  • That doesn’t matter at all. He won the primary with a grassroots campaign, so he doesn’t need their funding. Being in the blue/Working Families column will win the know-nothing vote in NYC.

    The key is for us to seek out the progressive on the primary ballot and vote. We shouldn’t be rewarding the candidates that have the financial means to find us in our living rooms. Sign up for mailers if you forget to vote. Sign up for mail-in ballots if you have an irregular schedule.

    You misunderstand. Our problem is our woefully uneducated population is inundated with misinformation on how our system works and propaganda to keep them too afraid to learn.

    In case my metaphor was too elusive for you, I was referring to Jill Stein. She only shows up as a spoiler candidate every four years, never runs for any other government office, and has a long history of meetings and dinners with Putin.

    If we’re speaking ideally, absolutely. All non-capitalists are forced to make concessions living in a capitalist nation. I’ve been left of the democrats since the 90s. I vote for the leftmost candidate that has a chance of winning the election. Unfortunately, that’s usually the Working Families Democrat.

    Who said I support genocidal fascists? You’re the one who threw their vote out instead of stopping the election of the genocidal fascist. I voted for the genocidal liberal, because I understand the concept of the lesser of two evils, and know how to leverage what little say I have in this horribly corrupt and broken system.

    A lot of good your moral superiority is doing for the Palestinians now, huh? Upgrading the 5-ton bombs to 10-tonners, with plans to pave over the West Bank for a billionaire resort.

    You really think that would’ve happened under Harris? Get real.

    Also, I don’t know what liberals you’re referring to. I’m a progressive.

    Are you for real?

    Trump repealed restrictions on Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory. Netanyahu was so grateful, he named a settlement after him in occupied Golan Heights. He also said Israel needs to “finish the job” and stop recording their atrocities because they’re “losing the PR war.”







  • I think it’s true. It’s a really fucked up story. She moved to Australia and advocated for women that had been through sex trafficking. Got married, had kids, then got divorced. She was emotionally unstable, so her husband put a restraining order on her.

    Then she got into an accident with a school bus. They said she just had minor injuries and was sent home. A few days later she went to the hospital with a backache, turns out she was in renal failure and had only days to live. Tried to see her kids one last time, but her husband said no, so she took her own life so she didn’t have to suffer any more.

    Poor, poor woman.
