This is how he "makes direct appeal to conflicted Muslim voters"?

But the expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute, fundamental necessity for the United States to have the steady leadership there.

I mean after this muslim Americans should be less conflicted about not voting for the selfadmitted Greater Israel supporters, sure.

While your proposition is still better than the neoliberal merry-go-round, unions can only serve as a base for vanguard worker's party. Unions by themselves never once seized the means of production and ultimately most of them turned into tools of class collaboration.

In Poland we currently have 17 political parties and 42 independents on 460 seats in sejm. Yes, that's potentially 59 different political stances... but every single one is still neoliberal.

If you're into mmo, Old Republic have most story, and it's even quite good.

Yeah i'm pretty torn on how democratic is UK, not only they do have FPTP but it's also A FUCKING MONARCHY.

Way out is realisation that they spent last centuries or at least decades on trying to stop being Europe in every sense. If they could they would probably do it even geographically, rowing their island to physically join USA.

Even if it passes, i wouldn't be very hopeful. Look at Europe, all those countries have better and more democratic election system than USA, but there are fascists on the rise in each of them and shit like in France and Poland happen more and more. Also what's the use of having more parties if they still all represent the same influence groups (for example in Poland we currently have 17 parties and 42 independents on 460 seats in sejm, but you won't find anyone outside of neoliberal status quo).

Lenin argued that communists should take part in bourgeois elections because this will get them tribune to loudly proclaim their program, though this should be the least they do, not the most and the main effort should be outside of electorial politics and on organising working class.

Now thing is, when Lenin wrote this, he meant the tsarist duma, which was even fakier democracy than the current American one, with 3 tiers of electors, censuses, workers and peasants barely getting few % of representation and rest going to landowners and their pets, okhrana secret police arresting socialists and peasant activists and closing their newspapers (there was a case where huge participation of workers put iirc 15 worker representatives in duma, and tsar just fucking imprisoned them). But they were still heard.

Now, nearly 120 years later, bourgeosie don't even have to be so heavy handed, they just drown the communist message in a media flood, and even cases like removing third party candidate from ballot and deplatforming them cause no big response from the so called "liberty" advocates.

Idk, Vance looks like fuhrer wannabe here but Harris and Walz are cheery and normal. Also footbal coach sounds much better than "second-in-command" (though i might be mistaken on both, i have a lingering suspicion Americans like fuhrer figures and lofty militarised title for civilian politicians).

Scissors rattle loudly

 

How heroic, that surely paid off all those billions.
