Democratic party needs to die. Controlled opposition that takes up energy from actual opposition.

“Graveyard of social movements”, 60’s radicals called it.

He’s the one who wanted to go hardball on Republicans and they couldn’t find anything to stick to him, as hard as they tried.

Dems can do worse and have done much worse.

If Russia overruns Ukraine, the rest of them are next. Putin is an imperialist.

I would support that. They tend to blow up.

It’s not defeatism, it’s an acknowledgment that we need to look beyond electoralism within the Dems. Mutual aid, dual power, direct action. If electoralism, build a grass roots infrastructure for a new third party or help an existing one rise.

Third party success won’t happen with just running someone for president every four years. It has to start at very local level, and engage with the public between elections.

I still feel that the lower violent crime rates in neolib states has more to do with them having a semblance of public support services.

Not much, but high amount by US standards.

Everyday crime (not hate crimes etc) has much to do with addiction and poverty.

Typical right winger, loves guns but rarely if ever practices.

Leopards, meet faces.

Honestly surprised by cops being included in this. Wonder if that will bring major backlash in such a conservative state.

Portions of it made before WW2, yes.

Ever read up on Canada’s forces in WW1? They can be brutal when they need to be. 😄

I think usually Bernie means well, but I think Democratic party is far beyond saving. We will have no significant progress no less opposition to fascism, until they are gone.

Electoralism is largely a dead end under the duopoly.
