffer for no reason other than to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Ukraine is incapable of winning this war and using more American tax payer dollars to prolong the war for both countries young men who actually have to fight it, does nothing except to enrich the military industrial Complex of both countries, who will continue to benefit from the slaughter of all of these young men. Regardless of how many young Ukrainian men die needlessly, Putin will not turn himself over to the Americans because he's found some sense of morality. The fact is that the American political Elite keeps saying that Putin will never, under any circumstances, ever, no matter how much we invade Russia or encourage his political enemies to assassinate him, will ever use nuclear weapons is more or less a triple dog dare to use nuclear weapons?!?!   I get that Americans are fundamentally stupid and have never actually had to pay the price for their ignorance, hubris and or deeply selfish intentions that everyone who's not American expects well eventually you have to be paid but will probably result in the end of civilization.  Regardless, we are rapidly approaching that moment and more importantly, rather than Americans and American voters who support the genocidal lunatics on both sides who love all these  wars  and the donors who encourage them will SADLY not be the only ones who suffer the consequences BUT rather the entire world. The system works.

  10631. Phew! I was really worried that all those murdered Palestinian children that the DNC helped Netanyahu kill would have been an issue?!? Luckily, Kamala can pretend to not support the genocide until after the election, just like Obama pretended he didn't support Wall Street! Just lie about helping the working class and then reward the banks after its too late! Finally the establishment has agreed Harris will do what she's told, just like Obama. I mean if you're children are going to be massacred, its SO IMPORTANT that they are buried under rubble by the FIRST BLACK WOMAN president!!!!! I'm sure all the Palestinian parents scraping up what remains of their children into plastic bags will feel like progress has been made. The system works! P.S. If you're interested in someone who's still concerned about the ongoing genocide in Gaza and isn't distracted/placated by the usual identity politics that somehow justifies the ongoing slaughter of innocent children. Then I suggest you go check out the "Bad Faith" podcast with Brianna Gray Joy. Her last guest is the leader of vote non committed movement in the DNC primaries, what their plan is now that they've switched to Kamala and how they're going to respond to the old switcheroo which ultimately offers more of the same. I have to be a 110% honest, Kamala Harris has zero ideological commitments to ANYTHING other than her own self-interest (2019 has her as left of Bernie, four short years later and she's prosecutor again.). As horrible as Biden is, there is no way on God's green f**** Earth that Kamala would have withstood the pressure coming from the military industrial complex, to withdraw from Afghanistan, let alone stand up to the most powerful lobby groups on Earth, Israels. We need to start addressing these facts now as it's not going to be enough to say we didn't know this was going to happen. We've seen this playbook before, Obama did the exact same f**** thing. He promised hope and change and then delivered trillions of taxpayer dollars to bailout the people who destroyed the economy while delivering eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black Americans, which is why a black president was appreciated to deliver the message. Just like how Margaret Thatcher was a Kinder gentler version of how to destroy unions and communities with a woman's touch. I find this f**** disgusting and the fact that Sam isn't even mentioning anything of it tells you exactly what side is bread is f**** buttered on. I get it, Trump is obviously a monster too. But at least he says he's a f**** monster and isn't the one saying one thing while literally providing 2, 000lbs bombs to murder God damn children, I want to repeat that for f*** sake. Kamala and the DNC have been supporting the deaths of tens of thousands of children. Innocent children, while the Congress stands an open ovation for the man who has bragged about murdering children. The system works.

  10653. PIERRE'S HOLLOW TALKING POINTS federally I think Mad Max is actually what Polllievere talks about but doesn't vote for. As for policies I don't think "stop the gatekeepers" is a policy as I'm sure he's not going to allow mixed social housing to be built next to his house or any of his wealthy donors either. Same with firing bank of Canada, sounds good but the corporations that back him won't accept anything that hurts their bottom line. He'll cut taxes, probably save the middle class about $800-$1000 in taxes but will cut carbon tax rebates so more like a $500 savings while giving corporations millions in tax breaks. Now when you cut revenue it drives up the deficit and destroying the CBC won't save billions in lost tax revenue so he'll have to go after government services and add "service fees" for other government services (exactly what Harper did and PP voted for). As for the Oil industry, he can't force multinational corporations to use Canadian oil as that amounts to nationalization and that's commie talk. But let's pretend that he did, Saudi oil is almost 5 times cheaper to produce a barrel of sweet crude than Canadian oil not to mention we don't have refining capacity so imagine how paying quadruple the price of "Canadian gas" would go over. Pretending he's going to build a pipeline to the east coast (that the multinational companies said wasn't financially viable) may sound good but won't actually happen either. The only thing he's said that appeals to me is how he's going to force the medical profession to accredit immigrants BUT that industry is incredibly powerful and is unlikely to give away their monopoly not to mention most Albertans won't want to see a Bangladeshi Dr. His platform is buzz words and slogans without numbers or anything that is measurable because he knows that people would actually crunch those numbers and tear him to shreds. It's easier to make promises to the base, reassure the wealthy that nothing will change and ride a wave of dissatisfaction with the Liberals to office. Sounds familiar, that's what Trudeau did with Harper.

  10659. The South America Columbian President's quote at the  U.N. about "Palestine, being the past, present and future of South America," is correct and as I've been saying for some time, Palestinians are the canary in the fascism coal mine.  Once we normalize genocide in Gaza & the climate catastrophe unfolds into a pretext for fascism to address the obvious issues that are inevitable as a result of the climate catastrophe. The genocidal war machine, once completing the example of the benefits of genocides while also serving proof that it can be done, will be exported to the next inconvenient people sitting atop the resources & or land. As the Establishment MUST consume developing nations raw resources without adding anything to their economic development as the lifeblood of neoliberalism is using those raw resources for added value profit BUT more importantly, denying those nations people the ability to not only profit from value added products rather than resource extraction that only enriches the elite of that country BUT more importantly excludes the type of Professional managerial class (PMC) that type of economic development would increase this class of people who would be the ones that could not only help further develop the economy & help train other generations of people who could further develop the nation's economy and resources. Worst of all, it is this intellectual class issue of the PMC that would be able to organize and fight back against the absolute obvious, exploitation of their Nation. Most importantly, the West has learned that they have to always exclude the PMC of any developing nations from any process, as they understand the mechanisms of exploitation which makes them extremely dangerous as they can articulate it to the masses.  Eventually, genocide WILL be exported everywhere, until it MUST be brought home as ALL citizens will eventually understand that they will have received NOTHING from the constant murder of civilian communities around the world and then even racism won't be enough to satiate the blood lust, then it will be turned on anyone who doesn't cheer for the murderers and so on.......... The system works.

  10660. VP Harris is going to continue to support the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children. The DNC is a vote to offshore jobs with "free trade", endless wars and genocide. HOWEVER, the parents of those murdered children can take solace in the fact that our first black woman President PAID to have those kids executed! Or? Stop supporting the duopoly that has sold out the American working class to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Vote for ANY 3rd party, just to let the DNC know that you don't support tax breaks for billionaires or the slaughter of innocent children, it's the only way they will stop doing both. Sadly, the American people tried to elect Bernie Sanders, TWICE. Now, for a third time the elites have not allowed the American people to choose their leader but instead imposed someone who supports unnecessary corporate inflation, the Military Industry Complex rather than helping Americans and crucially, the ongoing genocide in Gaza (every bomb dropped on a child, is literally a library full of books, that are missing in America.) Vote 3rd party if you don't want to be complicit in the execution of those children or the further erosion of democracy? Sadly, if Trump wins he'll do the same thing & in similar numbers as both parties support Netanyahu's genocidal campaign BUT because Trump is hated, people will actually scrutinize everything that he does worldwide to fight back. However, IF Kamala is elected they can go back to brunch because those children will be rip to shreds by the first black woman president in America........ Ugh.

  10667. Trump is the inevitable blowback of 40 years of Neoliberal DNC 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.

  10682. The DNC loves Trump as a way to punish the working class for asking for anything whatsoever that would affect their billionaire donors. 40 years of Neoliberalism has left everyone so desperate that DNC tinkering around the edges, is meaningless. Eventually, after 40 years of failed promises from the DNC to the working class, they're seeing if a strong man is able to deliver at the expense of the most vulnerable in our society, which is the promise of ALL fascists. Trump won't deliver obviously, BUT more importantly his failure will drive the working class back to Corporate Democrats who will offer a kinder version of the same Billionaire friendly agenda with the threat of more authoritarian GOP policies if they dare question their corporate Masters. The sad reality is that the DNC doesn't care if Trump gets elected 3 more times, what they're really concerned about is if Bernie Sanders was to give Americans universal health Care that would cost the insurance industry trillions, if Bernie Sanders would actually educate Americans, which would cost the universities trillions if Bernie was to transition to a green economy which would cost the oil Barons trillions, If Bernie was to stop endless Wars + scale back the military industrial Complex which would cost the War Pigs more than tens of trillions of dollars. Obviously, they'd have Bernie's ass MLK'd long before he got anywhere near doing any of that But it's easier to put in a charlatan like Trump as a grim reminder that the American people only have two choices, a clown Rodeo show fascist that would take away every right the moment he thinks he can do it OR a corporate kleptocracy of Liberal oligarchs who will gamble everyone's human rights and WW3 for their ability to exploit every one in the working class to their advantage and to destroy the entire world environment so that they can go from super wealthy to insanely depraved wealthy. The system works.

  10694. 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, 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 (Panther Party is for lack of a better term that has historical context for a parallel political government). The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, trade agreements that are worker centric, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources of the PP 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 PP (Panther Party)for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors (by direct means or omission) we will use our resources to make their 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, the inevitable climate wars are coming. Unless we start organizing now and use our time, $ and souls in pursuit of an organization that is going to support us when the System collapses we will find ourselves without the ability to survive to fight back. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Panther Party

  10695. Agreed that Hamas is explicitly at fault for executing the hostages, BUT, the fact that Hamas agreed to a peace deal that was put forward by Israel and the Americans, but then completely rejected later by Netanyahu because he realized that he would go to jail for or corruption explains the entire situation. By denying a ceasefire agreement, he purposely put the hostages at risk for his own political purposes. Obviously that doesn't absolve Hamas for the direct role in their killing but the reality is if Netanyahu had actually just did what he said he would do in the first place they would ALL still be alive and that's a fact. You can split all the hairs you want but I'm sure the families of the victims would have preferred that he just did what he said he would do rather than sacrifice their lives to keep him out of prison just a little bit longer. P.S. I've been toying with this for a long time, but can we just legalize corruption for f*** sake?!?!? Can we not just tell Netanyahu he will never pay for his crimes and that we will give him a billion dollars to f*** off?!?! Like, you won the lottery of Democratic stupidity so please just leave without causing more needless deaths. Seriously. I also understand how upsetting and completely wrong that is for his tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of victims, however, I also understand that we're spending tens of billions of dollars to slaughter even more innocent people on a daily basis. Just so this complete and total a**** can avoid jail a little bit longer?!?!?! The fact that we could just offer him amnesty and money to f*** off makes so much more sense?! I think we could call it the corruption rule. If a society is SO f**** stupid, that they continue to elect the same corrupt politician as a result of their complete and total inability to understand or accept obvious facts, that at a certain point, once that politician has accrued enough power to make everyone's lives dangerously unstable, we should be allowed to invoke the corruption law that says our society is clearly too stupid to fairly advocate for our members and that it's time to accept that we are too dumb to do anything other than pay off that person to just leave peacefully?!?!? OR we can continue the needless Slaughter of tens of thousands of people for years to come and the deaths of all the hostages just so this one man can pretend that he is doing anything other than trying to save his own f**** skin? P.s. with that said, he doesn't get immunity anywhere other than the country where he did his crimes. Everywhere else he has to be accountable so that he has to stay where he is most hated. It's not a great system by any stretch, but I'll take anything not to see one more murdered Palestinian Child or hostages sent home in a box for that f**** a**** Netanyahu.

  10727. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate. I mean, after they tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder children & drag America into a middle East regional war for the fifth time!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donors that finally turned on Biden to anoint her candidacy, she will have to pick Shapiro who's absolutely perfect. He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports a complete and total genocide in Gaza, but more importantly shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of this mass slaughter of Palestinian children!!! But that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensure that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's commitment to Wall Street by making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! The system works.

