      Don’t worry, they’re also beating us over the head with how great the economy is doing for rich people while giving zero fucks that regular people don’t feel it because they are fucking struggling.

      I’m old, this isn’t new, this is par for the course for Democrats. They lean hard on “but the Republicans are worse!” instead of actually doing shit for their constituents. All they think they have to do is be Not Republican and that’s enough.

      They are happy to gaslight us about our own lived experience because they can just wonkishly point at The Numbers and ignore the reality on the ground. They have been doing this for thirty years.

      Lying to themselves and us about the reality (gaslighting) is just normal Democrat discourse.

          As a rule of thumb I don’t watch political commentary from Youtubers.

          But I did look into it and read a few articles, there’s some truth to your claim - the organisation certainly has some dodgy connections through Code Pinks founders husband. But the group also pre-dates those connections, and I wouldn’t go as far to say they’re paid actors as they’re probably people who genuinely care about their anti-war causes and are being used as pawns. Shame because their argument is correct, but it’s tainted by this connection.

          I’ve removed the initial post so as to not contribute to spreading potential misinformation.
