can anyone find another source that claims that she said this? This Spiering guy is a former Breitbart reporter, so I'd take what he has to say with a grain of salt
Democrats helped push through the “Patriot Act” and GWOT. They’re shit bags too. Never forget that liberals are just soft racists too. The heritage of this country is inequality striving to turn equal. It’s just a bunch of old minds are in the way.
Democrats used to openly call Dick Cheney a war criminal...
He owned it too well. Call him a war criminal and he says "yeah, and?" and signs a gallon water jug with a rag in the handle.
Then he shoots a friend in the face, and gets the friend to apologize on national TV
Ain't that some shit
Buddy "Carter" democrats haven't been in charge since well Carter, everyone swung way right now matter what the media tells the gen pop.
They mean it as a compliment
Obligatory reminder that Cheney literally does not have a heart, nor a pulse.
His heart was replaced by a continuous flow pump after something like 4 heart operations/transplants/surgeries.
The enemy of my enemy and all that
Oh no! A cordial politician
WHATEVER WILL WE DO?!?! this is literally the end times, oh my God.
Being cordial to a war criminal is not something to praise
It's not just a cordial politician.
It's the (by far) least awful prospective president giving thanks for crimes against humanity to a war criminal via his daughter who defends all his actions to this day.
And politics is pagentry. Liberals believe strongly in the rituals of the state, and the respect of "the office". It almost never matters who the shitbag was who held the office, for them a part of the system is playing your role and not deviating from the script.
This conveys nothing but the fact that she's following the script of political society.
There are other reasons to dislike Harris. Better reasons. Reasons founded on something other than the want for people to ignore the established customs of the space they're inhabiting.
I prefer my candidate of choice to not be cordial with war criminals, but you do you I guess.
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.
If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.
Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!
That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)
Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.
as well as condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.
That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).
The only dangerous minority is the rich.
We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.
(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)
Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.
(This is not a definitive list, the spirit of the other rules still counts! Eventual duplicates with other rules are for emphasis.)
