So while that is a fun fantasy, and let’s say it’s even plausible. What do you do afterward? Do you execute the police officers in the street? Do you ship them to a re-education camp set up by the fifth column in the foot hills of the rockies? How long do you keep up the charade? Parallel Systems of support are needed to fight a fascist government, not just a bunch of larpers on an afternoon.

Do “red states” not have a proletariat?

Why? He’s been back stabbing and sidelining since he got to be a victim and his pro-cop cause sucks a lot. If Bloomberg paid his PAC a few million to endorse the political equivalent of Pelosi, you bet your ass he’ll do that.

Thank you, Lemmy is looking like a slippery slope back into Reddit today with everyone just screaming at the headlines without knowing the full stories or context.

Have you read the article? You should it pretty short, and the Headline absolutely gets it right.

What she’s saying is to use the word “kings” instead of “oligarchy”. Which I get. Sure - do that. Makes sense. Same argument, same vitriol, more punch.

Still don’t agree with that. Oligarchy is a very specific thing that we are currently living in. We don’t have a king, not even by the most new-speak of definitions.

Detailing her plan, Slotkin – a former analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)

Also hard pass. The CIA should be shuttered they will never be able to provide solution to the problems of capitalism, because their number one goal is to secure “US Interests Abroad” meaning, prop up the oligarchy.

The more I hear about billionaires losing billion’s the more I appreciate the tariffs.

Columbia bent the knee

Why do you think that Columbia was “fighting” trump in the first place. They had been trying to deport and ban criticism of Israel for decades, they finally had the opportunity and they are glad of it.

So this whole department is very ridiculous and shouldn’t exist

Thanks Obama. (seriously obama created it). https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-doge-origin-story-how-barack-obama-laid-the-groundwork-for-elon-musk

This dude fucking sucked. Like I’m glad pelosi got challenged, but he wasn’t the guy. I’m much more excited about Chakrabarti. Though that is mostly association with AoC and tabula rasa projection.

Phoned in bomb threats have never been credible since the IRA, but they were actual bombs that they wanted to actually warn civilians about. In any other case the officials in-charge of responding to the bomb threat by cancelling the event should be fired.

Class analysis is the only thing that matters. Read theory and stop being a wrecker.

I’m not sure why that matters? Pretty sure he has profited off of the fruits of his labor unless he owns some kind of orphan crushing enterprise I’m not aware of.

Bill Burr has always been Based.

They weren’t primaried, they just didn’t run again. Manchin specifically got to serve multiple terms despite blowing up multiple democratic initiatives during Obama’s term. He had the full support of the DNC and absolutely wasn’t “ostracized” from the party. Similar to Fetterman, if he chooses to run again for senate, he will also have the full backing of the DNC and will be able to run as a democrat.

That’s extremely convenient. So the ones that didn’t want to pass legislation that would reflect the democratic party’s values and platform were not funded anymore and kicked from the party right? So they all had strong well-funded primary contender’s and couldn’t run as democrats anymore in the general election right?

If they had 60+ votes in the Senate and a strong majority in the house like they should, I would fully expect them to pass good legislation.

Why did they need 60 votes? Could they have done something in the senate without 60? Think carefully.

I just don’t understand why this particular thing comes up all the time. Is there someone seriously proposing that?

I know the conspiracy theorists loooove to talk about it as if Bill Gates along with some “they” is planning that for all of the rest of us, based on something said at WEF one time, but…?

I’m sure the alex jones crew bring it up all the time when talking about the secret global conspiracy or whatever, but I bring it up because bugs are a legitimate food source. One that is extremely efficient in terms of both resources and space, but just because eating bugs is more “efficient” then eating beef, doesn’t mean that we should all eat bugs. Generally this is uncontroversial, but some environmentalists dismiss food culture and variety of diets amongst humans in pursuit of maximizing some other metric but they aren’t very clear on what their goals are, let alone the why.

“End Racism” was removed as the slogan in the end zones in the stadium where the Superbowl is being hosted, and people wanted to attack neoliberals for being so soft that “People Exist” would be their replacement slogan. Would there have ever have been an “End Racism” sign from the Saints and NFL if the “neoliberals” hadn’t been pushing things forward since LBJ?

If the “neoliberal” party wasn’t around to constantly stop socialism, do nothing slogans like that wouldn’t need to exist at all. Slavery would have actually been banned, not enshrined in the constitution as punishment. FDR wouldn’t have even been elected, it would have been Eugene Debs or someone even more radical. The purpose of the democratic party is to make sure that things cannot get better economically unless a large corporation benefits first and foremost.

Yea that’s why Roe v Wade was prioritized, and even the most progressive president who ever progressived, endorsed Roe v. Wade by calling it “not our highest priority.” Real bang-up job there and that’s why abortion rights, something that was first created 50+ years ago are now a bedrock of healthcare in all 50 states.

I bet they will be as good at being “the opposition” as they were at defending Roe v Wade, or being “the resistance.”
