Yeah honestly it sounds like a government program I'd support if it was proposed by someone like Barack Obama. So 🤷. I hope it's successful and that they look at introducing more government-led programs and initiatives for people in need (I'm not holding my breath)

They won't because they don't care

Both parties have been trash since 2002. Republicans are just honest about being trash.

Better to make workers parties at local and state levels and try to get a foothold in the system. Force the Democrats to move left or get outta the way.

OK so then who should be running primaries?

So you agree with me: voting accomplishes nothing

I voted for Dems to defund the war in 06. They didn't. I voted for Obama to bring troops home, close Guantanamo, and give us a public option in 08. He didn't. So what's the point of voting for the the winner???

Liberals have long fantasized about Jon Stewart running for president (I was one of them once). I've always said that that Trump is the other side of that coin-- a plaintalking TV personality with no real connections in Washington. Stewart is too smart to want the job

It's clear to me that Democrats are just there to collect their donor cash. It's easier to raise money from a defensive position because they can amp up the fearmongering while also never having to fight for a policy their base wants. It's brilliant from a game-theory perspective but it screws all of us pretty hard

I don't have a solution aside from "get money out of politics", which requires more drastic solutions like general strikes or political violence (one may cause the other).

I tell you what-- I sure wish that Crooks guy succeeded in Pennsylvania. Would have cut through some bullshit and introduced uncertainty to a system that needs shaking up

I'm here for it!

Turnout was pretty low. Democratic voters stayed home. Wonder why?

I said exactly those things and got downvoted to oblivion here

Democrats only exist to be a paper opposition to fascism. They are fine with it because they think they'll be insulated

Yes see the Gaza situation. Appeasement is the Biden policy there

That's a removed take. If there's evidence of crimes then you go after them...

Merrick Garland and Joe Biden let him

Oh wow mask came off

Eh, I didn't bother voting either. No support for genocide

Not every party has the money or resources to run a primary

This take is dumb...

I'm all for finding these people where they live but she went there alone and seems to have had a dumb plan. She didn't think she may confronted or possibly assaulted? And hey, the guy may have been within his rights

I hope more people show up next time, with a better plan
