    progressive politics

    look inside

    14 year old news that could be seen as scandalous today but the person in question has been out of power for 10 years

      The person is now campaigning with “progressive” politician Abdul El Sayed. People suffer from severe goldfish memory when it comes to politicians so it is important to remind them.

        Alright, thats fine to point out. Do you believe that means people should not vote for El-Sayed in November?

        Do you feel it will be a good idea for Republicans to continue their majority in all three branches of government?

          El Sayed has already turned his back on the people and has been fully usurped by the Democratic party. You are asking for Obama all over again. Nothing will fundamentally change under the Democrats. The empire is still in decline and they will refuse to keep fixing the underlying cause of it: billionaires hoarding all the wealth.

            So you have NOT ONLY dodged both questions, you immediately start running defense before you’ve even made your stance clear.

            Nothing will fundamentally change under the Democrats.

            and everything will get worse under the republicans.

            The empire is still in decline and they will refuse to keep fixing the underlying cause of it: billionaires hoarding all the wealth.

            The empire will accelerate decline with republicans in power, which will complete the fascist takeover of the country.

              If you elect more establishment Democrats I guarantee Republicans are going to take back the crown in the election after that because the establishment Democrat pick will not fundamentally change anything that should be changed. And like the previous 20 elections you funnel that energy back into the other of the two parties again.

              They have the same donors it would do you well to think about why that is.

      They were somewhat less mask-off, but they were already infamous (to the point where I knew about it in high school) for having snipers on the border fence who specifically targeted children, old people, disabled people, medics, and journalists.

        i’m not sure what you want me to answer. what does that have to do with what i said? is your judgement of bad based on whether one receives missile attacks, by which logic they were half as bad compared to 2011 and a tenth as bad compared to 2007?
