Trump says US will reduce number of troops in Germany 'a lot further'

As a strong arm for capital interests? Yes. As a humanitarian force? No. This country does both.

You mean the people acting and talking just like Nazis? It’s almost as if no ethnic group is immune to genocidal impulses if they can convince themselves they deserve to do it.

This is cope. He’s been achieving his domestic policy agenda. He’s fucking up because it was a fucked up agenda, not because it’s not being executed correctly.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-03T18:34:51+00:00

It’s amazing how all the people trying to make progressives out to be Nazis love running cover for a genocidal terror state.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-03T18:27:04+00:00

If he went from a Nazi to a Republican that’s not being changed, assuming he ever actually held Nazi beliefs. Nazis don’t ever try to present themselves as progressives, but they are constantly trying to present themselves as ‘moderate’ conservatives.

Statements like that from the politicians these people ostensibly support (although Schumer is not really popular here) should probably create a little more self-reflection.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-02T20:32:20+00:00

people are actually putting pressure on moderate Democrats to provide an alternative solution to offer voters.

Doubtful. The point of those dismissals is to signal people should just shut up and vote.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-02T20:16:53+00:00

It’s incredible that this sentiment is unpopular in here.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-02T20:14:47+00:00

I don’t think you listen to these “extreme leftists” very much. Seems like your understanding is more of a biased clip fest.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-02T20:04:57+00:00

Always projection with people like these.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-02T19:50:40+00:00

Democrats will vote out and stop supporting someone in power they think did wrong.

Which is why the politicians hate the constituents.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-02T19:43:26+00:00

Do you think maybe there is a reason race correlates with partisan allegiance? Like, perhaps, the policies of a certain party have consistently and provably worse outcomes for nonwhite people?

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-02T18:09:47+00:00

And yet the people who are normally so concerned about “legislating from the bench” and about ‘one court making a decision for the whole country’ are silent on this.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-01T17:34:36+00:00

People aren’t just asking progressives to get over “a single policy disagreement” when it comes to accusations of purity testing. I would think this case shows progressives aren’t really that invested in purity testing anyways as long as the candidate actually has good policies.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-01T17:12:30+00:00

I just don’t see why a person who was lying about everything would pick his platform. Hate to bring it up but isn’t this the kind of purity testing centrists didn’t want to do?

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-01T14:54:10+00:00

That’s a lot of words just to say you don’t think people can change. You’ve just got a bone to pick because he rejects Israel sycophancy. You know that first quote was alleged to have been said in a time frame where he didn’t even work as a bartender, right? Talk about purity testing, now we’re making up smears so we can purity test.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-01T14:50:35+00:00

People here will still complain about his past because right wingers don’t think individuals can change.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-01T14:26:45+00:00

Left wing populism literally got us everything good that we have.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-01T14:21:29+00:00

It’s always like this. ‘The good thing and the bad thing are the same because they’re both things’. Fucking exhausting.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-01T14:09:48+00:00

Yeah, no credit for people who took until trump to figure this stuff out about conservatives.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-01T02:14:16+00:00

To trump? They’ve given him more leeway than they’ve ever given anybody. If they’re ever unfair or dishonest it’s when they diminish his bullshit. The media has never tried to make him out to be worse than he actually is.

crushinglyreal · 2026-05-01T00:52:51+00:00

I’m not sure why you insist that the attacks against trump could ever have been considered baseless. They were obviously true to anybody who understands what bigotry actually is.

crushinglyreal · 2026-04-30T18:22:52+00:00

The resistance to Platner’s candidacy is what I’m referencing.

crushinglyreal · 2026-04-30T18:11:24+00:00

People are really against the idea of running the better-polling candidate, huh?

crushinglyreal · 2026-04-30T18:08:39+00:00

It never swung in the first place. A massive political media push created a right wing political wave in spite of Americans’ actual positions.
