The Stasi was the secret police of communist East Germany, not the Nazis.

Says the person who thinks third parties are viable, would you like me to name the dozen socialist parties that have failed?

Lmfao. You mean AOC who the DNC hates and has struggled for years to freeze out of the party? Seems like some small third party has you fooled.

This the Jimmy Dore that you think is a "lefty"?

Jesus, why are there so many crybullies on the right?

Probably because it's worked so great for their leader Trump. It's probably been around longer though. I bet conservative pundits in the 1950s sounded the exact same when whining about desegregation somehow hurting them.

Probably just paying them to stay on message about Ukraine and stop rambling about random culture war issues like alleged elementary school litter boxes.

The Democrats are going to give you ranked-choice voting so they can potentially lose your vote....

Yes. That's because the Democratic Party isn't some monolithic machiavellian organization.

The DSA has far more electeds in every level of the government, and they've managed to do it without spoiling presidential elections. It's easy, all you have to do is run through the Democratic Party primaries, they figured it out decades ago, curious that Jill Stein and the Greens somehow didn't.

He's probably been bitterly complaining about it and the campaign is running local ads to appease him.

This is exactly what the Lincoln Project thinks is happening, iirc they called the ad buys the campaign buying him a "safety blanket" to protect from the "mean" ads.

You know American politics isn't monolithic right? There's 50 different state governments all doing their own thing, that's why he's stuck on the ballot in some states and stuck off it in others. This isn't a symptom of a large scheme by the democrats.

than 50% of the US realizes there's still an embargo.

Oh trust me, enough of the Republican base still remembers it enough to screech any time there's any talk of ending it.

and spreads hasbara

including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival

Nice rape denial.

She's been the most pro-Palestinian senior official within the Biden administration since the beginning, so yes I do.

Shes not trying to end anything, did you not listen to her acceptance speech?

Did you not listen to her acceptance speech?

President Biden and I are working to end this war, such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination.

What policy is that she has yet to disclose one?

Here's the Party Platform which she, as a would be democratic president is likely to follow.

genocide of brown people around the world should be a red line for everybody.

Oh, you mean the one she's trying to end? The one Trump wants to "Finish".

Which still maker her center right.

Lol no, she and the party are center left, they would not be fighting for unions and universal healthcare otherwise.

I vote my conscience

So you're fine with Trump winning being on your conscience?

Yours is a protest vote against something.

What? Most people voting for her probably agree with at least half of her policy, they're not just voting against Trump.

Believe it or not, conservatives aren't lying 24/7, they actually believe the things they say. That goes for both Pro-Trump and Anti-Trump conservatives.

If you were actually engaging in good faith political analysis, you'd see Harris is significantly more left wing than McCain or Romney.

Have you listened to any of these Republicans who have endorsed her talk? They all think she's wayyyy too progressive for them during normal times, they're not endorsing Harris because she's somehow a conservative now, they're endorsing Harris because their party got taken over by fascists and they're rare spine-filled conservatives.

It also sounds like socialism.

I mean I agree it's a good idea of course. I just wanted to make the point that Bernie and AOC are, in fact, socialists. Way too many people from all sides of the political spectrum think "Oh he just wants to be like Denmark he's not really socialist" or "Bernie would be right wing in Europe" just because the media didn't really ever cover his cooperativization plan or talk of workplace democracy.
