There's some very weird ml groups, but you just made that up, if not, you'd have said which org.

I kinda felt like there was a lot of filler. They didn't need to spend an hour of the first two episodes focusing on drama within the group of dipshits who presumably

I think I see the confusion. A capitalist is someone who owns a significant amount of capital. China obviously has capitalists. Liberalism is the philosophy of capitalism. China does have liberals, but there's been some pushback over the last decade or so.

I mean you kinda can, see China.

Not really, because somehow a libertarian society where you can own slaves is less "authoritarian" than a socialist society where everyone is fed, housed, because the poor capitalists don't get the power to exploit people.

Meanwhile a primitive anarchist commune with so little development of the means of production, a person's only options are to fill a very specific role in society or starve becomes free again.

The term "authoritarian" is not useful for describing how much agency people in a society have over their own lives.

What are you gonna do, vote for the guy who wants to put 10 holes in the boat? No, you have to vote for me, I will only put 9 more holes in the boat.

Don't try to take away my gun or tell me to stop putting holes in the boat. What do you want Trump to win?

Other than take the gun from the liberal to save us all, wtf could he have done?

It wasn't just Trump, Dem governors and mayors had an opportunity to fill in where the federal government was failing, and instead we got Cuomo going on CNN every night to talk about how important it is to balance human health and the economy.

Unpopular policy decreases turnout. That's just how democracy works. The narrative of blaming the voters just serves to distract from the only people who could have changed the outcome of the last election and will be the only ones who can change the outcome of future lessons.

If Trump runs for a third term, and the democrats run on building the wall and defunding the government, the same fucking thing will happen.

OK, and then the democrats run on Trump's 2024 platform in 2028 and we either get the same policies Biden never pushed back on, or the dems lose again.

The only way for the dems to win in 2026 and 2028 is if they listen to the base.

Several domains about dunking on liberals.

When communists talk about liberals, they're talking about anyone who is pro-capitalism.

you certainly didn’t help him NOT win!

What did you do to get the democrats to stop the bad policies and genocide that caused them to lose?

Or did you simply try to convince people that they should shut up about these things because Trump would be worse and you understood that the democrats changing course even if they knew they were on a losing trajectory was never in the cards?

The only way the dems could have won in 2024 is if they did what is popular with their base. This applies to literally every election. You should be furious that they lost to Donald fucking Trump twice because they thought they could win while enacting policies they knew would decrease turnout.

They have their own polling, they know there's not a bunch of voters who just hate tiktok and will vote for tax credits to buy healthcare for first-generation college grads who run a small business in an under-served community for 3 years, but won't vote for free healthcare.

No messaging could have made genocide in gaza popular, it's not the people telling the democrats to stop giving Israel fucking bombs who made facilitating genocide unpopular. The only people who could have changed whether Palestine hurt the dems or helped them were the dems. They decided unlimited support for a genocidal settler colonial state was more important than winning.

It's in response to a pakistan airstrike that killed 46 people.

Do you think the conflict in Palestine is over religion too?

If the USA government thinks countries in the world do not have options to trade, it’s their mistake

Any country that is not prepared to get the Venezuala/Cuba/Iran/Russia/North Korea treatment will do what the US tells it.

Both democrats and republicans believe Latinos owe allegiance to the democrat party.

Why doesn't the article tell us exactly what those demands are? Last time the sticking point was that Israel would resume bombing in 2 weeks and continue occupying parts of Gaza.

Hamas was supported by Israel to fight Fatah, not the PA. The Palestinian Authority is an Israeli puppet.
