    Is this it? Is Ro Khanna going to be the one to publicly say "tankie"?

    You can hear the big clock that says "Sitting President says the word 'Tankie' on live tv" at the top just ticked

    "Hi, we're anarchists, and we're here today with the government to tell you why you should support the government."

    Also Ro Khanna is one of the worst people in government. Crazy that all he had to do was call himself a 'Bernie progressive' and everyone accepted it with no receipts. Fuck Bernie too, of course.

      What's necessarily wrong with Bernie? I realize he is more of a reformist and chooses to dumb down a lot of his talking points for the average person but other than that I don't know much.

        He’s an imperialist and has historically supported the US’s imperial meddling in places such as Yugoslavia (and I think in Afghanistan?)

            Bernie and Parenti used to be friends. And then America invaded yugoslavia and Bernie showed where his loyalties lied.

                I believe he also personally wrote about it in Against Empire. I know I read that story from his POV in one of his books.

                  You are right that he wrote about it, but it was in his book To Kill A Nation, and not Against Empire. Here is the direct quote from the book:

                  As the war dragged on and NATO officials saw press attention drifting toward the contrary story—namely that the bombing was killing civilians—“NATO stepped up its claims about Serb 'killing fields,'” notes the Wall Street Journal.2 Widely varying but horrendous figures from official sources went largely unchallenged by the media. Support for the bombings remained firm among Clinton supporters in Congress (including the one professed “socialist,” Bernard Sanders [Ind.-Vt.]), and among self-described humanitarian groups such as Human Rights Watch, Doctors Without Borders, and Concern Worldwide, along with “peace” groups, and various NGOs—many of whom seem to have convinced themselves that NATO was defending Kosovo from a holocaust.

                  Just searched through my copy of both Against Empire and To Kill A Nation to make sure party-parenti

                    Maybe it was Inventing Reality then? Fuck, I dunno, I know he talked about his friendship with Bernie for maybe a paragraph or two, not just that blurb.

                    This is really bothering me now, I'll find it soon!

        To add to other posts, there are videos of Bernie speaking in the 70's and 80's, if you watch them you can immediately see that Bernie of today is a vague ghost of what he used to be. Young Bernie would beat contemporary Bernie's ass

    They're really trying to recapture the popularity of that AOC stream. Only problem is that nobody gives a shit about these three and it will struggle to get halfway to 100k

    The AOC stream had Hasan, Pokimane, Corpse Husband, and a few others that were at their peak during that time. I know people in my country who have heard of and are fans of Pokimane, Corpse Husband, and Hasan. I've never met anyone who's heard of Destiny, Vaush, or Keffals outside of this site and other leftist spaces on the internet.

        He was big with zoomers a few years ago. Known for having a deep voice that young women considered sexy. My sister and a few of her friends used to gush about him.

      OHHHHH that's what this is, lmao, Ok dude. hasan-ok-dude

      Avery half-decent left politics streamer has been really critical of Ro Khanna for some time now, especially like the last year or two. So they couldn't or wouldn't get anyone besides these three.

      Also aren't all three huge assholes outside of politics and the internet as well? I know very little about any of them, and anything I hear just makes them sound like straight up bad people.

        Yes, they're all objectively horrible people, and I'm pretty sure that even the vast majority of libs who hold the exact same political positions as them would agree if they were actually exposed to the antics these three shitheads get up to.

        The only way to make sense of this is that this Khanna guy has some massively online zoomer radlib dweeb on his team who went "Hey you should do a thing with these people, my fellow kids would love that" and he just rolled with it lmao.

    Democrats doing events with people who have screenshot histories about the age of consent and sex with horses will not do the dems any favours with the crowd of people accusing them of being sexual deviants and pedophiles.

    You have to imagine this will get cancelled. People will tweet at Ro Khanna about Voosh being a proponent of beastiality and pedophilia and he'll have to cancel, right?

      It won't get canceled they'll do it with more than enough time to vet their backgrounds and then act surprised that rightwingers are screeching about the Dems inviting at least two people with evidence heavily suggesting they're pedophiles and the groomer hysteria will be fueled for a few more weeks
