Screaming "wtf" and waiting for a spontaneous uprising is going to discourage you. There won't be a spontaneous uprising. That's just not where the people are at.
Organize for the long term. Build community. Build resilience. Have a strategy for whatever corner of this thing you're working on.
keekeehughes_205 3h Unpopular opinion: Modern dating is failing because women are choosing instead of being chosen.
Oh no these dudes are upset because they have to be likeable.
Based on how our elections have been going the last few decades I just dont think we in the U.S. have a strong position to talk about stuff like the election integrity of other countries.
Unless it's a Democrat admin doing the supplying, right?
Got a 12 hour suspension from twitter for saying "Death to all imperialists."
Perhaps I was unclear; Imperialist lives do not matter.
Where did i change subjects? You asked me who at the DNC I was talking about and I told you: Ken Martin.
What facts did you ask for which i did not give?
I dont even know what point you're trying to make.
Its not my fault you cant see my original post on the subject. And even in that post, I talk about how the central issue is the influence of the rich.
You should take your own advice. By your screen cap, you do not have all the facts.
My original argument was literally that the DNC serves the donors. Where do you believe I changed topics?
Fascists always assume they'll never be the victim of the system they helped create.
It's not my fault you can't be bothered to follow the conversation.
My argument has always been that the DNC puts donors wants first. That minorities are an ancillary concern for the party at best.
Ken Martin is not a minority. So why do you keep banging on about that?
So your argument is that you have to give Democrats super majorities forever, or there's nothing they can do?
Do you understand what a mark you sound like right now?
And this isn't an apology for anything. He never even mentions the crime bill directly.
That apology doesn't say what you think it does. He talks about "working with segregationists" but doesn't mention his own segregationist views. He in fact implies he opposed them on the issue of segregation.
Might want to read your sources first.
Andrew Cuomo sexually abused more than a dozen women. If that alone is not enough to disqualify him from ever again holding elected office—if the conversation even continues past that—the speaker (outlet) is saying it's OK to sexually abuse women.
Okay. Demonstrate Joe Biden's change for me. Has he ever even renounced his views as Wallace did?
Relying on the black vote to win elections doesn't qualify.
Not sure where you think I said anything positive about the GOP.
I don't expect perfection. I expect consistency. And neither Democrats, nor their diehard voters, have any.
JFC... And liberals wonder why it's impossible to take you all seriously. This argument is circular.
Who do you believe is going to revise those laws? The politicians who take money from billionaires and then serve their interests? Come on.
So easy you refuse to do so? Why? Why waste both our times *not* answering the question if you could in a post or two?
Can you rephrase that question so it makes sense in the context of this conversation?
I'm highlighting that the DNC is captured by capital. Since my argument is that the DNC pays lip service to minorities for votes, without actually representing their interests in office.
These are methodology questions, not end goal questions.
Why didn't you answer my questions?
I don't believe you can take over the party. Which is why I'm asking you to explain how you're going to do it.
I didn't say it's inevitable. But surely you have some way to prevent it?
Let's start with the guy who talked about "good billionaires" immediately after he was given the chair position.
Genuine question: How do you plan to take over the party when capitalists control the top positions?
How do you ensure these people you're putting in don't end up captured by capital like establishment Democrats?
The party itself, the movers and shakers who actually run the show and are not elected by anyone, is captured by capital. Which means the entire structure is.
I'm not talking about voters. I'm talking about the party. You need to learn to make the distinction.
Warren and Sanders are both sellouts.
Anyone on the actual left has no problem saying this.
Biden was literally a segregationist. You know that, right? Why would you back someone who historically has actively opposed your liberation from white supremacist systems?
It's not about how many votes billionaires get. It's about the favors the politicians promise in return.
The DNC doesn't care about minorities, except in so far as they can be exploited for votes by simple lip service.
Is it though? Seems like a waste of time trying to change a party captured by capital.
I think we're better served by waking folks up to the fact that the political class doesn't work for us.
But you do you.
lol okay...