  10758. There's nothing in that area in Russia that is relevant to Putun. Yes, it's an embarrassment but sacrificing the lives of so many Russian and Ukrainian soldiers just to make Putin feel sad seems not only ill advised but extremely stupid. There's nothing there that would give ukrainians any sort of bargaining chip or it would have already been protected and regardless it'll obviously be stamped out shortly as there's no way to maintain supply lines. To me, it seems like they're just trying to get past the American election and to give the Democrats some wins on TV for people who are too stupid to understand the obvious truth that the ukrainians will never beat a nuclear-armed Russia with a vastly larger and well-armed Army regardless as to how many useless open fields it destroys or Russian villagers it butchers (I get that Russians have probably done the same war crimes but delivering back more of the same only helps Putin deliver the message that the Americans are coming to slaughter regular Russians and he is the only one to save them.) Let's assume that Putin is the new Hitler as the mainstream media suggests. What do you think Hitler would have done on the last day in the bunker, had he had nuclear weapons? Ukraine has a right to fight back, we should help them BUT not to the point where we damn the entire world to nuclear Armageddon. The fact is Russia isn't going away and the only peace deal that lasts is one that disappoints everyone and loses elections. I'm so sick and tired of the mainstream media's drum beat for war. I get that it's good for ratings and helps all the corporations stock prices, but it makes everyone else in the world suffer for no reason other than to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Ukraine is incapable of winning this war and using more American tax payer dollars to prolong the war for both countries young men who actually have to fight it, does nothing except to enrich the military industrial Complex of both countries, who will continue to benefit from the slaughter of all of these young men. Regardless of how many young Ukrainian men die needlessly, Putin will not turn himself over to the Americans because he's found some sense of morality. The fact is that the American political Elite keeps saying that Putin will never, under any circumstances, ever, no matter how much we invade Russia or encourage his political enemies to assassinate him, will ever use nuclear weapons is more or less a triple dog dare to use nuclear weapons?!?!   I get that Americans are fundamentally stupid and have never actually had to pay the price for their ignorance, hubris and or deeply selfish intentions that everyone who's not American expects well eventually you have to be paid but will probably result in the end of civilization.  Regardless, we are rapidly approaching that moment and more importantly, rather than Americans and American voters who support the genocidal lunatics on both sides who love all these  wars  and the donors who encourage them will SADLY not be the only ones who suffer the consequences BUT rather the entire world. The system works.

  10788. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & or will sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  10801. The neoliberal "middle" of both the center Left and Right that has destroyed the middle class through "free" trade deals that favor Corps over workers, corruption of government that protects the billionaires and of course foreign wars that destroy the economy while wasting precious resources that are needed at home is precisely why people chose populist authoritarian governments. It's this neoliberal consensus of both corporate sides Left/Right that has popularized the Far-right and is responsible for this inevitable slide because of the failed policies that reward the ultra wealthy at the expense of everyone else. When workers are told you can't have ANY socialist policies that helps EVERYONE because immigrants and minorities will bankrupt the country, however, not telling them that's because we give a trillion dollars to the military industrial complex to destabilize the world further and drive up inflation. Therefore, they're given a choice, you can support equality for everyone that will destroy their standard of living or they can have the far right policies that promises material improvements to THEIR LIVES ONLY, that's at the expense of everyone else because that's still in service to the billionaire class, guess what they are going to choose........ The people tried to choose Bernie Sanders & Corbyn twice, but the DNC & Labour and the billionaire donors who owns the party apparatus & media, rigged the process because neither men would serve corporate interests exclusively. The next most popular thing on that list of anti-establishment choice of angst against the corrupt establishment was Trump/Johnson. Now the DNC doesn't even have primaries as the people can't be trusted to put the establishment's interests first and wonder why people are either filled with resentment or complete apathy!?!?! Today, there's thousands of Americans dead from hurricanes, hundreds more are missing and millions are displaced with no hope in sight. In the last 2 years, $40 billion was for FEMA, while well over 200 billion has been spent on the USA killing people all over the world which drives up inflation, undermines American interests everywhere and drives us all towards world War III!?!?! All in the interest that a very, very, small group of extremely wealthy people can be slightly more wealthy and steal the lands of people who'd been there for literally thousands of years?!?!? But tell me again about how it's social media, Fox News, twitter, racism, misogyny, homophobia or anything else other than the fact that people are forced into a choice of us or them?!?!?

  10847. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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 do people 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 sweep 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.

  10869. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2 after the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR. America ,after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism. More concerning is that when the US loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place THEY WILL hold the entire world hostage at the tip of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) & or will sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy. The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

OR: WHY I SUPPORT TRUMP'S SECOND TERM and why I'm more afraid of being complicit in this genocide in Gaza, rather than all the horrible stuff that Trump will do but that the DNC would do as well, however 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 healthcare, 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).

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.

When an American President can muder citizens without due process than the constitution has already been thrown away with impunity.

Then there's Gov. Cuomo who colluded with insurance companies to change safety laws in oldage homes so that they could all be shoved in together if they got Covid saving them millions at the cost of seniors who died alone for their greed. He was politically inconvenient BUT unfortunately he has many DNC skeletons as his family is a political dynasty, therefore a resignation for crimes considerably less egregious that served as a distraction of what could be credibly argued to be mass murder if it could be proved they fully understood the obvious results of placing elderly patients together with Covid. That's why its laughable to believe that the current SCOTUS is anything other than a continuation of business as usual. In fact, at least it rips away the veneer of legitimacy from corrupt court used to protect corrupt politicians. The system works.

  10908.  @technoloverish  nope, I think that Putin was supported by the western leadership (before you talk about this point, look it up. USA, Canada and other western European leadership was favorable towards Putin at first) and supported precisely because of his time in the KGB as anti-democratic authoritarian. Like pretty much every single country getting out from a repressive government they didn't want "real" democracy but rather a client state that would cheaply sell off their resources to the West's corporations while ensuring that the Russian people would have no benefits. That's why Putin was able to sell off Russian assets to the oligarchy and consolidate power in the Russian state. This benefitted the western corporations while making sure that no "bad example" was set for a country's natural resources being used to help it's actual citizens It wasn't until the USA under Bush Jr broke it's promise to Yeltsin to not move NATO one inch closer to the Russian border but instead totally surrounding Russia with nuclear armed NATO new members. Once Putin realized that he was going to be Gadaffi'd by the western governments he took Crimea and said that if Ukraine moved towards NATO he'd invade. Then the USA backed a coup against a democratically elected Ukraine government that was pro Russia because they chose a Russian free trade agreement over the less favorable pro corporation IMF deal (once again, before you call me out look it up. It's literally on a voice recording of the state department picking Zelensky because he would support western corporate interests). Truth is that our governments don't give one s*** about progressive, democracy or freedom, but work entirely for the corporations that pay them. Just remember that all of our governments work for Saudi Arabia, China, India and a whole bunch of other authoritarian leaders. So long as they're paying the right people. It's only when they aren't profiting the corporations that have been chosen that there are no longer " good" governments. The system works

  10975. Yup. I believe that the fallout from all of these tariffs is going to hurt Canadians very badly, regardless of whoever is in government & they are going to be blamed no matter what they did or didn't do. Therefore, I have a massive concern about the Liberals winning by a hair and then getting slaughtered a few years later by the inevitable massive recession that's coming regardless as to who wins or what agreements they make.  As I personally believe the Trump organization is tanking the economy on purpose for a variety of reasons (homeless people don't protest, bankruptcies make for cheap housing BuyBacks that can be turned into rentals, etc). When that happens, nobody is going to remember that PP is a trump wannabe, as PP will just say that he was right and that if you elect him he can make all of their problems instantly disappear.  You have to remember that most people are borderline mentally challenged and when under duress they will believe any snake oil salesman who promises a better tomorrow, regardless of the obvious faults in their logic. That's why PP needs to win a minority government, if he does, then he has to work with the NDP which more or less guarantees that he can't do anything crazy and PP will own the inevitable recession. This will inevitably give enough room to the Liberals so that they can credibly say things have changed and Carney can come back with standard neoliberalism, Rather than PP's hyper neoconservatism that sells out the larger Canadian economy, all for oil and resource extraction.  I can't stress this enough, if Carney wins and eeks out a 3 or 4-year government, he is going to own the inevitable massive decline in the standard of living of Canadians. When that happens, all of the sad, stupid desperate people who watch the world's most concentrated media of billionaires in the world. Will eventually elect PP in a electoral super majority that allows him to ram through every single possible horrific, conservative wet fever dream, I'm talking destroying all of the CBC, bring back the death penalty for fentanyl dealers, life sentences for drug offenses, DOGE'ing the federal government, a complete militarization of the Canadian Army where we buy f-35s that don't actually work to the tune of trillions, dissolution of the FPCC (Farm Products Council of Canada) and the further erosion of our farming communities, 100's of billions of oil infrastructure investment for a single province and a Doug Ford style privatization of Canada's healthcare to "take pressure off healthcare" by allowing the wealthy to skip the line as the rest of our wait times increase as a result & our quality of care declines because when rich people aren't forced to use the same system as the rest of us, they will defund it accordingly, etc.....   The sad reality is Canadians have to be forced to deal with PP's charm offensive on a nightly basis for at least a couple years in order for Canadians to understand what they're buying before he gets a majority government which will 110% f**** happen. If Carney wins he has to wear the the inevitable recession that Trump has planned for the world & PP will eventually be able to tear up any agreement Carney made & sell out Canadian workers to the American Corporations like they did for NAFTA. That's why I'm telling everyone I know to vote their conscience, that means Greens, NDP and god help us all, the PPC. Anything short of that? And they're going to make Cruella Deville Milhouse into Thanos and I'm really not okay with that. Unfortunately, PP is like an STD, it's going to sting for awhile doing our business but it will run its course & we can get back to the usual slow decent into Neoliberalism's boarded up main Street hellscape rather than PP hoisting a 51st flag over Parliament. Not a great choice BUT definitely one with real consequences we need to consider. The system works.

  10986. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploitation of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country, ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beating the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians, the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with CCCP) was actively colluding with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to enforce American corporate interests against the USSR & or Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or resources for US Corporations. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years, of course now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to inevitably happen because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal."

  11058. If America & Russia agreed to drop a strategic Nuke in Ukraine to create a 9/11 event that polarized the electorate giving Trump a 3rd term to "save us" and destroy the social safety net, civil rights, unconstrained power to the military industrial complex & all the powers of a government during a "TOTAL WAR SCENARIO." ALSO, even better, regardless of a recession, any massive federal government failures in every possible way, none of it would be relevant as anything short of total commitment to total WAR or " patriotism which means slavish devotion to the current administration as you would obviously need to suspend elections to ensure that everything was safe " would be considered not only un-American BUT more importantly a complete and total abdication of duty to the federal government which would be considered anti-Trump which is not only treason BUT actually a crime against god, as Trump is our imperfect vessel against the Left's commie commitment to Satan. This would solve so many problems in terms of being able to pass laws where anything short of celebrating King Donald, would be considered treason & blasphemy and those people could be jailed without trial as Satanic heretics and not entitled to a jury of their peers........ The system works........ I mean, obviously the Nazis set up a false flag for the Reichstag & or the Gleiwitz Polish incident to completely consolidate power during a moment of weakness of government. Luckily the American president, Musk and his supporters are not capable of lying for political gain or consolidating power for a fascist takeover as that would be not only un-American but more importantly SAD......... We just need to let the tide water take us out to sea and assume that the richest people on Earth who were previously being charged or already convicted of multiple crimes have our best interest at heart!!!! Even if they couldn't be trusted, at least there's the AWESOME POWER of Joaquin Jefferies or Chuck Schumer!!!! Phew! I know i sleep better at night knowing that the DNC would gladly trade their wealth and privilege to fight for the basic Rights of average Americans. The system works!!!

