It would be terrible if the email (expose@charliesmurderers.com) associated with this doxxing site were to be flooded with spam and false reports. Nobody here would be unethical enough to automate something like that, right?

I believe this is the harshest criticism that any sitting US president had made of israel since Clinton’s private

who’s the fucking superpower here

I don’t think we really disagree given what you said about shortsightedness, but I feel like ranting.

The focus on corporate lobbyist and billionaire donations is the cancer that will kill the country. Fundraising through grassroots outreach and organization can be much more effective than spending billions in blood money on TV ads and landline phonecalls, but it requires a platform that taps into the zeitgeist and galvanizes the public to act. In our current moment that means earnestly fighting for social programs, civil rights, and democratic governance - all of which conflicts with the interests of the ruling class.

The DNC is too far gone at this point. They’ve ignored the popular will for so long and embraced corporatism so nakedly that they enabled fascism by granting its veneer of populism more luster.

They squandered any good will they could have gained from wholeheartedly supporting popular policies and any trust they could have engendered with a consistently progressive track record. They lost any respect they could have earned from fighting tooth and nail against oppression, and any momentum they could have raised within the institution from fostering a new generation of energetic idealists. Take all that away and what you’re left with is a staid orthodoxy that is begrudged, distrusted, spineless, and out of touch.

The only thing they have to fall back on at this point is ‘not being as bad as overt fascists’ and ‘being reasonably complement stewards of an economy designed to funnel money to the wealthy’. We’ve seen that this is not a good strategy for winning elections, but does a hell of a job at driving voter apathy, powerlessness, and resentment.

Hey that’s not fair, it’s also a dogwhistle for homophobia. They’re butthurt about gay rights too lol

That’s triangulation and it’s been the basis of the DNC since Clinton’s presidency

Does anyone else remember the willie horton case and the attack ads that h.w. ran against Dukakis?

Or when bush declared war under false pretenses. Or when reagan ratfucked Carter out of an end to the Iranian hostage crisis. Or when MLK Jr. Was assassinated. Or countless other examples of rightwing terrorism. “Decorum” has only ever been a means to silence progressive voices.

It’s disgusting. There needs to be legal recognition of all that is at stake for patients and their families. The denial of necessary care is structural violence and should be treated as such by everyone.
