You think I give a shit about algorithims or points or popularity? It isn't about me. I'm not the co leader of a national party.

It's about how the CPUSA looks from the outside from someone that want change. You aren't going to get that by residual fallout from failed campaigns alone. I would like the CPUSA be in a coalition with the Greens and PSL and have some of that common bite, but all I'm seeing is a safe for Empire afraid of their own shadow husk. Have some confidence in what you're selling FFS. It comes across as "We have to be pragmatic sweetie". Maybe I'm expecting a bit more a little more spice.

You memebers of the CPUSA are reading it - in my hopes of you all maybe to tell leadership to do better. I think your leaders ought to give the American people a bit more credit than being sheepish and apologetic about your own subjects. It's insulting to the public who has been toyed with enough by the other parties for too long. Especially with this Russiagate BS whipping up a 3rd Red Scare -which no one seems to talk about.

Red Scares are largely around competing resources more so than ideologies at their root. That's something people need to understand on all sides of this. Oil. Rare earths. Rich person's pissing match which we all pay for with inflation and attacks on civil liberties. You all understand this. It is just a matter of connecting the two and extrapolaiting that with our historic involvement in the area going back to meddling in the Russian Civil War. Probably beyond the scope a bit, but that's what's fueling the current bruhaha. That and fascist nostolgia for getting back at the Ruskies for spoiling their genocidal freakshow.

The Maidan coup was very significant and the crux of what is happening today. It is not the intrigate details of every battle. It is a significant chapter. Joe mentioned Russia's involvement in Ukraine - he's opened himself up to that two minute cliffs notes on the situation at a minimum. He could point to the CIA's own public release in our backing of fascists in for decades. It isn't crazy to point out publicly released information of our own activities. It gives the common person a point of reference. They can google these things if they want further information.

One could just say Russia pull out...Putin bad blah blah. Ok Rachel Maddow. /s

And then what? What would NATO and do to the territories? Let them choose their own way? Like they did in rejecting Maidan in 2014 and were subjected to lynching and ethnic cleansing and a decade long bombing campaign by thier own so called country and the entire western reserve armory with MADE IN THE USA bombs?

The appologizing for the Soviets was .... disappointing. It feeds into that "evil Stalin" propagada the west shoves down everyones throat. Ok lessons learned on some things not everything perfect but thats with everything. What next "Stalin's Holocaust"? /s I'm being cynical here. But you see why someone can roll their eyes at that?

The preventing a "truly American" revolution I rolled my eyes on too. Maybe because I see the end goal as something common and not specific to a certain nation. This Yadda yadda with American charecteristics. /s or not - at 22:25 Joe says "we need to create a model that's based on the United States and not on any other country". Ugggggh.

In name only is what it is going to be.

As for the Pluto stuff I will not entertain . Pluto does what Pluto does. They're another CPUSA memeber. If I wanted the CPUSA to poof I wouldn't waste my time, patience, and sanity responding to you all. I'd laugh and move on. I post because I care. But like many things, I learn that the more I care, the more trouble it seems to bring me.
