I bought a Medicare for all sticker a week before his final debate. That night I crossed his name out so it doesn't taint a good policy.
i never got my bumper sticker or whatever from all my donations last time smdh, a santos-esque campaign liar
Walked 30 miles and knocked 165 doors the day before super Tuesday for this fucking loser. Here's my receipt

Imagine ever wasting your time believing in electoralism, I could've just gone hiking
Wait, people in USA get randomly and personally harassed in their homes to vote for the libs, jehova witness style?
We do door knocking as part of electoral campaigns here in the UK too. It's called canvassing.
There will be next to no volunteers doing it for Starmer but we had fucking endless supplies of people that wanted to do it for Corbyn.
I've experienced it exactly once in Denmark. Some nobody succdem candidate knocked on my door and gave me a rose and a flyer. It was a very perplexing experience.
This is why you should have Enhedslisten Ø sticker on your door. It is a campaign sticker that doubles as international symbol for "do not" (in this case, knock or bother). 10/10 would recommend
Yes, that was my bad. But I have liberated myself from the cult, now I warn people against ever believing in such things.
Yes. It is straight up cult behavior in many ways. Especially if you consider the vague contradictory campaign promises and how all of the libs seem like they were gene spliced in the same lab. Burgerlanders actually believe the nonsense "reduce crime, X culture war issue, cut taxes" line from both sides and, critically, fail to recognize that red team and blue team are on the same side.
There were parts of the rural western states where the only way to get to people's houses was on horseback.
I still think that it was not worthless that you and other people did that, just because it gave some people experience on what it's like to be a soldier rather than an internet communist
I did the same, I don't regret it but I've moved past it.
It got me outside talking to my neighbors, having some really great conversations.
I even got to meet Ilhan Omar.
same.. it was the first and last time i ever did dumb shit like that. even got yelled at by some trump fellers sitting out in their driveway gettin smashed on natty light. dunno how many houses my partner and i hit but we knocked out at least 3 neighborhoods
i also gave that fucker the max donation... never ever ever again
I found out about Chapo from other people on Sander's Slack page, the bloodthirsty centrist is directly responsible for me being here right now.
John Oliver floats a trial balloon for taking a stand on an undeniable genocide.
The air force has just shot down that trial balloon, claiming it is Chinese 🎈
HBO would never have let him on their channel in the first place if he was any sort of threat to the rich bastards funding them.
Idk I think it fits his overall stances. He’s not that bad, a lib for sure but one that seems to try, I never took him as cynical
What his stance might personally, privately be is beside the point. What matters is the stance he projects on his very public platform.
Watch him talk about any country in the imperial periphery or semi-periphery. Hell, you don't even need to go that far, watch his video on DeSantis, where he says DeSantis would be less bad than Trump.
literally choked on my drink laughing lmao, maybe the funny british man is alright
He has consistently okay to good takes on US domestic policy and consistently dogshit takes on foreign policy. I suspect that his whole schitck is to get left leaning people on side with cogent domestic criticism so that he can shape their outlook on foreign affairs.
Capitalism will destroy this country. If you don't pay people enough to live their lives, why should they slave for you?
“this should be a site tagline” is Hexbear’s “thanks for the gold, kind stranger!” but this would be a good tagline
Did anybody watch the full John Oliver segment on Palestine? I'm too scared to click
I bit the bullet. tl:dw - he tried to straddle the line for an American audience by saying both sides were bad. He went on to admit he wasn't educated enough on the subject to explain the history and continued by saying that those in power (Hamas and Bibi) don't represent the opinions held by everyone there. Finally, he denounced collective punishment of Palestinians and called for a ceasefire.
IMO, it's an opinion fairly left of the American political center, keeping in mind that America's political center is skewed to the right, and has always been the area John operated to try to widen the Overton window.
can we have an emoji of jamie olive oil saying "yayuh!" whyesseff@hexbear.net
