They could be organising huge nationwide protests or storming the capitol like he did. They could be telling the truth like AOC and Bernie

‘Making the family blonder’

Aphantasia?

I think there’s more than one kind of imagination. It’s like the opposite of ‘thinking outside the box’.

Theirs is more like ‘wow this box is big! I’m gonna get inside a smaller one’.

I’ve had some good conversations with local TUSC members collecting signatures and so on, I’ve a lot of respect for them but sadly the general public don’t seem to. I think after the kicking by thatcher, unions and socialism in general are out of fashion. I do think there should be a broadly left party, allowing secondary membership maybe. Work on getting agreement on some issues, laser focus on what’s most urgent and get decent people elected. I’d support any party with decent policies and which had the most chance of getting elected.

Is this why the dems are standing aside?

Do they need him to be alive? They can use him as long as he’s not rotting too obviously. I have a strong suspicion he already stinks.

Trump will give them space in Guantanamo bay

Those voters had already been brainwashed by fascists into thinking destitute refugees and asylum seekers were at the root of their problems instead of offshore bank accounts stuffed with their taxes, which should have been used to pay for public services and housing.

Its not only that but how the left has been marginalised, as what happened with the labour party in the UK - Jeremy corbyn, the old leader who was actually left wing has been barred from the party, which he was part of for his whole life. A lifelong anti-racist on the correct side of every issue has been smeared as being a racist and that is now the mainstream ‘truth’.

The only left wing party of any size in the UK now is the green party. The only alternatives to business as usual labour/conservatives (same thing) are the greens (seen mostly as a middle class protest vote) or reform.

Labour are definitely not for the working class anymore.

Most people have an astounding lack of imagination. Its like they thing that things can’t get much worse because that would be too different to now…

It’s true, it was programmed into us by our creator Hans Asperger.

I’m really struggling with the idea that humanity doesn’t deserve to survive. Its just mind blowing how stupid and disgusting people can be.

A lot of people don’t vote as a protest. Most stupid shit I ever heard and I instantly lose respect for anyone that doesn’t at least go spoil their ballot.

The reason for this happening now is that Russia is on the verge of collapse and Putin has turned the screws on trump. If things don’t go his way the pee tape will leak

Americans are struggling because of a lack of socialism, basically. They can’t do this and keep the hyper individualistic and selfish society they have now. Anyone reading this, look up libertarian socialism. Socialism can co-exist with capitalism and does so successfully in many countries. Make it happen in your state and who knows, you too could have the safety net needed to assert your democratic rights in a crisis.

This is why people need to band together. Yeah, its a kind of socialism. Here we have protests in the capital city and organisations run subsidised transport so you can get there very cheap or even free if you can’t afford anything. We’re suffering too, support each other.

That’s no reason not to try. Try while you can. Get organised. Use existing groups and band together, safety in numbers. How about the occupy wall St people? Trade unions? I think people are kind of in disbelief about what’s going on, but this is happening fast and it seems like there’s so little response.

Travesty incoming

Why would Putin be interested in a real deal when he already is defacto president of the US?

Only if Europe can stand against trump and Russia (and allies) will he not get what he’s bought and paid for. Zelensky knows and I hope he keeps shouting the truth from the rooftops.

Yeah, I heard that. But I think that Ukraine couldn’t actually use the nukes so they were of limited use, like maybe they could have been repurposed or something. But yeah no doubt about it, Ukraine got screwed and now they’re finishing the job. I hope they sell their resources to anyone else, China or North Korea before they let Russia or the US have them.
