  • Republican Demands and Divisions Drive Impasse Toward a Shutdown

    Jump

  • All they care about is their base

  • One in the same

    Jump

  • But it isn't the same as if the entire working class had a collective say in the capital, not just those who choose to and have the resources to pay in. It isn't the same as the workers of that company having a say in their working conditions, shift lengths, compensation, etc.

  • One in the same

  • A better way to say it would instead be the inverse: "If you don't work for a paycheck, you probably hold enough capital"

  • They want a shutdown lol this idea that negotiating will avert it is silly since you don't negotiate for things you don't want.

    French President Macron says sending Western troops on the ground in Ukraine is not “ruled out”

    Jump

  • All this because Republicans in the US don't like that sending arms to Ukraine makes Biden look good to the general public.

  • Yes, although the US pulled itself back enough with some of FDR's reforms that it kicked the can down the road a few generations, whereas the Weimar Republic actually collapsed.

  • Ocasio-Cortez says Biden could 'do more' to earn votes than just attack Trump to advance Democrats’ vision in 2024

    Jump

  • I know right? This quote in the headline makes her out to sound so tepid like "please mr president could you maybe be more confrontational against the fascists who want to kill me and my allies? 👉👈"

  • Too busy trying to court centrist voters and uphold a dying status quo

  • Nah if Trump was in office in the last four months there'd be open conflict across the Middle East with thousands of US troops bound for Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, etc

  • Oh yeah, if he started talking like half of his most rabid supporters do online then he'd be way more popular.

    If people could quote President Biden's personal attacks on white supremacists, book bans, etc then they'd get a lot farther with the politically disengaged.

    Imagine if you had Biden (or his social media team) out here on the daily constantly mocking GOP culture war shit as inherently un-American and out of touch with normal people?

  • What matters is perception and public messaging and that is currently one of a centrist president incapable of reigning in a foreign ally or continually calling out House Republicans for their shenanigans that put American lives at risk at home and abroad.

    Conservatives have constant control of the conversation because they have zero qualms publicly stating how their political adversaries stand in their way. But instead it looks like Democrats trying to win Republicans support by adopting republican policies instead of bullying them into accepting the plan of the majority party of the upper legislature and presidency.

  • MAGA Republican Pledges “End of Democracy” to Rabid Cheers at CPAC | Republicans at CPAC 2024 are openly vowing to take down democracy.

    Jump

  • Such an idea is impossible anyways, because to ensure a benevolent society you need to incorporate the wide range of viewpoints and experiences of the people within it, something a dictatorship, by definition, precludes.

  • They're banking on the 6-3 conservative majority being willing to use their power.

    When organized labor is crushed, what comes next is never pretty (see: 1930s Germany).

  • Palestine-Israel Crisis Megathread

    Jump

  • I don't know how to confirm this myself but I have read and heard that before anything else, after it was known Hamas fighters were inside Israeli territory, the IDF first move militarily was to start bombing Gaza. No one can argue honestly that the IDF defends Israelis - its literally just the most reactionary of religious Zionists that they serve.

    Secular Jewish Israelis? Nah they can fend for themselves for a few hours, we've gotta attack Palestinian civilians, says the IDF. And that's not even bringing up that 20% of Israeli citizens ARE ARABS, some of whom were also attacked in their homes in Southern Israel 10 days ago, but of course the same people calling Hamas human animals will go after them next (not to suggest they aren't already, only that Gazans face more immediate extermination).

  • Palestine-Israel Crisis Megathread

    Jump

  • The impression I had gotten from interviews (Al Jazeera, the Guardian, Haaretz) was that Israeli civilian police were there and exchanged fire with Hamas but that it was HOURS before they came across any IDF personnel. I've been focusing on this less as the time goes on and the catastrophic situation in Gaza gets worse and worse, so maybe further sources have come out regarding the Nova Festival.

    Regardless I would like to see consequences to the people who authorized a festival so close to Gaza in the first place...