  11061. There's nothing in that area in Russia that is relevant to Putun. Yes, it's an embarrassment but sacrificing the lives of so many Russian and Ukrainian soldiers just to make Putin feel sad seems not only ill advised but extremely stupid. There's nothing there that would give ukrainians any sort of bargaining chip or it would have already been protected and regardless it'll obviously be stamped out shortly as there's no way to maintain supply lines. To me, it seems like they're just trying to get past the American election and to give the Democrats some wins on TV for people who are too stupid to understand the obvious truth that the ukrainians will never beat a nuclear-armed Russia with a vastly larger and well-armed Army regardless as to how many useless open fields it destroys or Russian villagers it butchers (I get that Russians have probably done the same war crimes but delivering back more of the same only helps Putin deliver the message that the Americans are coming to slaughter regular Russians and he is the only one to save them.) Let's assume that Putin is the new Hitler as the mainstream media suggests. What do you think Hitler would have done on the last day in the bunker, had he had nuclear weapons? Ukraine has a right to fight back, we should help them BUT not to the point where we damn the entire world to nuclear Armageddon. The fact is Russia isn't going away and the only peace deal that lasts is one that disappoints everyone and loses elections. I'm so sick and tired of the mainstream media's drum beat for war. I get that it's good for ratings and helps all the corporations stock prices, but it makes everyone else in the world suffer for no reason other than to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Ukraine is incapable of winning this war and using more American tax payer dollars to prolong the war for both countries young men who actually have to fight it, does nothing except to enrich the military industrial Complex of both countries, who will continue to benefit from the slaughter of all of these young men. Regardless of how many young Ukrainian men die needlessly, Putin will not turn himself over to the Americans because he's found some sense of morality. The fact is that the American political Elite keeps saying that Putin will never, under any circumstances, ever, no matter how much we invade Russia or encourage his political enemies to assassinate him, will ever use nuclear weapons is more or less a triple dog dare to use nuclear weapons?!?!   I get that Americans are fundamentally stupid and have never actually had to pay the price for their ignorance, hubris and or deeply selfish intentions that everyone who's not American expects well eventually you have to be paid but will probably result in the end of civilization.  Regardless, we are rapidly approaching that moment and more importantly, rather than Americans and American voters who support the genocidal lunatics on both sides who love all these  wars  and the donors who encourage them will SADLY not be the only ones who suffer the consequences BUT rather the entire world. The system works.

  11071. CNN pays Fareed to pee down your leg and tell you that it's trickling down "FREEDOM!" instead of boarded up empty Main St's, rust belts & homelessness? The Neoliberal concenus has failed, as people understand that "free trade" has been designed to screw them, so that the ultra wealthy can become DISGUSTINGLY even MORE WEALTHY AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERY ONE ELSE. The DNC base tried to vote for Bernie Sanders, twice, as such, the DNC donors punished them for not choosing a corporate hack in either 2016 or 2020 primaries. Therefore, they weren't even allowed to have a primary this time, as they couldn't be trusted to ensure the interests of the donor class over their own interests. Forcing on them the choice of a demented gameshow host with authoritarian tendencies OR a person without ANY IDEALOGICAL COMMITMENT's TO ANYTHING, WHATSOEVER, OTHER THAN NAKED SELF INTEREST, AS SHE'S ROLLED BACK EVER SINGLE POLICY POSITION THAT WOULD MAKE HER SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER POLITICIAN THAT AMERICANS OBVIOUSLY, OVERWHELMINGLY HATE!!!! I mean, let's remember that Kamala couldn't even beat Andrew Yang in HER OWN STATE?!?!? Fareed's millionaire "journalists" ALWAYS BLAME THE LEFT & working class people's ignorance rather than their complete and total sellout to billionaires!!!!! Can you remember one time, ever, even once that fareed had said anyone other than the Left is the problem & or oddly never the billionaires who pay CNN LOL!?! Despite the overwhelming unpopularity of the Wars in both parties, Fareed "accidentally forgot" to mention a single time that nobody supports killing children in Gaza!?!?!? (clearly depressing the youth vote, Muslims & jews). DNC keeping Biden's decline secret, the fact that DNC knows that Russia can't be beat, the fact that Bernie was screwed by the establishment twice and no primary at all this time, ignoring the fact that they let corporations buy up all the housing, that they crushed the rail workers strike and on and on and on..... No, I'm afraid no lessons have been learned, except that No matter how criminal they act or how obviously they sell out to billionaires, the DNC and it's corporate propagandist's like Fareed will continue to get rich for lying to the American people. My only hope is that they will continue to be shown as complete and total FRAUDS with not only zero morality but an actual malevolent hate towards real journalism as it threatens their ability to extract wealth for propaganda. The system works.

  11090. 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.

  11110. The DNC's sole purpose is to block Bernie, the Left & the working class in order to force Americans to choose between empty identity politics neoliberalism or Republican's violent fascism. Unlike the tea Party that just wanted to push further right, they don't threaten power, but anything that is a genuinely leftist movement is a direct challenge to establishment power and that will be met with an extremely severe response. 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 for the right-wing reactionaries they let commit atrocities for them and in many cases directly funded. 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 or their families who can credibly challenge power. This doesn't even have to be that the CIA will explicitly murder you like they did to the Kennedys or Martin Luther King , they can just make it clear that in terms of the overwhelming murder threats that they will let it happen or in some cases, facilitate it like Malcolm X. AOC gets threatened with the most obscene acts possible on an hourly basis & those threats may 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 Establishment in a real and meaningful way and are a visible threat that could actually galvanize public support, 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 elected 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 from the police, who were actively murdering black community members until BP formed armed groups to protect them from killer cops. (Fun fact, Ronald Reagan was the first governor to bring in gun laws and it was directly in response to the Black Panthers trying to protect their community members) They were the most successful anti-capitalist party in American history. The fact that they were extra judiciously murdered by the State and falsely imprisoned, tells you how much of a threat they actually were, how the establishment consider that threat and what they're prepared to do about it. It also clearly illustrates the perils of not understanding what will happen to any movement that threatens the establishment. The Panthers figured it was just the beat cops who were corrupt and dangerous rather than the CIA and the FBI that eventually framed them for crimes. They didn't commit, saboteurs and eventually just straight up bombing and murdering them. 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 & the Billionaires aren't taking prisoners. Our lead ers need to have genuine protection from the state as it is 100% up to get you. 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, have people in important positions that end up as traitors because they have been poorly educated on the perils that 110% await them. 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 by Pelosi on the floor, "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." I didn't hear say that, I didn't need to the fact that she started bawling right then and there weren't tears of joy. Clearly, AOC 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 discussed how LBJ hired disgraced ex CIA Leader Dulles to investigate the JFK assassination Oddly, Dulles had been fired by JFK because JFK didn't want to pursue a genocidal campaign of terror against Cuba or the USSR. LBJ was also a deeply corrupt man and was the exact opposite of JFK, another coincidence was 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.) They have ruled with an Iron fist ever since.  The fact that Kamala Harris was 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. Unfortunately the general public aren't willing yet to accept the moral depravity of the DNC and it's minions & or hostages. The public is very angry and is aware of the dnc's corruption but not quite 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 it causes to anyone. 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, The Weimar Republic 2.0....... 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.

  11122. The DNC loves Trump as a way to punish the working class for asking for anything whatsoever that would affect their billionaire donors. 40 years of Neoliberalism has left everyone so desperate that DNC tinkering around the edges, is meaningless. Eventually, after 40 years of failed promises from the DNC to the working class, they're seeing if a strong man is able to deliver at the expense of the most vulnerable in our society, which is the promise of ALL fascists. Trump won't deliver obviously, BUT more importantly his failure will drive the working class back to Corporate Democrats who will offer a kinder version of the same Billionaire friendly agenda with the threat of more authoritarian GOP policies if they dare question their corporate Masters. The sad reality is that the DNC doesn't care if Trump gets elected 3 more times, what they're really concerned about is if Bernie Sanders was to give Americans universal health Care that would cost the insurance industry trillions, if Bernie Sanders would actually educate Americans, which would cost the universities trillions if Bernie was to transition to a green economy which would cost the oil Barons trillions, If Bernie was to stop endless Wars + scale back the military industrial Complex which would cost the War Pigs more than tens of trillions of dollars. Obviously, they'd have Bernie's ass MLK'd long before he got anywhere near doing any of that But it's easier to put in a charlatan like Trump as a grim reminder that the American people only have two choices, a clown Rodeo show fascist that would take away every right the moment he thinks he can do it OR a corporate kleptocracy of Liberal oligarchs who will gamble everyone's human rights and WW3 for their ability to exploit every one in the working class to their advantage and to destroy the entire world environment so that they can go from super wealthy to insanely depraved wealthy. The system works.

  11126. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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, continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza. 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. Sadly the same with Gaza). Also, let's say we drag Biden across the line and now he doesn't have to face re-election do people 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 sweep 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.

  11131. And yet you capitulated to Biden for zero concessions while Biden broke every campaign promise from 2020. Now you ask us to vote again for genocide Joe who supports Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians?!? When they push Joe over the line and he serves another 4 years of neoliberal policies, it will usher in a competent fascist GOP movement in 2028 that will control all three branches of government as people will be outraged by Joe Biden's complete and utter failure to improve the lives working people. At that time you will be complicit in their crimes and I hope the millions you've accrued for you and your family will help you sleep at night on the graves of all the people your complicity has cursed. The system works.. Bernie Sanders dropped out of the 2020 primary and endorsed Biden without a single concession for his endorsement. Biden did what all Democrats do once in power, he broke his campaign promise for a $15 minimum wage, public option, not to issue any oil drilling on federal lands, fully funded infrastructure package, voting rights, not putting refugees & their children in cages, not one more mile of Trump's border wall, police reform, making Saudi Arabia's MBS pay for the murder of an American journalist, cynically cancelling student debt in a way that he knew SCOTUS would stop and all the other promises he knew he had no intention of keeping. Bernie, let that happen by not forcing him to at least do one single thing by threatening to withhold his endorsement. Now, in 2024 Bernie once again is asking us to vote for Genocide Joe without any commitment on anything. Bernie could pretend that he didn't know any better in 2020 and Joe Biden lied to him. However, now he knows that Joe Biden is a liar and if he supports Joe without demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, Bernie will be complicit in the he ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. The system works.

  11176. Let's always remember people like Medhi were more than comfortable to ingratiate himself with corporate media by throwing people who were actually brave enough to stand up against the Israeli propaganda way under the bus, people like Jeremy Corbyn. That's why he still supports the Democratic party despite its overwhelming support of genocide, or his overwhelming support of the Labour party in Britain who also supports the genocide in Gaza. Medhi supports both of those governments whole heartedly. He does that because he wants to be on the side of money and influence in the establishment. He's a sellout and is exactly as Norm Finkelstein describes him......... MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concernedyourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............ Clearly, Medhi is a great attack dog and I'm glad that he is setting his sights on the people who are perpetrating these atrocities, however, The reality is that anyone who can so casually blow in the direction of the corporate wind, can't genuinely be trusted and is ultimately dangerous as they can never, ever, under any circumstances to be trusted not to do it again once defending the truth becomes inconvenient or expensive.  Until I see Medhi actually sacrifice anything to help anyone other than himself, I will never trust him again.

  11194. What's the point!?!? The DNC supports Netanyahu's obviously genocidal lunatics as well as Israel's obvious plans to force America to fight the wars that Israel picks so that American taxpayers pick up the tab in $ & American lives for Israel's immoral bloodthirsty attempts to destroy the region in the hope that Israel can rebuild it with Americans money based on a fascist white Jewish ethnostate!?!! You can't have the President say out one side of his mouth that murdering tens of thousands of innocent Muslim children makes him sad BUT out the other side that Biden supports Israel's deranged mass murder spree across the middle East and that it will continue to do so NO MATTER WHAT?!?!? I understand that this passes without much notice because everyone understands that Joementia literally has no power, influence and or general basic cognitive function at this point, but everyone else DOES understand other than corporate Joe, that the DNC has been making these very specific choices for quite some time and actions speak louder than words. Despite the hand ringing, It's quite quite clear that the DNC has every intention of backing Israel's regime change wars across the middle East, which would 100% destroy any gains made against inflation, would destroy any chances of a broader peace agreement with literally anyone in the entire world, as everyone would 100% understand that America is more or less a psychopath who's backing another psychopath on a sequel that nobody wanted: natural born killers 2: poor, brown and Muslim's don't count as HUMAN BEINGS!?!?!?! WTF.

