Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Why do these people even think Cuomo is an own; I don't expect them to read anything from the left but at least they could sort of pretend to notice the left has been acting against Cuomo since sometime during the Obama admin.

Because the Bernie Bros are all white men and automatically support white male candidates, which is why they all voted Trump over Clinton to advance their true agenda of wealth redistribution, equality, white supremacy, and patriarchy.

The thing about that type of headline in that type of editorial is that if the answer is "No" or "I don't really know for sure", then why not hit the delete button halfway through, and if the answer is "Yes", then why not have the courage to write the headline as a decisive and bold declaration? Some bigots really like hiding bigotry by phrasing it as a question to make themselves look "skeptical".

centrists literally cannot see leftists of color so they didn't realize nina and the other activists were trying to get in the building, left some donuts out for the angry-sounding spirits to appease them

So I need help understanding the lastest outrage by Dems against Trump:

Putin, due to sanctions the Dems voted for, downsized our embassy staff. Dems are now outraged that Trump is not mad about it, even though they've been harping about how Russia is our enemy :psyduck:

Mainly it's the whole thing about the two-party system, which effectively makes it night impossible to push a third party unless one of the big two is dying (like the death of the federalists, free soilers and whigs). Of course there's also a reason people have been saying for decades that the democratic party is where social movements go die.

The focus on federal politics over state politics makes this especially bad but both parties have sort of managed to make themselves the only legitimate voices in a way (some states don't even allow thirds on the ballot at this point afaik), especially given how much the federal system distorts voices to a point that makes even parliamentary westminster systems look more democratic.

We're stuck with them due to our archaic first past the post system and there's basically nothing we can do about it other than take them over. This nation could easily be a one party GOP fascist state, too. It's really not a great place, lmao.

yeah, i guess it's easy to forget how dire third parties are in your system

i'm kind of afraid of how totally the gop might wreck the dems before they either start paying attention to the left or die and let a new party emerge

i guess the tea party is instructional; except they had the backing of big donors and therefore had a huge advantage getting the gop to pay attention

There's only one party, the Big Business Party, and two factions wage a continuous war within it.
