It was the Democrat’s strategy that resulted in low voter turnout. The votes were up for grabs, they ran away from them. It’s not like the campaign was unaware of what messaging and policies were unpopular. They deliberately chose to ignore it. They chose to run to the right on policy and messaging. If they gave a shit about being an opposition to fascism, about actually winning, they would have heeded all the warning signs and run a different campaign. One that would galvanize their own base, one that would fracture the Republican base. Instead, they prioritized the interest of their capital donors, with zero consideration of the views of the constituents that they are supposed to represent.

“This was a preventable disaster,” Cook said, “but Harris and the Democratic Party leadership prioritized the agendas of corporate donors and gambled on a centrist path, while largely abandoning working-class, young, and progressive voters.”

We know what the autopsy is about, and why they won’t release it.

It’s a speedrun, baby

I feel like a see a new low every week, and no end to that trend in sight

Combative rhetoric has particularly come from the close Israeli ally the UAE, whose ambassador to the US wrote a column in the Wall Street Journal this week saying a ceasefire would not be “enough” and the belligerents should push for a “conclusive outcome” that “addresses Iran’s full range of threats”.

Aww, what happened, UAE? Is your love of Israel not going well? Little hard to fund the RSF now?

Any chance the guillotine comes back out?

You gonna blame the Jewish resistance for the Holocaust next?

What the actual fuck

New brainrot unlocked

DOW here, how do I get free oil?

I’m sorry but jumping to ‘organizing is useless’ makes absolutely no sense.

Why do you think you even have a weekend or benefits in the first place? The gains made by the militant labor organizing in the last century.

If organizing was useless, governments wouldn’t spend all the immense time and money to break, weaken, and dissolve unions. They do so because they recognize the real threat organizing has.

I’m not saying organizing is the one thing we need. There is no singular thing. A united front is needed. Every avenue both inside and outside the system. Co-opting the Dem party to be a party for the people, outside organizations like DSA to keep politicians accountable, labor organizing to wield our collective power to ensure our demands are met, voting, coalition building, mutual aid, International organizing, ect.

This is a class war, we have no luxury of choosing a single angle of attack.

Do you anything about the PA?

This is about an end to Occupation and Genocide, how do you not understand that.

The PA is an arm of Israeli Apartheid, Occupation, and Suppression.

The PA creates the appearance of Palestinian autonomy, but in fact, much like the governments of the Bantustans of apartheid South Africa, it is simply an extension of the colonial state, a tool of counterinsurgency that is highly effective for the repression of local rebellions, because it makes the native population police itself. Fatah, which was a revolutionary movement in the early days of the armed struggle, is now mostly contained by the PA.

• The Palestinian Authority: A Tool of Israeli Counterinsurgency - Adi Callai

Israel’s stabilization strategy, inspired by modern counterinsurgency doctrine, has rested on two pillars: the employment of pacification measures to co-opt Palestinians and reliance on the Palestinian Authority (PA) to police its population on Israel’s behalf. However, many Palestinians are now fighting back against this approach, while the PA’s eroding legitimacy has only hardened the population’s refusal to accept its restrictive methods.

• Why Israel’s goal of pacifying the Palestinians is failing - +972

It is presented here as it has been perceived by the Israeli policymakers and bureaucrats down the years. For them the PA was an integral and crucial component in the open-air prison model suggested in the 1990s, and one which the pragmatic elite of Israel still hopes to instate in the West Bank, at least in the near future.

• Ilan Pappe - The Biggest Prison on Earth

In appearance, the PA has all the trappings of a state, with ministries and a civil service, but Israel wields the real power, turning the tap on tax revenue, and controlling access to the shrinking territories – a status quo often compared with the Bantustans of apartheid-era South Africa.

The PA has actively helped Israel to keep tight control over the Palestinian population. Many perceive the body as a tool of the Israeli security apparatus, its US-trained forces not only targeting those suspected of planning attacks on Israelis, but also arresting union figures, journalists and critics on social media.

• What is the Palestinian Authority and what is its relationship with Israel? - AJ

Israel relies on this division of the West Bank to foster the fiction that the Palestinian Authority is the entity primarily responsible for administering the life of the majority of Palestinians in the West Bank. In practice, however, Israel still retains control over the entire West Bank and all its residents.

What we need is labor movement power like work stoppages, but far more organizing is needed before we can do that effectively

100% they don’t even open the article

It’s not even hard to verify

Israel will only get more unpopular

More and more people see day after day the billions we spend sending weapons to Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing campaigns, billions that aren’t being used to help everyday americans

This type of resentment and anger is only growing, and will only grow faster as material conditions continue to worsen, which the vast majority of Americans are experiencing

So on top of the, rightfully, moral outrage at what Israel is, it’s also fuelled by that economic outrage, and both are only increasing

With berniecrat types, like Zohran and others, we see massive grassroots motion precisely because they can authentically tackle both those aspects. Calling out the truth of Apartheid and Genocide, demanding Divestment, on top of taxing the rich, moving all those funds to instead help cost of living at home

More and more berniecrats are winning races across the country because people are demanding a disruption to the status quo. The scare mongering of the socialist label doesn’t work anymore. People don’t care, they just hear that those policies can improve things. And as those policies do improve things, it only gets more and more popular

A Candidate whose unapologetically anti-zionist shows authenticity, so people are more charitable to that candidates socialist policies and more willing to give them a chance. The Republican policies aren’t working, the Liberal Democrat policies aren’t working, so fuck it, we ball

They may think of it like appeasement

But this is only the beginning of the anti-zionist snowball

Have you tried blaming the constituents instead of the party strategy? Very popular for people terminally online

Shit, do people who think it’s based to not read find me boring?

Fuck, I’m cooked

I can tell, it’s all very impressive

Says the guy to can’t read? Lol

He may clearly not be interested in reading, but others also may not be aware of how to find the material

A People’s History of The United States is an incredibly insightful book, especially when it comes to understanding the history of Indian Removal, Chattel Slavery, labor uprisings, as well as the dynamic between the capital owners and the workers/slaves throughout both the colony period and post-1776