  11196. LOL?!?!?!? Obama's last gigantic middle finger to Biden is spectacular. He might as well have chanted, "Let's go, Brandon!" Thank you Joe, for letting the Donors force you out of the race because you are so decrepit, senile, uninspiring that your 50 years of neoliberal failures like protecting credit card companies over consumers, jailing the most black and brown people of any country ever at any time in the entire history of the world, overseeing a genocide in Gaza that saw the wholesale slaughter of at least 20,000 children in Gaza is truly inspiring. Also, let's not forget his many failures on campaign promises, where he purposely planned that scotus would reject his debt relief for students so he could force young people back to the polls for a third time, his weak capitulation to the parliamentarian on a $15 an hour minimum wage, the fist bump for the Saudi Prince who butchered an American journalist, Biden promised not to drill anymore on federal land and then issued the most permits of any president ever, also let American/Palestinian journalist Shireen abu akleh be obviously assassinated by the IDF with zero consequences, let alone the literal murder by Israel of hundreds of nurses, doctors, journalists and aid workers (EVEN THE WHITE ONES?!?!). Obama took the knife out of Joementia just long enough to remind Biden that he'll never be loved like Obama and that the only reason he won the 2020 election was that Obama and the establishment hated Bernie Sanders even more than they had no respect for genocide Joe Like Obama said, "Let's go Brandon!!!!!"

  11209. 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

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........ 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 a genocide. 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.

  11216. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploitation of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  11256. Hey Fareed, you suck!! Here's why The neoliberal "middle" of both the center Left and Right that has destroyed the middle class through "free" trade deals that favor Corps over workers, corruption of government that protects the billionaires and of course foreign wars that destroy the economy while wasting precious resources that are needed at home is precisely why people chose populist authoritarian governments. It's this neoliberal consensus of both corporate sides Left/Right that has popularized the Far-right and is responsible for this inevitable slide because of the failed policies that reward the ultra wealthy at the expense of everyone else. When workers are told you can't have ANY socialist policies that helps EVERYONE because immigrants and minorities will bankrupt the country, however, not telling them that's because we give a trillion dollars to the military industrial complex to destabilize the world further and drive up inflation. Therefore, they're given a choice, you can support equality for everyone that will destroy their standard of living or they can have the far right policies that promises material improvements to THEIR LIVES ONLY, that's at the expense of everyone else because that's still in service to the billionaire class, guess what they are going to choose........ The people tried to choose Bernie Sanders & Corbyn twice, but the DNC & Labour and the billionaire donors who owns the party apparatus & media, rigged the process because neither men would serve corporate interests exclusively. The next most popular thing on that list of anti-establishment choice of angst against the corrupt establishment was Trump/Johnson. Now the DNC doesn't even have primaries as the people can't be trusted to put the establishment's interests first and wonder why people are either filled with resentment or complete apathy!?!?! Today, there's thousands of Americans dead from hurricanes, hundreds more are missing and millions are displaced with no hope in sight. In the last 2 years, $40 billion was for FEMA, while well over 200 billion has been spent on the USA killing people all over the world which drives up inflation, undermines American interests everywhere and drives us all towards world War III!?!?! All in the interest that a very, very, small group of extremely wealthy people can be slightly more wealthy and steal the lands of people who'd been there for literally thousands of years?!?!? But tell me again about how it's social media, Fox News, twitter, racism, misogyny, homophobia or anything else other than the fact that people are forced into a choice of us or them?!?!? People aren't actually evil, they're stupid and scared which makes for a very poor decision making aunt. When you add in pressure, propaganda with a healthy dose of incentives to do the bad thing and massive sticks to do the right things, it is pretty clear what's going to happen. This was not an accident, it's clearly the plan. The system works The DNC base tried to vote for Bernie twice and as punishment for not choosing a corporate prostitute, they weren't even allowed to have a primary this time and were forced to get behind Kamala, who couldn't even make it into the primaries last time as Andrew Yang was more popular. "If you don't give us the ballot, expect the bayonet" Vote 3rd party If you think elections actually mean anything anymore but more importantly, organize your community as things are going to get much, much worse, as you can ask the people of Flint, Michigan if the government is coming to help.........

  11266. Trump is the unfortunate blowback of 40 years Neoliberal DNC 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 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.

  11295. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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). 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 P.S. Marianne has even less of a chance than Dr. West, Bernie knows that better than anyone and so should you Kyle.

  11309. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploration of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America (enforced by RNC & DNC's blackmail of NATO nations) on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  11342. Mmmmmm, ok here's the rub. This type of vigilante justice fantasy is problematic for the reason that Bill takes out his anger and ultimately violence on people who clearly suck BUT do they deserve what actually happened to them? Perhaps they too were having a, "bad day too?" Why the f*** does Bill get to take out his anger on other people suffering from the same unjust system that is arguably harder on them as they're not an old white male? That isn't to diminish his struggle for how relevant it is to not only his life BUT for everyone else's. Still, this is where I find it really difficult to empathize with the situation as Bill seems to be allowed to take out a much larger vengeance on his victims than is relative to the crimes committed against him & everyone he's pissed off at, could definitely arguably say that they have a bunch of shittier versions of the same f**** thing but with a considerable less amount of empathy or options as a white man. I think the critical drinker on this one needs to drink a little less and be a little more critical. I like this movie quite a bit but I think It's important to view it through a lens of entitlement that says, " Holy s**, I can't believe all this crazy f**** up s*** keeps happening to ME and I'm white?!? If all of this horrible f*** up stuff can happen to me after I did everything the right way and I'm the right color in America. I can only imagine how f**** horrible it must be to be anyone else?!? The fact that this is never mentioned or even considered in the critique, is a disservice to the overall message of the critique and is why I think the critical drinker dropped the shot glass on this one........

  11348. I don't agree with RFK Jr as he seems designed by political consultants to undermine the DNC and appeal to the Right but I strongly support his right to grift just like the rest of the politicians in the American duopoly. The fact that Biden is afraid to debate his positions says everything about the Democratic party. VOTE 3RD PARTY!!!! The reality is that the duopoly is going to win regardless BUT if a massive voter turnout for 3rd parties occurs it could possibly get 5% for official federal government support and more importantly start to break the back of corporate domination of both parties. Besides, 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.

  11380. POILLEVERE'S RECORD OF FAILURE ON HOUSING WHEN LAST IN POWER. by Charlie Smith on November 14th, 2012 at 3:33 PM The Harper government has failed to keep its 2009 promises to the UN. The federal government will have to answer to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva for its failure to keep its promises to the international community around housing. Michael Shapcott, director of affordable housing and social innovation at the Toronto-based Wellesley Institute, told the Georgia Straight by phone that in 2009 Canada made several pledges to the Universal Periodic Review process. This was created by the UN in 2006 to hold countries accountable for their human-rights records by forcing them to answer to questions from other countries. In April 2013, Canada is scheduled to undergo scrutiny of its performance since the last review. “[Canada’s] specific commitment was we recognize more needs to be done, we promise we’ll work with the provinces and territories, and we’ll come up with a strategy,” Wellesley said. “They’ve absolutely completely failed in that regard of having a strategy.” The Wellesley Institute filed a five-page document with the Universal Periodic Review citing a litany of Canadian cutbacks to housing programs. It states that in 2009 the federal government announced $2.1 billion in new funding for affordable housing over a two-year period, plus another $5.7 billion for homeowners in middle- and upper-income brackets. By 2011, these short-term measures were terminated, and there was a 39 percent reduction in affordable-housing funding compared with the previous year. “Since most federal dollars were matched by provinces, territories, municipalities, non-profit and private housing organizations, the combined loss added up to more than $3.5 billion in one year,” the institute declares in the document. “Included in the federal cuts were: 97% cut in Affordable Housing Initiative (new affordable homes) from $452 million to $16 million; 94% cut in national low-income housing repair program from $674 to $37 million; 27% cut in on-reserve Aboriginal housing from $215 to $156 million; and, 5% cut in assisted housing from $1.7 to $1.6 billion.” In addition, the institute revealed that a federal Crown corporation, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, will cut the number of households receiving assistance under federal programs by almost 100,000, or 16 percent, between 2008 and 2016. And CMHC’s expenditures on the Affordable Housing Initiative will fall from $582 million to $0 between 2010 and 2015 CONSERVATIVES ARE AS MUCH TO BLAME AS THE LIBERALS FOR THE HOUSING CRISIS IF NOT MORE SO. BUT MEMORIES ARE SHORT AND PEOPLE ARE STUPID. The system works.

  11414. Vote 3rd party 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, 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 (Panther Party is for lack of a better term that has historical context for a parallel political government). The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, trade agreements that are worker centric, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources of the PP 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 PP (Panther Party)for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors (by direct means or omission) we will use our resources to make their 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, the inevitable climate wars are coming. Unless we start organizing now and use our time, $ and souls in pursuit of an organization that is going to support us when the System collapses we will find ourselves without the ability to survive to fight back. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Panther Party

  11419. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 (greens) 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 do people 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 sweep 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.

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 in 2028 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.

  11466. If only Americans had voted for Hilary Clinton, things would totally be different!?!?!?! Or, if the DNC hadn't forced the American middle class to PAY a larger percentage of their income then multi-billionaire DNC donors? Or, had they not supported all of the unnecessary wars that bankrupted America but enriched all of their friends in the military industrial complex? Or, if the DNC under B. Clinton hadn't imprisoned the most people EVER in a first world country (which coincidentally were overwhelming black and brown people)? Or, if they had not further hollowed out the middle class with trade agreements that favored offshoring jobs to destroy unions & coincidentally benefited the DNC'$ donor friends. Or, if the DNC hadn't fully embraced the same neoliberalism that made offshoring all of those jobs not only possible but extremely profitable at the expense of workers for the benefit of a few. Or, if the DNC had not helped to destabilize governments all over the world that coincidentally enriched their donor's international corporations while also coincidentally driving up a massive refugee crisis with the very people they forced from their homes by those same corporate friendly policies that caused the sad & desperate mass exodus of refugees. Or, all the neoliberal broken promises and lies that led to the election of Trump in the first place. BUT, other than that, Clinton wouldn't have totally done exactly what Biden or Obama did for all the same reasons such as the Military industrial complex, Israel, Ukraine and of course the donors. Nope, we'd ALL be enjoying brunch in Hillary Clinton's Neoliberal Paradise!!!!!!!!!!! The system works.

  11474. If America & Russia agreed to drop a strategic Nuke in Ukraine to create a 9/11 event that polarized the electorate giving Trump a 3rd term to "save us" and destroy the social safety net, civil rights, unconstrained power to the military industrial complex & all the powers of a government during a "TOTAL WAR SCENARIO." ALSO, even better, regardless of a recession, any massive federal government failures in every possible way, none of it would be relevant as anything short of total commitment to total WAR or " patriotism which means slavish devotion to the current administration as you would obviously need to suspend elections to ensure that everything was safe " would be considered not only un-American BUT more importantly a complete and total abdication of duty to the federal government which would be considered anti-Trump which is not only treason BUT actually a crime against god, as Trump is our imperfect vessel against the Left's commie commitment to Satan. This would solve so many problems in terms of being able to pass laws where anything short of celebrating King Donald, would be considered treason & blasphemy and those people could be jailed without trial as Satanic heretics are not entitled to a jury of their peers........ The system works........ I mean, obviously the Nazis set up a false flag for the Reichstag & or the Gleiwitz Polish incident to completely consolidate power during a moment of weakness of government. Luckily the American president, Musk and his supporters are not capable of lying for political gain or consolidating power for a fascist takeover as that would be not only be un-American but more importantly "SAD.........' We just need to let the tide water take us out to sea and assume that the richest people on Earth who were previously being charged or already convicted of multiple crimes have our best interest at heart!!!! Even if they couldn't be trusted, at least there's the AWESOME POWER of Joaquin Jefferies or Chuck Schumer!!!! Phew! I know i sleep better at night knowing that the DNC would gladly trade their wealth and privilege to fight for the basic Rights of average Americans in Weimar Republic 2.0?!?! The system works.

  11480. (This argument has to be adressed head-on, immediately!!!) 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........ 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.

