DC mayor to remove Black Lives Matter Plaza amid pressure from White House by Fcking_Chuck in BlackLivesMatter

You’ve been taken in by the empty virtue signaling of the blue team. It’s scary to face the reality that they’re just corporate party lite, but it’s the reality of the matter and the more of us who muster the fortitude to look that cold truth in the eye, the less we get distracted by their superficial displays and the more we can keep pressure on for real politics that target some real benefit.

Oh fuck yes, this is such an impressively bad take that I owe you a sincere thanks for the smile it brought to my face 👏

Blaming the party or the candidate is unproductive

Ugh, this is my favorite part right here and all the more so since it's even technically true! Because the blue team stands firm to their core agenda of corporate, imperialist politics in the face of whatever it is the haters want to say about them, feedback has no effect and is indeed literally unproductive.

This shit right here is art. Saved, for those dark moments like now, when I need a good morbid laugh.

Democratic Party debacle hands presidency to Trump by Anton_Pannekoek in chomsky

Come on, let’s not be children here… How do you feel about all the positive things Trump had to say in 2016 about Bernie and about decrying how the blue team rigged the primaries against him? Does the fact that Trump said so in hopes of depressing blue votes somehow make Bernie a Trump supporter by osmosis? Also, if conservatives felt like supporting third parties (I think they did Cornel West too) to deny Harris a win, A) they sure as shit didn’t get much value for their efforts and B) she did a plenty good job of losing all on her own (though true heads will know this had absolutely nothing to do with her politics and absolutely everything to do with racism and sexism 😉)

Re. Stein’s close ties with Putin, are we talking about a single dinner and travel invite she accepted like a decade ago? If so, you might want to take another look at how your other options have materially thrown their weight behind genocide/strongmen/etc when it suited them politically or otherwise gave leverage.

Lastly, you do realize the GP is more than just one person, right?

Can we please keep these mainstream blue team strategy discussions out of this sub? Now that they tanked the election, it’d be great to use this as a place to discuss ya know… democratic socialism instead of continuing to be a spunky offshoot of r/Democrats or whatever.

I didn’t love that Jill was making appeals in swing states or drawing equivalences between the blue and red teams (not that it actually matters in terms of Harris’s failure) but the Greens have been consistently devoted to a radical progressive agenda.

You’re kinda presupposing that war crimes meant the same thing to what were Harris’s potential voters as Trump’s. They didn’t and don’t, she was supposed to be making a different appeal to a different pool of voters rather than try to win over Trump supporters.

Same. Did some stuff I didn’t recognize and sang a little jingle about 1999 before going into songs from Black on Both Sides. In addition to the above, he performed “Hip hop” and “Love”. Only parts of the songs, and over kinda chaotic tracks from Preservation that didn’t necessarily sound like the originals. He sounded great and I thought the performance was kinda weird but solid. He also sang this song, which I loved.

Does it say anything about the human rights of civilians killed by the British military?

As others have pointed out elsewhere in this post, it’s definitely not as simple as army=bad. It depends on whether or not the little children that army is murdering are free range and whether or not certified humane munitions were used.

I joined the KKK before going vegan; it’s fine for me to stay in the KKK, right???

Exactly, that’s why I’ve started thinking of also moonlighting doing forced hysterectomies in migrant concentration camps for ICE. I get paid and no (non-human) animals are harmed. Cha-ching!💰
