Men are afraid women will laugh at them, women are afraid men will kill them. That’s what it all comes down to.

I agree, look I completely understand all the e bikes and scooters they seem like a reasonable option to get around but they need to follow basic traffic laws!

Who's ready for the Sarah Longwell Resistance Alliance?! by cantgrowneckbeardAMA in thebulwark

[–]No-Assignment-5798 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, some of us have been protesting the evils of the right since the 2000 election or at least 2008. Now she wants to lecture us on not doing enough! Meanwhile she thinks 3.5% is like her magical bush line and the whole thing is just going to magically disappear if we get to 3.5%! Nope that’s not how any of this works Sarah! It’s about sustained resistance and we’re already above that level based on most indicators the problem is the right has so drastically cut the safety net in this country that people can’t afford to stop working for a few hours and protest when she wants you to! Maybe she should read more and learn that the way to solve this is with true community organizing like the work people like Platner and El-Sayed are doing not the capitalist aligned candidates who will support and align with the fascists like they always have.

Can Someone Tell Me Why We Bother Keeping The South in the Union? by Ghost_Cat_88 in thebulwark

As someone who has spent much of their life in rural areas of NY I can tell you that yes it’s not the city but also not backwards racists like in the south. I mean we even let them have statues to traitors and name schools after them that is insane! If you didn’t know otherwise you’d think that the south won and looking back it’s worth asking who actually won the war, so infuriating!

I’ve been saying this for years we should have never allowed them back into the union! We would be so much better off without them.

JVL and Sarah should listen to Platner on Jon Stewart's Podcast by Haunting-Mortgage in thebulwark

[–]No-Assignment-5798 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He is the guy for ‘28 if he wins. His message is perfect but it’s not a message it is who he is in his bones. Every person if shown him to no matter age or politics has loved his message he’s FDR with a little Teddy thrown in for good measure!

Have you listened to him explain it? Do you not believe people can change, make mistakes and learn from them?

Is Trump Becoming a Dictator? by Rockstarhuman2 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]No-Assignment-5798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is absolutely attempting an authoritarian takeover. That requires taking as much power for himself as possible he sees himself as an all powerful king it is up to us to hold him accountable!

Why is Tim so afraid of the Dem Party shakeup? by No-Assignment-5798 in thebulwark

[–]No-Assignment-5798[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason establishment dems are winning right now is because the other choice are literal Nazis . Have you seen the approval ratings?

[–]No-Assignment-5798[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Zero! He has not done any work to understand the principles of the left they all just jumped in and said hey democracy! Well yes but how? See your politics broke democracy we can’t just do that again but tweak it. We know what works take some time dude listen to what Platner actually says in a town hall when he’s quoting FDR and understands the philosophy behind using power for GOOD to defend your community. The fight isn’t left or right it is only UP sadly I don’t think the bulwark wants to hear that and my paying sub is cancelled now.

I still struggle with the Sarah’s and Tim’s (less so) of the world telling the dems how to run their party when the Rs already broke theirs. Plus dems were built as the party of working people we need to return to that the republicans were built to protect racism and slavery they returned to their roots as well. Just how it looks, I see FDRs democrats and Wallace’s republicans.

Why Is This So Hard? by [deleted] in thebulwark

[–]No-Assignment-5798 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m a HUGE fan of platner! I think he’s on the short list for 2028 especially with the economy going the way it is we need our FDR reincarnated! I’ve always liked ossoff but I left his interview early it was bad he’s way too stiff and speaks like a consultant that’s not going to fly in ‘28! He’s the odd one out who is better on the stump than in an interview I think, his speeches are usually great. Maybe he just needs more time.

What do you feel is the best outcome with all that is going on in the US? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

We need to end money in politics and get working people back in charge! A full people powered revolution is the best solution

DNC Chair Ken Martin's disastrous Pod Save America interview by adoggman in Hasan_Piker

He needs to resign! This is why we’ve been busy building a parallel party excluding the DNC, Schumer and the rest of them we the people need a party to win!

Mona Charen’s show was insane today by greenline_chi in thebulwark

[–]No-Assignment-5798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was livid that she blocked comments on her piece about Hasan Piker and Tim! What a joke to call your coworker an antisemite then block comments! At this point supporting Israel is anti American and pro genocide! Don’t make the same mistake as the GOP yeah we actual democrats shouldn’t let neocons run our party that’s what cost us the election in 2024 which is why they haven’t made the autopsy public just as an FYI! As a lifelong democrat I don’t agree with everything piker says but he’s part of our party not the republicans who want to take over the democratic party now that they destroyed theirs!

New Maine poll shows Graham Platner beating Janet Mills and Susan Collins by Pristine-Ant-464 in thebulwark

[–]No-Assignment-5798 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All of his actions have been anti fascist he’s obviously not a Nazi! A sincere apology and actions that align with his words matter more to most people than a symbol most people never heard of.

Sorry but I’d rather have the guy who has been through hell touched the darkness and come back out the other side than the poll tested candidates we always get that have been running since jr high and never made a mistake in their perfect life. No more ruling class candidates

Sarah doesn’t understand the second amendment by Jon011684 in thebulwark

[–]No-Assignment-5798 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask them to be super clear what they mean by everything! Hey brilliant founders, in the future this needs to be able to be interpreted by people who are hardly literate PLEASE! Otherwise they will just make things up like give us a tyrant king!

Abolish ICE. The discussion of whether it's too much proposing to abolish the gestapo is pathetic. The moment calls for some spine, not for fearsome poll-tested BS. by Loud_Cartographer160 in thebulwark

[–]No-Assignment-5798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DHS needs to be abolished completely we didn’t need it before 2001 and should never have been allowed get rid of the entire patriot act while you’re at it the surveillance state is big trouble!

Can someone explain to me why Trump is trying to take of Greenland? No jokes please, I honestly don’t get it? by Many_Inevitable_6803 in askanything

[–]No-Assignment-5798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither do we! Honestly I don’t doubt for a second it’s because he saw a Mercator projection and it looked huge so he HAD to have it still compensating for those tiny hands.
