    The man is out here talking shit and won’t show you evidence of why he’s right because it’s not his job to be a teacher and also you are disrespectful in your challenging of his assertions, am I following you correctly?

    The reason for no evidence is because there is no evidence, the reason for my disrespect is because i know he has no evidence. Don’t try to pretend like if i came at this from a different angle he’d suddenly be opening the library of Alexandria for us.


  • The democratic party shares most of the blame, but those that withheld their vote exhibited extremely poor strategy which have made their positions and the position of everyone they claim to care about much much worse.

    They surrendered what little influence they had. Instead of trying to grow their power like evangelicals in the 70s, they chose to give up and hope that the results are so horrific it creates a left-wing backlash that can sweep in and fix everything.

    Hope is not a strategy, and the most likely outcome is what little progress the American left has made over the last 30 years will be completely undone and we will spend the rest of our lives trying to get back to where we were in 2014.

    They’re stupid, well-meaning, idiots.

    Did they take his name off the ballot?

    Did they change the vote totals?

    Did they forbid him from campaigning?

    They just ‘put their thumbs on the scales’? What does that even mean? They did ‘everything they could to lock him out of the process’ while letting him campaign and participate in the process? All your examples are vague as fuck, bro.

    That’s literally just politics. Apply the same logic to the recent french elections where competing left-wing candidates dropped out to not split the vote.

    Nothing was stopping Bernie from making a deal with Amy and Pete to stay in the race to keep the centrist vote split











  • Biden and the Dems saved the teamsters’ pensions against the GOP’s best efforts and it didn’t even earn them an endorsement from the teamsters’ union.

    This was highly publicized, especially if you yourself were in the union

    Internal polling of Teamsters members showed:

    • In an electronic poll conducted after the Republican National Convention, 59.6% of rank-and-file Teamsters favored endorsing Trump, while 34% supported Harris.

    • A more recent poll indicated a similar trend, with Teamsters backing Trump 58% to 31%

    Having the backs of labor and the working class amounted for jack shit in actual results for dems.

    You know why? Because these teamsters spend two hours a day sitting in a car listening to right-wing radio jockeys telling them how Democrats are only interested in policing their language and getting them in trouble for flirting with women.
