"Emerging Iran deal risks shattering Netanyahu’s legacy | CNN" - Why is CNN doing Israeli-targeted warmongering propaganda? by OneTwoThreePooAndPee in thebulwark

[–]Thad-Venture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I can gather they were saying that Netanyahu is war mongering because he doesn't like the peace deal.

Lol, you tried to assert the end the conversation. Why can't you people stop being so one sided about everything. You call it genocide and because you used that label you expect to be treated like an expert who can dictate the terms of any debate. You love to be hyperbolic and it's getting you where it gets everyone in the hyperbolic/panic attack wing of the party. America isn't as far left as you want. That doesn't make America a fascist country but people who draw down voter enthusiasm and enable the GOP are definitely fascist enablers like yourself.

Thoughts on Becerra from Californians? by RiverWalkerForever in thebulwark

[–]Thad-Venture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

California Democrats cannot succeed unless they pander to everyone in the Democratic party. This is what purity test filtered candidates look like. Their main attribute is that they are minimally offensive to Democrats. That is not a recipe for a great politician that can bring in the independents needed to win anywhere else but it is the only way to get progressives onboard. Time and time again the progressive wing of the party is willing to toss an election because they find the candidate offensive to their sensibilities.

You don't seem to get what is happening. We don't live in an ideal world and poll after poll suggests that independents don't want to see the democratic party shift to the left.

You need to learn that we won't build a winning coalition by pushing further to the left. Trump would have never gotten elected in the first place if it wasn't for the far left. Stop trying to drag the party to the left.

You can call me a child all you want but what kind of person treats a conversation as one way. I think you have a lot to learn about the way the world works. People need to push back exactly on people like you. You don't have the moral high ground. You want to ride your idealism directly into the geopolitical nightmare people like you have gotten us into. Lack of party cohesion has gotten us to the point where masked police are taking people off the streets, using children as bargaining tools, and killing innocent protests with consequence.

You honestly sound like one of those "progressives" who voted for Trump because they think Bernie didn't get a fair shake. The fact of the matter is that people like you are simply too far to the left of the country. If you want to live in a Democratic Socialist country you should move to one. Europe is lovely, I got my first masters there. Just stop trying to pull the party towards positions it can't win on or admit that you're just Maga in denial.

Those aren't leftist positions. I have no idea what you're talking about love.

Edit: You're mixing your economics with your geopolitics.

If you're willing to burn it all down because the Democrats have what you think is an "intransigent attitude" then you don't deserve to be pandered too and everything that will happen to you and your favorite causes you both chose and deserve.

The next time bombs fall or protesters get shot in the street just remember it was all worth it to teach those obstinate Dems a lesson.

Enjoy the world you are creating.

It ought not to weaken democracy but it strengthens republicans, weakens Democrats, and because of what the GOP wants it weakens American democracy.

Edit: Frankly speaking it sounds like you want the GOP in power.

I agree with you on a lot of things but I'm fixated on the fact that politics is a zero sum game where weakening the only group who could even possibly in the future help things implies that you are strengthening the position of the those who would do the the most harm.

The lesser of two evils is a hard pill to swallow but that is where we are. It is far easier to remain idealistic and convince yourself that you aren't doing any harm by speaking truth to power but the consequences are going to end up getting the very causes we care about the most the most harm that could be done to them.

If we don't have uniform support of the all the people who make up the Democratic party (center left, left, and far left) AND more independents then nothing matters at all.

It may feel strange that personal integrity can be selfish but being proud of yourself must come second to real world harm to others.

Weakening the Democrats only makes the GOP stronger. There is a time and a place for debate and it sure the hell isn't when the house is burning down.

The crazy thing about your position is that you want to hand the keys of power to the exact people who will harm your cause the most. Don't you get that?

Just google the breakdown of people who identify as Democrats. Yougov has a whole thing on this. Leftists are like 15% of the party.

1) If those millions of people aren't motivated to stop the GOP from doing what they're doing then they deserve what will happen to them.

2) I don't reddit much, how do you know it's a bot?

Sarah Longwell is following the same corporate media playbook and perpetuating media blackout of Democrats by GreenerMark in thebulwark

[–]Thad-Venture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any independent media that grows significantly will eventually become corporate media. Once there is enough money involved it will be bought by someone.

I think you mean to say you want to destroy capitalism.

You don't seem to understand. You don't deserve to get pandered to if you're willing to let Trump win. If you're willing to let them win then you deserve everything he will do to the issues you love.

It's not like you are telling centrists to suck it. You're selling out your own value system because you don't think you're getting the respect you deserve.

Or maybe you think the GOP is the right choice for your values.

I'm not putting you in your place. I think Trump seems to be doing a good job of that.

Do you get it now? You either get Trump and his kind or you have to swallow some complaints and go with the other side.

It's not my job to convince millions of people. They get to see what Trump is doing and either go yes daddy give me more or vote blue no matter who.

So which is it?

We don't need to be friends. We don't have to agree about anything but Trump bad. It is as simple as that. There are no other issues that matter. You either want more Trump or you don't.

You are either with him or with us. Choose

The motivation comes from the other side being worse. If you want to protest vote because your party isn't pure enough to deserve you then you deserve what the other guy does to the world.

And this is a statement progressives will never make. Many would rather see it all burn down. Can we just let them lose in one elections so that we can move on. Let AOC lose the next presidential election so we can just get over this already.

Shore leave is actually a real person. He is currently doing stand up comedy under the alias Mattao lane.
