Oi! You got a loisence for that banana?

There are enemies within the country; every worker’s interests are diametrically opposed to those of Jeff Bezos. A leader who pretends we’re all on the same side is siding with capital. Billionaires like Bloomberg understand that, hence why he spent hundreds of millions trying to stop the candidate who wanted workers to have healthcare.

“The election is important election ever, for real, thats why you have to vote for a rightwing ghoul instead of a candidate who can actually win” has been going on since Nixon.

I think they meant saying Russia interfered in the 2016 primary in support of the butcher of Libya is the loony take.

I am describing how electoral politics work. You have to promise to help the people whose votes you want and hurt their enemies. You can’t run on “well you owe me your vote because tHiS iS tHe mOsT iMpOrTaNt eLeCtiOn oF oUr liVeS”

Her messaging was “America is already great”, her policies were means-tested bullshit that anyone who’s gone their entire life not getting help understood wouldn’t apply to them. Hillary was the status quo candidate.

The fact that neither party wanted to release the files from the start tells us there’s powerful names in both parties.

I am saying she could have won if she moved left and promised to improve the material conditions the people she was asking to vote for her.

Moving right does not earn democrats republican votes, it only decreases their own turnout.

Even if she moved right of Trump she would have lost, median voter theory is horseshit.

As long as you don’t get a touring bike, most motorcycles don’t track you.

What heads of state sit on a throne in a big room where petitioners walk across to address them in 2025?

It’s also not that easy to get visas for decent places to live.

The American passport is incredibly strong, we get Visa On Arrival to Japan and Korea, 3 month e-visa for Vietnam, and the application is a pain in the ass, but americans get a 90 day/10 year tourist visa for China if you apply in America (but you have to be near one of the visa centers), and 60 day/10 year if you apply in Vietnam, Seoul, or Tokyo.

Back then, both in the US and the UK, the liberal philosophers of the times considered it an infringement on property rights to restrict the buying and selling of slaves. Liberalism: A Counter-History goes over the debates at the time.

I wonder if there’s any republicans who can be swayed with “hey this thing we all agreed was fucked up when dem-aligned media was doing it (pretending the very obviously pudding-brained president is mentally competent after like 2pm) is still fucked up when Fox and Newsmax does it right?”

I had zero luck moving Blue MAGA to question their media, I suspect republicans will simply conclude Fox is leftwing commie propaganda and watch more Infowars or w/e

Is there though? If a society is trying to murder every one of a particular race because it thinks its necessary and justified for superior races to dominate lesser races, I’m not sure minute differences in underlying philosophy are all that important, if existant.

They did have genocide, racism, and antisemitism though.

Authoritarian is a meaningless term.

They tell themselves the people deserve it.

The first pm of Israel was a genocidal terrorist. This is the status quo for states built on genocide.
