      far right liberal capitalists or literally figurative nazis.

      if you’re on the wrong side of us ‘foreign policy’ both of these groups will exterminate you all the same.

      the bipartisan consensus between them is that capitalist exploitation continues

        True, but maybe with small changes in the sociopolitical fabric of the US, eventually, in some decades, US foreign policy can change also. Western European powers are STILL up to no good in Africa and West Asia and they have been at it for hundreds of years… Small steps, right? 😔

      No it doesn’t.

      If Ken Martin fixes primaries, one look at Minnesota tells you he’s so bad at keeping progressives out of office he might as well not be trying.

      Either way, we have a solid chance of a decent dem candidate making it to the general. And if they do the general is a shoe in.

        I always say this, what happened to the Americans who stopped the Gilded Age and ushered in the two Roosevelts? Americans forgot how to mobilise.

          No, the wealthy united against everyone else despite any differences during FDR.

          This led to the Business Plot, which failed because the puppet general backed out and snitched on the wealthiest capitalists for trying to overthrow FDR …

          And not a single person was punished.

          They didn’t give up, they just decided buying both parties was easier than a coup, and maintained the illusion of choice.

          We didn’t “forget” shit, we had our country stolen from us by the wealthiest citizens.

            I mean before FDR, during the Gilded Age. People successfully mobilised to curtail monopolists and other industry tycoons. I think Americans did forget to do that.
