  • I challenge you from one blue state to another, dont vote for any candidate who has pledged support for Netanyahu’s genocide.

    The margin that matters is 5%, can a third party break the 5% barrier and get matching national funds? It will be the first step in breaking this evil duopoly and the “lesser of two evils” disaster that is destroying our democracy.

    Suggesting Democrats are doing “everything possible” on an issue like healthcare is absolutely wild.

    The last time we heard Dems talk about healthcare was when Bernie pressured candidate Biden into “supporting” a public option. Then once elected, with control of congress, Dems didn’t even broach the subject.






  • Summing up the situation as “bombing their enemies” only shows your ignorance or bias.

    They are running a starvation campaign. They created a million refugees, then they carpet bomb the refugee camps. They destroyed almost all of the hospitals, schools, and places of worship in Gaza. They rape Palestinian prisoners, and when the rapist was going to be prosecuted, the populace protested and made him a social media star. The civilian leadership has called for the starvation and extermination of the entire population on hundreds of occasions. I could go on and on, the list of Israeli war crimes in the past year is horrendously long.

    And now they aren’t just attacking Gaza, they are invading Lebanon as well, doing the same war crimes.




  • I think the “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” idea is overstated, most people I interact with have a somewhat negative outlook on the economy and their future wealth.

    I think the real issue is that no viable alternative is presented to most people.

    The alternatives presented are Russian-style authoritarian oligarchy, Islamofascism, or a Venezuela-style “socialism” in which the narrative only focuses on poverty.
