I don't think this will move the needle AOC way, calling him rapist however will only make MAGA close the ranks around him. So it may actually backfire. Lots of respect for AOC but I think that was not the moment in which such statement can have amplified effect
by using their terms/names you give them legitimacy. Do not fall for it. Less platform they have, less damage they can inflict. Remember their task is to "flood the zone" and adding MAGA to your vocabulary is helping them. "Misinformed Americans" or "Malicious Americans" or "Mindless Americans" are more appropriate terms
Incorrect. In certain areas (like mine) only grass grows very well and is very prolific chocking off any other species. Grazers make a lot more sense and a lot less impact. Including soil build-up for future crop raising.
incorrect assessment: unions will gladly collaborate with 3rd party corps if it benefits them. Also unions protect interests of their members, not entire humanity...
this only holds for industrial red meat. I love it when everything gets lumped together and presented as "evidence". Non-industrial, small scale farming actually can have reverse effect. But we don't talk about avoiding industrial products, because... why? 100mile diet that includes sustainably raised meat (white, red blue - whatever) from local farm will have minimal impact on environment. Shall we talk about avocados in Canada or Almonds? Study lacks nuance and produces flashy headings with no substance.
are you claiming that nation protesting the language or assumptions are also right-wing propaganda? In times of renewed russian aggression one has to be rather precise describing reality and qualify when terminology used is referring terminology from the past. Fact is that russia frequently leapfrogs ambiguous statements twisting them into supporting argument of their narratives.
Curious that, he walked from "settling" Russian invasion right into Iran conflict with exact same results - aggressors get emboldened, no peace in sight and POTUS47 "deeply frustrated"...
reality is not great. Opposing Russia means cutting it's raw exports (that compete with Canadian exports), and supplying weapons to the nation's armed forces. Palestine has no regular army and barely has any state, all due to how Israel governed there. So while Canada may condemn actions of either russia or israel helping Palestine is a much more complicated matter. Fact that israel physically destroys humanitarian aid makes all sort of help very challenging. Thus I'd refrain from calling it hypocritical. I'm fully against genocide in Gaza however it is hard to see direct line of involvement Canada may take there to help other then sending military which is understaffed right now and uses aged equipment... 🙁
Inflammatory statements towards AB will not change AB election outcomes. Plus labeling entire province well... not very intelligent. Fact that Nenshi turned out to be toothless and bland is why polls show what they do. Notley got AB NDP pretty far but failed to pivot back to party roots so we have NDP in name only but Liberal when it comes to policies and absolutely gutless under Nenshi so when asked people choose from available options and NDP has nothing to offer at the moment. I dislike Smith with all.my heart but to turn public opinion one has to do something. And nothing is happening.
In the past, yes he has shown some spine for action but in today's environment having him and Harris "invisible" until now projects a very weak position. The only Democrats that remained active and visible and "in your face" were AOC and Bernie. Rest of them seem to have evaporated. I'd love to be proved wrong. So, how many public gatherings did he address and outlined strategy for applying pressure on current Federal administration? How many times did he stand up and mobilized others to stand up to present onslaught of lawlessness streaming from DC? I get it, he's Mi governor, but he also aimed for VP chair so one would expect him to act at "above state" level.
Wouldn't be surprised when POTUS47 will empathetically declare crime situation in Minnesota as appalling, call Walz some derogatory names, mobilize national guard and marines "to help".
Tim Walz has strongly worded his disdain for strongly worded letters.
AOC and Bernie were pouring sweat and blood into anti-Oligarchy tour while Tim did exactly what? What did he lay out as a functional plan? More messaging? So more "strongly worded letters"? Situation calls for direct action.
coming from the guy who helped to pay the way into trumpism... yeah they should "toughen up" but it should've come already in his tenure.
