A Radical Leftist I prefer to engage civilly about politics & philosophy but it doesn't always work out. I use speech-to-text a lot and rarely proofread, so reading my replies may require some intuition.

Sometimes I post things when I’m at a stoplight. And I don’t always have time to clean things up when I’m using my phone when I’m on my computer I try to use alt text with all of my posts
Forgive me I tried to use all text when I post originally but sometimes when I go back to things and I’m multitasking, I don’t always do it. It’s a picture of Schumer pointing out that he voted to send bombs to be dropped on starving children recently.
There’s a certain psychosis and psychopathy in people who can actually respond to a question about the killing of children with the answer, but they’ll grow up to be Arabs. It’s mind bending how racist and inhumane Zionist can be.
The US is a fascist state & fascism didn't begin with Trump & it won't end when he leaves. It's who we have become. Nothing short of a revolution is going to magically turn the country into a democracy. Fascists don't hand over power in elections it must be taken from them & they must be imprisoned.
I'm making no effort to prescribe what you discuss. All I implied was, to say "Democrats aren't perfect" is a gross understatement, the party is enabling a genocide, I think when it gets to that level maybe, just maybe calling a spade a spade becomes important. They are war criminals.
Guns are not going away, this is the culture. I'm not defending it just sayin' Americans love guns and violence and it is reflected in everything from movies to foreign policy. 🤷♂️ What ya gonna do? Pick them up, that would cause a civil war.
As if they care 🤷♂️ these people are essentially amoral and their priority is not what's good for the country, it's what their donors want. And anything is acceptable including dropping bombs on starving children. They just don't give AF
Partisan bickering is essential to cover the pressing need for revolutionary changes to a system that will quite literally provide bombs to be dropped on starving children. We're having a Nazi Germany moment and most Americans are still focused no the primaries as if that will fix fascism.
US foreign policy is not rational, it's just where the billionaire class push it, and no amount of suffering and death is sufficient to mitigate the indifference to the consequences of policy. man.fas.org/smedley.htm War is just a racket. And a very profitable one.
That would explain why Democrats just laid down in the last election in the face of massive voter suppression and likely some issues with vote counts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_Xd...
Compartmentalization does allow the most nasty bits to be put to the side. good point 😏
Indeed but if we're going to play the game of calling voters out of for the crimes of their political leaders then we're either all in or we're playing a dangerous and divisive game
To say that a group that is enabling and repeatedly voting to send bombs to be dropped on the starving children of Gaza is a group that is "not perfect" is setting the bar pretty fuckin low.
Every single Democrat voter and Every single Republican voter voted for deliberately starving the children of Gaza while dropping bombs one them. Every single Democrat & Republican vote voted for a war criminal who's guilty of crimes against humanity. I guess they can all fucking rot in hell ehh? 🤨
Right then American voters have enabled a genocide in Gaza, American voters are starving children to death while they drop bombs on them. American voters attacked Iran without provocation. American voters, Democrats and Republicans are war criminals & terrorists eh? That's how ya wanna play it? 🧐
The table is set for the police state dinner. At thee bottom of the article it states "Shootings are down 37% and homicides have dropped by 32% compared to the first half of 2024, while total violence crime dropped by over 22%..." So, 53 people shot in a weekend is an improvement. 🤔 Fukn' Amrikka 🤷♂️
But still the majority of the representatives in Congress have voted in support of genocide in Gaza. So now that’s not monolithic you’re correct. But it is evidence of who Democrats are and their willingness to turn their back on starving, children and bomb them
I mean for my money this is the kind of bitch that should just be ignored because we’re dealing with a government who is enabling a genocide on a bipartisan basis so any talk about how one crazy individual guilty of sex crimes against kids distracts us is a shame
Yeah, I’m feeling that, I get you. But I still don’t get why anyone of conscience who is reasonable wants to talk about sex crimes against children with any kind of partisan slant
I am not prepared to believe that people who enabled genocide care about women and children and minorities, etc. they’re sending bombs to be dropped on starving children. These people belong in prison, not Congress or the White House and all the Republicans with them.
Yeah, Schumer and Jefferies need to go. They need to go to prison. And if Democrats ever hoped to hold Republicans accountable to the law, they need to hold their own accountable to the law.
