So you’re saying it’s generally a good idea but because now some of the Dems support the idea, we should no longer publicly support

No, they’re very clearly not saying that. They’ve explained themselves already, but to add to their point: Liberals have a long and consistent history of coopting working class movements, using them to achieve their own ends and then throwing the working class under the bus, going so far as to violently suppress the movement if it doesn’t fizzle out on its own. There is no reason to believe US liberals (aka Democrats and any Republicans willing to defect) won’t try to use this very successful playbook, so it needs to be counteracted starting right now. Organize a general strike and don’t let anyone who won’t support universal healthcare within a mile of it. The DNC isn’t currently the one holding the guns, but that doesn’t make them any less of an enemy to the working class.

but these numbers should give people massive pause at what the alternative looks like.

If you think anything Carney is doing is avoiding “the alternative” I have an America to sell you.

It’s wild to me that with as centrist as Carney’s been, he’s barely pulled any of the actual conservative vote to him.

That’s because centrist liberals don’t, in fact, pull conservatives; I mean how would they? Centrists affirm that conservatives are right, and if you’re right and have someone who represents you fully why would you settle for half measures? It’s leftists who pull conservatives, because they actually present new/“new” solutions to people’s problems.

TLDR: Between three parties that promise to kill all Jews, kill half of all Jews and implement minimum wage respectively, someone who believes the solution to their poverty is to kill all Jews is going to vote for either 1 or 3, but never 2.

What’s that?

Thanks Biden!

My impression is that they’ve been purging people from past administrations, not their own appointees. If that’s off the mark I’ll have to rethink my position, but so far the purges can be explained by how they likely want high-ranking bureaucrats and military officers to be solidly in their camp.

I disagree on the MAGA part. MAGA is currently preparing for a coup, so they need ideologically compliant sycophants at the top levels of power. That’s not paranoia; it’s a pragmatic and effective strategy.

Relevant.

You can guess how much love I have for US allies.

I love the smell of leopards eating faces in the morning.

But Israel insists it’s been built without the necessary permits.

No mention of how it’s almost impossible to get the necessary permits. This article doesn’t even have a pro-Israel slant so it’s just weird how this piece of information isn’t included.

I’m gonna go against the grain and say no, it would in fact be bad for everyone involved if someone killed Trump. Trump is evil, sure, but he’s also stupid and there are plenty of non-stupid evil people who would want to take his place. Or, now that I think about it, it might good for Iran, but it’d definitely be terrible for everyone else.

Um… it might surprise you but there are, in fact, things that are more important than the Epstein files. Nothing is going to come out of the Epstein files; everyone who cares about the truth already knows Trump is a pedophile.

Science has yet to uncover what it is about Trump that makes liberal politicians so weak in the knees.

Now this is a distraction from the Epstein files, but fuck it do it anyway.

Way overdue, frankly.

Somaliland only has like 6 million people. It’d almost definitely intensify the civil war, especially because Palestinians would 100% partner with the Houthis.

If this happens I hope this is the straw that broke the camel’s back

Absolutely not, this camel can take a lot more of these.

Counterpoint: All of 20th and 21st American history outside of WWI and WWII. The US never declared war on Iraq or Afghanistan.

Hell, they gave it to Henry fucking Kissinger.

I mean in principle sure, but this has been happening for almost a year now and barely any escalation has happened. At this point protests are acting as release valves more than anything else.

The generation of Gazan children that lived through the war will likely be the most traumatized, both physically and mentally, in the world. I don’t want to even think about the generational trauma that will result from this.
