It’s worse, they think Bloomberg entered the race to stop her and not Bernie.

While I think the issue of Gaza and Biden supporting genocide goes beyond poll numbers, the reality is that polls show Gaza is way down the list of voter concerns, even for young voters.

Death to America.

Respectfully, comrade, nowhere near half of hexbear was advocating for Biden as the harm reduction candidate. There were some posters here and there who might have said that but the overwhelming majority of the site, like 97%, was saying “fuck these guys I’m not voting for either”.

BetOnline is currently showing Biden at +300 to win, and Newsom at +700. That seems like an awfully small spread when one person is the presumptive democratic nominee and the other is not

Do they actually think we are not voting for Biden only because he’s old?

I’m not an accelerationist but it might like two generations of Mad Max.

I can acknowledge there is a marginal difference between Biden and Trump. However, by accepting whatever infinitesimally small difference there is and voting for Biden, that is effectively an endorsement of everything Biden has done over the last four years (not just Gaza, but also things like breaking the railroad strike). Do that and not only does the left lose whatever small leverage we have, but it also signals to Biden that yes, go ahead and brutally murder thousands of innocent little kids, the left will eventually fall in line no matter what. This means the next time there’s a genocide (say that Israel decides to completely annex the West Bank and ethnically cleans the Palestinians there) the Democrats will have zero fear of any consequences of being a critical partner to Israel in that genocide.

Yes I am a single-issue voter. My single issue is that I don’t vote for people who are actively committing a genocide.

These little assholes know they’re not changing anyone’s minds. Deep down they probably want to see Biden lose so they can spend the next four years feeling smug on the internet that themselves, the good upstanding liberals that are, advocated for Biden but those evil horseshoe tankies got Trump elected. The feelings of moral superiority is what they crave, but they also know the left has the morally superior position (and it kills them that we don’t even care about being “morally superior”).

Edit: I want to tell one of these nerds who makes these charts: “Death to America, I love humanity infinitely more than I do this country. So add a few foreign policy issues like “forcing Ukrainians into a meat grinder”. Then weight domestic versus foreign issues in proportion to the population of the US versus RoW, and then see how the points shake out.

I have to admit, I don’t get the suit coat with no (visible) shirt. Not a criticism, just an observation.

Some local chapters are good, some aren’t. My local chapter is pretty based and would never dream of supporting any dem candidate, even local ones. Others aren’t. I think it’s definitely worth at least investigating.

And IMO DSA is getting better, not worse. Marxist Unity is making a lot of headway.

Something like 40% of Americans think the earth is less than 10,000 years old

I just mentioned this in the news mega, but the staffer who runs his twitter uses “disturbed” here but “appalled” when tweeting about the protest in the LA - the one where the Zionists who attacking protesters who were there because inside a synagogue they were auctioning off land held by Palestinians in occupied Palestine.

To be clear, he was “appalled” at the pro-Palestine protestors, not the violent Zionists.

Not here, but I saw demsocs basically pretend to ignore his very pro-Zionism stances. Which they had an easier time getting away with before October 7th.

One thing I always like to mention about Lincoln in this context: he was really into the idea of deporting all black people to Africa. It was his lodestar - it apparently was one thing he consistently believed in during the length of his political career.

I feel like the DPRK just needs to be armed enough to deter a US/South Korea invasion, and they’re already there. And now, if they have Russia’a support they don’t need more missiles. They need just normal trade - oil in particular. Would love to see Russia strike a similar deal with Cuba.

This shit is so difficult to untangle in westoid brains. They have all these anecdotes that are usually just straight up lies or at best, extreme exaggerations.

I read Losurdo’s Stalin book in part to better understand a lot of what people believe as the “totalitarian” history of Stalin and the problem is, how do you “debunk” a lot of random nonsense? Losurdo is great at it but he’s getting involved in details most people don’t have a clue about. People don’t actually have some detailed but wrong understanding of history. They just know the “vibe” that Stalin and Hitler were the same. And unfortunately, facts and material analysis usually lose out to “vibes” unless someone is actually curious (which they never are).

Worth noting that despite all this horror, the Red Army showed incredible restraint and didn’t pay back an eye for an eye when they rolled back the Nazis. They could have done what the US/UK did and started bombing civilians in Germany but chose not to.

The only places that have “good” infrastructure in the US are in rings around cities where the development has been fairly recent so the roads and all haven’t had time to degrade. Outside of the ring you have rural areas and they either have nonexistent infrastructure or what they have is dilapidated. Inside that ring you have older parts of the city that get neglected and usually the more non-white it gets the less resources are spent on infrastructure so it just gets worse.

Unfortunately, the people who live in that ring of good infrastructure tend to also be who American society caters to (middle class and rich white people).

1968, Nixon’s election was the reaction.