  11491. ​ @isabelmelladojensen9043 this is HUGE, I tell people about how important this is in the management of diabetes, but it also has so many other benefits. It's really hard to explain it without sounding like a lunatic LOL! While doing my research it always came up and it seems so obvious but nothing has contributed more to my recovery than this except for not eating sugar. When I did the research it all came back that our bodies are designed to walk to the desert or the Savannah 12 hours a day everyday as our ancestors did. I was fine while I was working a super physical job but I got a desk job and 5 years later I got diabetes after putting on a bunch of weight. Now, try to walk after every single meal even if it's just 5'10 minutes. This gets your metabolism up while also lowering blood sugar overall + I'll do a very long walk at the end of the day which helps me sleep as well as keeps my blood sugar down for the evening so that I don't have a go up as much in the morning. Lastly, This isn't spoken about much for some reason but stress is a major contributor to your blood sugar going up or also remaining high regardless of The food you are eating. Walking is a major way to bring down your stress hormones as it's a gentle form of meditation, I personally try to either listen to music, podcasts but only for subjects that are positive like history or a comedy podcast. Podcast, whatever just not anything stressful. Totally brings me down 30% of what my post meal blood sugar high.

  11506. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who' corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, I'm starting to think a second Trump presidency might be in everyone's best interest.

  11511. Sure, sure Trump obviously sucks BUT can we at least acknowledge the fact that Israel just used pagers and phones to blow up random people in Lebanon?!? Yeah, yeah, yeah...... Hezbollah is evil and all that, despite the obvious fact that they're part of the democratically elected government of Lebanon, the fact remains that even if they are the sole purveyors of all evil in the middle East and America is NEVER, UNDER ANY circumstances guilty of paying for the slaughter of innocent women and children........... The fact remains that the Israelis had no idea who was going to be holding those pagers or who was going to be next to it when it exploded?!?!? Which means that the Israelis were comfortable with the murder of the children, which happens to be collective punishment?!.! All because Hezbollah supported Palestinians not being slaughtered by the tens of thousands?!?!? Let alone the blowback to all people in Israel, including Americans around the world, all so that Netanyahu can avoid corruption charges?!?!? This clearly implies that the Israelis are comfortable with murdering anybody, anywhere, under any circumstances, that included women and fucking children which happen to be next to the pagers when it exploded next to the democratically elected leaders in Lebanon!?!? Just to send a message that they don't care about international law, human rights law, or anything that is normal within the context of international borders. They just don't give a f*** and they will murder anyone's children under any circumstances whatsof***ingever and the DNC and Republicans are fully into it?!?!? Kamala will help pick the pager batteries out of the skulls of children to show how much she f***** cares.......... I can't believe that all of the comedians and everyone is just going along with this $hit like it's f**** normal or something?!?! Like they didn't just killed a bunch of people including women and children with f**** pagers that exploded, sorry BUT to repeat, women and children died randomly!?! So that Israel could send a message that they are willing to kill women and children in an effort to fight against The barberism of the Muslim hordes who are willing to kill indiscriminately women and children. WT absolute F !?!? It serves no purpose other than to explicitly acknowledge the fact that the people of Lebanon are explicitly responsible for not only the leadership of that country but also the terrorists & If they don't fight and die in the street against thier own government the Israelis will weaponize regular citizens electronics to blow up anyone and everyone regardless, to send a message that everyone is responsible for everything that their government does?!?!?! Do you understand what implications that f**** has?!?!?! It means that every time anyone's government does anything horrific like say blow up children with pagers, it means that everyone is fair game and that there are no more rules of law at all whatsoever. Jesus f**** Christ, even the mob had rules that there was no women or children, including families. But the Israelis just don't give a f*** + I can't help but think this is a pretext for something even goddamn worse. Looking forward to how you make this into comedy Gold Seth!?!?!

  11527. I can't help but shake the feeling that Jon Stewart got the same talk that Bernie Sanders got or AOC when they started focusing attention on the "wrong people." The one that says, "hey, listen it's okay to mess around at the edges because that doesn't f*** with billionaires money or the security establishmen's ability to suppress democracy BUT if you keep f**** around and riling up the "poor's" or even worse the lower middle classes, then a "lone wolf" could get you MLK'd?!?! I'm sure the establishment reminds them that JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King and Malcolm x (not mentioning that all leaders in every other country for the last 70 years who tried to represent their people fairly were either imprisoned, destroyed through blackmail, coups and assassinated) were all just fine when they were uselessly crying about civil rights, however, once they tied it to the working class, its relation to the military industrial complex and organized the working class that united the Right & Left sides on an understanding that they were BOTH being exploited by the same people, they were ALL assassinated within a year by "lone wolves." Convenient....... The system works P.S. I have come to the conclusion that there needs to be a massive movement similar to freeing Assange for the full and unredacted JFK assassination dossier which will I'm sure exposed the CIA & how they worked with the mafia to assassinate a president that didn't want world War 3. I think, they'll be able to show that President Johnson was complicit in this crime and it has affected every foreign policy and arguably domestic policy as a result ever since? Until the American people can be clearly told that the usa's secret police murdered their President for trying to bring Peace to the world so that the Establishment could deny things like universal Healthcare, infrastructure, education for all Americans so that they can compete in a world market and most importantly a free and open society where The security establishment can't use the threat of enemies abroad as a way to erode all civil liberties for Americans that the founders fought and died for. The system works.

  11552. PIERRE'S HOLLOW TALKING POINTS federally I think Mad Max is actually what Polllievere talks about but doesn't vote for. As for policies I don't think "stop the gatekeepers" is a policy as I'm sure he's not going to allow mixed social housing to be built next to his house or any of his wealthy donors either. Same with firing bank of Canada, sounds good but the corporations that back him won't accept anything that hurts their bottom line. He'll cut taxes, probably save the middle class about $800-$1000 in taxes but will cut carbon tax rebates so more like a $500 savings while giving corporations millions in tax breaks. Now when you cut revenue it drives up the deficit and destroying the CBC won't save billions in lost tax revenue so he'll have to go after government services and add "service fees" for other government services (exactly what Harper did and PP voted for). As for the Oil industry, he can't force multinational corporations to use Canadian oil as that amounts to nationalization and that's commie talk. But let's pretend that he did, Saudi oil is almost 5 times cheaper to produce a barrel of sweet crude than Canadian oil not to mention we don't have refining capacity so imagine how paying quadruple the price of "Canadian gas" would go over. Pretending he's going to build a pipeline to the east coast (that the multinational companies said wasn't financially viable) may sound good but won't actually happen either. The only thing he's said that appeals to me is how he's going to force the medical profession to accredit immigrants BUT that industry is incredibly powerful and is unlikely to give away their monopoly not to mention most Albertans won't want to see a Bangladeshi Dr. His platform is buzz words and slogans without numbers or anything that is measurable because he knows that people would actually crunch those numbers and tear him to shreds. It's easier to make promises to the base, reassure the wealthy that nothing will change and ride a wave of dissatisfaction with the Liberals to office. Sounds familiar, that's what Trudeau did with Harper.

  11585. Obama ran on codifying Roe versus Wade as his first act in office 2008. He was elected with a super majority but decided against making it law once in office as it was politically advantageous to have the RNC's anti-abortion stance as a credible threat to women's health. Obama & the DNC used women's reproductive Rights as a threat to force people into supporting corporate Democrats, who refused to to codify Roe for crass political gains at the expense of women's lives. The DNC purposely failed women's rights to advance their political agenda as they know that voters want Bernie Sanders BUT the DNC KNOWS that by cynically allowing Republicans to overturn Roe it will FORCE people who are furious about the anti-democratic/pro billionaire tendencies of the DNC to still vote for unpopular DNC candidates WHO OBVIOUSLY DON'T REPRESENT WORKING PEOPLE'S INTERESTS in the hope that they at least protect women's basic health needs.....this time. The DNC was right unfortunately, despite being historically unpopular for their utter refusal to do the overwhelming majority of Biden's campaign promises to the Left & or their overwhelming commitment to genocide, regular people have come out for the last 3 elections to protect themselves against the DNC enabled theocratic GOP's agenda to restrict women's reproductive healthcare despite the fact that the DNC doesn't represent the views of the overwhelming majority of the working class. Sadly, we know that the DNC has purposely placed them in a position to either support the DNC's commitment to murdering Brown Muslim children or losing their reproductive healthcare rights, which was all done on purpose.  The system works People can't articulate why they f**** hate the system but this type of s*** is everywhere.

  11630. Frum contributed to arguably the worst administration in American history, as their lies on the Iraq war contributed directly to the loss of around 10 trillion over the last 25 years & literally hundreds of thousands of lives. Had these Bush W charlatans not been allowed to use a GOP controlled SCOTUS in 2000 to literally steal an election, then competent people would have stopped the 9/11 attacks, therefore all that money wouldn't have been wasted or veterans lives or limbs lost. Then there wouldn't have been any 2008 crash but even if there had been, the American treasury would have been able to bail out not only the banks but also enough to help Americans to keep their homes. Then there wouldn't have been 20 years of wage stagnation that culminated in so much outrage towards the Establishment that the American people elected a deranged game show host to send a gigantic middle finger to the people who 've ruined their lives and their children live's for generations. Also, The bush doctrine of expanding NATO to the Russian border forcing Putin to react as the last two invading forces of Napoleon and Hitler used the exact same route. These people keep saying that putting nuclear weapons on the border where 70 years ago the Russian people lost almost 30 million people isn't a big deal is f**** ridiculous. Now as a result of Frum's & Pals ideological ideas, Americans haven't invested in 20 years of infrastructure, education for its youth or the ability to pay down debt and or invest in its future but instead made a small group of Frum's Friends in the military industrial complex, extremely more wealthy while weakening America against its adversaries at every turn, especially China. Could you imagine had America spent $10 trillion on advancing their capacity to educate and innovate over the last 20 years instead of sending our young men and women to die needlessly in a desert?!?! Frum, if not arrested, should at least be so ashamed to show his face that it would make more sense to smear his face in feces, then to have anything come out of his mouth, other than, "I am so sorry and ashamed of what I have done to America and the world." Trump clearly sucks, but what Bush's people have done is so vastly worse & are directly responsible for Trump's Presidency, that it shocks me to the core when I hear them spew anything and more importantly, the fact that they are now aligned with the DNC is extremely concerning to say the f**** least.

  11652. POILLEVERE'S RECORD OF FAILURE ON HOUSING WHEN LAST IN POWER. by Charlie Smith on November 14th, 2012 at 3:33 PM The Harper government has failed to keep its 2009 promises to the UN. The federal government will have to answer to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva for its failure to keep its promises to the international community around housing. Michael Shapcott, director of affordable housing and social innovation at the Toronto-based Wellesley Institute, told the Georgia Straight by phone that in 2009 Canada made several pledges to the Universal Periodic Review process. This was created by the UN in 2006 to hold countries accountable for their human-rights records by forcing them to answer to questions from other countries. In April 2013, Canada is scheduled to undergo scrutiny of its performance since the last review. “[Canada’s] specific commitment was we recognize more needs to be done, we promise we’ll work with the provinces and territories, and we’ll come up with a strategy,” Wellesley said. “They’ve absolutely completely failed in that regard of having a strategy.” The Wellesley Institute filed a five-page document with the Universal Periodic Review citing a litany of Canadian cutbacks to housing programs. It states that in 2009 the federal government announced $2.1 billion in new funding for affordable housing over a two-year period, plus another $5.7 billion for homeowners in middle- and upper-income brackets. By 2011, these short-term measures were terminated, and there was a 39 percent reduction in affordable-housing funding compared with the previous year. “Since most federal dollars were matched by provinces, territories, municipalities, non-profit and private housing organizations, the combined loss added up to more than $3.5 billion in one year,” the institute declares in the document. “Included in the federal cuts were: 97% cut in Affordable Housing Initiative (new affordable homes) from $452 million to $16 million; 94% cut in national low-income housing repair program from $674 to $37 million; 27% cut in on-reserve Aboriginal housing from $215 to $156 million; and, 5% cut in assisted housing from $1.7 to $1.6 billion.” In addition, the institute revealed that a federal Crown corporation, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, will cut the number of households receiving assistance under federal programs by almost 100,000, or 16 percent, between 2008 and 2016. And CMHC’s expenditures on the Affordable Housing Initiative will fall from $582 million to $0 between 2010 and 2015 CONSERVATIVES ARE AS MUCH TO BLAME AS THE LIBERALS FOR THE HOUSING CRISIS IF NOT MORE SO. BUT MEMORIES ARE SHORT AND PEOPLE ARE STUPID. The system works.

