  • Do you remember the PUMAs in 2008? More Bernie Bros were willing to vote Hillary in the general than PUMAs were willing to vote Obama.

    But we’re getting distracted, you can’t blame Bernie supporters because the politician chosen by the DNC had the blood of millions on her hands, and was just generally unlikable.

    You run a politician that offers the people fuckall, of course they’re not gonna take a day off work to vote for you, they’d rather have the money.



  • When you go by policy, he would have trounced Trump.

    People want free healthcare, people want less war, people want to know their kids will get just as good of an education as the kids of rich people.

    Then again, he’d have had the media aligned against him, so maybe they would have convinced the people it’s good when you have to put off medical treatments for months so you get them all in a year where you meet your deductible



  • cmon do you really believe that the US had nothing to do with the 2014 color revolution or the government that formed after? I mean you can just google news articles from the time, even western news sources were reporting on how the US and EU were involved in the creation and makeup of the new government.

    This was before Zelenski won on a platform of peace, and then failed to get the right-wing militias under control.


  • It’s Ukraines fight. It’s up to Ukraine to decide to forfeit the fight or to keep fighting.

    It was laughably corrupt before the war, and since it’s literally suspended elections. It’s a war between Russia and Ukraine’s ruling classes, the people only pay the price.

    Russia should not have invaded Ukraine in the first place.

    Sure, but Russia’s government doesn’t pretend to represent you or me. The US government does. We could have also avoided this by not doing a coup in Ukraine and putting a hostile government right on Russia’s border.


  • The US is not supplying Ukraine with weapons because they have any interest in the well-being of the people in Ukraine. They are supplying the weapons to extend a war as long as possible to weaken Russia, at the expense of hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded Ukrainians and millions displaced.

    This is infinitely worse for the people living there than if Russia won a quick victory or if we’d taken literally any off-ramp in the last decade.




  • “I don’t like the butcher of Yugoslavia, Libya, and Syria’s vibes” is a bit of an understatement.

    I can only attribute the fact that we didn’t go to war with Iran after Iran’s response to blowing up the guy who beat ISIS while he was on a peace mission to historical coincidence, since it definitely wasn’t Trump’s character, but 0% chance Hillary would have called off the attack at the last minute.

    If Hillary had won, we’d have started a war with Iran the year Covid was starting. And then maybe had Trump in 2020 instead of 2016

    Edit: Anyone downvoting me wanna say why they think the person who was so proud of facilitating the brutal murder of Qaddafi would have pulled back from the brink of war?
