      I think the issue is that the drive train below them is the same. Who is in charge does have a BIG impact on some very key points but the larger general shape of something cannot be changed drastically.

      Alan watts once said that you would have to mad to want to be President because it is like nominating to be in charge of a runaway truck with no breaks. You can steer it in different directions but you also have somewhat limited agency. So long as the core funding structure below persists, you can only nudge things.

      I am not 100% convinced that if Democrats won 2024 election that we wouldn’t be in Iran right now. That said, if we were in Iran, it probably be a lot more sedate and measured. Probably be Also that is a big IF. I mean Democrats were the ones that spent 2 1/2 years negotiating a peace deal with them only to have Trump rip it up in his first term. I’m not saying it would be the same, but there would be the same pressures from below.

      So in that sense, it does matter who is in charge but we also need to tackle the base drive train.

      If you don’t want “bOtH sIdEs” on the table, stop doing the same thing.

      D and R leadership are BoTh 100% supportive of Israel. The USA founded Israel, and it’s our bulwark in the Middle East.

      I don’t agree that we should control the Middle East, but I’m not the Pentagon. BoTh SiDeS remains just as true on this now as it was before the election (100%). Israel is the number one benefactor of foreign aid regardless of who holds office.

      Request denied.

    We are working on that! Refuse Jeffries as speaker of the house: https://c.org/MBZHckWknR

    Refuse Schumer as Senate majority leader: https://c.org/JFhKQNZSXd

    And while these change.org petitions aren’t that big of a deal on their own, I will only consider criticism of the strategy from people who have done more, especially if they are interested in funneling more people to do the same and want to talk about how.

        Isn’t your tree of liberty watered by the blood of patriots? Doubt you’ll need that, but it’s an option they shouldn’t think irrelevant, one good general strike will put the fear into them.

          Suggesting that violence can be used to defend liberty is how you get banned from Hexbear and other instances that oppose change.

          For any who might choose violence, going solo doesn’t mean you are alone in the fight. Act locally. Be discreet. Be prolific.

      I like your style. You will get banned from a lot of communities and instances for speaking up, but don’t let that bother you. We need more people willing to speak uncomfortable truths. It needs to be heard.

      Violence is historically the only tool that consistently works against fascism.

      Zionist shills on Bluesky say that site is bullshit because AIPAC actually donates very little. And that’s true! Nice thing about AIPAC Tracker is that it totals Zionist contributions for each candidate so AIPAC themselves can’t dodge. And they make no secret that that’s how they do it.
