No.
No.
We can't get murders to zero, so I guess we just have to live in a militarized police state??? 🤷
The reason is that any time America wants to build something, dozens of corporations need to be involved and they all have to not only be paid to build it, they need to make a profit, their executives need a bonus, and the shareholders need a buyback program. This is the inefficiency of capitalism.
People are just parasocial with these influencers so they don't want to believe it. If the story was about a right-leaning influencer, all these liberals would be outraged.
Obama was not a good president.
Also the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan were clearly neocolonial. We didn't intend to take territory, just extract resources, protect existing resource extraction, ensure capitalism is the dominant global force, and prioritize the needs of multinational corporations.
You're drawing a line that purposely excludes the kind of illegal activity that the US engages in, neocolonialism. The US has been part of some 80 coups/attempted coups. Since 2000 we targeted: Haiti, Venezuela, Honduras, Paraguay, Bolivia, Egypt, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and even Ukraine in 2014.
They do. The US, Russia, and China are the countries that get to do this kind of thing. You may have noticed how international law doesn't apply to the US when we invade other countries and let Israel occupy and genocide people. Powerful nations have been getting away with it forever.
Israel has been doing it for years with the US providing international cover and Russia took Crimea back in 2014 so I'm not sure we live in the world you described. Powerful nations just get to do this kind of thing.
Ok bro, keep fantasizing a horrible thing that isn't happening and encouraging the continuation of a hopeless war.
Did America appease the Vietnamese communists when we abandoned our war. How about the Taliban in Afghanistan, did we appease them? It's called losing a war. They need to stop sacrificing a generation of Ukranian men to a war they literally cannot win.
You know the reason this war wasn't settled years ago is that weapons manufacturers make more money the longer this goes on, right? Countless deaths could have been avoided, but people like you keep getting tricked into supporting endless conflict.
Russia has taken 20% of Ukraine despite the west dumping hundreds of billions of dollars in weapons and now we are at a stalemate. The war has been lost. Face reality.
That's insane. Sending troops risks nuclear war. Giving up 20% or whatever is better than nuclear war.
Ok so what do we do, just keep letting millions of people die? You're the one treating them like video game soldiers. This is all going to end with an agreement one way or the other. Fighting forever doesnt help Ukrainians.
I understand that people want justice for Ukraine and for Russia to be defeated, but Russia has outlasted the west. Our countries are not going to pay for the war to go on forever just to be a stalemate that continues slaughtering Ukrainian soldiers.
Of course they will keep fighting, but they will lose more territory as their army dwindles. I don't know why people want the war to continue. 1.7 million Ukrainians have died and they gain nothing by continuing.
Ok, but Ukraine will run out of soldiers and they will continue to lose territory. Russia has more men, time, and patience. It seems like they won.
Is he wrong though?
Hey 😏
Incredible.
Well he's failing by his own standard and should step down lol
People don't know how read and understand the news. There is no way they know how to interpret underlying themes in a TV show. 😆
Great, now we can find out about what music he likes and read his thoughts on college basketball while we descend into fascism.
These universities exist to make money. If their money is threatened, they will instantly drop free speech or whatever liberal value you think they are supposed to uphold.
Not russia specifically, but america always sides with fascist leaders in order to extract resources. We arm the fascists to crush democracy and we take what we want.
America has always done this, the president just says it out loud now.
She's a relentless democrat defender. She's one of the people throwing their hands up saying "well, we don't control anything." A real progressive needs to push the party left and challenge the people running the party, so they can win again.
..and Jen Psaki is one of these "progressives" 🤔
Blatantly illegal. Missing an email is not a resignation.
Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
This is how it’s done.
Yeah ok 😆
He's proving why too much social media is bad for your mental health, lol.
Hard to take him seriously when he didn't even try to reverse Trump's tax cuts.
Why does he need to break absolutely everything. 😒
Why did you purposely delay the release of this documentary until after the election? It's almost like msnbc doesn't mind that he won.
America is an incredible place.
Absolutely insane.
REVEALED: Drop Site News has uncovered that Israel has now contracted private companies specializing in settler construction to work in northern Gaza. Younis Tirawi reports for @dropsitenews.com www.dropsitenews.com/p/israeli-pr...
I love how insane this is
WATCH: Our health care spending outpaces the rest of the world, but they’re living longer. Seems like maybe something isn’t working. 🤷🏻🇺🇸 💰 They say we can’t afford universal health care — but the truth is we can’t afford not to do it. #MedicareForAll
They will only be free when we completely dismantle the regulatory state and lower their tax burden. This will certainly be good for me with my 20 year old toyota camry and no money in the bank. -the typical american voter
I didn't even read your comment. I'm talking about smerconish. Republicans are baiting people into talking about trans people in sports to help their agenda of spreading transphobia. Smerconish willingly takes the bait and tries to intellectually tackle an issue that is not even a real problem.
Liberals like this always take the bait from republicans. Trans people are under attack by the republican party and smerconish is out here trying to have an intellectual debate about a non-issue, adding to the rampant transphobia spreading around the country.
It's all been a lie. He's going to do his best to destroy the EPA so he doesn't have to deal with these rules ever again.
Oh god, no. Somebody stop this.
Can't wait for RFK to make vaccines optional and watch measles and polio make a comeback. 😒
I will defend AOC until she actually changes her values which she hasn’t done. You can nitpick any politician for anything but just obsessively focusing on AOC who is one of 535 people in congress is fucking creepy. Politicians are also people and aren’t perfect. Go organize!
One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
Crockett: 19 of the 26 Republicans on this committee voted against keeping FEMA funded and 9 are in states that were directly hit. I don’t understand why we pretend that we have all these issues with this agency when you don’t want to fund it.
Rocha: I also don't think Gaetz doesn't get it because of a sex scandal. I think Gaetz specifically doesn't get this because he's an asshole to people and people in the Senate don’t like him.
Spotted on the subway:
The algorithm on Twitter is completely busted. It prioritizes whatever you've liked recently, and good accounts like yours just completely disappear. 😒
Alina Habba says Americans should support Donald Trump: “You’ve got to own when you lose and say: this is America. We have to stand behind President Trump…When Obama won, we stood behind Obama. That's what we used to do.” Fact-check: This is false.
NOOOOOOO 😭
the best part about bluesky is that, unlike twitter, it isn’t putting annoying bull shit designed to piss me off in front of me every 3 minutes
In the next two months, Senate Democrats can... -Fill 47 judicial vacancies -Ensure a Dem majority on the NLRB -Appoint key regulators to the SEC and FDIC to protect the American people from financial fraud -Reappoint FTC Chair Lina Khan Democrats need to act. Now.
