don’t threaten the current power structure
That’s a really funny way of saying, “Don’t work with and aid the country literally invading in a war of national survival”

If a similar coup were to happen to Zelenskyy, do you think protestors would not be shot?
If you paid attention to Ukrainian politics any beyond the war you would know that protests in Ukraine have continued throughout the entirety of the war., that Union’s and other NGO’s that don’t cooperate with Russia still function unhindered by the government, and that all non-Russian sponspred opposition parties still function legally.
But please tell me how that compares to Russia where all opposition to the government has been crushed, and where it’s literally illegal to be gay publicly.
I’m perfectly aware of that, which is why you have to look at material conditions.
“revolution of dignity”
Is what Ukrainians called it after countless of them were murdered by police in the streets and they successfully ran their Pro-Putin dictator out of the country. Seethe harder fascist.
Lmfao stfu Tankie.
It’s a “coup” when I dislike it, and a glorious revolution when I do. /s
Zionists are not following Judaism. If you ask jewish people living in occupied Palestine
A majority of Jews in the U.S. and globally also support the existence of Israel.
I may be on that side of the pond next year if the elections here are going the way they sound like they’re going, I am trying to get as versed as I can in contemporary UK politics, so I appreciate the information.
I’m in the exact same boat, lol. Just been paying attention since the train wreck that was Liz Truss.
But couldn’t that be a sign that the Tories have completely fractured, so many of the hard right Tories went over to Reform?
Yes definitely, but that’s still a problem, I doubt the Tories would be willing to keep failing electorally just because of Reform.
Some of the far-right Tories like Rees-Mogg have said they think they basically need to copy Reform to win back those voters, possibly even absorbing them into the conservative party, and Farage seems very willing to do that.
By the amount of seats it wasn’t very good, still more than most polls thought they would get though.
But by vote share, and the amount of constituencies where they came in second place, the threat is much worse.
I’m hardly responsible if the majority of or the leadership of The Party don’t align with my views. It is they who have failed us, not the other way around.
Like I said, you’re not responsible for their current policies, that would be the Democratic voter base of 30 years ago, but you’re responsible for not trying to vote them out and writing off the entire fucking party as the same.
Have fun feeling politically nihilistic and irrelevant though, it sure worked for the CPUSA, the SPA, the SWP and every other third partyist of the past 100 years.
absolutely no say in the matter
You can keep shoving your head in the sand or research and confirm what I’ve been saying is the truth, that candidates are nominated by candidate choice, signatures, and then a primary vote. Up to you.
Your continued support of the familiar means they’ll never change.
Lmfao, yeah? Can I ask how long you’ve been involved in politics? Or how much you know about American domestic political history?
The Democratic Party and Klu Klux Klan Venn Diagram a century ago would’ve been essentially a circle, with some weird progressives like Roosevelt on the sidelines. The past century of American political conflict has been one of the Democrats slowly solidifying around socially left issues and the Republicans doing the opposite, solidifying around the right. Both Parties found an economically left wing New Deal consensus after the squabbling of great depression recovery, which lasted basically until Reagan and the creation of a Neoliberal consensus.
That’s all to say that the Parties have changed massively over the past 100 years, the Democrats completely switched their position on social and economic issues.
I have been pushing for my part of the Democratic party to be more economically and socially liberal for a decade now, and even in that short time I’ve noticed immense changes in what the party is willing to accept. A decade ago, rent control advocacy would’ve had city level Democratic officials criticizing me, and now Biden, a moderate, is advocating for it in debates and in speeches.
The Overton window of the Democratic Party has never been stagnant. It has trended solidly left on almost everything for a century, and you’d have to be ignorant or bad faith to not recognize that.
regardless of who puts forth the candidate
That’s the thing, though, no one “puts forth” a candidate except the candidate themselves, parties will sometimes reach out to activists or local party officials for local or state office nominations, but Federal office candidates are almost always decided by candidates themselves getting signatures and putting their name forward.
You’re no more responsible for the failures of the party than party establishment officials at the DNC, and likely quite less responsible, but you are responsible for writing off the party as a whole, and thereby abandoning the about 50% of the party that wants to take it in a progressive/anti-capitalist direction.
You know registered Democratic voters pick the nominee, not the DNC, correct?
If you want someone like Bernie to win, you have to fight with the establishment over the Democratic voterbase, and the Bernie campaign never succeeded in winning over the majority of the Democratic voterbase. You can argue this is because the majority of the endorsements and media were on Hillary’s side, but that was inevitable, you can’t just expect your internal Party opponent to roll over, you have to build up an opposing powerbase within the party and media.
Seems like a lot of socialists and progressives got too disenchanted from Bernie losing to ever accept that, though.
Russia’s built ~16 of these Karakurt-class ships since 2018 lol.
Meanwhile the Netherlands alone has 24, and the U.S. has over 600.
Russia’s high tech side of their military industrial complex is incredibly weak compared to the old USSR days, and even their low tech side is struggling.
Haiti already warned of America wanting to use Kenya’s military to invade Haiti before they did it.
What? The government of Haiti literally requested support from Kenya, which was approved by the UN. What you’re saying is almost the complete opposite of what actually happened.
At least 1 month ago I recall seeing articles about it.
Maybe stop reading articles that are for some reason supportive of the drug and sex trafficking gangs that have caused the most recent collapse of Haiti?
Isn’t that list almost everything though? I can’t think of one reform or law we could pass that wouldn’t feel like it came too late.
Doesn’t mean they’re not worth fighting for, or that we shouldn’t celebrate them when they pass.
Yeah the recoil is much weaker on those and there’s no muzzle flash, and certain cinematic shots just can’t be done with them like they could with an actual gun.
The moment who is waiting for exactly?
If a massive amount of people wanted the government to change policy? I already answered that.
Or went the extra step of wanting Zelensky to step down?
He would most likely do so, however it’s unlikely that’ll happen, unless Ukrainians decided they wanted the government to fight even harder, the only politician that polls better than Zelensky in Ukraine is a very pro-war general.
