435·4 months agothis is hella old but apparently still relevant
121·4 months agoyup the US seriously is not a civil country. i would know, i live here.
thats what the law is becoming. a way to enforce the will of the corporate state.
Notice the key word they use being “sue” in all of these articles. But please, go off on how uneducated we americans tend to be with legalese and government procedures. That’s a very class conscious thing to point out! Would help if democrats educated people about it but then they would be able to effectively navigate the elites world.

It also seems you didn’t/can’t read the article in your first link
What the one about the “horrors” of socialism? If there are any horrors of socialism, its that it allowed capitalism to exist. Everything the US condemns “socialist and communist” countries of is usually just a projection of its own bullshit.
You’re very good at ranting and criticizing democrats while ignoring 80% of what I respond with.
I’m not sure which parts i didn’t respond to, can you clarify? otherwise stop moving the goalposts
WOW, really? Well let’s just “both sides!!” it and discourage Biden voters so we can get Danald Tramp elected anyway
I encourage people to vote for whoever they want. If they can vote uncommitted on a primary to show they dont support him thats amazing and will not risk the election to trump as y’all like to keep screaming
i’m thinking zionist democrats and republicans would at least try to if he just abruptly stopped sending israel money and arms
Democrats support a social safety net. Republicans fight against EVERY form of social(ist) support with legislation and propaganda. Let’s list the states which denied accepting federal funds to expand Medicaid… hmm… and no, it has nothing at all to do with “disabled, queer, non-white, neurodivergent or an intersection of those things” as they specifically help those people. As noted, we are comparing them to fucking republicans. What you’re saying makes almost no sense at all. Are you confusing Democrats with Republicans?
If Democrats are so supporting of social(ist) programs, why did 106 of them vote YEA in a resolution denouncing socialism and deeming US as capitalist country first and foremost? https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2023/02/02/u-s-house-agrees-on-something-lawmakers-condemn-the-horrors-of-socialism/ https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023106?Page=2
If democrats care so much about marginialized peoples, why are they not donating to these peoples gofundmes? Or responding to their calls for mutual aid? Because it cuts into the neoliberal commodification and privitization of public assistance.
“This “neo-liberalization of social services” transformed charity into an industry where professionalism, maintaining tax-exempt status, and uplifting the needs of corporate donors and capitalist foundations fueled the work. Now, the nonprofit system encourages social movements to follow capitalist models, is monitored and influenced by state and corporate entities, and is generally focused on employing educated workers to the helping profession rather than mass activist organizing.11 Conversely, mutual aid organizers are attuned to the needs of the collective over any other stakeholder, and the lines between those offering and receiving assistance are blurred.”
Democrats are closer in class and ethics to republicans than they are to the working class. They are all friends and colleagues of each other, not sworn mortal enemies like they portray.
Its hard to differentiate Dems from Repubs since they both seem to want the working class to dissolve.
Tell me how Trump being elected will help the Palestinian cause.
Nobody thinks that.
Democrats gave a cushy border deal to Republicans knowing they’d refuse it over electoral concerns and guess what, they did. Again: either a Democrat or Republican will be elected for each seat available in the upcoming elections. How will a Republican taking office help migrants?
the link referring to the border issue is talking about biden concocting a trump era border policy in executive order style, so not about the deal he tried to make with repubs. the dems don’t want more people crossing the border either.
biden cant unilaterally solve the problems of the the US but he can stop weapons and money going to a genocide.
EDIT: adding citations as to why biden is not that labor friendly:

We can argue that neoliberals like Biden and the current establishment Democrats are hating of the QIA+ part of the LGBTQIA+ community, climate activists, climate refugees, direct action initiatives, grassroots movements, just to name whats off the top of my head. They also have a disdain for poor people but historically yes have made things more accessible, on paper. If you are disabled, queer, non-white, neurodivergent or an intersection of those things, you are second class and that is the lived experience. The way they talk and the way they spend and lobby shows that they also want to push an ableist, classist agenda that only allows certain diversity to a point before it becomes too inconvenient or uncomfortable.
Biden has supported israel since his days in congress. He said that if there was no Israel, the US would create one. Israel has been doing this since day one. 1948 Nakba. He shares the same values as israel. The values of fascism, colonialism, zionism. This is his legacy and we should not let him forget it. https://theconversation.com/biden-says-the-u-s-would-have-to-invent-an-israel-if-it-didnt-exist-why-210172
Kamala Harris told Guatamalans not to try and come to the US. We did a coup there once. The Biden admin now wants to be even tougher on the border than Republicans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954_Guatemalan_coup_d'état https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57387350 https://news.yahoo.com/biden-may-sign-trump-esque-220052566.html
yo all these people downvoting you is funny as fuck
like you put biden in your penis? just want to make sure i got that right. either way, i’ve already imagined it and now i have to take some psilocybin to get that out of my mind
All Biden has to do is pick up the phone, say “no more money, no more arms” and he gets everyones vote. People have been protesting this for a LONG time. Longer than since Oct 7th. They don’t listen, they have actively silenced and doxxed protestors and even college students. “From the river to the sea, palestine will be free” is not allowed on college campuses. And we are living under so-called democratic president.
So Rashida says vote uncommitted, on a fucking primary, and all of a sudden, lo and behold, we are listened to.
The idea is to get Biden to stop sending all of our money and weapons over there. Painting everyone calling on Biden for a ceasefire as a fool or worse, MAGA, is simply the blue brand of MAGA.
So you will vore him?
its the real numbers from the times and temps recorded. its not so much that its continous, just that those are the available data points
friend, i appreciate you and you are absolutely right. i’m not sure if you are aware of how much the US is tied to israel. i have been learning more and more everyday. one thing that chills me is that multiple states, both red and blue, including NY and TX, have stock in israel bonds in the hundreds of millions. they have tied it to the state employment pension funds. what do you think state workers would say if their pensions just vanished into thin air because israel tanked?
i don’t say this to discourage or police you but we need to have that in the periphery as we are fighting the good fight and arguing with these notions of binary choices and personal responsibility and guilt you should feel should trump win (although it wasn’t likely biden was going to win anyway, “nvm that” they will say). some people have their whole futures secured by the zionist project and some of them are everyday folk and may not even know what is propping up their privilege and security.
biden absolutely has the power to stop this. could he get fucking sued to fuck all because of it, i imagine so. but the pressure is on, and felt! he has said that airdropped aid will come, and that there needs to be immediate ceasefire. i haven’t read the word permanent yet but this means we know its working. we just need to crank up the heat a little more and make sure we drill this screw all the way into the stud.
i don’t have high hopes on the outlook and i think dune is a good reference here since timing and all. its like when paul can’t see beyond certain ridges of time in his visions. i’m not trying to say that I am psychic like that but i think collectively we all have this massive anxiety and its hard to project thought and planning into the future because there are so many bends and curves that we could take that we can’t predict. anyway, i appreciate your persistence here and i pray you stay safe.
when you say don’t vote for biden as a protest against his funding of genocide, which seems to be the most effective way to move him on it, you get called a trumper and that its your fault for fascism.
I’m waiting for someone to call russian trollbot
Govts and corpos will use bluetooth and wifi mac addresses to ID and track people. luckily more and more devices are shipped with wifi mac randomization.
there’s only two ways you are preventing carrier/google/apple signals coming out of a phone and giving yourself away:
-
its something like a pinephone that has no google/apple services running and you have a physical toggle to turn off bluetooth, wifi, data
-
a faraday bag
-
Jared Kushner is Trumps son in law yes.
