Palestinians knew who they were when they elected them.

We have a lot of nightmare scenarios in the future: Trump wins, Trump loses and we get insurrection part II, Biden wins and we don’t take the house and keep the Senate, and we have at least 2 more years of gridlock while our lives continue to get shittier, etc etc.

The true tragedy is that there isn’t even a good outcome in the mix. Biden wins and Democrats take Congress. Fine, will they fix the courts? Fix student loans? Will they even try for universal healthcare? Universal Basic Income? Anything even close to meeting the moment?

So depressing.

Anyway, vote Biden so at least we don’t wind up in a fascist dictatorship.

Israel’s right-wing government is becoming anti-democratic, and their position on settlements is antagonistic.

But Hamas is pro-genocide, happily murders Jewish children, and use their own children as meat shields.

It bothers me that people equate these two.

They aren’t the same.

Well, the DNC absolutely kneecapped Bernie when he was running against Hillary. I mean, we literally have the emails to prove it.

Against Biden, the issue wasn’t the DNC as much as it was Elizabeth Warren refusing to consolidate the liberals behind Bernie as the moderates consolidated behind Biden. The final nail in the coffin was the prominent black leader who thew his support to Biden and handed him a critical victory in one of the southern states. This always annoyed me deeply, because Bernie was literally out there getting arrested to fight for their civil rights while Biden was on the wrong side of the busing civil rights issue.

Oh well. At least Bernie dragged Biden much farther left than he would have been.

The solution is so simple. Vote overwhelming for progressive, and get rid of the centrists and Republicans.

We’d have free, universal healthcare within a couple of years.

You’re not missing anything. This is a politically stupid move.

McCarthy: “hard-right Republicans want to burn the whole place down!”

Moderate Democrats: “so you’ll work with us instead, to pass legislation that keeps the lights on, and addresses some of the problems we both agree exist?”

McCarthy: “No. Fuck you. Die in a fire.”

AOC pulls the party to the left with her rhetoric, and then lends her support to strengthen the party as a whole.

In this political environment, when the opposition is literally a fascist cult, it’s great that she’s being a team player.

Also when she eventually does run for president, she won’t have alienated the party.

She has handled it perfectly.

No… Don’t you see?

No matter how centrist or moderate democratic candidate is, the Republicans call them communist, socialist pedophiles.

They’ve painted themselves into a corner. We could nominate a full-on Marxist flag-burner, and they would have nothing left to say about them that they didn’t already say about Obama and Biden.

I can’t wait for her to be president!

They aren’t pro-birth. If they were pro-birth they would be for universal healthcare coverage of birth expenses.

They are pro-controlling women’s bodies.

Good!

Anti-nuclear is like anti-GMO and anti-vax: pure ignorance, and fear of that which they don’t understand.

Nuclear power is the ONLY form of clean energy that can be scaled up in time to save us from the worst of climate change.

We’ve had the cure for climate change all along, but fear that we’d do another Chernobyl has scared us away from it.

I will never, ever understand how the entire Republican party lined up behind this guy.

Before Trump was elected, they were all vocal about how unfit he was. Too stupid. Too rude.

Then he got the nomination, and they all bent the knee, and became so loyal to him that they protected him from facing the consequences of his insurrection, even when he put their lives in danger.
