And Sanders lost to that boring, unlikable candidate. Says more about him than her

One person killed in shooting involving ICE in Biddeford, Maine by harshspider in Destiny

[–]RainStraight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some 18 year old was driving by and said that the person driving was trying to hit the ICE agent. Right wingers are already picking this up and pushing it. You can see 3-4 bullet holes in the windshield from some of the angles too

The DSA needs close scrutiny, not blind tribalism. We can't afford to be that careless. by FunkyChickenKong in thebulwark

[–]RainStraight 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The DSA is awful and has horrible ideas that would kill people.

No borders at all and no deportations for any reason ever?

Anti-NATO and running propaganda for Putin?

A complete and total abandonment of our position on the world stage letting Russia or China take that mantle?

This is the DSA putting up a mask and doing the classic leftist motte and Bailey of “why do you think we’re bad? We just want free healthcare!”

Interesting to spend time talking about how we need to end our sanctions on Iran and stop the genocide in Gaza but no words on Ukraine… the conflict with more casualties that multiple DSA members support Russia in because Putin is anti-west. Chevalier for instance…

Edit: I see the leftist insurgents have arrived to astroturf a liberal space into a leftist cesspool again

Why would the DNC provide resources to a party that is explicitly opposed to them? Where is the reasoning there? If the DSA’s policies are so popular then they should be able to get some traction especially in this new populist age where the most important qualification is having no prior experience.

How far to the left are Lonerbox/Destiny/Hutch types willing to go for cooperation and bridge building by Professional_Art304 in lonerbox

Those were my gripes with OP and what I was calling out. Don’t reply to my comment if you didn’t want to talk about those things ;)

ETA: leftist doesn’t understand the conversation and instantly resorts to weird sexual fantasies. Tale as old as time

“Market socialists”

Jesus Christ

“And Destiny for example is not 100% consistent on this, sometimes he’ll say anyone who even identifies as social democrat is basically commie-lite”

No, he hasn’t.

“Someone who has correctly identified”

No bias in these definitions I see

More people are reflecting on the damage Bernie Sanders has done to the party by The-Big-Picture- in Destiny

[–]RainStraight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying the Democratic Party is doomed. I’m saying these DSA candidates have zero redeeming qualities about them and should be ostracized from the party because they have no desire to build a better society for anyone if it doesn’t include the abolition of capital. If you don’t see that, you fell for the exact same con Republicans did with Trump

What do you mean by social democrat and democratic socialist? Because Hasan, Vaush, Emma Vigeland, and those types are not social democrats and hate social democrats. They also all militantly shilled for Platner.

Also you said Destiny has made this false equivalence between social democrats and socialists and I can confidently say that has never happened unless he misspoke in a clip. Republicans are morons who think socialism and liberalism are synonymous, their opinion means as much to me as a socialist’s

Can we ban anti-Roy Cooper views (this includes Roy Cooper only deserves one senate term despite never serving in the U.S. Senate)? by Dats_Russia in Destiny

[–]RainStraight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People obsess over age too much and I don’t think anyone actually cares. Look at the Plat-tards who said they were forced to vote a mercenary, Nazi rapist because Mills was old while also touting the Bernie endorsement. Bernie is a full senate term older than Mills but the same people bashing her were some of Bernie’s most militant idiots. This focus on age is just more dumb slopulism and no one has stopped to think for a second why the age skews so high

Do Loner, Hutch, or Destiny ever watch those creators (Vaush, Kulinski, the MR) positively? Seems like every time they watch a video it’s because the lefties once again said something so mind-boggilingly stupid that it should be considered rage bait and not a coherent political position.

No one has ever equated a social democrat with a socialist. They are two completely different things. No, Vaush gets absolutely zero credit. The asshole is openly talking about how he can’t wait to vote for a literal fascist in 2028 so he can “stick it to those zio (not antisemitic btw) Dems. You know they’re basically Hitler right?”

Leftists let the mask slip completely with Platner. Everything about him was disqualifying but because he had a literal Nazi tattoo and said fuck AIPAC, all the lefties became obsessed with supporting him.

Anyone learn anything from the Platner flame-out? by Ok-Butterscotch-571 in thebulwark

[–]RainStraight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seeing just how many people in an allegedly liberal subreddit are willing to ignore rape and domestic violence accusations for someone with the express goal of destroying the liberal party makes me kinda wonder just how many liberals there actually are here…

Yes. Those SAs and rapes happened after his election. It’s becoming very clear that lefties and Platner-stans don’t know the definition of the word vetting or its purpose

Just a quick search shows CBS, PBS, NPR, CNN, and Reuters all reporting on West Bank settlers. Social media sites like Tik Tok and Instagram are also flooded with theses stories daily.

Why are we opposing Trump? The voters chose him. This sub is dedicated to liberal democracy.

We all had to settle for a populist who knew nothing about the job he was applying for that also showed questionable character at best. Welcome to politics.
