Jack Smith walked into a Senate hearing room this morning with Donald Trump threatening to prosecute him, and he told the country Trump committed serious crimes anyway.ContentsJACK SMITH STANDS UP TO TRUMP DESPITE THREATS OF PROSECUTIONMUSICIAN HITS TRUMP WITH LEGAL THREAT OVER PROPAGANDA ADTRUMP MOCKS “SLEEPY JOE” THEN NODS OFF ON CAMERAMARK CARNEY IS BEATING […]
Thank you. I feel so discouraged when I see people who should be our supporters, who spout things like ‘fix your country’, pick at an individual who is trying to make things better because they aren’t working on their specific thing.
I just can’t see any flavor of ‘both sides’ as anything but support for the oligarchs. The more people engaged, the more collective power we have and the less a few billionaires can control us. By engagement, I mean more than just voting: Join your local precinct and be or support the delegates that work their way up to the national conventions. This applies to democratic and republican alike.
Anything telling people their votes don’t matter or won’t change things only concentrates power in the people who already have it.
Well said. I could not agree more. And very few of these random “purity tests” – where the liberal candidate is horrible, evil, gonna burn down the world because they do not have the right stance on [pick an issue] – in online conversation ever come across as authentic or genuine to me; rather, they seem to all be using the same playbook and advancing the same talking points, same as it ever was.
For example, I have NEVER, not once, met a fellow American in real life who did not know exactly where they already stood on Trump or Biden by the time the 2024 elections rolled around. Maybe that’s because I’m old, but we’ve all been firehosed with propaganda day in and day out since 2015, and any middle ground had already long disappeared. Maybe such individuals exist, but for me it would be a wild unicorn sighting.
Yet I’m also supposed to believe that people already opposed to Trump would turn on a dime, hold their noses, and vote for him because Kamala = genocide? Hardly. If you genuinely care about genocide you care about people, and in a country where entitled righties were screaming FUCK YOUR FEELINGS at me that was the magical enticement for me or someone like me to stop caring about real people and vote for the one man who very clearly cares about no one but himself at all? Lol, no. I never believed that and I do not now, and anyone who lives here knows why just from their own lived experience.
These new purity tests are just more of the same, and as we get closer to the midterms I am spending less and less time online overall: if we don’t see it, it’s useless to them, oligarch cash wasted, and that just makes my heart glad.
If votes didn’t matter, the oligarchs would not be spending hundreds of millions of dollars to try to change and/or eliminate them.
