He can't go any further right, so he can't be pushed right. Ergo, he can only be pushed left. Libs owned us yet again oooaaaaaaauhhh

You are a liberal. Oh, sorry you’re a Bernie-supporting leftist who wants the US to be like Sweden without understanding at all why they aren’t or why Sweden is.

I don't even understand that last sentence. Bernie was the best choice in that race. It's not like Warren was going to usher in a Communist Eutopia.

Here's what you don't get. If you want power you need public support. You can't bypass public opinion and fix the system. That's what Republicans tried to do with Abortion. They went after the power by any means necessary, driving public opinion away from them in the process. They got what they wanted and have been fucked in every election since.

I doubt that your approach will ever achieve anything but, if you do, you wont be able to sustain it. That's exactly why radical communist revolutions have such an abysmal track record.

Because the United imperialist nations can’t help but commit genocide at the slightest sign of resistance?

We don't want power, we want justice, an end to genocide...

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 1 points 8 months ago

I assumed you understood that you need power to get that.

[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 27 points 8 months ago

And this is what your party does with power.

Genocide supporter

And those in power (the democrats) have shown that they will not use it to end genocide, so there is no reason to lend them a hand.

some-controversy higher standard of living, longer life expectancy, a viable space exploration programme, thousands of miles of high speed rail, consequences for corrupt businessmen.
che-laugh not gonna waste my time writing for Cuba or all the other nations, because we both know how this goes: I list a bunch of countries that have had armed rebellions and jow they're doing better than the US, your eyes skip over the text and you say something about authoritarianism or whataboutisin.