It’s bizarre how people can make sex crimes against children, a partisan issue.
While I’m sorry to say it, useless vultures run this country
I don’t believe their failure to provide us the national healthcare system at anything to do with the revenue needed. Has to do with protecting the insurance industry anything sort of a revolution that’s still gonna be the priority
As I said, I apologize if I didn’t understand your context, I only read your comment, not the thread
I apologize if I didn’t understand your context. For my money, the entire Republican Party and the overwhelming majority of the Democratic Party on a national level in prison, not in Congress or the White House.
Yeah, supporting genocide is really doing things the right way🙄
Neither Democrats nor Republicans are big on accountability. You might notice that the overwhelming majority of the Congress has been voting to send bombs to be dropped on starving children. Not exactly the picture of accountability.
Trump will eventually be removed from office either by legal process or he’ll go out first. But getting rid of Trump may make people happy, but it won’t solve the problems he created or the problems that lead to his rise.
Israel has murder, record numbers of journalists and why? Genocide is a bad look.
This mess won’t end when Trump goes away. I never believe Trump would complete his second term so I did believe he was gonna get a second term. Our problems are so much deeper than Trump.
It’s past time that people realize they’re all bad guys. Democrats and Republicans alike run one of the most brutal and criminal organizations on the planet and a very undemocratic fashion. I might add. American empire is not a force for good in the world or even in America
I have never believed Trump would survive his second term but I also don't think his departure from office will in anyway solve our social, political, or economic problems. And it wont magically make the US government a force for good. Remember, Biden also supported genocide & ethnic cleansing.
Somehow I don't think the Houthis will be deterred. There are the only group to directly engage Israel for its crimes against humanity. It comes to something with the Houthis are schooling the world on standing against genocide. Meanwhile the Wests supports starving and bombing children.
The world watches as Israel starves people to death while they bomb them and the US supplies the bombs. The western world is run by psychopaths, and the rest of the world has been castrated in fear. Bloody pathetic is what it is and tragic.
Democracy is long been an illusion in the United States.
Just wow, you’re advocating for muzzling people. The Democrat thing doesn’t work out for you. Maga is ready for you they like the ideas suspending free speech
Culture of impunity doesn’t develop overnight. Stop blaming the 2000s Dems, it’s about recognizing how we got here
It’s not really that complicated. America’s descent into fascism and oligarchy did not begin with Trump. And there are more than two choices. It is that belief and lesser evil that has facilitated the rise of fascism.
Trump is a symptom. The disease is fascist oligarchy and we were descending into that before Trump ever entered politics. And the failure to recognize that as facilitated his rise.
You don’t fix fascism with redistricting , fascist must be overthrown.
Chuck needs to be put on trial is guilty of crimes against humanity. Only accountability, deliberate the republic impunity has lead to fascism.
The road to Revolution has many lanes for conscientious citizens. But the road to tyranny has only two , submission or collaboration.
The Democrats don't hold people accountable, don't you remember, when Democrats were all up in arms over Bush and Cheney's war crimes, torture, a war of aggression etc... then Obama took office and told us to just let it go, it's in the past and we need to look forward.
I have been persuaded that America was an oligarchy since well before Trump ever entered political life. It became very obvious with Citizens United in 2010 but I wouldn't even say that is where it began. IMO at least as far back as Reagan if not before.
still meet non-violent non-compliance with force, however, it exposes them for the thugs that they are and complicates the PR strategy, and ultimately this is a battle for minds. But I don't discount the possible positive effects of the fascists seeing that we're coming at them from all sides.
And I don't think that non-violent non-compliance with authority is any safer. It's going to get ugly either way. The thing the state does best is violence and to meet them on that ground is to fight them where they are the strongest. I want to see them challenged where they are weak. They will
Agreed, revolutionary change is the only way out of our situation. And you've exactly correct that there are many ways to the destination. There is no safe way to revolution. I have just come to believe that the most effective course will be worker solidarity and our ultimate control will prevail.
How about revolution instead of secession. How about we start recognizing our real enemy (the billionaire class) and stop with this partisan BS that has lead us to fascism.
