  • You want to consider both sides the same when they are not. Are Democrats perfect? No. Are they a better alternative? Yes. Setting aside the ongoing issue of Israel and Palestine and whether or not either state should exist (Hint: it’s likely neither, but Israel does have a more historical claim), the issue WITHIN AMERICA is that Trump and his cronies want to install a slew of right wing fascists into positions of power WITHIN AMERICA. Yet stupid assholes like you want to concern yourself with whats going on in a foreign country when shit is going bad right here. Get your head out of your ass.








  • Too many people in this thread think they know better about the average voter. Most Americans don’t actually give a shit about politics. It’s getting them to care is the problem. Most people in the USA are too fucking stupid for their own good. Most of the people in this thread are too sensitive to realize they are part of the problem. Arab Americans aren’t directly responsible for Trump’s win but they contributed to it by holding out their votes on a single issue. If both candidates were literally the same as each other besides their stance on Gaza then I can see the logic of not voting for one over the other or abstaining. This was not the case. Most of you trying to act like Harris should have come out and promise to personally stop the genocide don’t realize that the Jewish population in America controls more money, power and influence than the Arab vote. So both sides are going to go out of their way to support Israel. You pearl clutchers don’t get this.

  • The only thing tariffs do is raise the price of imported and exported goods. The intent behind that is to encourage domestic production of a given good. However, we largely do not have domestic production of many, many, many different goods in the USA. So the primary outcome is going to be a decade or more of much higher prices for literally every single kind of consumer, business or industrial grade electronic device or good. It’s terrible for the economy. It will lead to a record recession or even a depression. Tariffs do not punish the target country. They punish Americans attempting to buy from those countries. This means new start-ups and new businesses will not be able to afford things from third-party manufacturers in China.


  • Well, the better approach would be to stop courting so-called “corporate” democrats and actually make a true Progressive People’s Party. No one will do it cause no one understands that in order to succeed this People’s Party would have to be a simultaneously centralized and yet de-centralized party. No one person can lay claim to leadership in this party. Too much centralized power and you have corruption.

    Essentially we need to bring back or attempt to resurrect the Workers & Poor People’s Party. The best way forward is riding on true progressive policies that at their core counter-act the effects of things like Project 2025.

    No one will do it though. Current so called “leftists” are too afraid to get their hands dirty or to fight fire with fire when it comes to actually arguing or debating the idiotic cretins that helped put Trump and his cronies into power. If every single working class voter banded together and actually supported each other. Then we could get REAL people elected and not just another dipshit with some random law school MBA as their only life experience or education.

    Real people with real experiences need to lead us.

    Anyone else is just going to take advantage in some way.


  • They literally had their supporters burn drop-off ballot boxes and destroy ballots. They literally intimidated other voters. They harassed poll workers and volunteers whose entire purpose is to ensure everyone who is eligible to vote has everything they need in order to do so. Yet no one is batting a fucking eye. THESE FUCKERS STOLE THE ELECTION. 15 million less votes than what Biden got and Trump got about the same as he did when he ran before. This stinks of interference.
