Yep. It was stomped out for years, when the racists didn't have enough validation to vocalize and act on their beliefs due to a monoculture that kept them in line. They were shamed into keeping quiet. Then the Internet/social media reignited their proud racism due to the ability for anyone and everyone to have a voice.
I don't think it's policy or a "socialist" issue for Jeffries when it comes to Mamdani. I think it's completely about the Democratic Party's fealty to Israel.
It's one thing when Israel affects our foreign policy (which is massively horrific and I'm not downplaying), but when they create chaos within our OWN political system (both parties) which directly affects the American people...FUCK.
I admit that I didn't fully realize until the last year or so the stranglehold Israel has on us. My eyes are open. We have to weed this shit out.
Because he is in NYC.
I agree that they share anger and the struggle, but I disagree that the working class share common experiences and values. This country is way too big, with completely different lifestyles and surroundings.
Just spitballing, but it feels like the "working class' is almost just a buzzword at this point. Are we talking about leftists or working class people in general? Because a lot of the "working class" supports or is at least sympathetic to Donald Trump. His proudest, loudest and largest group of voters are working class. And it ain't centrism they are worried about. These people hear the world "socialist" and lose their fucking minds.
"The ___ is not a monolith" has been overused at this point, but probably the most true when it comes to the working class.
Agreed. 1. Trump hires the worst people, being shitty at your job is the norm 2. He is an authoritarian and it's mentally baked in with his employees that whatever Trump wants to do, let him do it. He was in control of that entire situation.
There will not be a single Dem primary candidate that the majority will rally around. Impossible in this climate. The left will eat the centrists, the center will eat the leftists. Stupid shit will be considered "disqualifying". People are self-absorbed and nuance is dead. In the end, voters will need to act like adults and do the right thing.
Funnily enough, that's the main reason why I believe there was no real investigation. Trump "taking a bullet" was the best optics for him, a ricochet from tiny piece of shrapnel would eliminate the God-like status.
Real assassination attempt, hit by a tiny piece of shrapnel, "protected" by a bunch of unprepared clowns, and there is no God is the most logical explanation.
No, "weird" was folksy. If anything, it kind of diminished how dangerous these people are. Time to get serious with these fucking traitors. I'd add "spineless" to Brisket's solid list.
I actually don’t mind that Europe has the stronger looking lineup this year. It will be nice to have a little chip on our shoulders in that respect.
But that makes camaraderie that much more important. Keegan needs to choose wisely. Wyndham is a hothead and too risky. I agree with others that it’s looking less likely that Keegan should play.
Also Harman >>>> McNealy.
