  • Ehh, I disagree. A counter example; I’d bet money that folks in England know more about our country than we do theirs, especially when it comes to politics and current issues. I’m pretty sure most Americans wouldn’t be able to name the British PM or even what party is in power there. Everyone there probably knows Biden is the president and that he is a Democrat.

    Also, Al Jazeera publishes in English, I don’t think language is the primary barrier. American media just generally doesn’t cover foreign affairs all that much (and when they do, they generally do a shit job).



  • Hot take but… AOC is absolutely right. What are the greens doing in-between each election cycle? Are they winning down ballot/local elections? Are they organizing demonstrations? No. That loser Jill Stein just runs a failed campaign every 4 years. She’s not a comrade, she’s a grifter.

    Say what you will about AOC or the DSA (I’m sure there is plenty of valid criticism), but at least they win and are executing on a plan to gain power. And while I think similarly of the PSL’s electoral strategy as the Greens, at least the PSL does phenomenal organization and activism.

    Maybe there’s something I’m missing, but I fail to see what material benefits Stein/Greens actually provide. If you’re looking for a box to check that isn’t D/R, by all means vote for the G. But I don’t really see any material reason to donate or promote the Greens.
