After LBJ dropped out of the race in ‘68 and then Bobby kennedy was assassinated after winning the California primary the Democratic party has consistently shifted right every single election cycle. So much so that this last election they touted endorsements from neo con war mongering dynasty families like the bushes and Cheneys.

The DNC are funded by the same exact big money interests as the Rnc. They work to ensure that no candidate who aims to move the party even a millimeter to the left or give anything resembling economic democracy a platform, will be nominated. Neo liberal western democracy intentionally aims to exclude economically democratic policies. And this makes it a defacto class dictatorship. We will never vote our way out of this, we have had 57 years of the ratchet effect and the type of change we need kow is revolutionary. But too many voters still believe propaganda coming from astro turfed corporate sources and think if they just get out and vote things will be better next time. It’s called “ballot box socialism” and it will never happen because those with the real power, the capital, will never allow it to happen unless they are motivated through violence which is the only means by which any leftward progress has ever been made. We can hold hands and sing cumbaya all we want but we will still be barraged with tear gas and rubber bullets.

Everything in our political system is blatantly corrupted by money. The study princeton did a while back showed that the amount of influence one has on any piece of legislation is directly related to how much wealth you have with regular working class people having a statistically irrelevant near zero influence on any policy regardless of how popular or unpopular it may be.

It is extremely naive to believe that a group of sociopaths who believe as though their wealth grants them divine provenance to manipulate society as they see fit with total impunity would for some reason see our election system as too sacred to exert the same influence upon.

In Germany the supreme court decided that electronic voting is unconstitutional because it is impossible to differentiate between legitimate results and fraudulent ones for anyone who isnt a cybersecurity/ IT expert and that is the reality, people with money are willing to do anything to manipulate whatever benefits them and do not give a shit about anything we believe they should.

I forget the name of this cartoon, what is it? I got a kick out of it when I heard about it a few years ago

Omfg most musical thester people can barely play anything with 16th notes past 120bpm this will not end well lol

So support for Palestinians is only ok if you don't support the one thing Palestinians could actually do to stop the senseless slaughter of more Palestinians- armed revolutionary action?

So basically one can only wave a flag and cheer against the slaughter of Palestinians by Israel while vilifying the group that Israel deems it’s enemy for checks notes dealing back the same damage dealt to Palestinians for over a century now since Zionist terrorist cells who would become the Israeli military intelligence apparatus and political elite, waged campaigns of massacres, bombings and assassinations all across British mandatory Palestine forcing the British to leave their occupation and the un to split the territory 55/45 in zionists favor. So essentially we are denied to cheer on reciprocal retribution by a population clearly wronged through decades of subjugation, brutal Oppression and genocide because of the sensibilities of colonial capitalist imperialism?

Got it

Bernie was clearly ahead until the DNC gave all the other candidates marching orders to drop out and endorse a senile old man in severe cognitive decline to prevent any movement to the left that would threaten the legalized bribery the democratic party grows fat on.we could have had FDR 2.0 instead we got reagan and nixon’s bastard love child a second time because biden was such a sad excuse of an incoherent puppet he made jimmy carter look good and even as though a second carter administration would have been preferable.

Good watch, thanks for that. Unfortunately neoliberalism has spread a metastasizing wave of anti intellectual virtue signaling conservatism cosplaying as progressivism. I need tk get myself some cash asap to grab a couple weapons that will be banned in a year

This guy gets it, if the opposition party cares more about maintaining their legal bribes than punishing those doing the bribing and accepting the bribes then they bear an equal responsibility to the destination that those in the car are driven to.