  11699. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate. I mean, after they tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder children & drag America into a middle East regional war for the fifth time!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donors that finally turned on Biden to anoint her candidacy, she will have to pick Shapiro who's absolutely perfect. He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports a complete and total genocide in Gaza, but more importantly shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of this mass slaughter of Palestinian children!!! But that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensures that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's commitment to Wall Street by making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! The system works.

  11731. The South America Columbian President's quote at the U.N. about "Palestine, being the past, present and future of South America," is correct and as I've been saying for some time, Palestinians are the canary in the fascism coal mine. Once we normalize genocide in Gaza & the climate catastrophe unfolds into a pretext for fascism to address the obvious issues that are inevitable as a result of climate catastrophe. The genocidal war machine, once completing the example of the benefits of genocides while also serving proof that it can be done, will be exported to the next inconvenient people sitting atop the resources & or land as the Establishment MUST consume developing nations raw resources without adding anything to their economic development as the lifeblood of neoliberalism is using those raw resources for added value profit BUT more importantly, denying those nations people the ability to not only profit from value added products rather than resource extraction that only enriches the elite if that country BUT more importantly excludes the type of Professional managerial class (PMC). That type of economic development would increase this class of people who would be the ones that could not only help further develop the economy & help train other generations of people who could further develop the nation's economy and resources. Worst of all, it is this intellectual class issue of the PMC that would be able to organize and fight back against the absolute obvious, exploitation of their Nation. Most importantly, the West has learned that they have to always exclude the PMC of any developing nations from any process, as they understand the mechanisms of exploitation which makes them extremely dangerous as they can articulate it to the masses. Eventually, genocide WILL be exported everywhere, until it MUST be brought home as citizens will eventually understand that they will receive NOTHING from the constant murder of civilian communities and then even racism won't be enough

  11738. 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).

  11787. okay, just so I'm clear. You're feeling is that despite the over a 150 years that Canada has traded back and forth between the Liberals and the conservatives government commitments to Corporations (NAFTA, GATT, FIPA & TPP had Hilary won & USMCA) that we will be able to indefinitely push back a conservative's government agenda despite a massively pro conservative billionaire owned Canadian media, massive American pro conservative corporate media, massive pro provincial corporate media, as well as a trade war that's specifically targets the liberals and NDP's current government??? All by managing to avoid PP, by a couple digits in an election where the liberals at best would possibly be another minority government (after a decade in power which no government has ever done) and this would be the long-term strategic goal to keep PP indefinitely out of government while Trump and every corporate interest in the world rains down their worst possible punishment for a liberal/NDP government fighting for Canadians rights and has Carney as our champion who was last in government under Harper and prioritized as always corporations instead of working class Canadians?!?! Sorry, I swear to God I'm not trying to be a dick but I have to say that having studied Canadian politics for almost 30 years I have considerably less faith in our first past the post system and the world's most concentrated corporate media that has explicitly ensured that the corporations and Israel are always under every single circumstances prioritized over the Canadian people let alone doing anything even approaching morality. However, if I've missed something I would love to hear it because I am not only super depressed, sad about the inevitability of what's coming but also filled with dread as the hammer comes down. For me, what we need to accept is that things are going to get a lot f**** worse and if we don't start preparing for that it's going to not only make things impossible to address but worse, the possibility of Alberta and Ontario's right-wing agenda actually turn us into the 51st state because Trump purposely bankrupted our government. Please the love of God tell me you have a better solution?!?!?!?

  11800. 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 expexct swiftly and without remorse the same results, if not considerably worse, given the fact that they are burning hospital ridden children alive. 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 incorrect and allowing their ignorance to continue turns them into victims of a war they never signed up for. The system works and it won't stop working until everyone's dead and they own everything. Unfortunately, that's just how it is and it's time we start to address it as such. 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). Therefore, it has casualties, collateral damage and massive losses to the side that is losing which is the Left to be clear. 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 CIA aren't as respectful as the Mafia and will 110% involve friends, family, children, lying & fabricating evidence as they have no limits on ANYTHING WHATSOEVER AND ANYONE STARTING TO CHALLENGE THEM MUST BE TOLD WHAT THEY ACTUALLY FACE. The system works.

  11801. Hard to imagine the Woke crowd volunteering for the "front," In the UK, especially under Starmer! LOL With that said, it's pretty clear that Trump & his troll purposely humiliated zelensky because Ukraine doesn't want to give away half their nation's resources for literally nothing except for Trump's "word." LOL. Also, $500 billion from the states, where did you get that number George?!?! Sure. America probably gave him a couple hundred billion dollars in weapons that they all made a massive amount of kickbacks from. But Ukraine sacrificed hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight America's proxy war. And just because there's a new president doesn't mean America still isn't responsible. Pretending otherwise isn't just stupid. It's f**** dangerous because it allows every new president to pretend that all these weaker nations forced into these situations have any kind of say in the matter, which is insane obviously. Seriously, I get that Biden was the one who lied to Ukraine to fight America's/UK's proxy wars against Russia and if Zelensky was stupid enough to believe that, it's obviously his fault. HOWEVER GEORGE!?! Now that he's learned the hard way that America's "word" is meaningless, why would Zelensky sign away everything for absolutely nothing other than total capitulation to Putin, on literally everything, while Trump is in talks with Putin for aluminum & oil and other resources to undermine the trade deal that Trump literally signed himself with Canada to screw their closest allies America has ever had who helped fight in its Wars, killing hundreds if not thousands of Canadian soldiers, billions of Canadian dollars and everything that Canada does for the USA!?!? All so that Trump can screw anyone stupid enough to believe anything from America, while Trump lines his pockets?!?! Zelinski is totally f*** obviously & I also don't want to die in World War 3. But at the risk of sounding sympathetic to zielinski, I have to admit if I'm being told that I have to give away half of all my stuff & all I'm getting for it is the promise to probably lose the other half, I'd be less receptive to being screwed on international TV as well. I'd rather die on my feet, than capitulate to a petty piece of shit like Trump? I mean , if you're getting f*** no matter what you do, then I'm not sure what's the point of sucking Trump's ass on international television?!? Lastly, I hate Piers Morgan, but I have to admit the more I hear some of this weird slanted s*** George, I got to start wondering why you're such a fan of Putin & NEVER criticize him. It doesn't have to be a deranged propaganda fill tirade like most of Western media, but the fact that it's absolute crickets is concerning?!? Once again, I hate all of these people, cuz they're all disingenuous pieces of s*** risking all of our lives for nothing except a few dollars more, but the sad reality is they're the hand we've been dealt and I don't understand why you think it's wise to give everything to Putin, everything to Trump, for absolutely nothing other than the promise to do it again and worse?!? My only hope is that the complete and total destruction of Ukraine as a result of trusting America and Britain to fight their dirty proxy wars is a profound lesson to every other single nation in the world that the two most exploitative countries on Earth are not to be trusted under ANY circumstances EVER, even if you're f**** WHITE!?!?! It just doesn't matter, they will f*** you the moment it's slightly convenient & they'll demand you to wipe up the j*zz dripping down your leg for the world to see while they do it with not just a smile, nope, you're going to have to say "thank you," repeatedly. The system works. The system works

  11818. THE CASE FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY: 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 in both 2016 & 2020. They would rather Trump than real progress because ultimately the goal is to reward the donor class & consolidate power into the elites, not help the working class. With that as a guide (let's stop pretending that the DNC hasn't been failing on purpose for the last 40ish years), the logical conclusion to our future is eventual climate collapse & or WW3, which will be the pretext for actual fascism (covid really felt like a soft launch). When that happens and we don't have a movement, (Panther Party or Greens but my concern with the greens is that they will sacrifice themselves on the altar of electoralism that bares no fruit & won't be strident when required) 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 and systematically finds all of their petty crimes to either discredit them & or more likely incarceration/assassination). 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, purposely making student debt relief fail in a corporate SCOTUS, kids still in cages, refugees dying at the border as well as continuing Trump's "wall', failure on climate, failure on a public healthcare option, the most approvals of oil & gas permits, support to break the backs of unions that actually affect the American economy (despite what Krystal ball says, the fact that they broke the rail workers strike with legislation tells you what the DNC will really do when push comes to shove) continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia and American complicity for the genocide in Gaza and on and on and on, etc........... However, if Trump is re-elected everyone will remember that children are still dying in detention, health insurance is out of control, 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. Sadly, the same with Gaza. Even Trump understands that genocide draws too large of a spotlight to grift in the darkness). Also and more importantly, let's say we drag Biden across the line and now he doesn't have to face re-election, do people 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 branches 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 sweep after 4 more years of Neoliberal policies under Biden. The reality is that we can boil the climate/fascist 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...... Clearly the system is not "working" for us. It's set up for the elites on both sides, so let's stop supporting it! Vote for any 3rd party and throw some sand in the Vaseline. Sure, sure it's going to hurt......... BUT It's going to hurt either way, at least it hurts them as well!!! The system works. Let's stop supporting it, vote 3rd party.

  11837. Let's always remember people like Medhi were more than comfortable to ingratiate himself with corporate media by throwing people who were actually brave enough to stand up against the Israeli propaganda way under the bus, people like Jeremy Corbyn. That's why he still supports the Democratic party despite its overwhelming support of genocide, or his overwhelming support of the Labour party in Britain who also supports the genocide in Gaza. Medhi supports both of those governments whole heartedly. He does that because he wants to be on the side of money and influence in the establishment. He's a sellout and is exactly as Norm Finkelstein describes him......... MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concernedyourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............ Clearly, Medhi is a great attack dog and I'm glad that he is setting his sights on the people who are perpetrating these atrocities, however, The reality is that anyone who can so casually blow in the direction of the corporate wind, can't genuinely be trusted and is ultimately dangerous as they can never, ever, under any circumstances to be trusted not to do it again once defending the truth becomes inconvenient or expensive.  Until I see Medhi actually sacrifice anything to help anyone other than himself, I will never trust him again.

  11869. Lol, yeah good luck with using Trump fact checks to somehow save this from the obvious disaster that it was. Dementia Joe, who he will obviously now be called because genocide Joe doesn't make sense, as he's clearly not in charge & says everything about the Democrat party. The white house is obviously run by a bunch of goddamn donors and the people who control Washington and not that dodering old man who can't goddamn string two f**** sentences together. Clearly, Biden will not be running for president as he should be sent to an old-timers home as anyone with any goddamn eyes or ears can understand. The real question, is the obvious fact that they would rather Trump win then to do anything for the American people because any sort of primary would have brought in a Bernie Sanders which the DNC despises because they wouldn't agree with genocide or billionaires paying their fair share of taxes and universal healthcare for Americans like any other normal first world country. Obviously, we're all going to die as a result of the dnc's complete and total capitulation to the donor class, the Israelis and The military industrial complex. I can't describe how angry I am, wait. I think I just did.......... How the f*** can they justify this completely horrific s**show that's coming down the pipe?!?! You people suck, the mainstream media sucks and worst of all Joe Biden sucks so bad that he makes Trump look reasonable. F** you & the billionaires who run America. I guess we understand now why Biden is Netanyahu 's B****.

Israel attacking Iran risks an Iranian retaliation that would set the middle East oilfields on fire, this would drive up the oil $ world energy (think of how the Russian/Ukraine war immediately increased inflation) that would ripple through the world economy and MASSIVELY INCREASE INFLATION FOR EVERYONE!!! Regardless as to how you feel about either Israel, Palestinians or Iranians for that matter, unless you are a billionaire oil field owner in either America, Russia, Mexico, Venezuela or the African dictators that would benefit from a major spike in oil prices, you will experience the worst inflation EVER in the history of humanity as it will not just affect the middle East but the supply chain all through EU/Asia/S. America that is the lifeblood of cheap labor that runs on cheap energy pumped out of the middle East?!? Why would we want to destroy your standard of living and potentially our livelihoods so that Israel can set the region on fire, ALL so that Netanyahu can avoid corruption charges as he can't face justice while he wages war on his neighbors?!?!? Who gives a shit about anyone in the middle East?!?!? As Americans, WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT EITHER PARTY'$ COMPLETE AND TOTAL COMMITMENT TO DESTROYING OUR ECONOMY ALL IN THE SERVICE OF A SMALL COUNTRY HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD, AS HURRICANE VICTIMS LOSE THEIR HOMES? OBVIOUSLY, AMERICANS ARE FINE WITH ALL OF THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MURDERED BROWN KIDS......  HOWEVER, THE REALITY IS THAT IT'S GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE'S LIFE EVERYWHERE MISERABLE JUST TO SUPPORT THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE SO THAT BILLIONAIRES ACROSS THE WORLD CAN GET RICH ON THE OIL SPIKE, MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX & REAL ESTATE FROM DEAD PALESTINIANS?!?! W.T.F!?!? SERIOUSLY....... I'M TERRIFIED OF HOW STUPID AND GREEDY THESE PEOPLE ARE.