You're hardcore brother Hernandez. While we don't always agree on strategy I respect TF out of your commitment comrade 🫡
We've been conned! All this time we were told it was the immigrants, and now the Billionaires have all the fuckin cookies! Democrats & Republicans have been lying to us all along. It's like they are part of a fascist oligarchy designed to dominate workers. 🤔 We really should have seen this coming..
And 0% of our representatives are talking about holding those who have enabled this genocide accountable. Prison not re-election. Lock 'em all up!
100% 🎯 in the face of massive war crimes from Cheney and Bush, Obama took office and told us well, maybe they did torture some people but lets move on. Totally unacceptable and steering the ship of state directly towards the rocks of fascism.
The Democrats didn't do the bare minimum about the Gaza genocide, they made it possible. The foundations for fascism goes back decades. We facilitated its rise with the lesser evil voting strategy. And the refusal to hold our leadership accountable for their crimes.
Hindsight should be 20/20; The past is the foundation for the present. Democrats played their role in the demise of the republic. And voters kept allowing them to compromise and move to the Right. What we're seeing now is the result of decades of the lesser evil voting strategy.
We can't continue to look to outdated and undemocratic institutions or war criminals from both parties to bring us back. We have crossed the Rubicon. Only sweeping reforms and a massive ground swell of resistance can salvage the republic. leftest.substack.com/p/you-dont-f...
Delusional Democrats prefer democracy cosplay to demanding an end to fascism. This whole undemocratic redistricting BS is a pathetic waste of time. Get into the streets and fight. Not with violence but by organizing and demanding accountability & meaningful reforms. you don't vote fascism away.
This is not a slam. "Dangerous Trend" & "put the liberties of all Americans at risk." Oh fuck off. It's a candy-ass critique. In reality we're talking about evidence that the US is a fascist police state and that your liberties are subject to the whim of the authoritarian in charge.
There’s no conspiracy there. It’s documented facts. If you don’t think there was voter suppression you’re the conspiracy theorist.
He’s actually quite well-known investigative journalist who is probably an even better statistician. I’ve known about him for probably a decade. He does fine work.
I would add that I think it’s impossible to look at what he’s documented and not conclude that it’s legit
Because Democrats care more about confidence in the system than they do about victory. America has a duopoly that works for the oligarchy. They have a good thing going if people lose confidence in the system that good thing might come to an end.
Even before the election. Palast knew about it so it wasn't like it was a secret
The Democratic Party's national activities involve representation and support for every state. The Democratic National Convention (DNC) includes delegates from all 50 states. They are able to challenge results/push for recounts and IDK why they couldn't file suit for voter suppression.
20 toothpaste choices at my local supermarket and 2 choices at the ballot box. 🤷♂️ #Democrats suck #Republicans suck. #DemocratizeAmerica #EndOligarchy #ResistFascism
Dems put Wall Streets candidate in office in 08 and he served Wall Street well. He betrayed the rest of us and normalized extra-judicial assassination, refused to fight for Single Payer and instead gave the insurance industry a huge hand-out
reasonably fair cop, but the DNC arguably had their thumb on the scale as with the 2 previous elections. And IDK why you think that's bad news to me, I agree that the pandemic had an effect, but I also recognize that 2024 was not a free and fair election and both candidates were war criminals.
Could you remind me when the last presidential election was where a primary decided who the candidate would be?
Touché, we can't fix fascism with an election, we have to fix the electoral process that allowed fascists to come to power. The only way to do that is; get into the streets, start demanding democratization, revolutionary reforms, and accountability for things like crimes against humanity & genocide.
US elections are a process by which a criminal enterprise passes itself off as a democratic government. The president and the congress are above the law and US elections only serve to reinforce their impunity. Until these people are brought to trial, elections will just reinforce their impunity.
Revolution is on the horizon. Which side will you be on?
OK, we’ve all heard it before you can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich… But apparently you can’t get at grand jury to indict a man through a sandwich at one of Trump‘s Gestapo members.😂😂😂😂🤷♂️
The article says Actually says “Should bad actors gain access to this cloud environment,..." Should! Musk is a bad actor, it's a given that they have gained access. 🙄FFS America is in desperate need of a house cleaning. The wrong people are in prison.
Seems somehow fitting. Americans have neglected the democratic values they claim to hold so dear, and the result is a fascist autocrat with a clown car for a cabinet. Pretty much what I've expected for decades.
