A lot of those r’s are worse so you have to pretend d’s are acceptable types are influence agents, working for both sides ironically as r aligned groups help keep beatable candidates to face them. There are plenty of dupes too but a significant percent are agents of monied interests. Ie mechanized troll divisions.
Plus no one I have warned from 97 on admits to remembering my warnings. Them all saying nah keep your head down and live, govt has always been bad, nothing will fundamently change.
The same people still support establishment opposition to save us too, following the lead of authorities passing the buck and never admitting a mistake and correcting their behavior.
Well you see by showing the sheep the authorities are supporting the monsters our societies once defeated, in bad faith, and are importing that same monsterism home to be wielded against our citizenry in a rebuke of hundreds of years of freedom of expression as is the case in the uk, they fill the polits with a deep fear their fee fees will be hurt as the sheep reject their arguments.
Obviously they cannot not support the monsterism because they are all compromised by israeli intelligence, epstein for some but whole ranges of blackmail, and of getting kicked out of the club.
Sheer terror.
Per today in focus podcast from the guardian the authorities are arresting any palestine protester for supporting terror. P. action opposed Israel, you oppose israel, you are supporting palestine action. That is the authorities game now.
We are past plausibility, the lawyers and judiciary and police believe the old rules do not apply. As evidenced by previous rulings in effect outlawing protests they disfavour and disallowing defenses in court. Disfavoured now includes environmental and global warming protests, and palestine. But will soon be expanded to include anything and everything.
And soon they will have a record of what everyone said or looked at online, texted, etc., with computer programs to sort it, and (palantir to start) to make social scores to be secretly used against everyone in business and government decisions. Ie loan denied, charges filed, respectively.
Not all that much on this issue. They’re both maximum bad. Neither Biden nor starmer is worse than the conservatives on this issue. Empty gestures aside. Obviously the Republicans and Torries are fucking cunts, I presume I can say that on Lemmy here.
You framing everyone as is critical of the opposition party as voting for the party and Power gives lie to your argument. That is an ad hominem you learned from the party in power and the opposition party.
And you did not answer the point, it is unanswerable so it makes sense you resort to ad hominems. By not being popular and running as the status quo in an Ever devolving plutocracy, the Democrats Doom us to Republican rule. That is evident.
It is in effect against the law to criticize Israel in Germany and now the uk. It is against the law to protest in the UK in effect.
By running as they do they doom us to the Republicans. I do not see how that is hard for you to understand. Being better than the other guy is not enough to win elections, you should have realized that in 2016 at the latest, yet here we are approaching 2028 and you are still advocating for this doomed to fail policy despite being one election away from a permanently rigged system for a one-party state?
And make no mistake it will be rigged every way it can be but 2028 we have a chance to take it from them in the succession fight. Not with the establishment leaders we have though.
Oh? Remind me again how many countries have even an arms embargo against Israel? Or they have any sort of penalties against them outside of completely symbolic actions done well past the time they should have been? How many of those countries is it a crime to criticize Israel in? The UK and Germany at a minimum.
The Democratic Leadership knew the position we were in, yet they still refused to run a popular campaign offering any real reforms or attacking anyone increasingly gouging us and ran as the status quo while the Republicans ran as reform.
We all knew the voters did not know better. The responsibility is in the establishments corner. Three presidential shit shows in a row and they are brushing off the old Hillary Clinton excuses blaming voters as if that would justify letting them stay in control of the party.
The establishment dems still think they are playing good cop to Republican bad cop in 1990, even as the Republicans are openly playing Hitler now. Without getting new popular reform minded leadership there is no way we can take the country from this aspiring one party state.
Ahh poor tools of state oppression, I am sure they will be able to talk it out with therapists funded by our tax dollars to help them get through this tough time.