The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joygrey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle say hi to AOC. I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now....

Lastly, I'll add that had people like him and James O'Brien along with all the other people who pretend to be progressive Liberals actually stood up for the fact that there was no evidence against Corbyn and had Jeremy been allowed to stand for this last election instead of Starmer, there could in fact have been a politician who stood up for Palestinians and also LED the charge for making britons utilities public again with a bold plan for the future that wasn't designed purposely to fail so that it would all fall back in the hands of the conservatives again, just like Starmer and his elk prefer (If you don't believe me, just look up how his team purposely sabotaged Corbyn in favor of PM Johnson. Could you imagine had Labour actually helped Corbyn win instead of purposely working against him?!? Could you imagine all the peoples who lives could have been saved? Or how much less damage the conservatives could have done to Briton or maybe no Liz!? Nope, unfortunately people like James O'Brien and Medhi put their own careers first and threw veryone else lives under the bus.) as they were all profit from the same corruption ?!?!?!?

  11938. "Analysts say it puts a stain on the Kennedy's political Dynasty." WTF?!?! Let's be clear, I don't like Kennedy. I think he's like the rest of them, a political grifter holding his finger up to see which way the wind blows, especially the fact that he supports the Israeli slaughter of tens of thousands of women and children. However, the fact is he represented a lot of people's views and more importantly, a third party platform, which I think is the most important thing that could potentially save America as both parties want to make sure that every election is an existential choice between the evil of the other side and they couldn't use this to ensure the fact that Americans never, ever, under any circumstances what's so f**** ever have a choice other than the duopoly. Sadly, rfk Jr hasn't lived up to anything he's said in the first place and is clearly now just trying to s*** on the Democrats on the way out, which is understandable considering how completely and dishonorably they have acted in every possible way. The DNC continues to not do anything Democratic despite their namesake. Let's be honest, they f*** Bernie for two election primaries in a row and didn't even bother whatsoever this time as they knew Biden was not capable of running an election & Bernie is now also a millionaire which makes him coincidentally, a lot more agreeable. Which is exactly why the DNC had a June debate with Trump. They knew that old man Biden wouldn't listen as he's a meglomaniac and the only way they could get him to step down was to absolutely humiliate him on the world stage by not giving him his proper meds the night of, or didn't anyone else notice the fact that it was the first time he was laid out to dry?!?! Truth is been 12 years since the DNC establishment after Obama has had to listen to anyone (and if you consider Obama's terms it's actually more like 20 years of Neoliberal policies, which is exactly the way they like it) Let's be clear, Kennedy called out Joe Biden at the very beginning and said he wasn't fit to run for office. Again, RFK was mocked openly as Joe was obviously in perfect condition as confirmed by his family and staff, everyone in the DNC Establishment knew he was fine as confirmed by the highest ranking members of the DNC, everyone in the corporate media knew he was clearly fit to run for a second term in his late '80s and obviously anyone suggesting otherwise was a conservative troll, who "mocked a stutter" that wasn't present for the last 50 years. Hence, that was the reason to ostracize RFK Jr rather than listen to his concerns about the environment, unlawful restrictions on Americans movements during covid, the fact that those restrictions destroyed small businesses across the country to the benefit once again of the corporations that coincidentally, had the most to gain from these policies and donated extremely generously to the DNC. Also, the fact that Ukraine's war against Russia is completely unwinnable, as Russia is a nuclear power, not to mention the fact that losing would be an existential threat to Putin directly and anyone related to him or in his inner circle. This obviously means that they understand that their existence in every conceivable way possible is tied to this war. Let's assume. Corporate media is correct and Putin is the new Hitler, what do you think Hitler would have done with all of those nuclear bombs once forced into his bunker at the very end of his life?!?!?! Then there is the uncomfortable fact that it's definitely coming close to a million dead Young people from both sides for no f**** reason whatsoever, except for using them as cruel Pawns against Russia (The country who saved us from the Nazis. Despite what American movies tell us, it was 100% the fact that almost 30 million Russians fought and died against the Nazis and their total and complete drive towards the heart of Germany is what made most Nazis lay down their weapons and accept allied rule because they were understandably terrified of what the Russians were going to do because of all of their horrific crimes against the Russian people. Obviously, Americans are deeply, DEEPLY ignorant of this history along with so, so, so, so so so so so much more of world history, let alone their own history. That it doesn't even register how f*** up their choice to want to put nuclear weapons on Russia's border and a standing Army in Ukraine under NATO control on the Russian border, after the Americans promised for decades to not do anything like that. Then, precisely as Americans do, they did exactly what they promised not to and orchestrated a coup in Ukraine in 2014 (before you say anything about this please, for the love of God just do even the most basic research. Everyone knows that the Americans were the ones who helped overthrow the pro-russian government of Ukraine. It's why the Russians took over Crimea and why Obama didn't do anything about it. Once again the spectacular ignorance of the new American people is how this all happened. But once again I digress........ My guess is that Kennedy figures that Trump is the least likely leader to actually start world War 3 because the polls tell him that's what he should do. I think Kennedy figures that Trump doesn't actually give a s*** about what anyone thinks, which is actually probably true, however, I also think that Trump would nuke every country in Europe and sleep like a baby if he thought it would make him president for life. Damn it. I'm digressing again LOL!!! Sadly, the choice is between a megalomaniac, whose sole purpose in life is to climb the ladder, throw anyone under the bus that gets in their way, let people suffer and die just so that they can get a little further ahead and us basically a soulless husk whose only purpose is MORE.......... Sadly, our only other choice is Trump. The system works.

  11947. Luckily, the DNC has managed for the third presidential electoral cycle to avoid the pesky input of the electorate. I mean, after they tried to pick Bernie Sanders two cycles in a row, it's pretty f**** obvious that they can't be trusted to pick a candidate that will help Netanyahu murder children & drag America into a middle East regional war for the fifth time!! Even better, because Kamala is completely beholden to the donors that finally turned on Biden to anoint her candidacy, she will have to pick Shapiro who's absolutely perfect. He supports wholeheartedly the destruction of public schools in favor of private education for the wealthy, is more than willing to ignore sexual abuse for political expediency, fully supports a complete and total genocide in Gaza, but more importantly shutting down first amendment rights of anyone not wholly supportive of this mass slaughter of Palestinian children!!! But that's not all!!! Shapiro's got one hell of an Obama impersonation, this will really help because he also supports even more tax breaks for major corporations! Also, let's remember, Obama's major contribution to this nation was to ensure that Obamacare didn't have a public option so that the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry profited off of people's misery. Still, Shapiro can continue Obama's commitment to Wall Street by making sure that the next time they tank the economy through sheer greed, Shapiro will make sure the American taxpayer bails them out while giving eviction notices to millions of Americans, especially black ones!!!! The system works.

  11950.  @mikeb2586  POILLEVERE'S RECORD OF FAILURE ON HOUSING WHEN LAST IN POWER. by Charlie Smith on November 14th, 2012 at 3:33 PM The Harper government has failed to keep its 2009 promises to the UN. The federal government will have to answer to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva for its failure to keep its promises to the international community around housing. Michael Shapcott, director of affordable housing and social innovation at the Toronto-based Wellesley Institute, told the Georgia Straight by phone that in 2009 Canada made several pledges to the Universal Periodic Review process. This was created by the UN in 2006 to hold countries accountable for their human-rights records by forcing them to answer to questions from other countries. In April 2013, Canada is scheduled to undergo scrutiny of its performance since the last review. “[Canada’s] specific commitment was we recognize more needs to be done, we promise we’ll work with the provinces and territories, and we’ll come up with a strategy,” Wellesley said. “They’ve absolutely completely failed in that regard of having a strategy.” The Wellesley Institute filed a five-page document with the Universal Periodic Review citing a litany of Canadian cutbacks to housing programs. It states that in 2009 the federal government announced $2.1 billion in new funding for affordable housing over a two-year period, plus another $5.7 billion for homeowners in middle- and upper-income brackets. By 2011, these short-term measures were terminated, and there was a 39 percent reduction in affordable-housing funding compared with the previous year. “Since most federal dollars were matched by provinces, territories, municipalities, non-profit and private housing organizations, the combined loss added up to more than $3.5 billion in one year,” the institute declares in the document. “Included in the federal cuts were: 97% cut in Affordable Housing Initiative (new affordable homes) from $452 million to $16 million; 94% cut in national low-income housing repair program from $674 to $37 million; 27% cut in on-reserve Aboriginal housing from $215 to $156 million; and, 5% cut in assisted housing from $1.7 to $1.6 billion.” In addition, the institute revealed that a federal Crown corporation, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, will cut the number of households receiving assistance under federal programs by almost 100,000, or 16 percent, between 2008 and 2016. And CMHC’s expenditures on the Affordable Housing Initiative will fall from $582 million to $0 between 2010 and 2015 CONSERVATIVES ARE AS MUCH TO BLAME AS THE LIBERALS FOR THE HOUSING CRISIS IF NOT MORE SO. BUT MEMORIES ARE SHORT AND PEOPLE ARE STUPID. The system works.

  11976. 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, 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 (Panther Party is for lack of a better term that has historical context for a parallel political government). The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, trade agreements that are worker centric, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources of the PP 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 PP (Panther Party)for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors (by direct means or omission) we will use our resources to make their 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, the inevitable climate wars are coming. Unless we start organizing now and use our time, $ and souls in pursuit of an organization that is going to support us when the System collapses we will find ourselves without the ability to survive to fight back. The system works, let's stop supporting it. Panther Party

  12000. Let's all remember that CTV is owned by billionaires and that they hate the liberal/NDP coalition government and have supported the conservatives and their tax breaks for billionaires in almost every single election. I'm no fan of the Liberals, but let's be honest, the conservatives are going to give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy (mainstream media), service cuts to everyone else, slightly less mass immigration (look up the numbers, the Cons are almost exactly the same on immigration) and of course petty cruelty to anyone who needs help like veterans, the disabled or anyone else who can't help the conservatives get more power and money. If you don't believe me, look up their record or I can send it to you if you want. I understand hating Trudeau, he's a bumbling imbecile but sadly Pierre is something much more dangerous. Pierre is actually very smart and he knows how to manipulate people into voting against their own interests. Don't get me wrong, I get that people are going to do that anyways because they are grossly ignorant of the facts of Pierre's voting record in the 9 years of the Harper government & it's relentless support of corporations and the ultra wealthy. But eventually those choices will come home to roost and people will remember why they kicked out Harper and almost 10 years of debt-ridden government broken promises. Sadly, it'll be after Pierre sells off a bunch of important Canadian infrastructure/land just like Harper did on his last year in government to the highest bidder in order to pretend that he balanced the budget (could you imagine selling your house and then having to rent it from the new owners while telling your family that the balance sheet looks good as your money goes to the landlord every month?!?!).  The conservatives ran out the back door with bags of money (Cons foreign minister Baird literally left government & worked for a Chinese billionaire and a f##$ing Gold mine. It's f**** cartoonish?!?!). Clearly, Pierre is one of the greatest snake oil salesman of our time, even more depressing is that the Canadian people will have to pick up the tab as always on the back of working Canadians. P.s. had Trudeau actually ended first-past-the-post system (FPTP) which he campaigned on and then didn't bring in proportional representation because it allowed Liberals to rule unopposed is why we are going to have a majority conservative government (last time it was 34% of the electorate that voted for conservatives but won a majority )even though the overwhelming majority of Canadians actually don't support that. I understand how much we all f**** hate Trudeau, he is a selfish, entitled horrible piece of s*** that has doomed Canada for the next generation because of his selfishness to conservative corporate rule. F*** Trudeau I hope he gets rectal cancer. The system works.

