    They're still desperately trying to push the "The rich will leave NYC" grift

    Give it up bozos, they're not going anywhere. There's way too much money to be made in NYC for them to move, even if it means paying slightly higher taxes. They'd be making back what they paid and then some, so it literally doesn't f***in matter.

    This. Also these types of bozos act like the far left would miss them if they actually left the country lol, but that’s not the goal of Dems at all ofc they just rasining their taxes a little that’s it so it’s a dumb fictional scenario to ramble about

    Politicians are always going to condemn Hamas y'all. That's just how it is. Even if they call out Israel and other politicians who take AIPAC money, they're not gonna co-sign Hamas.

    I don't know why y'all still get surprised by this lol

    It's true

    Was watching a news video on YouTube of a politician discussing the Maduro situation & the reporter almost tried to force the guy to condemn Maduro/say he was a bad person

    It's almost like I could see the guy wanted to say 'well actually this country's government is responsible for waaaay more killings than Maduro ever was' but he wasn't allowed to say it '

    It was kinda wild how robotic they have to act over certain stances that aren't in the Overton window

    One day it will happen

    I don't know tbf
    More & more it seems like nothing will change until the powers that B receive a more substantial... form of protest/resistance from the people

    You know what they say, no revolution happened with... nah'mean?

    seeing it all over the world, the uk government did their fake lil recognition of Palestine as a state but at the same time they keep making more pro Palestine forms of protest illegal, protestors are about to die from hunger strike, the majority of their MPs were at a Labour friends of Israel event (where 3rd in command of the government said she was an unapologetic Zionist)

    caps might need to start getting peeled back
    'Mario's brother' had the right idea
    Edit: should clarify, the last line was hyperbolic

    Media has its job to do in regurgitating the propaganda that the US government wants them to. So they're always gonna try to steer a conversation in a direction that will get a pundit to co-sign certain things like "Hamas are terrorists" or "Maduro is a dictator". Especially when that pundit calls out Israel and the US for committing war crimes.

    It's the nature of American MSM.

    For sure. I don’t believe in reformism/real change within the confines of the current system. People will eventually have to fight for their freedom.

    I don’t think Mario’s brother had an real idea to follow tho, we could say he had a real motive.
    Spontaneous individual actions such as random political assassinations, bombings and s*** do not essentially wake people up or start the premises for a revolution, the politician will just be replaced by another person of their class, harsher repression and violence from the state follows and the masses could be more confused and divided than before. Collective, organized actions (along with **, coordinated strikes & demonstrations, educational community work & training programs, strengthening trade unions, mass political campaigning, etc. ) with the end goal to rally the working class against the government (for a revolution) are more strategical.

    But this s***‘s been a discussion between leftists for a very long time.

    It wasn't yapping, still well needed context for others who may see our posts

    organisation is the key, it's getting scary how AI backed policing and surveillance are going to make any well organised revolution much harder than they were in the past
    The left needs to come together, there needs to be less infighting. We need less false saviours disrupting revolutionary efforts e.g. Dr Umar, The BLM organisation
    There are so many false leftists who only want marginal reform so that they can access the privilege they feel they are being denied.
    I wish I had a solution
    There's just so much effed up stuff happening it can feel insurmountable/disheartening but I would never give up hope

    They often think they want a socialistic change, till they reach a point of capitalism they were never a part of and decide to stay there.

    it can be annoying seeing Coons like him/Stephen A/Boyce Watkins/Obama still trying to act all cool & 'black' while they have or will the black community with their actions/thoughts/ambitions etc. throughout their career/future career goals

    There were always going to be shortfalls in his campaign promises and goals but IMO it’s better to overreach and accomplish what you can when your goals and ideals are good
