  • Hezbollah fires at West Bank, rockets hitting Palestinian villages

    Jump

  • obvious to anyone with a brain that they are intending to hit the occopying israeli soldiers.

    No, no it's not, they would be using guided missiles if their goal was to hit specific troop concentrations, this is just the regular old terror bombing.

  • A longtime GOP operative helped the Green Party’s Jill Stein get on the N.H. ballot. Democrats smell mischief.

  • Niche? I thought it was an idea the entire Dem group was putting forth legislation on

    There's a difference between the Democratic base and the Democratic Party politicians who make decisions. RCV is somewhat popular among the Democratic Party politicians, it's basically unknown of/uncared about by the base. That's how it's both niche, and desired by the Party. I'm sure you knew this though.

    Yes, Dems should take time during campaigns to talk about actual policy. That's what campaigns are for.

    That's what they do. Literally every single election.

    99% of status quo talking points are boring because our representatives are bad at their jobs.

    No they're boring to you, because they're not meant to appeal to you, you do not represent the majority of the Democratic base, the Democratic base is mostly middle aged college educated liberals, not hyper-online leftists.

  • Really? You think the Democrats should be spending valuable time in an election year talking about a niche electoral reform that most people would need explained?

    There's a reason 99% of political rhetoric revolves around bread and butter issues or something that can be used to scare people. RCV is neither of those, and most people who are actually dedicated to getting RCV already know about FairVote and the Democratic party's willingness to pass RCV.

  • It's from some of the most senior democrats from the progressive and centrist wings and would permanently destroy Gerrymandering, I'm pretty sure most democrats would support it given the chance.

  • Hawaii wildfire victims made it just blocks before becoming trapped by flames, report says

    Jump

  • It found “no evidence” of Hawaii officials making preparations for the wildfire, despite days of warnings that critical fire weather was coming, and that the lack of planning hindered efforts to evacuate Lahaina before it burned.

    Having personally experienced a wildfire almost the exact same as this, I really really hope the people of this town can get some accountability, my town barely hit national news and got zero accountability for the failures of the city government.

  • No. It was communist.

    The society itself was not communist, but It was definitely ruled by communists. Even Marx called himself and the people who followed his ideas communists, not "socialists seeking communism." When people say a country was/is "communist," they mean it's being ruled by Marxist-Leninists, not that it's achieved the hypothetical level of society that usually only Marxists are familiar with.

  • The Stasi was the secret police of communist East Germany, not the Nazis.

  • US conservative influencers say they are ‘victims’ of Russian disinformation campaign

  • Probably just paying them to stay on message about Ukraine and stop rambling about random culture war issues like alleged elementary school litter boxes.

  • Cuba sees 14-hour-long daily blackouts as economic crisis continues to deepen

  • than 50% of the US realizes there's still an embargo.

    Oh trust me, enough of the Republican base still remembers it enough to screech any time there's any talk of ending it.

  • More than 200 former Bush, McCain and Romney staffers endorse Harris

    Jump

  • Believe it or not, conservatives aren't lying 24/7, they actually believe the things they say. That goes for both Pro-Trump and Anti-Trump conservatives.

    If you were actually engaging in good faith political analysis, you'd see Harris is significantly more left wing than McCain or Romney.

  • More than 200 former Bush, McCain and Romney staffers endorse Harris

    Jump

  • Have you listened to any of these Republicans who have endorsed her talk? They all think she's wayyyy too progressive for them during normal times, they're not endorsing Harris because she's somehow a conservative now, they're endorsing Harris because their party got taken over by fascists and they're rare spine-filled conservatives.

  • Democrats Abandoned Their Anti-Death Penalty Stance. Those on Federal Death Row May Pay the Price.

    Jump

  • If they were speaking at the DNC, they were not socialists.

    So Bernie and AOC aren't socialists now?

    They had more Republicans and cops speaking at that convention than marginalized communities.

    Uh? No they didn't? Did you even watch the convention? They had a few Republicans and cops who spoke for less than ten minutes each. Meanwhile they had dozens of women of color, and women's rights were one of the main themes of the entire convention.

  • Democrats Abandoned Their Anti-Death Penalty Stance. Those on Federal Death Row May Pay the Price.

    Jump

  • Yes because Republicans from five years ago would definitely have all the largest union leaders and several socialists speaking at their convention.

  • Her acceptance speech was bog standard for a democratic nominee, she played to both conservatives and progressives. Don't act like she's suddenly now a conservative because she pandered to the military and veterans.

  • Jill Stein, Claudia De la Cruz, and Cornel West urge voters to Abandon Harris over Gaza

    If that's true, it just makes your advocacy seem even more politically ignorant.
