This community is a mirror of the AltMedia subreddit at https://old.reddit.com/r/AltMedia.
Until January 2nd, 2025 the 'WorldNews` subreddit, with 40 million users automatically subscribed, had an 'Israel at War' livethread constantly at the top.
This community was founded to dissent from this forced perspective, and present the Palestinian and anti-establishment position in general.
This community is 'AltMedia' in the Mearsheimer and Walt sense. Not the Richard Spencer sense.

Okay, America. Your democracy is now undeniably dead. What's the plan?
Mamdani is the candidate on the ballot and he's got overwhelming support from the democrats in the NY state congress, pretty shit example to use for the claim "your democracy is undeniably dead".
The plan is what its always been: vote for the DNC candidate.
While they fuck you and the country by doing the bare minimum to govern and all the while sucking all the money they and their overlords can.
Under the Biden administration millions of people gained healthcare coverage and the IRS was actively auditing the rich to great success. Imagine what they could do if they had a senate with more than 50 DNC for the first time in over a decade.
So everything was hunky dory and the population just don't know what's good for them. They should just be beholden to what DNC tell them.
I feel like it's been days if not weeks since somebody brought up an actually policy stance or vote, but no instead it's just "oh but they're so corrupt, they're the establishment, they're just like Republicans" bla bla bla.
Policy stance like breaking railroad strike by passing the law which all of the unions rejected.
Policy stance like doing nothing while abortion rights are challenged and eventually overturned.
Policy stance like loyalty to corporates over people's needs. Like promoting dieing democrat over progressive candidates.
Should I go on.
Those Railroad Unions got all of their demands met at a later date thanks to pressure from the Biden Admin.
Republicans stacked the SCOTUS, not Democrats. Unless you want to blame Ruth for dying at an inopportune moment.
??? That feels like a two parter which is part aforementioned baseless claims and part non-English ???
Yes, thank you for finally having a proper discussion.
Some Railroad unions got 7 days sick leave from 0 days in an year. Whereas the law passed only had a single sick leave.
While it is true SCOTUS overturned their own ruling, but inspite of calls for the government to enshrined the ruling as a law, successive Democratic government did everything possible to keep the status quo.
I will give specific case where AOC was sidelined from becoming leading Democrat in oversight committee while promoting dieing Gerry Connolly. This is not an outlier but an systemic rot.
I haven't even mentioned threatening to snipe protestors, for availing their first amendment right against war in Gaza.
Giving every weapons demanded by Bibi while doing a drama of threatening Netanyahu. Not saying Trump is better but at least we know who the villain is rather than having to dig through the facade of resistance Democrats were pushing.
"Some" railroad workers? It went from 5% of class 1 freight rail workers to 90% in a few months, all of the major rail unions were covered.
Enshrining the ruling in law would require enough votes to overcome filibuster, the DNC had at most 58 for only 72 days and used that time to pass the Medicaid Expansions we know today as the ACA / Obamacare.
Conolly won a vote of 131-84 for a seat on the house oversight committee. If he really is dying then wait it out, kind of inconsequential tbh.
The DNC have never and will never mobilize snipers against protestors. Just because universities got snipers from private security or local PDs or whatever doesn't mean the DNC had any part of it.
Biden actually withheld shipments of weapons because of Bibi's reckless behavior, and Trump bragged bout delivering them.
