Blatant first amendment violations and crickets from those saying we need to protect democracy.

VBNMW, right?

The first 2 months of US supplied bombs bombing Gaza had the same environmental impact as burning 150k tons of coal.

They are not too concerned about climate change seeing the bombs and weapons they are providing Israel and Ukraine is leaving an ecological disaster in its wake. The first 2 months of bombing Gaza was the equivalent of burning 150k tons of coal.

We were told that would only happen if trump got reelected in 2020.

AOC is such a fucking fraud. Sheepdogs like her are more dangerous than far right wing republicans. People know where they stand with the right wing and can steer clear of the danger, foxes that hide among us posing as an ally will strike when our defenses are down and betray us.

The state feels threatened by their presence. They know the number of disenfranchised voters that don't trust them or feel they have no representation in government has skyrocketed and the only way for them to stay in power is to subvert the electoral process.

It's not like your vote matters now. Money has all the power in this country, voters have none. When 1 billionaire has more political influence than entire states you have no power. You've surrendered your power to the donor class.

That's the thing, they never do. They have been pushing the lesser evil splitting the vote bullshit for over 150 years. The only people that benefits is the wealthy

Especially when their donors are the same donors to the GOP

Your solution to defeating the duopoly is continuing giving them power and participating in it?

China has one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world. Higher than the US, many counties have higher life expectancy that the US

I practice what I preach with the marginalized

Rings true in practice

The US propaganda tell you that?

Politics is

Same capitalists trying the same failed tactics of voter suppression.

Every one of his perspectives of capitalism and it's bourgeoisie governments still rings true.

Even where there is no prospect of achieving their election the workers must put up their own candidates to preserve their independence, to gauge their own strength and to bring their revolutionary position and party standpoint to public attention. They must not be led astray by the empty phrases of the democrats, who will maintain that the workers’ candidates will split the democratic party and offer the forces of reaction the chance of victory. All such talk means, in the final analysis, that the proletariat is to be swindled. The progress which the proletarian party will make by operating independently in this way is infinitely more important than the disadvantages resulting from the presence of a few reactionaries in the representative body. If the forces of democracy take decisive, terroristic action against the reaction from the very beginning, the reactionary influence in the election will already have been destroyed
