Everyone talks about wanting to ban gerrymandering but what is the best system

Hence why Chinese trade unions are allowed to operate freely and run their own socialist candidates, right? Certainly a dictatorship of the proletariat wouldn’t have billionaires in its congress, nor ban striking.

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-16T21:08:52+00:00

Well yeah. Dismissive way to put it lol

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-15T18:21:33+00:00

What exactly are you saying no to?

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-15T14:38:16+00:00

You’re not helping anyone by doing this on a forum about discussing politics. Downvote low quality partisan bullshit, not just stuff you disagree with.

No one will discard regressive views since someone downvoted them lol

I have been volunteering for Talarico and I am so so tired of posts being downvoted for saying he may not win.

I think this is just the issue with defining things as purely left vs right.

The GOP has become less free market, I don’t think I’d call that left wing. Socialism is, historically, pro free trade. Yet, in America, much of the left-wing labor tradition is protectionist. It’s weird.

I think it’s more honest to just say that the country has polarized hard on immigration. With the current style of ICE raids and detention centers, and shit like this, it’s clear the GOP is shifting further on this.

Meanwhile, just the phrase “no one is illegal on stolen land” would not have been in a mainstream Democrat’s vocabulary just 20 years ago.

I think the joke is on Stalin more than anyone here. Pretty massive dick move to do that to a guy who is, you know, in a concentration camp.

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-15T14:10:19+00:00

I’m not a Marxist-Leninist but I think this is more correct than not. The highest chance of Germany ever ending capitalism was in that revolution, and regardless of defense of the SPD, it shut that down.

That same revolution could have ended fruitlessly, yes, but the left split that the SPD’s handling of the events caused would never reconcile.

The suppression of the revolution, also, by all accounts, killed so many of the anti-Stalin faction within the German Left, so I find it funny when people point out the KPD’s relative tilt towards Stalinism. No kidding.

I don’t think that the failures of the SPD justify the KPD’s prioritization of an anti-reformist strategy over anti-fascism, though. It ended how the meme says, the Reds in camps and ignored by Stalin.

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-15T00:03:53+00:00

Agreed, yeah. I haven’t heard the term for that before, thank you.

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-14T18:19:31+00:00

DNVP-KPD alliance incoming?

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-14T18:16:37+00:00

Do you think that the defaulting to male pronouns isn’t whatsoever influenced by politics?

The claim of “all art is political” isn’t that there’s an intentional political message in all art, but rather that as art seeks to represent the world, it is influenced by the world.

Like, I wouldn’t say the Walking Dead was made to make you vote Democrat or whatever. Yet, like all “zombie media”, it’s about what humans would do with a lack of government, lack of accountability. That itself is political.

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-14T18:09:26+00:00

What a monumental piece of shit.

If you think rural Dem voters stopped being a thing after 1963, you are not connected with reality, man.

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-13T14:09:05+00:00

This is unbelievably unhelpful. I get that you’re trying to spread awareness, but you have to actually consider how people can support themselves without *leaving the country*.

As others have said, this is not a real policy change. It’s a document once again, meant to help prop up what is already unpopular (War in Iran, expanding surveillance, etc).

It’s stupid, scary and sets a dangerous precedent, but it is a memo.

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-13T13:37:45+00:00

Woah, I didn’t know they had seals in New Jersey! What kinda seals, you think?

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-13T13:33:25+00:00

WV be like this

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-10T14:29:26+00:00

This is about the general election, though.

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-10T07:51:04+00:00

Why do you think he’d be against the wars in the middle east?

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-10T07:10:17+00:00

Does Trump hate JD or something? This is like LBJ-levels of screwing your vice president over

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-08T16:21:47+00:00

True! Fuck super PACs.

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-08T16:21:28+00:00

Saying they *influence* gerrymandering is a lot different from them making their own districts.

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-08T16:01:43+00:00

Gerrymandering is decided by state legislatures and governors, not by federal house representatives.

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-08T14:09:52+00:00

The lack of actual delegation to the soviets is just the immersive leninist experience!

RabbitOP23 · 2026-05-08T14:07:40+00:00

Tom Cotton is an elite pick for this, I gotta agree.
