    Can’t say I’m surprised or even disappointed. It’s a social-democrat running through the D party proposing some reforms. It’s the bare minimum, and even if he was some sort of secret communist he would be expelled from the blue party very quickly if he had a good take there.

    On the other hand I still think he’s worth supporting critically over his proposed reforms, while criticizing harshly on his failures. NorthWesterners expect too much from electoralism and individuals and forget about parties.

    Why do you Americans do this to yourselves? It’s like you still believe the system is legitimate.

      alot of amercians seem to have this weird way of thinking where they think there ‘democracy’ is really an oligarchy but despite bieng that way since the foundatino of the nation is really just a product of a few bad choices or people.

      …Goddamn single topic motherfuckers… Where are those Epstein files?

      Yes. The single topic of genocide. GENOCIDE, MOTHERFUCKER. If you can’t see that, you’re no better than a rabid dog. Voting doesn’t do fucking anything. Also, the irony of lamenting single-topic bullshit while parroting the Epstein files line from Reddit.

        lol I love how they piss and moan about sINgLe ToPiC isSuEs and then go straight to talking about fuckin Epstein shit. Who. Cares. About. Epstein. The ruling class is never going to act on that shit because they’re all-in on it. It literally is just politainment. Anyone who is still closely following the Epstein shit as if anything will come of it is a fool, sorry.

          My honest reply to it all is “Yeah, I wanna see them released too. Watch when it literally doesn’t do it anything.”

          because I’m literally down to bet, even the most shitty down-votey lib on here, (50 dollars max, DM me about it, must be a liberal) that once the Epstein files come out during Trump’s administration that it will literally be a media circus for a month and then NOTHING. Just like how when literal flight logs of the LOLITA EXPRESS got released nothing fucking happened. Nothing ever happens usually wins when it comes to justice on these ghouls. Almost like voting doesn’t do anything about your parties flying off to Mossad and Epstein’s island for child predation parties, like another user said, just like how downvoting these comments because your a shit-pants liberal doesn’t do anything. That’s how much your political vote is worth!

          I don’t think anything will come of it but I’m very interested in those Mossad ties.

          Following the Epstein stuff is a good way to break the electoralism brain. If all your politicians are sneaking off to Little St James and they’re all blackmailed by the CIA and the Mossad, suddenly it seems extremely silly to try to solve political problems by voooooting. Clearly it’s not working!

      It’s best not to buy into a false dichotomy and consider why liberal democracies aren’t democracies for most people around the world including the US (ie the limits of political electoralism).
