America’s support for genocide isn’t an accident. It isn’t an anolomy. It’s what America always does. It’s what the system was built on.

Look at the size of America’s military. Look at the size of America’s wealth. Look at who benefits.

If you defend capitalism, you defend that.

  • And now you’re accusing independents of being Nazis. Like that’s gonna help.

    I mean, I understand. You’re just following the example of your party leaders, like when Hillary accused Tulsi Gabbard of being a Russian agent. Like most people, you look to your political leaders to understand the political landscape, and your party really hasn’t given you any other example.

    One of the functions of political parties is to spread political literacy among the population, and the Democrats and the Republicans both feed you nonsense because they’re never going to tell you “the truth is we serve the corporate class, lol”.

    It’s not your fault that they’re failing you. But they are failing you. And they’re failing America.





  • Why is this downvoted? Shouldn’t Democrats love this? This is a win-win for the Democrats and Greens.

    John Oliver just described on his latest show how Georgia state rep Ruwa Romman (a Palestinian-American woman in a swing state) arranged a vote swap with someone in a non-swing state, where Romman would vote for Harris in exchange for a vote against Harris. And John Oliver is as Democrat as they come.

    And I think one vote for Harris in a swing state in exchange for two votes against Harris elsewhere is more than generous to the Democrats right now considering the circumstances.



  • They aren’t intended to win, they’re intended to do exactly what they’re doing - selecting particular wedge issues to split the Democrat vote and give them a lower total percentage vs Republicans

    But surely that would happen even if someone else like Cornel West was the Greens leader.

    All Putin achieves by (somehow) installing his plant as the Greens presidential candidate is lowering the Greens’ vote share by preventing them from getting the most charismatic and effective candidate.

    If Putin really did subvert the Greens’ selection mechanism and install a less popular candidate with limited appeal, the Democrats should be thanking him.



  • But these accusations don’t even make sense.

    Why would Putin benefit from having a Russian plant as the presidential candidate of the Green Party? Does he mistakenly think the Green Party has some influence in American politics?

    And how could he known his plant would be selected by the party as their presidential candidate? Is he psychic? Is the entire Green Party comprised of Russian plants?

    If his goal was for the Greens to be a spoiler for the Dems, surely they’d be just as much of a spoiler no matter who their candidate was. In fact, without Stein, they could probably find a better candidate and be more of a spoiler.

    I’m not worried about Stein being a Russian plant because it literally would make no difference to anything.




  • the second statement of yours doesn’t work.

    So you’re arguing against self-determination for the inhabitants of the Donbas on the grounds that the territory historically belonged to Ukraine. (Which does seem to be the attitude of the Ukrainian government.)

    I don’t think that’s a good argument against self-determination. And that’s how you end up with separatist violence.
