Democrats hate progressives

Democrats hate socialists. Their job is to ensure that the leftward fringe of the party, and of acceptable mainstream discourse, never moves past progressive/social democracy. The Democratic Party serves capital by ensuring a neutered American left

Hopefully this can be changed

Should we protect Lebanon from Israel?

In any society, the culture is created and maintained by the media and other apparatuses of the ruling class. Collectively, this is referred to as a society's superstructure

This superstructure reinforces and perpetuates the ownership and norms of productive forces in society, known as the base of a society.

In the USA, the base is oligarchic capitalism, and the superstructure is a neoliberal managerial-cultural apparatus

Russia is much stronger militarily today then it was in 2022.

What are you basing this on?

just say that the party opposes ‘kings,'”

This is incredibly dangerous

It argues that a pseudo King like Trump is the problem. That is a lie. It is the oligarchs who prop up dictators like Trump who are the problem

This is an issue of systems, not of individuals. She's intentionally trying to individualize a systemic issue. This is because she serves those oligarchs and is protecting them by attempting to scapegoat Trump.

We must reject this

Neoliberal

The U.S. government is one thing. The people who live here are another.

We should never judge someone just because they were born in a certain country. Blaming people for where they come from is prejudice, plain and simple.

Yes, Americans can be frustrating. Many seem unaware of what their country does beyond its borders. Many have failed to demand change. But instead of writing them off, we should ask why that is.

The truth is, they’ve grown up inside one of the most powerful propaganda systems in history. From the moment they’re born, they’re fed myths about freedom, greatness, and endless growth—while being isolated, overworked, and misled. Their ignorance isn’t always a choice. Often, it’s something that’s been done to them.

So instead of condemning them, let’s choose compassion. Let’s challenge the system that raised them this way—and reach out to those willing to see through the lies.

Real change means building solidarity, not more division. Speak the truth. Share knowledge. Offer empathy. That’s how we turn a misled population into a powerful force for transformation.

Within the context of US politics, the center left/Democratic Party is the largest political obstacle for socialists. So antagonism towards the center left seems to be rational within that

First she was in the DA not DO at the CIA so she factually was not a torturer as analysts weren’t doing torture rather the spies were.

Your defense of her is that she chose to work for torturers? Why would anyone work for torturers?

it chooses to focus on judgement of how others live their lives or choose to enjoy said life rather than focus on the real and tangible injustices we face

Why do you see it this way?

Lack of dense affordable housing, inefficient transportation, empty consumerism, and grossly negligent yet expensive elder care are all examples of real and tangible injustices that Americans face.

Other real tangible injustices also exist, of course. And some of those other injustices may be more severe (homelessness, medical debt, declining life expectancy, unresponsive political systems). But the depicted injustices are real and present. They accordingly deserve to be criticized

You realize that by demanding people shut up about genocide, you've actually incentivized users to talk about genocide, right?

She will have the same position on genocide as Biden

Lots of people die in the United States as it is. Homelessness is rising drastically. How long until you're next to be put out onto the street? Your employer can't wait until they can automate your job and fire you.

Also, the United States has a long history of carrying out genocide even prior to Gaza. Odd given your fallacious implication that capitalism is peaceful

No because left means anti-capitalist. The Democratic Party is not anti-capitalist. Therefore, the Democratic Party is not a left party.

However, they are a neoliberal party. Which, when compared to the Republican Party's existence as a fascist party, does certainly make the Democrats preferable. But just because they are preferable does not mean they are left

This guy screams I am a white cuck

Like he stands outside your window and does this?

you start doubting reality so much that you go down the rabbit hole and become an unhinged crazy conspiracy theorist.

Isn't the alternative to this a class-conscious understanding of reality? Which can only be achieved through defeating ignorance via a genuine and true education?

When people rise up without a clear plan or shared vision, they often end up reinforcing the very system they’re trying to challenge. That’s because the people in power already control the tools that shape our thinking—like the media, schools, and pop culture.

If we want real change, we need more than just passion. We need a shared understanding of what kind of world we’re trying to build. Otherwise, we risk repeating the same mistakes and rebuilding the same broken system in a different costume.

Capitalist ideas have had centuries to take root and evolve. They’ve got a head start and powerful platforms to keep spreading—TV, textbooks, social media, movies, everything. To challenge that, we need a complete shift in how we think about power, community, and freedom.

So here’s the big question: Is this shift happening? Can we see it in the protests, mutual aid networks, labor strikes, and grassroots organizing across the country?

If we believe it’s possible, then now’s the time to act—together, intentionally, and with clarity. Let’s build a new vision of society—one not handed down by the powerful, but created by us. Start by asking: What do you really want the future to look like? And who’s with you in building it?

1- I'm not who made the claim

2- How is this distinction a material difference? If she worked for torturers then she is unsupportable

It's embarrassing how horrifically you have misread this comment thread.

You're being antagonistic with someone who agrees with you.

Their point is that vote blue no matter who is an empty slogan that is only applied when the centrist is the blue candidate. Now that a socialist is the candidate, the Democratic Party will abandon the vote blue no matter who logic. Because it was always just a pretext to force the left into supporting neoliberals, it was never actually about actual party unity

Fascism is the open dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic, and most imperialist elements of finance capital, used as a tool by the ownership class to crush the working class and revolutionary movements when their rule can no longer be maintained through "normal" parliamentary democracy. It is capitalism in decay and crisis, resorting to extreme violence, nationalism, and repression to preserve class dominance.

The CIA and broader U.S. intelligence apparatus from George W. Bush to today function as instruments of the ownership class, increasingly showing fascistic tendencies as capitalism faces deeper internal crises. After 9/11, intelligence agencies expanded mass surveillance, covert operations, and political manipulation — not just abroad but domestically — to suppress dissent, manage working-class unrest, and defend imperialist interests. Under both Republican and Democratic administrations, the intelligence state has blurred the line between “security” and repression, normalizing extraordinary executive powers, criminalizing protest, and targeting leftist, anti-imperialist, and labor movements — all while intensifying nationalist narratives to justify it.
