Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

The EU should play his own game and funnel foreign campaign money for none-GOP people through these stores.
Of course we should have done this years ago since at this point we won't have fair elections, but for a brief moment, I was satisfied with my thought.
As long as it’s not Gavin, he really sucks in other ways.
Bro, we haven’t even started the primaries, isn’t this the exact time to ask for better? The anti-trans thing is only part of it. He’s also a capitalist shit heel who rubber stamps PG&E’s agenda with 0 push back. Is extremely anti-homeless. Doesn’t do the bare fucking minimum to push back against police brutality in LA. But yeah I should just forgive that before the primaries even start because his team did something witty on twitter.
It absolutely is. I'm a big proponent of getting in line to oppose Republicans when it's election time, but the second the election is over until the second the primaries are over is the time to talk shit, find options, get behind folks who align with your beliefs, and make your voice heard. Because right now we're setting who gets a seat at the table. We're setting what kind of promises will be made.
I'm not a fan of newsome because he's a wolf in sheeps clothing.
He's big oil all the way
The EU needs to concentrate on keeping its own fascists under control.
I am getting very worried about the UK and Germany. It’s looking more and more like they will be in Russia’s pocket soon enough.
The uk is as cooked as the us. Those Id laws....
Somehow, I don’t think the solution to this problem is more corruption
I mean at this point I'd try anything to not recreate Germany circa late 1930's...
I really doubt the people in concentration camps would have agreed with "ya know what? Maybe fighting corruption with corruption isn't something worth trying..."
I happen to know people who were in concentration camps.
They would’ve tried anything to stop it.
And it’s pretty fucking disgusting for you to use the victims of Nazis and the victims of concentration camps to try to make your point here.
Boost people experienced enough torment and torture and horror. Leave them alone and let them rest in peace.
You realize I'm arguing to try to stop what happened to them, from happening to others right? So yah, let's use corruption to fight corruption, what else do we have to lose? I'm not really sure why you'd be against trying anything to reject recreating the horrors those people lived through and witnessed.
You're on a moral high horse by telling me more corruption isn't the answer, while also lecturing me about how horrible it was for those people. Let's uh.. Try whatever the heck might work to not have that happen again? Can we agree on that point at least?
One does not defeat the monster by becoming a monster. By definition, that means the monster won.
But, since we think it’s such a brilliant idea, how is corruption going to defeat the Nazis then or today? How is more corruption going to end up with us having freedom?
Right. That’s what I thought. Fucking nothing. It all sounds nice until you have to actually think about the results.
So, go on. Tell me how corruption is going to defeat the Nazis. Otherwise, shut up.
If you’re lucky, others will fight for your freedom which you think is so worthless and, instead, hopefully you’ll never experience inside of an oven.
Lol you gotta chill out dude. We both don't want a repeat of the holocaust, we agree on that.
Oh Jesus Christ dude, I was trying to get you to calm down and stop being so argumentative when we both want the same outcome. No. 2nd. Holocaust.
Take some time and cool off, I didn't mean to piss you off, and I don't take the holocaust lighty, I just off the cuff suggested an idea of trying to fight fascism with their own strategies, I dunno how you linked that to "I support Nazi's"...
You got the reading comprehension and reasoning ability of a struggling middle schooler. Whatever school you attended failed you, and I’m sorry for that.
You’re descending someone who made jokes about the holocaust. Don’t insult me to make your shitty actions appear more palatable.
It’s always amusing when someone manages to prove a point while trying to dispute it.
So you do support their counter-corruption initiative or no?
One does not defeat the monster by becoming the monster. That’s called “surrender”.
And there’s nothing “counter” to the corruption proposed here.
No, surrender is shutting down minor forms of resistance as you are doing now.
Countering corruption (a) with corruption (b) is countering the original corruption.
Praising Nazis and the holocaust on an Internet forum is not “resistance”.
And if you think you’re some kind of freedom fighter, we’re all fucking doomed.
You are too stupid and too ridiculous to deserve any more of my attention. You’re blocked.
Go waste someone else’s time sucking Nazi dick and making jokes about the holocaust. Fuck you.
It's become clear republicans have no interest in playing by the rules. I'm long past the point of caring, I just want them to hurt. Corrupt away
Why? The issue was never one of having too little money. Harris raised far more than Trump and still lost.
Shit if anything maybe taking less foreign bribes and focusing more on their citizens needs might have been a winning strategy.
