They wanted it to go one way and it doesn’t. And to them, that means “it’s ruined”. They need to realize if it’s not “their” event, then yeah, they shouldn’t get to decide how it should go, even if it’s not to their liking.

now whats happening with her? I know she’s trying to bring back her leftist base after she burned that bridge for biden. is this related to that?

Lots of good answers in the thread.

of course. and this was BEFORE the right-wing takeover of the city council mentioned in the article (2022).

There is no good western country (maybe ireland, but im looking at them sideways too, maybe they did some fucked shit).

Yeah this, the firefighter interview, the Bernie interview. It’s been great. He also said if the ceasefire holds, and if international parties are then allowed, he’s interested in going into Gaza. Scahill obviously cautioned him about the dangers associated with doing that (i.e. Israel can claim at any point that Hamas has violated the ceasefire and start bombing again) but they both agreed on the importance of international observers, journalists etc to document what has happened. They agreed to talk off-camera more about that.

Lies. US officials are known to be liars and blame Israeli last-minute changes on Hamas. Watch Hasan’s interview with Jeremy Scahill (starting at 22:15). He provided an exclusive look at the signed ceasefire document by Hamas and other parties on Monday while Blinken and others continued to lie till Wednesday that Hamas was delaying. And the reason the Palestinians wanted the document to be signed and to be exact is because of precisely what Israel is trying to pull off here: renege on the deal and claim it’s Hamas. Change the terms late into the deal. Not adhere to what was actually agreed.

I just came across this on my fyp! Not Amerikan so don’t need to dl RedNote but I just might cuz a) my country might just ban TikTok too, were the biggest us simps there are, b) who knows what’ll happen to my TikTok w/o all the Amerikans, and c) it does look fun lol.

I do want there to be like genuinely magnitudes more people to transfer tho. Like, if the ban fucking goes through, let there be 50-100 million people on RedNote and not a single fucking person on IG or yt or whatever. Fuck them.

It’s the only site where I actually post or comment. Everywhere else I just lurk/exist cuz this place is too small

Tell me your Canadian without telling me your Canadian.

These progressives need to realize the only realize Bernie got the clout he did in the Democratic Party is cuz he’s an Independent. They literally can’t touch him. Everyone else? They shut them down. There is no scope for people like AOC or anyone else to rise higher and attain genuine power. And you have to always watch your back, cuz they’re always looking to primary you. It’s just a lose-lose. Even if you believe in electoralism, you cannot do so from within the Democratic Party. They will just suck you in and bleed you dry. You have to cut them off.

So what’s the deal with AOC? What would the Oversight or whatever position have done?

don’t show this to

Don’t forget blaming all problems on immigrants. But I guess even the Democrats do that now so there’s little difference there.

I’ll stick to Kamala cuz you brought her up.

IMO, they know what to do if they want to win. FDR showed them and was the most successful Democratic president in modern history. successfully. Bernie showed them by getting unprecedented number of people, young and old, rural and urban, to support him - without any institutional backing.

If Kamala wanted to truly, from the bottom of heart, win, above everything else - just like what Trump wants - then she would’ve done what they did. Promised populist policies, and presented herself as anti-establishment and gotten the staff that would support that.

Of course, this would require the DNC to back her up, giving her the kind of support Trump receives - but lets suppose for a moment they also want to just truly win at all costs - if that is what they want above all else, then why wouldn’t they?

This didn’t happen. This never happens. It will never happen. They might gesture towards some populist messaging sometimes (because there are factions within every group) but overall? They don’t want to win like that. They cannot afford to.

So they lose. And they combine their forces to defeat anyone who threatens to win along those lines.

To Democrats, being the Center party, being the neoliberal party, making sure they at some level appear to have some working-class voices, but never allowing them to rise beyond a certain level or amass more than a trivial amount of power, is far more important that “winning”. That is, in my opinion, their role.

IKR? Like, if we can add some examples with each of the statements of the Dems doing that, then I feel this could be a very good and convincing piece for libs on the fence.

I found the image on Twitter. I searched the quote via a search engine and it brought me to a Medium article from 2011.

Well, I say article. It’s just the quote. So I guess that’s the origin? I don’t know. Someone somewhere took it from Medium and made it all “officially”.

North Korea would never.
