  • It’s definitely a “red line”, but I work in a field that requires me to think about things long-term. To me, the genocide shit is bad and I am 100% behind Bibi and his administration being tried and hung for their atrocities. However, I also know it can get a whole lot worse for Palestinians, and the world was a whole, if anyone but a Democrat wins in November.

    Sure, we keep sliding to the right. But at least with Harris in office, we stand a chance of reversing a further slide. Without, we are sure to continue the slide at an even faster rate.

    Look past the shortsightedness of those that seek to distract you and try to see the bigger picture. We can’t do anything about the shit going on now if we don’t have a future.






  • Both parties are different sides of the same coin. They just have different ways of accomplishing their end goals. Bernie posed a huge threat to corporate interests and the wealthy. They knew that. They also knew that a vast, VAST number of Americans supported Bernie, even across the political divide. Why do you think Democrats did very little recently when a surge of unionization happened? They’re basically insider traders with a day job ignoring the needs of the people who had no other political choice.

    The next two possible candidates in the 2020 election were that Klob… umm the lady with a name that doesn’t want to be spell checked and what’s his face, the current Secretary of Transportation. We all know, now, what they were offered to drop out of that race as they took up their cushy administrative jobs. Both of them represented monied interests and were splitting the ticket three ways for the true democratic nominee between them and Biden. All while the American middle and lower classes were turning out in droves for Bernie.

    I won’t say that both groups are equal threats, but I’ll never forget not forgive what the DNC did. I vote for them because I value more than myself and know the existential threat that Republicans have shown themselves to be. Fuck the DNC, but also I’ll be voting for Biden the same way I did in 2020, and before with Hillary in 2016, holding my fucking nose.











  • And someone who’s part of a cult, or a significant other who is abused, will try to recruit people to their cause or downplay the violence or dig in deeper with their abusers.

    Don’t get me wrong, those who perpetuate the hate on the conservative side are rat bastards who have no place in society. However, those on the consumption end have been programmed to think this way. Deprogramming takes a lot of time and requires the cult member to want to learn more and get out. However, forcefully removing a cult member will usually just push them back to the cult harder.

    Either these Republican rubes die or start investigating other sources of info. Either way, we have a long fight ahead of us, and that’s only if we can cut off the head of the snake and stop the cult at the top.
