Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

"The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro's friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political "football game" that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives." — Malcolm X

Vindman said he voted for H.R. 2616 because he is a dad.

“I care deeply about my kids, and that’s what I voted on,” he said

Exactly the problem with politics. You shouldn’t be voting on your situation. If a billionaire gets into office and votes to make their neighborhood have no police, no taxes, and the most parks, they’d be a terrible leader. You do what your constituents want. That’s the point of being a representative. To fucking represent your district.

one trans woman told the outlet that she’s frustrated that Vindman ran unopposed in the Democratic primary. She said the choice between the congressman and Ollivant feels like a choice between “callous dismissal and active hatred,” but that she felt she would “have to” vote for Vindman anyway.

Ah, Democracy

The one party system is 100% bullshit.

As in: both "parties" are barely two sides to a shitcoin in the oligarchs' pocket. Fuckin' bullshit.✊🏼

Both of the Vindman's turned out to be real pieces of shit.
