This coming from people who still support Stalin in 2024
  • I would still vote for her, given her voting record and policy proposals she supports/ed, but I will say the $40 I donated to her campaign are the only political donations I've ever regretted making.

    I could not have a beer with her, either I'd be thinking about bringing it up the entire time. Actually, I would have a beer with her just to ask her what the hell happened? How does she feel about her legacy? What did it feel like to be the OG Fetterman?

  • Democrats groan at AIPAC "overkill" against Jamaal Bowman
  • Yep. Just compare how they defended Henry Cuellar against Jessica Cisneros vs how they left Jamaal Bowman hanging.

    Honest question to anyone possibly paying more attention. Was there any act from the DNC to defend Bowman? I might've missed it but it wouldn't surprise me to learn they felt differently about supporting one incumbent vs the other

  • Phone calls still assume the people on the receiving end are attached to a desk.
  • Ok, that's totally fair. I would absolutely hate to get a work call from an unknown number. Tha didn't even cross my mind!

    I was interpreting it as simply hearing your phone ring and thinking it could be a spam caller (I really need to set up custom ringtones at some point)

  • WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returns to Australia a free man after US legal battle ends
  • Do you think they could've done that and chose not to?

    It seems like you're saying they shouldn't have done what they did because it wasn't executed perfectly which feels awfully like what MLK was criticizing in his letter from a Birmingham jail, people that support things in theory but never in reality and that always seem to solely criticize the actions/methods of those fighting for justice

  • WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returns to Australia a free man after US legal battle ends
  • You're saying they should've just resigned? How would we have learned about PRISM without evidence?

    I don't know what you're referring to about info suppression. Did we learn anything or just that we don't know everything? How is that more helpful? Or, for who is it more helpful?

  • WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returns to Australia a free man after US legal battle ends
  • Oh weird, that was not the impression I got from the many comments you made criticizing them for their brave actions.

    I would tend to blame any negative fallout on the US government, personally. If they weren't committing atrocities regular people wouldn't have had to take the huge risk/be put at risk.

    It's like getting upset at a victim of police brutality for not working with the police

  • WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returns to Australia a free man after US legal battle ends
  • I'm sorry if this is a bit too unrelated but would you say the same about Snowden?

    I'm not as well informed on Assange but I tend to find the "espionage" criticism lacking, personally, since it seems to mainly favor the generally terrible foreign policy actions of the US empire and not so much the people of the US who are for the most part against those actions but have little recourse what with the 2 party system and having a plutocratic system of government
