Yeah Obama ordered like 4,000 extrajudicial kills and few said anything. So don't expect Dem leadership to complain much about Trump.
Is Maduro a tyrant or are you a victim of US propaganda? Venezuela is under US economic & diplomatic siege yet cost of living is low, higher education & healthcare are free. One has to wonder how well Venezuela would do if the US wasn't actively trying to destroy it.
11th hour lukewarm endorsement emphasizing his core disagreements.
US wants Russian oil just like it wants Venezuelan oil just like it wants Iranian oil. In case people haven't caught on to what's really causing all these wars.
That's just those killed directly through bombing & other weapons. Far more people have died from lack of medical care, food, clean water, etc. People who need insulin, heart meds, cancer treatment are all dying as a result of Israel's genocide.
And that's from the supposed "left-wing" party. We are all doomed.
And yet Dems are somehow polling even lower than Trump. Time for a change in leadership perhaps?
There's that Blue Maga charm. Instead of pressuring your party to respond to voters, you insult voters for not supporting your party. I wonder why you keep losing?
Like the 8 million who voted for Obama & then suddenly became racist & switched to Trump? "We're not quite as bad as Trump" is obviously not working as a campaign slogan. They won't even support Mamdani who actually IS popular. "Vote blue no matter who" apparently does not apply to progressives.
Dems failed to earn the votes. Why? Cuz Biden cancelled all the COVID economic supports that were so effective at lifting so many out of poverty & cuz Dems were committing atrocities in Gaza. It's like they were trying to lose. Plus Obama had already turned 8 million Dem voters into Trump voters.
Dems are currently polling lower than Trump. They've somehow made themselves less electable than a fascist moron. People want a Mamdani-type movement, not a party that follows the GOP to the right. Blaming the electorate is a cop out.
Trump is in power because Dems refuse to listen to their own base.
The mainstream debate in the US is between the far-right and the fascists.
You sound like a politician
"Attracting capital" is a nice way of saying tax cuts and incentives for the rich, austerity for the people. Never judge a politician by their words but by their actions.
Being a world banker is not a plus. It just means he's part of the system designed to transfer wealth from poor to rich.
In what form will they remain? Underfunded and degraded. It's all part of the push to privatization.
Austerity for the people so the rich can get their tax cuts and "incentives." He's working hard to get the Conservatives elected next time.
Yet he's polling above Democratic party. Somehow Dems have made themselves more unelectable than Trump... except Mamdani.
He was a genocider though. That kinda overshadows the rest.
Did anybody really believe he was serious about the climate? He is one of "them." He's always been one of "them."
The idea that this could fund a war is so silly. People are grasping at anything.
Yeah, the best way to prevent fascism is to give people such great lives that fascism can never get a foothold. Dems know this but choose to ignore it. They are just as responsible for Trump as GOP.
It's true though. Ukraine is being destroyed. Even WWIII would see Ukraine destroyed (along with the rest of the world). Time to negotiate an end to the madness. I would say this even if Biden were still in charge.
The vast majority are bloodthirsty and savage in Israel. That's what comes from brutally occupying & genociding another people. It does something to the brain.
