The ethnic Russians whose oppression Putin used in his justification for invading Ukraine were not Russian citizens, they were Ukrainian citizens whose families had lived in those areas for generations. They weren’t settlers sent to provoke a response, they were legitimate residents of those areas.
Their owners told them to be happy about this, so they are.
Keep telling yourself that. Moral abstainers make up an unbelievably small percentage of Dem voters. Event if everyone who voted third party or abstained because of genocide support had actually voted for Kamala, she still would have lost.
No, I blame all of you who were content to let the Dems force a status quo candidate on us while quashing progressive movements. If y’all actually had some balls and held your politicians to account, maybe you could have shifted your candidate’s position on genocide or made space for an actual progressive.
Instead, you were all focused on your fears of Daddy coming home and beating everyone with his belt.
So now we get the worst of both worlds. Trump is thrashing American, and there is no effective opposition, because you all voted for no effective opposition.
So, the system working as intended then.
Given the widespread support for the Bolivaran revolution in Venezuela, MAGA is going to have a hard time gaining full control.
Both sides primarily serve rich people at the expense of working people, and both sides support genocide abroad, but the Dems don’t want to kill gay people, so they are totally different.
Genocide is a good reason not to vote for someone. 🤷🏼♂️
Yep, no worries, it was understandable 😂
We’ve never had a government that put the needs of the people ahead of the wants of the rich. The closest we had was FDR, and even he only pushed the New Deal to stop us from demanding an even better deal.
My bad, I got confused on who I was responding too, I actually agree with you.
My bad, I was actually responding to the wrong thread, I agree with you.

At this point they are openly collaborating. Opposition, my ass.
Desperately.
The reality is that never in the entire history of capitalism has there been a free market, and in fact there is nothing capitalists fear more than a truly free market.
The most successful companies inevitably become monopolies, which gives them near total control of the market, and the capitalist at the top trembles at the thought of competition arising that may unseat him. So he bribes a politician to make laws that favor him and allow him to find new ways to control the world and maintain his status. Eventually, inevitably, as is the case now, the state and the capital class become indistinguishable.
The free market is a myth, and I personally would rather have an economy that is planned for the good of the common person than the rich motherfuckers who enslave us.
Further proving the point that there are no progressive Dems.
You’re sadly right, AOC showed her true colors when she voted to rearm Israel’s Iron Dome. Bernie has also expressed support for defending Israel.
It’s capitalists in general, not just billionaires.
Just call it what it is — capitalism.
California would be better off without the billionaires.