  12064. F$#@ you Bernie and your "vote blue no matter who" bs, you already f*** us out of the alternative democracy that everyone donated to and supported you with their last nickels. As soon as you sold out to Biden for nothing, not a single f'ing concession, nothing. Don't get me wrong, I know the power's that be said if you actually exercise your power they would kill you, your family or something worse. At that point you could have said that you were retiring from politics because that you could not be effective and that you were threatened (you would at least have been honest and people would have understood that you couldn't sacrifice your family for the greater good ) BUT you didn't do that, you told us to vote for Biden knowing full well he was lying about all the things he was telling progressive voters while on the campaign trail and now you're doing the same. Still, that was the trade-off when you challenged power in the first place and inspired people with what they thought was the truth. You sacrificed the left and all of its momentum for the foreseeable future for you and your family's safety. You got your million dollar book deal, you're still relatively popular, your kids will be fine unlike the Palestinian babies dying of starvation and 2000 lbs American bombs. However, I'm quite sick of multi-millionaire democrats telling us that we have to support genocide Joe, so that we can save ourselves at the sacrifice of the Palestinians and everything else that matters is complete and total utter f**** b******. I reiterate, f** you. What the upper class wants is that we save them from Trump and his dirty working class hordes of people who know that the DNC sold them out to China and anyone else for pennies. Had you come out recently and said that you will not support Biden unless he demands that Israel stops the genocide NOW or the Biden administration will 100% cut them off ALL aid going forward. Also, that all weapons aid stops NOW f**** regardless of whether there's a ceasefire or not and that it will not return until an honest two-state solution is put forward by Israel. Anything short of that is tacit support for goddamn ethnic cleansing and the fact that you can sleep at night in your million dollar home while the people of Gaza and their children are murdered and starved to death by the person you are telling us is, "a good man" is rigodamndiculous. It's really hard to believe you have the f**** nerve to defend genocide Joe and the DNC after everything we've seen. I don't know what they have on you Bernie, but you sold your soul and the hope of an entire generation who came out for you. You will be remembered for that, your kids will live with it, we will all live with your complicity in genocide.* Except all the Palestinians who die as a result of your cowardess . Trump will win and you will be complicit because you supported the neoliberal policies of Biden that got Trump elected. You did this for nothing and without getting a goddamn thing in return for all the heart, effort, sacrifice of the people who supported you with money and time that they did not have to give. You lied to them and worst of all you gave them hope. Like I said, f*** you. The system works.

  12084. Trump's extortion of Ukrainian minerals & exploitation of Ukraine's weak position is an important reminder to the world what happens if you're stupid enough to believe America or Britain on ANYTHING but especially concerning wars & or trade. Just ask literally ANY country ALL the way back to the betrayal of the Russians after WW2, as the Russians beat the Nazis at the cost of almost 30 million Russians and the OAS (precursor to the CIA under Dulles, who led the mission to betray the alliance with Stalin) & colluded with the Nazis establishment to hide war criminals and scientists to protect American corporate interests against the USSR & or other Democratically elected governments that weren't willing to exploit their people or give away to the US Corps the resources of their country. America, after breaking the world for the last 70 years of course, now wants to wash its hands of the blowback, driving everyone towards China or South America. However, that was always going to happen inevitably because World Wide US hegemony was never sustainable long term. This allows all regional powers to do away with the pretence of national sovereignty. Interestingly, Orwell's 1984 predicted something similar, "previous boundaries of states and countries have been destroyed. Instead, three massive states (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) seem to compete in a constantly changing set of battles that are, in reality, a stalemate." I wonder if George Orwell knew that 1984 could end up being a "How to Book" for Fascism?!? More concerning is that when the USA loses sole super power status, rather than accept second place, THEY WILL instead hold the entire world hostage with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the USA will end up electing some religious fanatic (Vance?) who will eventually sacrifice everyone to "their" Christian God of mercy....... The system works. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger The system works.

  12098. VP Harris is going to continue to support the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children. The DNC is a vote to offshore jobs with "free trade", endless wars and genocide. HOWEVER, the parents of those murdered children can take solace in the fact that our first black woman President PAID to have those kids executed! Or? Stop supporting the duopoly that has sold out the American working class to make the ultra rich, slightly richer. Vote for ANY 3rd party, just to let the DNC know that you don't support tax breaks for billionaires or the slaughter of innocent children, it's the only way they will stop doing both. Sadly, the American people tried to elect Bernie Sanders, TWICE. Now, for a third time the elites have not allowed the American people to choose their leader but instead imposed someone who supports unnecessary corporate inflation, the Military Industry Complex rather than helping Americans and crucially, the ongoing genocide in Gaza (every bomb dropped on a child, is literally a library full of books, that are missing in America.) Vote 3rd party if you don't want to be complicit in the execution of those children or the further erosion of democracy? Sadly, if Trump wins he'll do the same thing & in similar numbers as both parties support Netanyahu's genocidal campaign BUT because Trump is hated, people will actually scrutinize everything that he does worldwide to fight back. However, IF Kamala is elected they can go back to brunch because those children will be rip to shreds by the first black woman president in America........ Ugh.

  12109. 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.

  12111. Let's always remember people like Medhi were more than comfortable to ingratiate himself with corporate media by throwing people who were actually brave enough to stand up against the Israeli propaganda way under the bus, people like Jeremy Corbyn. That's why he still supports the Democratic party despite its overwhelming support of genocide, or his overwhelming support of the Labour party in Britain who also supports the genocide in Gaza. Medhi supports both of those governments whole heartedly. He does that because he wants to be on the side of money and influence in the establishment. He's a sellout and is exactly as Norm Finkelstein describes him......... MEDHI the OPPORTUNIST!!! LOL! I just watched an amazing video from Norm Finkelstein who called Medhi  "a sack of s***" for smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite with no evidence just to ingratiate himself with the corporate media establishment. I originally was a fan of Medhi at first but eventually I suspected he was just a Liberal shill in Lefy clothing. He soft pedals the "vote blue no matter who" narrative that enables the Republicans to get away with war crimes BUT more importantly, giving the Democrats cover to be complicit in those same war crimes. Still, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt ........however, if you look at his interview with Julian Assange's brother (The 1st interview, not the second one once he realized that he was going to be to the Right of WSJ, New York Times, Haaretz, and the liberal media establishment) he was dismissive, brought up CIA talking points and totally ignored evidence of the illegal activity towards Assange as well as Assange's lawyers, family + other legal Representatives) to push the security apparatus' agenda. He is only on the "right side" of these issues when it affects him personally or the establishment gives him permission, otherwise, he's perfectly fine with carrying the Establishment 's propaganda water. I hope he has changed BUT he's got a lot to make up for and has still never apologized to Corbyn or Assange for his obvious journalistic malpractice and until he does, I will assume he's a "Justice warrior of convenience" Medhi continues to profit from being able to play both sides of the establishment for clout and profit. If you want to concernedyourself with the legitimacy of that argument. Consider the fact of the people he smeared, Assange spent a decade in prison under the harshest possible conditions OR Corbyn who was stripped of his leadership role and thrown out of the Labour Party he had supported for 40 years with no provable reason?!?!  Medhi on the other hand has now established a multi-million dollar company after enjoying access to corporate media for acclaim and profit while both Corbyn and Assange suffered for telling the truth............ Clearly, Medhi is a great attack dog and I'm glad that he is setting his sights on the people who are perpetrating these atrocities, however, The reality is that anyone who can so casually blow in the direction of the corporate wind, can't genuinely be trusted and is ultimately dangerous as they can never, ever, under any circumstances to be trusted not to do it again once defending the truth becomes inconvenient or expensive.  Until I see Medhi actually sacrifice anything to help anyone other than himself, I will never trust him again.

  12122. LOL?!?!?!? Obama's last gigantic middle finger to Biden is spectacular. He might as well have chanted, "Let's go, Brandon!" Thank you Joe, for letting the Donors force you out of the race because you are so decrepit, senile, uninspiring that your 50 years of neoliberal failures like protecting credit card companies over consumers, jailing the most black and brown people of any country ever at any time in the entire history of the world, overseeing a genocide in Gaza that saw the wholesale slaughter of at least 20,000 children in Gaza is truly inspiring. Also, let's not forget his many failures on campaign promises, where he purposely planned that scotus would reject his debt relief for students so he could force young people back to the polls for a third time, his weak capitulation to the parliamentarian on a $15 an hour minimum wage, the fist bump for the Saudi Prince who butchered an American journalist, Biden promised not to drill anymore on federal land and then issued the most permits of any president ever, also let American/Palestinian journalist Shireen abu akleh be obviously assassinated by the IDF with zero consequences, let alone the literal murder by Israel of hundreds of nurses, doctors, journalists and aid workers (EVEN THE WHITE ONES?!?!). Obama took the knife out of Joementia just long enough to remind Biden that he'll never be loved like Obama and that the only reason he won the 2020 election was that Obama and the establishment hated Bernie Sanders even more than they had no respect for genocide Joe Like Obama said, "Let's go Brandon!!!!!" The system works

  12134. VOTE 3RD PARTY!!!! The reality is that the duopoly is going to win regardless BUT if a massive voter turnout for 3rd parties occurs it could possibly get 5% for official federal government support and more importantly start to break the back of corporate domination of both parties. Besides, 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). 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. Dr Cornell West for President (or any 3rd party, just so long as you're not supporting the duopoly). By

  12222. WHO FUCKING CARES IF BIDEN PRETENDS TO SUPPORT A WORKING CLASS AGENDA IF HE WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!!! Oh no David, not you too!?!?!? Here's my response to other Corporatists who now support the DNC. UGH....FUGH!?!?!? I've been defending Crystal/Kyle against the Jimmy dore attacks that they're a "vote blue no matter who corporate Democrat BUT no longer. The sheer audacity to say that voting for Dr West hurts the left instead of voting for Corporate Joe is not just insulting but pretty much destroys their credibility going forward. If you want an actual Left podcast that not only critically discusses current issues but also critically looks at the Left, listen to the Bad Faith podcast with Brihana Joy grey. I'm so disappointed in crystal/Kyle, say hi to AOC, I'm sure you'll be invited to the establishment parties now.... However, in response to both their assertions that Dr. West will cost the DNC the election, 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).

The system works P.S. Marianne has even less of a chance than Dr. West, Bernie knows that better than anyone and so should you Kyle.

  12252. At least the Reform party is honest about racism. Brexit made it pretty clear people would rather lose money and their standard of living rather than allow polish people to clean their toilets & or refugees from countries that Britain helped destroy in the first place, to escape the tragedies that American/UK wars caused in the middle East, all while Starmer wrings his hands, in order to avoid the Israeli lobby's ire, so that Starmer could assume leadership by virtue of helping them smear Corbyn without any evidence WHATSOEVER of being an anti Semite?!? Could you imagine if the security establishment, along with the media & EVEN the Labour party itself, wasn't allowed to smear Corbyn without ANY EVIDENCE! Corbyn would have been an actual Leader who'd have prioritized UK workers over the ultra wealthy, rebuilding UK infrastructure as well as utilities from the calamity of Thatcher's privatization & the decency not to support Israel's genocidal slaughter campaign and on and on and on.......... NOPE! Sorry, the establishment forced the human embodiment of a shart, come to life, to ineffectually "lead" the UK to a historic loss to Nigel Farage's Reform?!? Why?!? Hmmmmm, I'd say it's pretty obvious now. It's the same reason that the Democrat party in the USA decided that they would rather Trump than Bernie Sanders!!! The donors of both parties benefit from a loss to conservatives who will cut taxes for ALL billionaires, deregulate dirty industries, reward billionaires for their corruption and ensure that the working class continues to pay for the elites in both parties, to carry out an illegal and immoral Wars against poor Muslim and brown people all over the world. What people don't understand is that they are only the first canaries in the coal mine, once the global Elite believe that we can witness tens of thousands of children being murdered in a genocide that's televised. They will eventually export it to the next place until one day, it will 110% come to a place you do care about?!?!! The system works.
