If Glenn Greenwald and Max Blumenthal are "left," if Nadine Strossen is "left," if Yanis Varoufakis is "left," then yes. (But that is a BIG qualification these days, innit?) Political branding in the US is bizarre.

Great question. 😢

@republitarian484 Nope. That's the story you were told. Nearly 80% of all casualties suffered by the Axis fighting forces were inflicted by the Red Army.

They do???

@utah_koidragon7117 No. But when they do, it is an act of civil disobedience and law enforcement should follow the law in requiring them to disperse or be subject to arrest. I'm assuming firing live rounds is not appropriate, for example.

I was impressed, yes --- and I don't agree entirely with their position. That's not the point. Law enforcement is supposed to order a demonstration that blocks roads to disperse, and then give the demonstrators a reasonable chance to disperse, especially if they show some movement in complying with the order. You have a problem with that?

@republitarian484 We didn't, the Red Army did. We provided them with Operation Paperclip.

@bulldawg202 There is VERY little "left" in the US. We label billionaire oligarchs "left," for goodness' sake. (Oh, and ours are "elites." Russia's are oligarchs. ) But there are many more than four, even here, and Yanis isn't American.

@danielsheill6752 Where did I contradict that? Please point it out. The right of LE to order demonstrators to disperse is precisely what I implied. Which was what happened. And those who deliberately refuse to obey are subject to arrest.

@Semper_Iratus No it isn't. (Is your post "violence?" LOL)

@utah_koidragon7117 No kidding.

@danielsheill6752 Agree about the DNC protests, by the way. Of course people should have a right to make their views known where these politicians can see them and hear them.

@danielsheill6752 And about your TSA point: TSA would be wrong, agreed. Flights at O'Hare are often late.

@republitarian484 Oh okay! Lol, duh on my part.

@robertortiz-wilson1588 Of course. It all makes complete sense. And Arkhipov didn't save the world. I'm sure Joe will! Or Elon?

@robertortiz-wilson1588 At least you have better talking points than most. Don't tell me, let me guess: August 6 and August 9 were both essential.

@youcantpredictthat 💯 perfect, exactly that

@bulldawg202 Exactly why is my reply to this gone?

@bulldawg202 It seems to be back. I thought algorithms were faster than that. 😂😂😂

@bulldawg202 I agree too! 💯

@Youbetcha769 That sums it up. They are just elitists who did not work for what they have.
