And had the nerve to address a HBCU to pander for the black vote.

anticolonialist ,

I wouldnt be complaining about not caring for the black vote because they don't care. They use marginalized communities as human shields to defend their shitty politics. Then toss them back to the curb the day of the election.

anticolonialist ,

He praises their leadership as long as they are the 'yes massa' type and stay in their place and do as they are told.

Outside Groups Spent $285,000 Backing Jamaal Bowman. AIPAC Alone Just Dropped Nearly $2 Million to Attack Him. ( theintercept.com )

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s super PAC has launched its first ads attacking Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the Democratic primary in New York’s 16th Congressional District. The ads claim that Bowman “has his own agenda” and refuses to work with President Joe Biden....

If it were any other country sinking this kind of money into politics, there would be hearings, investigations, sanctions, etc.

anticolonialist ,

Quit using marginalized people as human shields to defend shitty politics and their shitty policy

anticolonialist ,

The US military is one of the worlds largest polluters. Biden has spent 10x more money on the military than climate change initiatives. Speaking concern about climate change, than doing little to mitigate it sounds anti climate to me.

anticolonialist ,

We are focused on the economy and how much it sucks. Telling us we are ok while the world is on fire isn't the most convincing argument to earn our vote.

anticolonialist ,

This coming from a guy that can't find his way off stage and needed a kiddie barrier around the stage at one of his last campaign stumps

anticolonialist ,

Don't go suggesting politicians need to earn votes, they'll down vote you.

anticolonialist ,

If Biden wants our vote he needs to earn it.

The idea that Republicans are all powerful to enact their every wish, and democrats can't get anything done because of republicans isn't the strongest argument to elect your party.

The only thing regressive are those defending the status quo, which happens to be fascist.

anticolonialist ,

Project 2025 is the culmination of 50 years 'lesser evil' voting. Instead of accepting no evil, democrats tolerated right wing politics and its policies as long as it had a D next to its name.

Marginalized communities have been living with versions of P2025 all their lives. This only scares white liberals because its something that finally targets them. Democrats demanded we ignore our oppressors and vote for them and didnt have our backs. Now we wont have theirs for the mess liberals created.

anticolonialist ,

Has been for decades

anticolonialist ,

Fascism is strictly a right wing ideology

anticolonialist ,

Democrats are the ones supporting the status quo, which is upholding white supremacy and fascism

Incrementalism is what got us here. We were led to believe that incremental baby steps is what was necessary for progress. They use those incremental baby steps as small, little, minute, undetectable steps to the right. They compartmentalized the rightward shift so all we saw were small puzzle pieces and couldn't piece them together to show the larger overall picture. And when people started to challenge their views, they would throw the marginalized communities in front of them to defend their actions, ' you challenging our systems might hurt this black person, it might throw this lgbtq+ person under the bus,' etc. and I use that tactic to silence opposition. It's the same tactic that Republicans use when they scream 'save the children'

If incrementalism actually worked, we wouldn't be having the same discussions about wages and housing and healthcare and education that we were having 50 60 70 years ago.

Regarding P2025 we are at the

anticolonialist ,

Biden doesn't tolerate our existence any more than Trump, they are equally hostile to everyone that challenges their power

anticolonialist ,

People need to protest using all rights afforded to them by the Constitution. The right to free speech, which they use, the right to protest, which they do, and the right to carry arms, which they need to do.

People need to address the state in the only language it knows.

anticolonialist ,

That's not specific to Texas, protesters are always silenced by the state when they are deemed a threat to the status quo.

anticolonialist ,

Poverty wages, no affordable housing, and genocide does that to a person

anticolonialist ,

'We're in a pivotal moment' sounds a whole lot like the 'most important election of our lifetime' bullshit.

anticolonialist ,

Sanctions are not doing shit.

anticolonialist ,

From people directly in Russia they are largely unaware there are sanctions because it hasnt impacted them. Russia was one of only 3 counties that saw positive wage grown during covid and have held on to that growth. Wages outpaced inflation.

anticolonialist ,

It doesn't matter, it is a reflection that the US no longer has a stranglehold on world economies

anticolonialist ,

Hollow platitudes, conduct a general strike and see how hard they come down on labor. In the same way they proclaim we have free speech until we start movements against capitalism like Occupy Wall Street, or protest genocide in Gaza. Then the state, in full force, does everything it can to silence that speech.

anticolonialist ,

The US would shield them from prosecution

anticolonialist ,

And France has banned Tiktok in the country so people cant expose what the French are doing in real time

anticolonialist ,

Its kinda weird they let us live rent free in their head

Duopoly kinda makes it sounds like there are 2 options, instead of 2 right wing factions with same end game

anticolonialist ,

And if were polling at 20 they would change the requirement to 21

anticolonialist ,

Don't you know Trump is gonna genocide harder? Some shitlib told me yesterday trump will conduct a real genocide, as if the one happening in front of our eyes is fake

anticolonialist ,

I doubt the Congress that's taken multi millions in AIPAC money will vote against it.

anticolonialist , (edited )

Take your hasbara bullshit somewhere else. According to that same organization you took your definition from, an occupying nation like Israel can not claim self defense when attacked

anticolonialist ,

I'm talking about the people that passed a resolution proclaiming opposition to Zionism is antisemitic. I'm talking about the people using police across the country to silence opposition to Zionism and genocide. I'm talking about the people that's taken millions of AIPAC money to carry out the demands of Zionists.

anticolonialist ,

In typical fashion, a liberal infantilizes people they disagree with because they have no other argument to stand on

anticolonialist ,

What is worse than genocide? You are the epitome of my original comment, 'Trump's gonna genocide harder'

anticolonialist ,

No one is defending republicans, we are saying Biden is doing exactly what Trump might do.

anticolonialist ,
anticolonialist ,

Except the part where it meets every aspect of a genocide.

anticolonialist ,

Regardless what name they go by, if they uphold capitalism in any form they are right wing

Subjugating marginalized communities is 100% bipartisan
