The empire has weaponized the insight that the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing, so spreading awareness of the reality that the Democrats are not good peopl…
Yeah, the article basically calls both political parties a bunch of evil idiotic pricks. Which is pretty fucking accurate, but nobody seems to want to acknowledge this, even here on Lemmy
Both political parties are a bunch of evil idiotic pricks. Each major party is the party of corporate influence. One is slightly more overt and explicit in their intention but it's not enough of a distinction to make identifying them worthwhile.
Show me a political group worth backing and I will listen. Otherwise you are yelling at clouds. We acknowledge, we see no alternatives. Over throw the government, hell yeah sounds punk rock but what replaces it? A bunch of dungeon dweebs with zero understanding of global politics. Some Christo fascist extremist group that would start and lose a civil war with anyone non white. A far left progressive group that doesn’t understand how the American threat of violence is the only commodity keeping the US from being a third world country. There is a reason we spend the money we do on our military, its why Israel is our Middle East enforcers, it’s why we have to back Ukraine no matter what. It’s why the 2 parties are essentially the same.
The blue MAGA mass downvoters on here are a real problem for the platform. I don't even get the point of it. I think they think that any disagreement from the party line leads to the DNC failing because it's like Tinkerbell, and only kept alive by belief and clapping, not just a deeply corrupt neoliberal party in need of reform, that is terribly underperforming in only managing 50-50 while the GOP self-destructs.
More evidence of Dem voters getting radicalized by their "unbiased" media. these cats are the ones trudging blindly behind their party's frog-march rightward
Call it sheep herding, call it controlled opposition, or call it an accident if you're really gullible, but the outcome is the same. America ratchets rightwards and no one does anything. Rinse repeate until the lesser of two evils tturned into the lesser of two genocides.
I'm curious who you consider to be a progressive in US politics.
And i do mean curious genuinely. I'm a communist so I don't have a very high opinion of what counts as "progressive" in the US. I do think there wouod be a voter base for what could be called a Progressive Party in the US but i don't see any leadership. Most espousing "progressive" positions would turn their backs on them the minute they could actually come true, or whenever they have to put their money where thier mouth is. Kamala Harris and the entire progressives caucus cime to mind.
I'd like to hear your opinion on possible leadership though. And i won't attack it as we both know I'll disagree before hand lol - I'm just genuinely curious how a non-communist views it
