  • Why can’t the DNC and progressive voters do the same?

    Because the DNC is structured explicitly to prevent progressive challengers.

    There are many examples, but one big one is the DNC vendor banlist. The DNC says that any vendors who work with progressive primary challengers will be banned from any future work with the party.

    This means that progressive challengers often cannot find vendors to do basic things like print flyers and signs, and finding experienced staff to hire is nearly impossible. And of course, “centrist” candidates have not been bothered by this.

    And then at the top of the DNC you have hundreds of superdelegates and party officials who are overwhelmingly center right or rightwing. These people cannot be voted out directly.


  • It is funny you bring up “fire in a crowded theater”, that is the perfect example to prove my point.

    The “fire in a crowded theater” analogy was first used by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendal Holmes, but the “fire” was actually anti-WW1 pamphlets and the “theater” was actually a public street. So the leftist handing out anti-war pamphlets was jailed.

    But you’re right, the first amendment does not protect you from the ramifications of your speech. Someone yelling in a theater should be met with a disorderly conduct charge, and nazis in the streets should be met with organized antifascist violence. Death threats that pass a reasonableness standard are prosecuted as felony harassment. Death threats that do not pass this standard are protected under the first amendment.

    But in my opinion, there is no crime that warrants being sent to Guantanamo. A lifetime of torture is a fate far worse than death, and there should be no room in a civilized world for such barbarism.






  • I’m right here. Democrats are still evil for supporting a genocide, and your “lesser of two evils” logic continues to make us more evil.

    What do you think of the 30 days the Democrats gave Israel to improve the humanitarian situation by measurable metrics? Israel failed every metric, but the Democratic administration ignores the results and continues to ship weapons to the genocidal regime.

    What do you think of the dozens of international doctors who have been to Gaza saying they saw children with single gunshot wounds to the head almost everyday? Reports are widespread that israeli snipers are intentionally killing 100s of children each month.

    What do think of Israels recent use of small arms drones? After an American/Israeli bomb destroys a civilian building, a dozen small drones swarm the area. These drones fire small cube-shaped projectiles with the force to pierce skin and break bones, using AI to target any human in the designated area. They are deadly accurate and fast, firing 3 at the head, 3 at the chest, and 3 at the groin. Doctors say these projectiles are especially hard to fish out of the bodies of the child victims as they rarely exit the body, instead they bounce around causing more internal damage.

    Suggesting that the people upset about an ongoing genocide are just going to forget about it due to electoral politics is disgusting, and you should feel ashamed.













  • I challenge you from one blue state to another, dont vote for any candidate who has pledged support for Netanyahu’s genocide.

    The margin that matters is 5%, can a third party break the 5% barrier and get matching national funds? It will be the first step in breaking this evil duopoly and the “lesser of two evils” disaster that is destroying our democracy.
