An educated, active electorate bypasses citizens united. We can do that ourselves. All that does is buy propaganda. We just have to speak truth loudly enough and get people involved. We need political action communities.

I once told a woman at the checkout that my knees could feel the rain coming. She looked at me (early 30s) and laughed very loud. I chuckled along, then I went home and cried.
Some 80k Palestinians were murdered when hundreds of villages were destroyed and they were forced out. The killing has never stopped since. So what are you trying to argue? Either they were killers or they enabled it. Same difference. Now ask how “refugees” got weapons…

Ha! Says the two who have not actually refuted a single point I’ve made. The sad part is that what you’re trying to do is hurting you just as much as it hurts anyone else. You can’t buy your way out of what’s coming. Your comfort will be gone soon enough and then you’ll see how the rest of us live.
What the hell is wrong with that other 14%?
They could have fought voter suppression & election interference, disinformation networks, prosecuted Trump, enacted election reform… They did nothing because they were scared to lose their money power.
Show me where on the Democratic platform any of that exists.
BAHAHA! Harris reneged on healthcare, despite running on it before. She REFUSED everything on that list. Blue states could do much of it and REFUSE. When people like Mamdani start talking about change, centrists lose their minds even worse than with fascism. You’re delusional.
Lol, Otpor in Serbia voted a dictator out of power through overwhelming numbers. We could have done the same, but comfortable voters like you demanded Americans sacrifice so that you could keep your comfort. They made their stance clear for decades. This is on you.
Universal healthcare +min wage Affordable housing AR15 ban Police reform prison reform End of GENOCIDE. End of fossil fuels before the planet DIES… I could keep going. Should I keep going?
It’s a yes or no. Obviously, 90 million people didn’t think the chips act was good enough. Surprisingly, when people can’t afford rent and groceries at the same time, slow burn job growth doesn’t cut it.
At least. You two keep making the same stupid deflections, because you have no real argument.
You DO know how good cop, bad cop works, right? The good cop isn’t supposed to be the same. They offer minor concessions to look better than the psychopath, so you make a deal. The end result is you still get screwed.
Do you agree that they would probably have won if they had offered real reform and/or ended support for genocide?

I expect my enemies to be against me. If my allies are against me, they are saboteurs, worthy only of scorn. “The other guy will hurt you worse” is not a platform, it’s abuse tactics.
The only thing you have done is defend the Democrat’s BS argument “the other guy will hurt you worse.” That’s not a platform, it’s abuse tactics.
If your prosperity must be bought with the blood of the innocent, then you don’t deserve it.
Did I ever once defend Republicans? Keep deflecting and building strawmen, you just prove me right all the more. There is nothing that can defend the Democrats selfishness, so you have to attack the messenger.
Do you agree that they would probably have won if they had offered real reform and/or ended support for genocide? Just the same. You won’t answer because you know I’m right. Bunch of corporate shills. Comfortable middle class not making any of the sacrifices you demand from others.
You still haven’t answered the question, because you don’t want to admit I’m right. They could have won, but they’d rather capitulate to fascism than risk austerity for the rich. Yet you still defend them. So you’re either a useful idiot or a corporate shill.
A single bucket of water when the house is on fire isn’t a solution, it’s an insult. Do you agree that they would probably have won if they had offered real reform and/or ended support for genocide?
If your prosperity must be bought with the blood of the innocent, then you don’t deserve it.
Lol, first off, it’s easy to pass the biggest in history because they have done NOTHING for decades. Second, if they were serious about defeating fascism, they would have offered the reform or end of genocide needed to win. They lost because they wanted to.

