This is exactly why Judges have been so lenient on him. None of them want to go from country clubbing to having firsthand knowledge of the witness protection program.
While I agree they go way too easy on Republicans, this was literally authored by a prominent Democrat, it’s way more likely for them to actually do this than a lot of the average stuff the news says they should.
Just so you know, when you say shit like this you sound exactly like the MAGA lovers that are frothing at the mouth for the start of violence because then “they have to take our country back”.
There’s plenty of ways to avoid fascism that doesn’t involve just letting the world burn because you’re upset it isn’t perfect.
people are getting ready to face the consequences of your complicity.
Oh shit didn’t realize I was the boogeyman singlehandedly keeping American politics in gridlock.
I’m perfectly aware that American Conservatism has quickly backsled into fascism, and I know the establishment neo-liberal wing on the Democratic Party ignored it.
Part of my family barely survived the Holocaust, and the rest of that wing of my family was killed, I’m perfectly aware of what fascism is and will do.
I’m just saying that telling people “it’s all over you’re doomed you better take to the streets and do revolution” won’t fix the situation literally at all.
Nobody fucking wants to have to confront fascists and protest and riot
Neolibs have ignored the political fight … tried to sweep it under the rug
Vote for Biden all you want, I’m trying to warn you that it’s too late
No amount of jelly-spined fascist lite democrats are going to get us out of this hole
Tell me what the message of this is supposed to be other than this:
“Neoliberals ruined it all, voting is pointless, go buy a gas mask, and you need to go into the streets and riot to confront fascism.”
To me they come off the exact same.
Also, if the democrats aren’t the answer, who is? Where are you planning to pull institutional support to battle the fascists? Or are you just planning to go into the streets and yell about it aimlessly?
I’m an American who doesn’t follow UK politics too much, but this feels like political suicide type stuff. Am I right in thinking that?
Like he was already polling bad, how the fuck is “You see that war to the east young people? Isn’t that scary? Anyway, you gotta serve now” supposed to gain him literally any support?
I feel like even the stereotypical old conservative would be hesitant about possibly voting to send their grandchildren to war.
So they’ve decided to possibly sacrifice the young in the name of getting the middle and older aged peoples votes? And the only other policy proposal I’ve heard from him is flying people to Rwanda to “fix” immigration?
Jesus Christ your politics suck. Hopefully, yall vote them out and fix things a bit.
Cope cages on Western tanks, I think. Russians have had them for awhile but theirs look like shit.
Not just that, look at the sides and front bottom, there’s ERA slapped all over it. They gave it both the Cope Cage and ERA treatment, this is truly peak credibility.
I think it’s actually real… The article also depicts Kirkbride, even in his own words, as like five times more insane than I thought he was, mostly in a good way.
Nearly three in five Americans wrongly believe the US is in an economic recession, and the majority blame the Biden administration, according to a Harris poll conducted exclusively for the Guardian. The survey found persistent pessimism about the economy as election day draws closer....
I’m a Gen Z’er from the deep south, unions were never mentioned in our education once, neither was the labor movement, my friends learned what a union was from me, and the first time I ever learned of the concept of a union was from Wikipedia.

I mean you can totally vote for whoever you want, and I’d wish we had some more competition in the party system, but first past the post makes that incredibly hard.
For example, it took a couple decades of the labor party fighting for control with the liberal party in the UK for it to be established as the main left of center party. In the meantime they split their elections.
I don’t think we’re in the position to do that right now with the republican party being what it is, not to mention that several parties have tried for the past century and gotten nowhere as close as to the presidency as Bernie did in the primary.
Ehhh even with the shit they pulled on Bernie I still think reorienting the party is the right strategy.
The Democratic Party has been pulled from a segregationist position to the champions of civil rights in Congress once before, they’ve also been pulled away from business interests before.
So I think it’s definitely possible to grow a socialist wing inside the Democratic party, I mean we’ve ready seen better gains in the past decade in Congress than in the past century of third parties trying to gain a foothold.
