This is the party I am 'supposed' to vote for?
Yeah nah.
This party literally won the popular vote in 2016 and 2000. Voting doesn't work! Participating in the system won't fix rot caused by the system, people are all just cowards and want their life to be one of always comfort and everything is just a consumer game, they think it's "other" generations that had/have to be the fighting ones where history happens, so "just vote and maybe attend a protest once in a while" is a necessary delusion.
:swole-doge: "I am going to fight the literal US army so that I and my friends will not have to work to death"
:cheems: "Pwease vote for liberals so they will be more likely to appoint someone to an unelected position who will maybe not strip away our human rights"
This is exactly like the kente cloth thing. Purely performative actions that don't even look good to their intended audience.
They're non-interventionist. Maybe we can ask Vietnam, they have experience with ousting fascists.
Maybe they'll change their tune post balkanization
At the very least I hope they financially support me as a warlord
I have nothing against you personally but it's incredibly frustrating that you brought up balkanization specifically in response to Democrats dabbing on anyone expecting them to do something useful
Balkanization only makes sense within the context of two factions that have actual opposing interests. The Dems don't really give that much of a shit about gun control, they only pass token legislation whenever one of the kids the FBI gave an AK to gets too rowdy. They don't care about police violence, dems cracked down on the Floyd protests with reckless violence. They don't care about abortion, see Celluar. They're both parties controlled top to bottom by capital, and in many cases by the exact same donors. That fracture would only make interstate business even harder and potentially open up an avenue to the left. Who's even pushing to leave the union, other than the right which as we see already have control over every lever of power?
Yes, the Dem base doesn't want to live in the same country as the qanon dipshits. Even when their objections to them just aren't on cultural grounds, like abortion, the party doesn't give a shit. They hate their voters and you, the reader, who god I hope are two different entities.
its good geopolitical sense to arm rebels in your rival at least. I think China still doesn't want to go hostile relations with the West yet, but tbh if we had a serious socialist movement we could probably get at least covert support. might not be necessary or a good idea though depending on the terms and circumstances. China is based and all but any revolution has to be domestic, Xi shouldn't be dictating the course of an American revolution, though we should of course be friends and allies.
I personally, welcome our new Ho Chi Minh ghost overlord.
Literally unbelievable.
Apparently the singing is a victory lap about the gun control shit they passed
Saving the potted plant as the rest of the house burns down.

If they had any dignity left they would all head for the nearest toilet and drown themselves in it. None of their children would miss them.
I've never seen the Independent say "fucking" in a title before. I can feel this writer completely and totally 100% holding the same sentiment.
Brit media is going to drag America through the mud for this and while workers are striking it's going to be used as a "look how much worse it could be" example.
This is beneficial to the American left, so use it while you can. It's a distraction for the British working class from how bad it's getting here.
Looking forward to AOC or Bernie to conjure up Malcolm X and tell Democrats, "We need to stop singing, and start swinging."
“The white conservatives aren't friends of the Negro either, but they at least don't try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the "smiling" fox.”
:malcolm-checks:
As much as she usually sucks, AOC at least is out with the protesters chanting that the Supreme Court is illegitimate
Is she giving them the keys to Pelosi and co's homes? if not then I dont care
:doubt: never said she doesn't suck now, just slightly less than usual
She trying to start any motions to increase the court's size? Or ANYTHING legislatively lately?
Last I saw was stuff in April of last year
She and the squad voted “yay” to sanction Xi and China because they aren’t going along with western sanctions of Russia 😂
To quote Randy Quaid from Independence Day: "I picked a helluva day to quit drinking."
Luckily I'm still in the tapering off phase so I've got a buzz right now but... I really wanna get blind drunk and yell at the fucking moon.
Coincidentally, same here! No buzz unfortunately but I'm struggling not to run down to the corner store for a handle of vodka. If successful, this will be night one of not getting completely smashed by 10pm (and staying smashed until 5am). Solidarity, comrade.
I'm going to give her the slightest amount of credit in that she also boosted a bunch of abortion funds.
Still though. Wow.
It's time to start stealing dead people's identities and getting extra votes in :screm-cool:
Boomers are hilarious. WTF are they doing lol
Bitcoin hostesses
Telling millennials that our free ride is over cuz delivery apps are going under
Singing a dated song to protest something.
In context, it honestly seems like the song is celebrating the ruling. Absolutely dogshit political instincts, the lot.
If there's no Rosa equivalent to murder, do you think they'll just assassinate Bernie out of desperation?
I saw some libs scolding AOC for chanting "The Supreme Court is illegitimate!" with some protesters so my money is on her
I've been doing that since 2010 when the best healthcare plan they could get with a super majority was the ACA
:joker-troll:
No they started with the Romney plan and negotiated Right from there.