Trump may get the Nobel Peace prize by wrapping up the Russia/Ukraine war (though it seems unlikely) he may also get a piece of Denmark. To be fair the US is closer to Greenland than Denmark is🤷♂️and the US can beat Denmark up so they can take it if they want it, law of the jungle.
We don't have a democracy it's a fascist oligarchy and that ain't gonna change while people are pretending we have a democracy to save. And there is bipartisanship on covering up Epstein and genocide.
There is no danger to democracy in America because there is no democracy in America. And unless and until people recognize that fact we will continue to live in a fascist oligarchy. We have crossed the Rubicon, it's revolution or submission, we won't fix this in the midterms.
and just saying that Trump would be worse. That's when I knew we had crossed the Rubicon. Now the only way forward is revolutionary reforms. Violence won't work, they have more guns. But we produce everything and we can bring this bitch to a standstill. That's where our power lies.
IMO the 1st step is realizing that Trump is not the disease he is a symptom, we're living under a fascist oligarchy that has been decades in the making and impunity is the foundation on which it is built. When I saw Biden was supporting genocide and everyone in the Party was ignoring it
When we all stick together we can have them surrender to the ICC and we can have their replacements sign the Rome Statute and then the entire leadership class will be on notice that crimes against humanity will result in prison time.
The division is relatively new and the majority still supports genocide. The problem here is that accountability means they go to jail, and in the absence of accountability fascism will prevail.
I've been hearing what your saying for 40years and I've been waving my Hands and screaming at Democrats as they goose step to the right that the result would be fascism, now it's here and the party loyalists are still singing the same song. Just sad. Fascist don't surrender power in elections.
Trump has already been impeached twice, did that stop fascism? This is the same song and dance, we need the Democrats they can save us, it's BS they are guilty of crimes against humanity they aren't coming to save anyone, we should be coming for them and the republicans with handcuffs.
The majority of them belong in prison along side their Republican colleagues. We need to start talking about locking them up instead of electing them. Until some justice comes to the powerful, fascism will prevail.
I know like the UN and the rest of the world are fringe. You aren't even trying to make an argument because you got nothing, it's a live-streamed genocide and you're a holocaust denier.
I'm sick of people denying reality. There is a genocide going on and you're in denial as your leadership send weapons to facilitate the murder of starving people. History & your grandchildren will judge you more harshly than I can.
What's getting old is an electorate who is willing to accept a government where their only 2 choices both support genocide. The leadership of both parties are war criminals & and apathy about it has lead us to fascism. Democratic loyalists have thrown their moral compass into the sea.
Indeed they do, but unless we start to hold our leaders accountable for their crimes agains humanity we can expect them to continue. Prison not re-election. The majority of both parties should be immediately removed from office and placed on trial.
They are for the most part genocidal maniacs like their fascist buddies from the other side of the aisle. If the nuremberg laws come to town they will all be hung in D.C. But short of that we should put the majority of them in prison along with all the Republicans.
It's not a war it's a genocide. FFS
and the party just laid down and took it. They are worthless.
Democrats are not what the nation needs, we need democratic reforms and end to this oligarchy that Democrats pretend is a democracy along with the fascist partners on the other side of the aisle. Harris lost the election due to voter suppression and likely a good deal of manipulation of machines
Booker is a hypocritical POS he spent 25 hours straight waxing self righteous about justice only to vote to send more bombs to be dropped on starving children, he needs to be removed from office and placed in a prison cell for crimes against humanity.
The war started before Hamas was even an organization you're and idiot
that's the most idiotic statement I have read in weeks.
Biden's DOJ brought no additional case and Democrats considered it a Right-wing conspiracy theory, now that Trump is in office they are safe to pretend they want them revealed and Trump will pretend it's a Left-wing conspiracy theory. The real conspiracy is they bipartisan coverup
Both parties are criminal terrorists organizations.Look at all the blood they have collectively spilled around the world. Both parties are currently enabling genocide in Gaza. The leadership of this nation belong in prison not in congress or the White House they are guilty of crimes against humanity
But it is a good illustration of the fact that we are not a nation of laws. It's all BS. The whole SCOTUS design is stupid, lifetime appointments my ass. They need to be elected and stand for regular re-elections. We don't have a democratic nation and we won't get one until we get into the streets!
