They started saying this in 2018, two years later we got the George Floyd protests. The Democratic party had to work HARD to coopt the surge left. And now people have even less faith in the Democratic party, and our organizational capacity is better (still small, but better)
Maybe I’m just too young but I’ve never seen the word “gossip” as gendered? Men definitely gossip
Naomi Klein is a good middle point, try the shock doctrine or this changes everything
That sounds like something a fed would say
I don’t want to hear one more goddamn thing about Bolshevik party “groupthink” as an excuse for communism being bad. Clearly this is a feature of any political party involved in what it perceives to be existential struggle. The Republicans do it, the Democrats do it. A political party in panic will always do it
As it was written 
Call them opposition parties, since both the Republicans and Democrats are effectively always “in government” as a coalition, with one being the junior partner depending on election performance.
Tbf if you have any sort of financial comfort in burgerland you don’t WANT to have to see the truth. Bill Maher just gave them permission to look away
They’re famous for being ruthlessly oppressive. It wouldn’t work in the long run, obviously, but from the US’s perspective, it’s good because Israel isn’t the one getting the bad press
Isn’t the US, the UAE and Saudi Arabia openly planning to install a Palestinian emirate loyal to the west? That’s their idea of a “Palestinian state” and yeah no shit the left is opposed to that
There’s a concept of an argument similar to the French “clothespin” election a decade ago, where the left argued voters should put pinch their nose with a clothespin (figuratively) and vote for the conservative candidate in order to prevent a win by fascist Le Pen. Of course, the difference is that in the French system multiple parties have a (relatively) fair shake in the first round of voting, so applying this logic to the US just means you will be voting for Democrats, forever, no matter what else happens or how genocidal the Democrats get.
Agreed. No one has to vote, but refusing to vote has never been an effective strategy for dissent. Ideally, vote PSL. But honestly I don’t give a fuck of you hand it to your toddler with a crayon and have them pick. It’s the organizing that really counts
Trump wants to turn the colonial violence inward, Harris wants it more external to the core in order to placate the Metropole. From a purely selfish standpoint, it makes sense. But it shows a complete lack of solidarity and consciousness
The Shitlib International 
He’s a good resource for deep dives into modern fascist movements. Just don’t listen to anything he has to say about AES or current socialist/resistance movements
All of the most moral acts of Trump’s presidency were purely the result of him being a coward
In this scenario Congress will pick Trump because of the dumbfuck way this process works. And it will somehow feel even less legitimate than his 2016 “win” where he lost the popular vote
I’ve been thinking the exact same thing, almost down to the year
