And this is why Democrats will keep losing.

    Both parties need to split up into new parties. However, the money flowing is incentive to prevent them from doing that. Party splits have happened before several times in US history. This time the billionaires are funding all of this chaos thanks to legislation they started passing since post Watergate. How do we get them to split? Take the money out or give them more money than the billionaires can. Both resolutions that should not require drawing blood. How do we do that? I have no idea how to fund more money than billionaires, but being somewhat of an optimist, 99% of the population can probably figure out a way once they stop this tribal mentality of red vs blue.

      TBH we should probably stop regurgitating state propaganda trying to convince us that violence isn’t a valid form of protest.

      Because the rich have backed themselves into a corner where the only thing that will snap them out of their delusions of world domination is to be forced by the rest of us to confront their own mortality.

        In this climate, you are giving them what they want with violence. BLM is now considered terrorism and did not accomplish their objective. The violence was hijacked by people that just wanted to loot and plunder and gave fuel to the media demonize it. Lives were also needlessly lost and a lot of property destroyed for a brief moment of fleeting justice. Need I remind everyone the Civil Rights Movement, just as a violent time, was not achieved with protestors throwing the first stone. Defend yourself for sure, but don’t instigate it.

        Those that call for violence on either side are the first to cower or get killed on the front line and drag the rest of us into their mess. There is no regurgitation of state propaganda in my statement. What’s wrong with holding a sign up that says “Fuck President Musk” ? We all know both of those clowns have thin skin. Make that your chant and make them hear it. Get into their heads. Make them fall on their own sword for once.

          BLM were labeled terrorists without being violent whatsoever, so idk why you think you would be safe bending the knee.

          Violence can’t be committed against inanimate objects, you have ingested that propaganda.

          Remeber that black people got the right to vote AFTER the killing of MLK and the insuing riots.

      Once Conservatives and “centrists” stop handing power to the worst people we could probably just start reversing this global shift to the right even just with that. Progressive candidates are all over, we’re just too collectively stupid to vote for them.