Good catch. All the people telling us that we’re “both siding virtue signaling” are parroting corporatist propaganda. Good grief, figure it out people.
You think ending genocide is virtue signaling? Supporting unions and stopping neoliberal exploitation in a time when full time workers are homeless? The only virtue signaling here is pretending corporatists are decent representatives.
Woosh. That was my whole point. The Democrats were have in office, 80% of them, don’t choose socialism. They offer minor concessions. Why do you think we’re losing to bloody fascism of all things?
They know, they don’t care. It’s a death cult.
You should go to Open Secrets and look at the funding for Democratic members of Congress…
They have also stated that any Christian who is not a nationalist is a demon. I assume they believe that literally everyone but them are demons.
Obligatory screw the DNC.
That’s what it comes down to. They have been indoctrinated with a superiority complex, but the cognitive dissonance of seeing an “inferior” (x2) objectively smarter and more successful than them causes their brain wiring to smoke. Rage ensues.
If you support the ones enabling zionists, then you are a Zionist. It’s like letting a Nazi join your rally.
Again, I voted. I’m saying she lost because she didn’t try. You’re blaming the victims, but I’m not surprised considering how rude and insulting you are. You think the ones living through neoliberal exploitation care if the rest of us suffer fascism? Demand better or fail.
Now you are trying to do the same thing. You zionist loving, corporatist sympathizers clearly are not making any of the sacrifices that you demand of all other Americans. You are selfish, short sighted, and the direct cause of our nation’s collapse into fascism.
No, the objective truth is that 90 million people refused to vote for Harris because SHE refused to champion meaningful reform or denounce Israel and YOU centrists insisted that THEY kneel, instead of Harris bowing to the will of the people.
Please join in adding your own prayers each day until this suffering is ended.

Daily Prayer For Palestine (all faiths & philosophies) We pray for wisdom, compassion, honor, and justice for our leaders to do what is right and end this genocide. To stop supporting, enabling, and excusing Israel’s atrocious actions against innocent people and children.
THAT’S what it reminded me of! Thank you, I’ve been racking my brain.
We’d all be better off if *nothing* was about making money.
Surely there is a law against impersonating the president? Right?…
If your prosperity must be bought with the blood of the innocent, you don’t deserve it.
First off, I voted and it wasn’t “sabotage.” It was ordinary people not wanting to vote for their oppressors. Second “if you don’t let me do genocide, the other guy will do it worse,” is a monumentally stupid argument.
Multiple thermodynamic experts agree that we are running out and have even estimated 2030s for that. As for emissions, that’s an infrastructure issue. If we build nuclear ships, we can save the oil for medical plastics. But we need real leaders for that.
Yes, but I think more of it is the superiority complex. They will suffer so long as they can feel better than the Other. It’s a cult of narcissism.
More over, the current “investments” are actually just trying to stock pile because we are running out. Oil is already energy negative to extract (though in part bc how inefficient our engines and power plants are). You don’t do things like fracking if easy access oil is still there.
We still need them. Until we have all nuclear cargo ships and replacements for medical and scientific plastics (good luck with that), it will be needed. Even then, there will be no alternative for long term air travel.
Not committing genocide isn’t a purity test, it’s literally the lowest bar. Helping real Americans with real reform isn’t a purity test, it’s the bare minimum of the job requirements. You centrists trying to force the “lesser evil” on us to keep your own comfort is what got us fascism.

