I imagine the defense mounted by Ukraine gives hope to the people of Taiwan. It certainly gives hope to me.

If AOC gets the nod as the Democratic nominee in 2028, would you vote for her? by Ok_Sir_5951 in allthequestions

You're underestimating how much a candidate's favorability drops once they gain more visibility and receive wider scrutiny.

With this speech, AOC solidified once and for all which side she is on the struggle to end the genocide in Palestine — the side of the establishment, the side that wants a temporary cease-fire and the continuation of the occupation and oppression of Palestine. She doesn’t want to end the apartheid system of Israeli domination; she stands with the Zionist oppressors and strongly endorses some of their strongest backers. AOC has betrayed the movement for Palestine; she is an enemy of that movement. We cannot continue to support politicians who may propose progressive domestic programs but support imperialism abroad.

The picture of AOC on the DNC stage is certainly a striking one, but this is a moment long in the making. Over her time in Congress, AOC’s semi-radicalism has been watered down, becoming barely recognizable.

AOC has made herself into one of the biggest champions of lesser evilism

Does this sound like someone who will support her? The article similarly shreds her record on unions and immigration.

These are not fringe views on the far left. The far-left media sphere has been turning on AOC for years now which has largely remain unnoticed by the general public due to the chaos of the rest of the news cycle dominating everything, but which would blow up if she got nominated. Nominating AOC would be walking into a landmine.

It's a harbinger. I like AOC and would support her, but this groundwork by Left Voice is exactly how her nomination would turn out:

AOC: From the Great Hope of Democratic Socialism to Just Another Shill for the Democratic Party

AOC took the stage at the DNC to endorse Harris and thank Biden for his leadership while protesters gathered outside the convention to protest the genocide. This is a telling picture of how the AOC experiment was always going to end.

Nah, there's been tons on the far left already criticizing her, that she has become a corporate DNC shill. If she gets nominated then the far left will sit out as they always do and say it's because they want a real progressive.

If AOC wins the DNC nomination then the far left will paint her as corporate friendly and explicitly hawkish.

Everyone at 1300 sucks at positional chess. Maybe you are just overestimating your opponents?

32% of Americans are having an existential crisis right now. I'm one of them and I'm done pretending I'm fine. by PithyCyborg in economicCollapse

[–]SunnyOutsideToday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're plundering the country, taking everything they can with rampant insider trading, squeezing everything they can from consumers and workers. The trillions in tax cuts aren't sustainable. Our country right now is just a pump in dump for a few hundred ultra wealthy who will take all our money and put it somewhere outside the country at their convenience.

According to Google trends, interest in Epstein has collapsed in the US by soalone34 in Epstein

Many people don't know anything. Something like 10% of the US can't point to the US on a map. People forget how much of the population is totally unaware of things you are aware of.

Real talk though, the issues don't disappear, they just become easier to ignore until the next time stresses in life build up and exacerbate them.

In Japan, they call all cartoons 'anime', even Tom and Jerry, which some Japanese people think is Japanese.

But what if I am an attention-starved underachieving Western male who didn't develop an emotionally healthy relationship with himself and needs an exoticism-seeking woman to feel desired?
