As I said before: I better not hear another liberal saying not to split the vote.

Liberals being hypocrites, very smerprising.
The party has been fatally broken for a while; it's mostly a question of if and when the left realizes that and gets to work.
I don't think so, no. At the pace democracy is being dismantled at in America, there is simply no possibility of a free and fair midterm. Remember that we're still not even half a year into this administration.
Are you fucking kidding me? Israel is armed, funded and protected by America, by your elected officials, using your tax money. Don't think that by saying "oh, but it's another country," you can get away from this responsibility. What next? Were the Nicaraguan death squads just another group in South America? It cannot be understated just how morally reprehensible what you just said is. The misery of hundreds of millions of people today was caused by American meddling and you're completely sweeping that under the rug. Shame on you.
Who's being more disrespectful, the people who are concerned with the health and democratic saftey of their own country or the ones using some conflict in a far off place as a substitute for personality and to virtue signal on social media as if slogans lime BLM and free Palestine do anything to help these groups of people.
Don't project your own lack of principles on me, but also: absolutely the former. At least have the honesty to confront the fact that you don't care if your government keeps supporting genocide.
I read the article and it's not satirical, though it does have a hint of "who woulda thunk????".
Yes? What makes you think otherwise?
I'm not complaining; I'm simply making a statement of fact. Quite literally no resistance happened on June 14th.
I mean, there's a limit to how much a voting system can do. Western democracies have more fundamental problems.
And a party willing to not put all its resources to preventing them from winning. Mamdani's example is inspiring, and he's likely going to win, but part of this is because his opponents are all toxic. In a more serious contest this sort of party meddling can and will tank progressive candidates to the benefit of Republicans.
