“Let this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair” - Mariame Kaba
A better world is possible for us all. Let’s build it together.
This is it. Israel is too profitable for them to detox from. They get to test out sick new tech to spy on and abuse their citizens, they get to put pressure on nations in the surrounding area with resources they want, and just the sheer amount of money selling weapons in general.
It’s one of the most lucrative grifting exercises the western nations have ever designed.
We can make on hell on earth happen for them with enough support. Inshallah.
Letting the government shut down is literally the only point of leverage the Dems have. This is them actually doing something for the first time in almost a year of Trump 2.0.
The alternative is just letting all the cuts the want to make in this budget go through uncontested in a complicit abdication to the fascist, patently betraying their constituency (even more than they already largely have).
Pete Hegseth is a rapist. It’s not relevant to the story but I like repeating it.
Are you pro fascist? lol
Taking their trigger fingers is probably the nicest thing I’d do
And being able to opt in just with a container label is super convenient
You are missing my point entirely. I’m addressing your point - it’s just dumb. No party is owed voters - they must work to do things to get those voters to support them. The Republicans do this all the time. The Dems do not. That’s it. If they want people to vote for them, they need to have a compelling platform that actually gets people in their base excited - like how the Republicans do.
Republicans see their base being transphobic and they throw them a bone on that. They see them hating immigrants and they throw them a bone on that. It serves their interests sure, but it also keeps their base in line and willing to support them on the more heinous things that just hurt them in the long run.
By contrast the Dems see their base wanting things like healthcare or to stop funding genocide and what do they do? They ignore it and double down on the Republican talking points to try and pull some of their voters away rather than just run on the policy that would make them extremely popular and a shoe in to win elections.
Do you see what I am saying yet?
The Republicans feed their base with wins regularly. Sure they don’t care about the hypocrisy or whatever as well, but it’s also that they are actually doing things for them. Now these things don’t really change their lives but it sure makes them feel good.
When do the Dems do this?
Brother you keep saying you aren’t these things but we can read what you’re writing…
How do you think the Republicans became so powerful in this country?
By being nice and letting their ideological enemies flourish?
No - they take advantage of the vulnerabilities.
Well the Republicans are currently doing whatever they want because the Democratic party has been so utterly worthless for so long.
They can’t fight against fascism in an election and barrel to the right. They can’t fight fascism when they’ve lost and the fascists are in power.
The Dems deserve every ounce of vitriol they are getting right now they are a fundamentally useless organization that only serves as the slightly less mean wing of conservative thought in the US.
Edit: Also yes you are absolutely advocating for the moderate/centrist liberal approach here.

Ah the enlightened centrist take that has been leading to loss after loss in campaigns. It’s almost like no one actually likes people who fence sit and stand for nothing.
Oh don’t you worry I’m just waiting for a good quality epub to drop. Ain’t no way I’m giving Holocaust Harris my money.
Locally here there are constantly pro Palestine displays or protests. I attend what I can when I can but the efforts have been split a lot with other mutual aid and direct action campaigns to push back on ICE raids and trans rights infringements and other stuff like that. At least this is how things have shifted in recent month in organizations I’m in.
Also consider the US media is all complicit in this genocide and suppress the ever loving shit out of any Palestine mobilization when they can. They have to lest the people who still somehow haven’t gotten out in the streets over this finally wake up seeing it on their screen all the time.
Good luck Google. I’m already pissed that Microsoft is trying to spy on me on my computer - you think I’m gonna let you do that too now?
Man I wish they would. They love being complicit too much it seems.
She’s making herself look bad all on her own lol. The media is just giving her the rope to hang herself with.
The UK fascists gotta get their licks in too it seems. After all they probably think she’s a terrorist or something for daring to have the courage to speak out.
