  • The term “October Surprise” comes from an event during the Regan administration in October of a Presidential election year.

    Today is October 1st, during a Presidential election.

    It is, by definition, US-centric. It wouldn’t make sense to call events around the world October surprises.

    At the same time, “Israel” has launched a ground invasion – fully backed by the top two candidates for President, hundreds of people are dead with thousands stranded after a hurricane during hurricane season that has Katrina-levels of incompetence, and a major labor action threatens to disrupt the churn of consumption in the capital of capitalism.

    Not really Anti-USian whatever the fuck you said.










  • Unpopular opinion, maybe, but in the critique of Stein, AOC is not wrong.

    Of course she could have made the case at any point in her political career but she just happened to point this out as polls are showing a 50-50 split between Harris and Stein amongst Muslim voters.

    Locally, the Green Party has been successful here, but you’re not going to see Stein sharing a stage with down ticket candidates. In an off-year election, she won’t be going around the country building the party.

    I feel bad for voters who see the Green Party as a legitimate third party. I’m sure at least some of them would like to have someone else as their nominee every four years.

    But this is about getting a member of the squad to scold the progressives into voting blue no matter who.
