    I don’t have a favorite politician. Anyone who would even want the job is trash. The fact that some are worse doesn’t get them shit from me.

      Bernie Sanders is all right. Not perfect, he pretended to give Israel the benefit of the doubt after october 7. Idk what would’ve happened if he told the truth right from the start, maybe he would’ve gotten kirked, kirk killed by Israel too by the way. In a way that certainly didn’t involve hitting him with that high powered thirty ought six rifle, which would’ve created a much more dramatic wound to his neck at that distance, as gun enthusiasts have demonstrated in presentations shooting that rifle at that distance at different objects to give us an idea. Think fist sized exit wound and hamburger.

      Israel wanted for nothing under Biden, whom did nothing to stop or slow their abuses, perfunctionary and meaningless gestures only. A fucking joke, and an insult to his base.

          That is just undeniably true. Also pedophiles, and those that cover for them. And tax cheats. Insider Traders. Both parties are filled with Pieces of Fucking Shit.

            Trump is something much worse though. His family is making billions creating a technocratic city on the bones of the children of gaza. He has bypassed congress and bought Israel a new fleet of fighter jets from Boeing and given them 8 billion dollars in new weapons since the beginning of this year.

      5 million files the justice department is holding that are unreleased, to say nothing of the redacted parts on the released stuff, 3 million pages total I read.

    I honestly think it’s weird how many people try to normalize being implicated in these crimes.

    It’s not normal. Not every person suddenly turns into such a horrible creature the moment they have an ounce of power or money. It can never be forgiven as just a part of the system, because it isn’t.

      I’m personally convinced every conservative are willing to let this go because deeply, they know they would do the same if given the chance. There is no redemption for these people, we need a revolution and a fresh start.

    Roger Stone is another one who has seemingly been doing everything he does out of pure malice all along. No sign of him in the files yet, despite being a genuine creep.

      It is odd. Meanwhile you have Michael Wolff advising Epstein like he is a buddy doing pro bono legal/PR work for him.

      Democratic Party values too this 2024, Harris campaigning with Liz Cheney in the Home Stretch. After spiting the actual left in every other way possible before that point, campaigning with LIz Cheney to really drive the point home. They are more conservative than George Bush Sr. Vote for us because the other guy is worse. As Schumer pointed out, for every one family in Philadelphia they lose, they will pick up two nazi families in the suburbs! Like his fictional family the Baileys, (it’s weird, he lies about this family he made up to justify playing to the right, even his fictional family (he insists they are real,) doesn’t vote for him though)

      But those middle of the road voters do not now and never have existed like that, you have to stoke your base. Republicans get that, they keep their base happy, they throw them bones, make concessions. The religious right always get concrete promises of things that will be done, it’s very quid pro quo.

      Democrats spite theirs in every way possible. Relying solely on the dumb that don’t know better than to believe them, and the vote against the other party reluctantly choosing them. Never enough to confortably win, not the least after Biden’s shit show, and no amount of yelling down anyone pointing out he had 40% approval for 3 years, and Harris never cracked 30% all term (so great pick to run unopposed,) was what we call unpopular. That despite their aversion to populism under the logic that they call the president a populist, the president is bad, therefore populism, and popular, bad, that we choose our leaders based on popular votes.

      It’s all so stupid, a cheap, arrogant, betrayal of working people, and the country, not realizing this isn’t 1990 but 1930. Maybe the indictments for false vote rigging allegations will wake them up. But without replacing them there is no viable path forward in truth. Harris campaigning with Liz Cheney in the home stretch is case and point for why these establishment types need to go. Total contempt for base, allegiance to the donors not the voters let alone the country they betray, and a complete misunderstanding of the situation, the electorate, and how this will all play out.

        Go away Hector. Stop bringing up fucking Democrats in discussions about republicans. Peddle your agitprop on ml where they’ll eat it up. And stop using your alts to upvote your bullshit, it’s pathetic.

          Rather stalkily too, no wonder everyone blocks you guys, you really don’t have anything interesting to say online if you go through checking my comments for ways to criticize me criticizing the democratic party. As a communist outside of the United States, it’s none of your business either even if you would like to see the US fail because you think it would be good for China and Russia.

      Yeah, it is sad that so many even here have been led to believe that all the files have been released.
