Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

This just in, people need to accept hypocrisy rather than call it out in order to be seen as left-wing.
God man, people really think that not rooting out the bad apples is going to help left-wing politics. That's how you end up with Jimmy Dore being an anti-vax pro-Trumper and Ana Kasparian being a transphobe.
I'm not even entirely sure why you have a vendetta against hasan, but okay let's roll with that line of thinking.
Does this also mean that we should cancel Bernie Sanders for having Zionist takes at one point? Even when he has changed his stance and is infinitely better than most around him?
If only the right wingers were this divided, we might stand a chance.
I mean... They are. They just hate what they think <\EDIT> liberals are <\EDIT> more.
This is a aspect inherent to the conservative vs progressive mind set. This is an extreme over simplification, like really extreme and doesn't really apply to Trump, but here goes:
If your side wants things to stay the same, that's it. You're done formulating views.
But, if you want things to change, now you have to answer the question of what needs to change and how.
Hey, putting everything else aside, just curious what you were trying to do with the stuff here. Is this some sort of feature I'm unaware of?
Genuine question, not trying to flare things up.
I try and make clear any significant changes i make to a post.
It's more important when someone has already replied, but i tend to do it even when no one has in the same way i use my blinkers while driving, even if no one is around.
Continue going against Bernie. He still won't call what's happening in Palestine a genocide because he's such a coward. Not that long ago he had pro-Palestine protestors removed from an event of his for unfurling the Palestinian flag, all this despite the crowd chanting "free Palestine".
If you're not calling it what it is, all you are is an enabler. I used to look up to the guy but his shameful unwillingness to use "the g word" only turns supporters away from him. Not calling it a genocide is a non-starter when every single fact points to that being the case. People aren't blind, and this weakness from Bernie on this critical issue has made him lose countless supporters, of which who knows how many left politics altogether and stayed at home during the election as a result.
You either keep up the pressure, or find someone else willing to tell things as they are. If Bernie is so scared of stating facts on a human rights issue, then who's to take his word that he'll fight for anybody's human rights if push truly comes to shove?
If Jamaal Bowman didn't pull that damn fire alarm, he'd be a perfect example of someone (formerly) in office to look up to. In terms of commentators, been feeling homeless and left the U.S. sphere since Kyle Kulinski went radio silent in terms of a response to him saying it's okay to deadname Caitlyn Jenner over her politics.
