Jeez, I compliment your improvement and you're still tripping. I get that your ruling is arbitrary. Substack, blog. Wordpress.com, not blog. You're the boss.

Jihad just means struggle. Jihad on my dirty dishes, jihad against zionists, jihad against drugs etc. They aren't calling for a new caliphate. Stop with the white genocide fear mongering. You sound like a Rhodesian.

The take I’ve been seeing more lately is that many on the left don’t internally support genocide, they’re just afraid of AIPAC money taking away their ability to do any good.

This is true but I don't know how much. There's some democrats explicitly and correctly calling out AIPAC as being an a far right PAC. Taking money from AIPAC needs to be seen as treacherous as taking money from NRA or the Heritage foundation.

But at the ballot box come election day, I don’t care if the dem wants to sacrifice puppies on weekends

Every time a democrat talks like this they lose votes. "Yeah my candidate supports genocide, but-" stop you've just smeared your own candidate. If you don't have anything nice about your candidate then keep your mouth shut.

Any normal american will see the rest of your comment and think they're better off investing in bullets and silver than worrying about the election. You're basically doing voter surppression.

Don’t like that rule? Tough titty said the kitty when the milk ran dry. Go make your own community and enjoy the flood of blogspam.

Lol classico power tripping.

Do legitimate news sources have accounts there? Absolutely. We don’t allow them either.

Glad you at least acknowledge that now.

The problem is that there are plenty of voters who hate the pony!

Yeah those are the centrist republicans who voted Trump anyways. Again, empirically proven failure.

When the Dems put Harris in, it was a concession to the progressives. They got a Black woman from a state with a long Left tradition.

Honestly wtf are you thinking here? She wasn't left wing at all and being black or californian doesn't magically make her progressive. You're literally citing a fake sterotype as a subsititue for real policy.

Obama had a super majority in both Houses and the ACA barely squeaked through.

HE GOT THAT SUPERMAJORITY BY RUNNING ON HEALTH CARE REFORM!

We got a supermajority by promising the pony! "Hope and Change". Sell the fucking pony again. Promise a different pony when you fail to deliver! Jesus Christ you just insist on keeping your head in the sand. You're just insistent on laying down and dying.

Sounds like a good opportunity to draw some square kufic.

You're talking about politicians, they're talking about voter opinion. Why would you think those numbers would be correlated?

Electoral reform isn't something to base your campaign on but it is something that every upstart campaign will strategically want to do.

It has to do with how political parties in the US are regulated through the election commissions. Voters register with political parties through the commission not the party itself. The commission is bipartisan to prevent a party from cheating its own voters. For example, the democratic party couldn't just kick Bernie off the primary ballot despite him being independent his whole life.

At the same time this bipartisan election commission determines what other parties are allowed to have ballot line access and have little interest in breaking the doupoly.

The flip side to this is any Leninist pushing for a workers party has to come to terms with the fact that their workers party legally can't practice Democratic Centralism if they want to have a ballot line party.

Buddy the CSA wasn't bad because they fired on Fort Sumner. They were bad because they were slavers. If the Union shot first they'd still be in the right. Grow a moral backbone. Ansarallah did not starve Yemen. The Saudis and the Americans did.

The KSA is to blame because they bombed civilian infrastructure and Yemeni water supply. Thats what im accusing them of and thats what they chose to do. Ansarallah firing the first shots doesn't justify every war crime the Saudis do. Thats genocidal Zionist logic.

When the fuck did I mention Bernie? You're not understanding the point I'm making. I'm not saying "AOC 2028, Medicare 4 All". I'm saying promise them the fucking pony if you want to save democracy. Go ahead and run Gavin Newsom! But he better be promising something like student debt relief or raising the minimum wage if he wants to win. He doesn't even have to do it!

But no we'll never do the obvious tried and true tactic because even the implication that Bernie might have been even partially right is disloyalty to the party.

But for love of all that is holy please stop think "just not Trump" is an electable candidate. It may be for democratic party loyalists but not for the general electorate.

The civil war started with the Arab spring the ousting of the president and the installation of a Saudi puppet against the wishes of the original protestors. Ansarallah formed as a response to that and even got the support of the original president. They have shown more interest in the well being of Yemeni people than Saudi Arabia and their genocidal campaign against the people of Yemen. Low bar for sure but easily cleared.

The US has backed KSA to the hilt in the conflict just as they have with Israel in Gaza. In a way even more so because the Saudi's are too fucking stupid to even select their own targets or refuel their jets. We've been basically holding their hands the entire way and they still lost.

Like Jesus Christ buddy, I'm an american. If I hadn't read up on this topic before I'd be giving you the bog standard jingoism that radiates this country.

We armed the Saudis and provided targeting for them to destroy Yemeni water supplies and other civilian infrastructure. We then also blockaded and starved the people of Yemen which led to +300k dead.

I also don't trust the accusation that the Ansarallah deliberately starved their own people when it comes from the nation causing the food shortage in the first place. Its far more likely that they seized aide to distribute themselves to maintain loyalty. Not a moral practice but I've only ever said that we are worse.

Kill the jingoist in your head.

We bombed civilian water supplies and infrastructure which led to over 300K dead. Far worse than the official figures from Gaza. No, we do not have the moral high ground to criticize the houthis. We are in fact more amoral and bloodthirsty than them. 👊🇺🇸🔥

The absolute lack of self awareness.

What an insane reversal of historical reality: Both Obama and Biden ran on promising progressive economic reform and won. They dissappointed when it came time to deliver but they still won.

Clinton and Harris explicitly didn't promise anything other than being "not Trump" and ate colossal shit on live TV.

So where are you getting this idea that progressive economic reform is not electable? Is it because it fails in democratic primaries? Is it because the party itself tries to stifle it?
