It is amazing how Israel buckles under any amount of pressure after over a year of being told that Israel could continue on their own and the president couldn't do anything to change it.
Very informative to know that hundreds of thousands are dead because the democrats simply refused to do anything to stop it other than briefing the press about how sad they are about it.
The ‘economy’ is a big thing. That doesn’t mean GDP in this case, but that there is inflation and no rise in wages that follows. When the message from the incumbent side is that things are great actually and you’re wrong if you don’t think so the viability of the policies from the other side stops mattering as much. The big problem is that history didn’t end and neoliberal policy is failing right left and centre all over the world.
Also that Kamala is a historically shit candidate, there is a reason she immediately ate shit in the 2020 primaries.
All Harris had to do was to even pretend to be progressive, but she had to jump on the ghoul train in order to impress 7 columnists. Why do they think that Negraponte and Cheney are good endorsements?
The dems were on a slight roll when they chose to do what the 'left' told them by replacing Biden and choosing Waltz for VP, but then decided to double down to pander to the right.

Biden doesn’t make speeches about the evil illegals down at the border every two days, so he isn’t doing enough. Quiet cruelty misses the point.
Settler colonialism is a real thing that happened in history with devastating consequences for indigenous peoples around the globe.
Still very much happening but it's only really being called out in Western societies. Meanwhile indigenous Tibetans are having their culture erased by Han Chinese, etc...
I hate the US as much as the next person but the meme itself is basically whataboutism.
How the fuck is this whataboutism?
The whataboutism is 75% of the thread going out to defend the US prison system by saying that a wartime prison before the age of antibiotics was slightly worse than current US prisons. So little discussion of the topic at hand.
Edit: oh fuck, found the millions of prisoners in Xinjang part of the thread.
Not recognising American places that share their name with old world areas is praxis.
F's in chat for our comrades with aphantasia who cannot rotate a cow in their mind.
He had some bangers. If he were alive today his posting power would eclipse our big wet boy.
Been an (adult) school shooting in Örebro, Sweden with somewhere around 10 people confirmed dead so far. The perpetrator is believed to be among the dead and to have acted on his own.
