The liberal establishment’s war on the New York City mayoral candidate reflects panic over a growing left challenge to Zionist orthodoxy and the mainstreaming of Palestine solidarity

    Can’t stop to read now but I’d wager some politicians are to scared of trump and his supporters to allow real left wing populism

      Almost precisely backwards.

      Fascism happens when people cry out for change and it’s denied. If obama hadnt betrayed us all in 08, if sanders hadn’t been ratfucked in 16, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Fascism is enabled by fear of the left, by alienation from your own interests, by irrational hate, by self loathing, by hopeless faceless rage when the actual causes of your displeasure are unspeakable.

          Yeah that would be cool. I’d really rather live in that timeline.

          Instead we are in this one. Where ratfucking after ratfucking of the people’s desire, making their cries unspeakable, has lead us to fascism.

          Its one of the reasons ill never vote for a dnc politician. They brought this shit into the world.
