What kind of shitty click bait is this?
The richest man in the world officially announced on Saturday that he has officially formed a new political party to challenge Republicans and Democrats alike.
He fucking tweeted that it was created, literally nothing official.
How the left is defending this particular religion is crazy.
All the Abrahamic religions have these extremists.
Name any of the other big three that have multiple genocides against their followers happening right now.
You’re punching down by signaling out Islam, that’s why you keep getting the feedback you’re complaining about
Has no one tried explaining that to you yet?
Edit:
On a completely unrelated note, it’s always weird when I stop replying to one account about this, another account with even less activity usually picks up right where the other left off …
It has less to do with religion and more to do with culture
No. It’s far right religious extremism…
You’re taking the actions of the most extreme 0.001% and using a label that applies to literally billions of people…
It’s hard to believe someone cant logically understand that
You’ve made it abundantly obvious that you’re problem is the religion and not an isolated incident.
It’s also obvious why you’re hyper focused on the far right extremists of just one of the Abrhamic religions when literally all of them have extremists doing the same fucking shit. Because their rationale for doing so is literal the same original rules, and for the literal same god.
If you want to avoid people pointing out the bias in what you’re doing talk about far right religious extremists of all religions, not just a singular one.
Especially when the religion you’re hyper focused on are the victims of multiple genocides right fucking now
Everybody that doesn’t identify as a progressive…
The nation didn’t follow FDR because everything was rosy before he was elected.
When shit gets bad, especially quickly, people turn to progressive politicians. And shits been bad in America, but it about to get a lot fucking worse.
Two tiny websites who don’t even have mbfc ratings…
Thanks for proving my point there’s no trustworthy sources, since it’s a safe assumption those were the best you could find short of the literal far right tabloid you first learned about this from
Biden’s primary problem was that he could not comprehend where the criticism was coming from and would re-frame it in such a way as to absolve responsibility.
Because he has the mind of an 80 year old…
Everyone around him was either taking advantage of him or complicit in what was happening.
We can’t keep pretending the normal biological effects of aging aren’t real. And because the way it affects, we’re usually the last ones to notice it’s happening.
Other people have to be able to make the call. It doesn’t matter if it’s polite, sometimes grandpa doesn’t get to keep the car keys.
None of them have been on our side either.
If trump wants to burn down billionaires mouthpieces…
There’s a lot that deserve it less.
Yep. Apparently I was wrong tho, it’s 150 not 225.
No idea where I got that from, probably some upper band from somewhere.
Anyway, when trying to figure out why I was wrong, I found an old David Wong article on from before he went batshit and Cracked shit the bed:
https://www.cracked.com/article_14990_what-monkeysphere.html
Dude really was a great writer back in the day
Socialism has been the middle for 99.99% of human existence…
It’s the center. The natural organization of a human social group. The problem is our brains can only handle ~225 different individuals. After that we have to categorizes everyone else into groups which makes it easier to dehumanize those groups in modern society.
That’s how capitalism became the norm in large societies
If you’re wealthy and you everyone you interact with is wealthy…
Our brains are wired to stop giving a fuck about people not in that small ~225 circle of people.
All of them had earlier signs than the general public about Biden’s mental issues
But they didn’t give a fuck until it was undeniable to the general public.
Especially Schumer tho, he didn’t act until the very lose possible second after they’d already shut down the primary
We could have had Biden sorted and sidelined with plenty of time for a fair primary.
Because the other billionaires who own the media really really really want to avoid progressives accomplishing anything.
So now that neoliberals are out of control of the DNC, the media isn’t going to have many good things to say about the DNC.
I’d say that’s obviously, but holy shit some days I feel like I’m explaining it to the same 12 people who just can’t fucking grasp that billionaire owned media favors billionaires.
Like, could you imagine someone falling for that dumb shit and getting mad at anyone other than the fucking Nazi in your gif and the media system defending fascism
No, no…
Clearly you’re right! How the fuck could I think that Republican politicians could be bought*.
Those great upstanding citizens who always put their personal profit last.
/s
For all the money he has, the only political influence he ever had was through Trump.
No, you’re right …
I completely forgot money doesn’t play a roll in the American political system
/S
Like, what kind of logic are you using that makes you think money just doesn’t fucking matter?
Especially in Republican primaries?
I dunno, maybe there’s some I missed, but what you just said…
It’s a Republican that’s not voting how trump wants, specifically the budget.
So trump made an entire PAC to primary him, now Musk is backing him against Trump’s pac.
And apparently Musk is gonna make a 3rd party if the budget passes?
Which would be amazing. If Musk and Trump both have their own parties, it just splits the Republican vote. Regardless of policy, no one is switching from D to either of those asshats.
A snake moves left to right back and forth, over and over, just to make an inch of progress in the direction they want to go.
Look around and ask yourself whether this country would ever, ever, EVER elect a woman.
Kamala and Hillary combined had zero charisma, ran policy Dem voters hated…
And still almost won.
So yeah, a charismatic woman with popular policy would win.
Buddy…
This is like if in June 2021 you stared blaming Biden for the shit trump did when he was president…
The DNC is essentially ~400 people that get together to vote for a chair every four years. And if a Dem was elected president they just all vote for who the president suggests. (Note: Obama never nominated one)
So the people who rigged 2016 could have been replaced, and Donna Brazile’s brief time gave us valuable insights into how fucked things were.
But the voting members went neoliberals again, there wasn’t a good option running.
2020 Biden won, and picked the same type of chair who handed him the primary.
2024 we didn’t get a primary, and New Hampshire’s delegates were stolen, something I can never forgive as a Democrat.
But in February the voting members (who have slowly been getting replaced, literally not all the same people) choose a state chair who took a purple state, ran fair primaries for a decade, and turned it into a progressive stronghold.
“The DNC” is not a monolith, it’s not some great institute of life long beurocrats.
Change is possible.
I’ve spent literally 30 years bitching about the DNC (and yes, I still held my nose and voted D in generals once I was 18). I understand how it works.
The chair runs the show and is final call on literally everything.
So expect the DNC to be run exactly like the last decade of the Minnesota party was.
Blaming current DNC for the faults of the last is as dumb as blaming 2021 Biden for what 2016-2020 trump did…
Just because they’re both at the head of the same office.
Quick edit:
Also, Martin just ran out two of those problematic superdelegates who had been fucking shit up. Not only that, they had been high ranking members of the committee that has been running the sh primaries.
Shit is getting better.
Just don’t expect Martin to throw the trash on the front yard and dont expect billionaire owned media to put anything this new DNC does in a good light. If a progressive wins in 2028 we’d see an fdr style movement again.
The billionaires don’t want that. And they don’t mind lying.
And sorry this is a wall of text, but it’s important people understand how optimistic we should be right now.
Biden and the rest of the neoliberals gave Bibi everything he wanted, but it was never going to be enough.
Give someone like that two choices who will do whatever he wants, but one is a sadistic asshole. And they’ll go with the asshole everytime.
There was never any gain for a Dem to defend Bibi, except for the personal gain of campaign donations from a foreign country.
And that’s one of the big reasons Dem turnout was low enough for trump to be president.
Neoliberals picked Israel over America and we need to get every single one of them out of office
