no one who's ever been stressed about paying next month's rent has to ask these questions, as the answers are fairly obvious
also, “politics is bottom/top not left/right” might work as a slogan but is shit as analysis. who is the bottom? who is the top? who constitutes an “elite” and who belongs to “the people?” these are important questions that have to be answered.

if I'm following lib logic here: not okay to protest Kamala while she's VP because that helps Trump, and it's not okay to protest after the election because Trump is in power, not her. I'm curious about the secret time window when it's okay to protest a VP or ex-VP for their role in a genocide?

really can't stand the way this smug, chin-stroking dork talks about an ongoing genocide. "mmmm, gee, it shocks the conscience but it is profoundly complicated...mm" bloodless, inhumane ghoul.
"How do you think the next administration should handle our relationship with Israel? Do you think it should change based on what Netanyahu has done the last several years? "
"Netanyahu can't be the only voice or kind of the only compass for what should happen in the US-Israel relationship."

all the footage of eulogies for IDF soldiers is their wife being like “he loved blowing up houses. The last time I saw him he said he couldn’t wait to get back to Gaza so he could kill more children. He wrote me a letter that said ‘what I’m doing is genocide and I find it fun.’”

quick question, who overthrew Pol Pot
if it weren't for those dastardly capitalists I'm sure Pol Pot would have been a normal cool guy
I actually think many people realize that it's global capitalism and imperialism that played a huge factor in the killing fields (including the obvious one currently) and that they will gladly bring them back to defend capital which is kinda why they're willing to struggle to move past this system.

Uh, Republicans control the house and senate, do you expect Democrats can just wave a magic wand and not praise ICE and advise people to help them
These 75 Democrats joined Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE agents and call for greater local and state collaboration with ICE.
