soratoyuki,

Seconding this. There’s a surprising number of anarchist and anarchist-adjacent people in DSA, including the Libertarian Socialist Caucus.

soratoyuki,

How big are your bags?

soratoyuki,

Don’t worry, it’ll all trickle down any day now.

soratoyuki,

Biden is going to further jeopardize his reelection chances just so arms manufacturers can profit more off genocide.

Say what you want about the capitalist class, but they certainly have class solidarity.

Imagine living on a planet that’s being cooked alive, a random executive in a board room can fire you for no reason, you’re one missed paycheck away from being homeless, which itself is increasingly being criminalized, you’ll never be able to own a house or pay off the loans society told you you had to take out when you were 18, you’re one bad doctor’s appointment from bankruptcy, your tax dollars are going to fund a genocide in Gaza, and the only socially acceptable option to contest any of it is voting once every few years.

How can you not actively support destroying the fundamentally illegitimate system that defines America?

If you think they’re literally calling to kill over 300 million people, I have great news about potential crypto and NFT investments for you.

It’s almost like the mainstream media deliberately doesn’t give a voice to people outside of a very narrow (and shrinking) Overton window.

Edit: honestly having trouble imagining how absolutely stupid someone has to be to downvote this lol. Guess I need to make a cryptocurrency lol.

soratoyuki,

We need a maximum age limit for politicians and voters. People that aren’t sticking around for dinner don’t get to pick the groceries.

soratoyuki,

It’s not like Fox News is ever going to have a segment calling for empathy with minority urban voters, or 538 running an article on Republicans failing to address issues that minority urban voters have.

soratoyuki,

I dunno. I’m kinda rooting for this one to succeed. Illegitimate debts deserve illegitimate payments.

soratoyuki,

So, so I get a prorated refund on my Google One subscription, or…?

soratoyuki,

Since no one apparently read the article, it’s the Democrats doing this.

The Debt Collective named Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) as particularly responsible for the language.

soratoyuki,

America has to be the only “democracy” that shames voters for disagreeing with politicians instead of the reverse.

soratoyuki,

Broke: People being opposed to the ongoing genocide in Gaza are going to get Trump elected.

Woke: Biden’s uncritical support of an unpopular genocide in Gaza is going to get Trump elected.

Biden could just, you know, stop giving arms to Israel.

soratoyuki,

Conservatives are itching to commit violence against women, minorities, and political opposition.

Leftists recognize that medical debt, unaffordable food and rent, climate change, etc. are already forms of violence we’re being subjected to as part of permanent class warfare.

They are not the same.

soratoyuki,

No. It means enough people screaming genocide Joe loudly enough had a small but tangible impact on American foreign policy.

soratoyuki,

Certainly not, but he definitely cares about the 100,000 people that voted uncommitted in Michigan and the littany of polls that show a majority of Democratic and young voters not supporting current US foreign policy.

soratoyuki,

So the months of coordinated efforts to by activists to disrupt Democratic meetings, harass Democratic politicians, chant genocide Joe, vote uncommitted in primaries, block traffic, support BDS efforts etc. was actually an effective method of protest that had a small but meaningful effect in changing foreign policy?

The methods of protest the state wants us to think are successful and the methods that can actually succeed are usually not the same. Please take note.

soratoyuki,

I recommend you read the second sentence that you declined to quote.

soratoyuki,

Of course the sentence is relevant. I’m not sure why I should bother writing a reply to you when you apparently stop reading them after the first word. Have a good day.

soratoyuki,

Generally speaking, they do want to lose. If they actually ran on their universally popular policies, they’d win majorities large enough to where they wouldn’t have excuses to not enact their legislative mandate, which is at odds with what their corporate donors want.

No charges to be filed in fight involving Oklahoma nonbinary teen Nex Benedict, prosecutor says (apnews.com)

An Oklahoma district attorney said Thursday he doesn’t plan to file any charges in the case of Nex Benedict, the nonbinary 16-year-old Owasso teenager whose death following a fight in a high school bathroom was ruled a suicide....

soratoyuki,

I mean, we should definitely do something, but the George Floyd protests failed to make any lasting change.

soratoyuki,

It’s not a coincidence. For instance there’s the GILEE program which is literally a Georgia to Israel police exchange/training program.

soratoyuki, (edited )

Given that Trump is running in the Republican primary, I’m unsure how this would effect anyone voting uncommitted in a Democratic primary?

soratoyuki,

What do you think the point of a primary is, if not for voters to express there views to their political party?

Trump isn’t running in the Democratic primary ffs.

soratoyuki,

This would be a much more productive conversation if you didn’t just invent things I didn’t say to argue with. I’ve implied no such thing.

I am explicitly using the Democratic primary as a method to express my displeasure with Biden, which you may recognize as the sole reason primaries exist. I’m increasingly confused by how many people seem to not understand that.

Will voting uncommitted or for the crazy crystal healing lady lead to the Democrats having a component and popular general election candidate come November? No, sadly, but that’s a criticism of the state of our decayed democracy not giving voters meaningful avenues to enact change in society, not a criticism of the electoral strategies that have to exist within said decayed democracy.

Will voting uncommitted or for the crazy crystal healing lady lead to Biden making meaningful changes in his stances regarding Palestine? Given his change in messaging from the guy that bypassed Congress to sell Israel munitions two months ago to someone that now doing the bare minimum of at least air dropping (nowhere near sufficient) food supplies to Gaza, the answer to that is seemingly a slight yes. Which has the benefit of aligning the presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee with the majority of voters, making him a stronger general candidate.

You know. The whole point of a primary. So, you’re welcome?
