the protestors' hearts are in the right place but the people running(or claiming to run, tbf they lie about this pretty often) the protests are like the oppiest ops i've ever seen.

part of fixing the problem is acknowledging that this was, unfortunately, always your america

The logical and inevitable end of a system that worships at the altar of the "rule of law," where if you break the law you deserve what you get so it's okay to make prisons and jails as cruel as possible, is that the people in power will simply define certain people as breaking the law by existing.

Eh stopping Israel involves his personal involvement and he's a coward that hates that kinda thing. That said Trump is extremely impulsive and does whatever, but I wouldn't count on him doing anything.
Biden would've actively gone to war if someone tried to stop it though

no on Palestine specifically he's p. much identical. he's not personally committed to the slaughter like Biden is but he still lets it happen so

the opposing party are also content to let it happen

i'm not sure why he's going to all the trouble, the usa has enough concentration camps at home

"the us is a net negative force on the world as evidenced by it's foreign policy being a history of horror and slaughter" versus "nuh-uh"

i think i would react violently if someone just leaned against the wall and told me this out of nowhere

Though typically they never elaborate when asked to for this reason, which makes asking for elaboration a pretty good method of shutting down that rhetoric.

I agree. The part that always bugs me the most is that framing it like that means they are fully aware on some level that the insane shit is insane shit.

Just because we disagree on one tiny thing the left are throwing childish tantrums.

"bias" is thinking that the US has ever done anything good foreign-policy wise past (reluctantly) fighting the nazis that one time.

I'm not sure what they expect to happen if that takes place. Jesus Christ: famously known for His love of the murder of innocents

that's because you're a functioning human being. the way the ruling class gets away with this kind of stuff is that most people don't think being that craven is even possible.

if only it wasn't being led by the poster "children" for giving up and carrying water for the oligarchy

you can just type random bullshit and liberals will think it's some deep message about freedom, apparently

"middle class" is in of itself a red flag

"War" buys into the Zionist framing that every single Palestinian is an enemy combatant.
comment in response to

tbf i think part of it is the ruling class trying way too hard to shut everyone up, though the protestors still get credit for that

i liked when the robot was yapping about how it was all for the good of humanity and doomguy just casually glances at the dead guy on the ground. he's mad at hell for the right reasons rather than just 'cause

they were leaders in the sense that you had to do what the usa said or they would kill you

the zombie fantasy of being a weird little survivalist sociopath never really appealed to me and is probably why last of us didn't interest me

i remember someone arguing that crockett and aoc were still a reason to support dems. i laughed at aoc but conceded the point on crockett as i knew nothing about her.
welp.

not sure why it's remarkable that leftists care about children starving to death. that kinda seems like a base requirement to be a leftist. or a human being.

once again leftist purity testers and their unserious demands like "what about a candidate who hasn't committed sex crimes" are ruining democracy

I feel like his popularity is going to last right up until he has to back any of it up and reveals that he is in fact still a liberal
still he's at least saying some of the right things

arabs and immigrants exist so often in the american Smart Liberal mind as "they're equal, but they're not EQUAL equal, you know?"
they know they DESERVE the same protections, but they never MATTER enough for them to set much of a line in the sand for them. they're just too politcally inconvenient.

probably better than they deserve but otoh they're probably really mad forever about it

why is harris being interviewed about any of this.

something similar happens on economic issues. dems agreed with republicans that the economic downturn after covid was the fault of the stimulus and not ceos rampantly ripping everyone off to make up for the "loss" of profits
comment in response to
post
just look at any of them talking about immigration, and how they always start with how the republican framing that the border must be psychotically protected at all times is correct and they just disagree on details
comment in response to

if by some miracle there's both an election and they win it you just know they're gonna quietly continue whatever insane shit trump has done too
comment in response to

calling the left performative when the dems' total resistance to trump has been nothing but is laughable

dems do this pretty much constantly with any republican narrative
