Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., told a crowd of thousands at a rally in Los Angeles on Saturday that the U.S. was facing a moment of “extraordinary danger” as he criticized the political, economic and social policies of Donald Trump.
Sanders, who also dropped by the music festival Coachella over the weekend, has been criss-crossing the U.S. to speak out against the new Republican administration.
“We are living in a moment of extraordinary danger,” he said, “and how we respond to this moment will not only impact our lives but will impact the lives of our kids and future generations.”
zionism and providing weapons to isreal are related, but not the same thing; bernie does one of them, but the results are the same.
the first-past-the-post argument is like anti-3rd-party-voting rhetoric and is meant to re-enforce this shitty voting system and deflect blame away from the people who have forced it upon us. there have been multiple living, breathing examples that prove such rhetoric is false; mexico and sheinbaum is the most recent proof.
the democrats and the republicans are two sides of the same mainstream coin that inevitably come after vulnerable groups when things start to get bad, like they are right now. niemoller’s poem warns us that leftists and trans people need to work together to protect ourselves against this mainstream and your comment about the “Glorious Revolution™” & fptp proves how effectively the american system sows disunity.
finally, we have plenty of examples of what this natural response will look like and adherence like yours to the status quo groups like the democrats is helping to usher it in.
The first past the post argument is anti-3rd-party-voting rhetoric? The long studied mathematical tendency of first past the post systems to consolidate towards two party rule through among other factors strategic voting and the spoiler effect? Yeah okay Buddy. You’re definitely the best leftist here. You win.
