For the liberals who think it it doesn’t matter he claims Israeli captives are being tortured while not even mentioning the same for the Palestinians in extermination camps: your medicare won’t matter to him either. Stop torturing billionaires.

Palestine is the ultimate litmus test.

    Was it ever on to begin with?

    I only feel such kinds of disappointment when like an actual marxist or anarchist person/party has dumbass takes.

    If you are expecting liberals to have takes that are not lib, then your expectations are just out of order.

      Zohran actually started off really well, refusing to condemn all of oct7, no unnecessary placating to Zionists etc, calling the police racist in the past, etc. Only in the last months after he won the primaries have things started to go downhill like this. The DNC infiltration in his team is in full force.

      I don’t believe in reforming the DNC whatsoever but I did give him credit when he deserved it in the past, because it’s important to show people who still believe in reform what happens when one of the supposed reform guys actually gets in power. In order to be allowed a position of power they first need to bow for to the DNC party line.

        At present, British Communists very often find it hard even to approach the masses, and even to get a hearing from them. If I come out as a Communist and call upon them to vote for Henderson and against Lloyd George, they will certainly give me a hearing. And I shall be able to explain in a popular manner, not only why the Soviets are better than a parliament and why the dictatorship of the proletariat is better than the dictatorship of Churchill (disguised with the signboard of bourgeois “democracy”), but also that, with my vote, I want to support Henderson in the same way as the rope supports a hanged man—that the impending establishment of a government of the Hendersons will prove that I am right, will bring the masses over to my side, and will hasten the political death of the Hendersons and the Snowdens just as was the case with their kindred spirits in Russia and Germany.

        I still want to know what they are doing to scare them so much. Like, what did they say to AOC after her protest in Pelosi’s office? Or Mamdani after the primary? Like, its not just the 180 its how fast and abrupt it is. What are they saying to them, threatening them with?

          All the cope comments are saying that he needs to “compromise to get things done”. Which is inherently why it’s impossible to do reform. Anyone who compromises with genocide libs will compromise on everything else.
