Seventy-something lefty in Rural Vermont. No time for Red OR Blue MAGA, nazis, Zionists, capitalists, or cultists. Trying to beat cancer and existential despair with a great woman and pretty good weed. @[email protected] @[email protected]

I would simply not use a national party body to intervene in a primary race and instead build infrastructure for the eventual nominee, trusting the choice of primary voters, but then again I lack the political acumen of people who have steered the party into its lowest ever modern approval rating.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado speaking to Donald Trump Junior.

"We will privatize all our industries for you, American companies will profit greatly."

It's fascist traitor Margaret Thatcher.

Yeah, definitely kneecap the guy drawing the enthusiastic crowds and run a 77 year old machine Dem.

Goddamn, you children can’t stop shooting yourselves in the foot.

Considering the fact that Antifa means anti-fascism, you would expect for most people to be antifa unless they are, in fact, pro-fascism.

This is basic logic and I don’t understand why we have to keep explaining it.

Israeli diplomats said Biden applied zero pressure. None.

And he violated the Leahy Law to provide the means by which genocide was committed.

You just gave a preferred genocider, a preferred fascism, full stop.

Nobody is buying that line of bullshit. Dig up a better one.

Dear liberals, it's time to admit some hard truths. Your party is even less popular than before. You're hemorrhaging votes and the only saving grace it seems is that you're standing next to an actual dictator. 🧵

Those last three words is exactly why.

They support ICE.

Following the US Dem strategy.

Amazing how quickly Labour MPs start calling it a genocide, start criticising Brexit or start talking about taxing the rich once their polling tanks and people shift to the Greens.

Absolutely no moral compass

Hm.
Wonder why?

Dear Lisa Murkowski,
You turned a blind eye to this regime. What is happening to your state is a tragedy. You need to shoulder the responsibility of inaction by the federal government with help for your state. There is no FEMA or anyone else coming to your aid. Is this making America great?

Trying to salvage his corporatist legacy.

And it was Democratic “nay” votes that killed any hope for civilized health care. Because the Democrat in question was owned by the insurance industry in his state, and an exemplar of the Big Tent Fallacy.

Corps before citizens. Always.
Duopoly.

Congrats to all the people who have postured as intelligent and morally righteous for years but decided that they couldn’t take a stand against genocide or decided to justify and cheer on the massacre of a people for whatever reason. Now they can go back to playing the intellectual in peace.

How, exactly?
Because the tech I have (phones, tablets, laptops, desktops) ALL have parental controls, with third-party options available as well.

I mean - plenty to hate about tech corporatism but this ain’t it.

You had me with your first five words, TBH

And that leftists, unlike those who self-identify as liberals/progressives/“left-leaning”, realize this and understand the implications.

Doc Gordon @vthermit.bsky.social · 10h

Wondering if it’s possible that leftists cannot flourish as leftists within the right-centrist confines of the Democratic Party without being forced to abandon some or all of their leftist principles in order to even be acknowledged, much less endorsed/supported, by the party.

seeing some leftists getting all “maybe he’s not a true leftist” about Mamdani, and i swear to god, some of you do not live in the real world

There's a reason why it's "brave" to do such things. You yourself can go do that shit, but you can't expect other people to.

It wasn't "literally everyone with a gun" during any revolution. Most of it was just "stay out of the way of the liberators"