Yeah, a corporatist getting money from a big corporation is not really the progressive banger that OP seems to think it is. Why are they so bad at this and how are we still losing to people like this?
Erica Chenoweth’s research proves it. You can either join what actually has a chance to succeed or suffer and fail. Your choice.
The authoritarian pushback was in direct response to non violent resistance WINNING all over the world for decades. Orange Revolution in Ukraine, Otpor in Serbia, South Africa, Egypt, Tunisia, Bangladesh… When it got to the Arab spring, they got real scared. What you’re doing is bias confirmation.
The fact that is the only example you could really think of proves my point all the more. The media plays up the violent ones and never mentions the much more numerous non violent sides stories. Like Otpor in Serbia, who voted out a dictator and then wrote a guide;
Lol, a revolution 250 years ago fought across an ocean does not compare to civil unrest today. Not to mention, it didn’t actually accomplish much, did it? Like most violent revolutions, it just replaced one oppressive regime with another.
Better yet, primaries this spring will measure the mood of true Americans who are sick of the corruption in our only alternative party.
Even in this age of police bodycams and bystander videos, there are certain categories of footage that most media organizations won’t share with the public. But it’s hard to imagine today’s media suppressing, as they did in 1937, footage from the anti-labor crackdown that resulted in 10 deaths.
Yeah, it doesn’t help that it shows most recent notifications first, so you have to scroll down to find the start of the conversation that you are often inadvertently part of.
How about we skip all that and I just throw up now? 🤮
It’s the WSJ. It was never real journalism to begin with.
Yes, like the fact that violent civil resistance is almost always a total failure. It gets treated as terrorism, gets put down violently, then those who aren’t imprisoned or dead flee for their lives and accomplish nothing.
“an armored car from the Mobile Brigade unit of the National Police suddenly sped through the crowd of demonstrators and hit Kurniawan, causing him to fall. Instead of stopping, the car ran over him.”
PBS helping fascists. Damn this timeline sucks. They PROTESTED the criminal corruption of govt. They RIOTED over the murder of a young man not even involved. But PBS buries that at the end. …
NEW — As the “Workers Over Billionaires” march ended, one organizer said “Every benefit you have, whether it’s an eight-hour [work]day, overtime, worker’s comp, health insurance, life insurance, vacations, that was all won by the labor movement — don’t you forget it!” thetriibe.com/2025/09/live...
This makes little sense. What’s the point of arresting humanitarian aid workers?
Wish people had figured this out 40 yrs ago, but better late than never, I guess.
I agree with ranked choice, but we need ppl who will enact it first. How do we get them off we don’t already have ranked choice? The only real answer right now is fielding progressives who aren’t corporate sellouts AND getting educated voters to support them in the primary.
Sorry, I was jumping a step back to the former argument. Ranked choice and voting in the primaries are both about getting better representation, but one we can do right now IF we don’t settle for candidates that are the “lesser evil.”
Houston mostly has decent leaders who are too smart to fall for this, but Texas state republicans hate the Democratic areas, so who knows if they find a way to bypass the city 🤷♂️. God I’m so glad I left Texas.
Wouldn’t have to fight at all if people just bothered to show up to the primaries.
You know he’s sick when he can’t even put on his makeup.
That’s an insult to Sloth.
“Thimble full of water poured on burning tree in effort to curb wildfire…” This is not news, it’s deflection. Shame on AP. God, we need real leaders.
Removing .00001% of plastic waste is AP news worthy? The VAST majority of ALL microplastics come from just TWO sources; fishing nets and synthetic fiber clothing.
No, no, I’m sure if everyone just rolls over and plays dead and appeases him, it will all work out for the best this time…
Don’t need inspiring, just need people who aren’t corporatist lapdogs. When the house is on fire, you don’t get to complain about how attractive your fire fighter is. Harris and the other corporatists are killing us, but Run For Something proves that regular citizens are ready to step up.

75% of the voters who vote in the general election. Plus the 90 million eligible non voters who don’t vote at all. Nothing changes until we get real leadership. The primaries is how that happens, but that requires knowledge and effort, so no one does it.
How are you going to get that? The answer is voting for honest, progressive candidates in the primaries. The answer is not compromising with oppression, exploitation, and genocide.
That’s nonsense. Violence is what they want, empirical evidence proves non violent civil resistance works, and no one has actually TRIED the political course, bc they STILL don’t show up for the primaries. www.nonviolent-conflict.org/resource/pat...

I just blocked the fool. The guy is clearly just a troll looking to fight someone. Probably got tired of Nazi affirmation on xitter and needed some conflict to make himself feel important.
It’s almost like they have some sort of ulterior motive…
Clearly a fool then. You need guns to defend you from…guns? No one is even trying to ban all guns, Just ARs. But you care about your delusions of soldiering more than the lives of school children. You are both sick and stupid.
More than 1,000 people currently imprisoned in Louisiana were convicted by split juries — ruled unconstitutional in 2020. Yet the state Supreme Court has declined to grant new trials, and lawmakers have repeatedly denied a reexamination of their cases. With @veritenews.org
Hell is a lie, but this is objectively not true. Every theologian and biblical scholar (such as myself) proves this is wrong. You don’t have to go to war with theists to be an atheist. That just makes you a bigot.
Gun control has worked in dozens of countries for DECADES. We have over 20 years of empirical evidence, so you’re either a liar or a fool.
