I've always thought the best way to think of the US is as a representative oligarchy, but now it seems we're transitioning to full oligarchy.

The funniest part of this is that basically no one ever watched the previous inaugurations anyways. It's like, "you know this thing I've never been interested enough in to watch? Well now I'm not watching it out of protest! Take that fascism!" 😂

It needs to be more widely known that the largest critics of Zionism were other Jews. The Jewish religion teaches that the Messiah will lead them back to Israel, and the recreation of Israel in 1948 was seen as a way to "force" the arrival of the Messiah, which was seen as sacrilegious to many.

6) Let's not forget that while this was happening in Gaza, Israel had been murdering civilians in the West Bank (where Hamas does not even exist). They have been doing this for literally decades, and they will not stop.

5) Even though a ceasefire is desperately needed, it is not the end of the story, Israel will continue murdering Palestinians and stealing their land through the use of internationally illegal settlers.

4) During the Iranian hostage crisis, Regan's campaign called the Iranian government and told them not to release the hostage yet, so Regan could take credit for it.

3) Trump had previously called Netanyahu and allegedly told him not to agree to anything until he was about to take office. I think the fact that suddenly it is being accepted, and Trump is largely getting credit, is further proof of this allegation.

2) No changes have been made to this deal, so all the excuses Israel made for not accepting it are obviously BS.

1) Hamas had already agreed to this same deal, quite a while ago, it is Israel that was refusing it.

I never again want to hear someone say "single payer healthcare takes away your choices", because that is delusional bs. In fact capitalism, in general, only offers superficial choices, and without regulation even those choices disappear over time.

In fact today, in our current system in the USA, an insurance company chooses your doctors, medications, and treatments. And you basically don't even have a choice between health insurance companies.

To be specific, the Democratic establishment (which is made up of liberals). In both cases, Democrats and Republicans, the establishment is completely out of touch with their voting base. But at least liberal voters realize that and are critical. Republicans are delusional about their party.

To be frank Kamala didn't lose because of money and ads. In the beginning of her campaign, when she was doing the best in all the polls, she was campaigning on things like fighting price gouging and first time home buyer tax credit. Then she shifted her entire campaign to the f***ing Cheneys.

I thought that might be the case, but couldn't be sure. Unfortunately that is actually used as an argument against socialism frequently, and it's super frustrating, lol.

Fascism is inherently opposed to socialism. The Nazis simply shoehorned the word "socialism" into their title because it was popular. This is a common tactic used in politics. In fact the origin of "anti fascists" were socialists and communists rebelling against Nazis.
