The UN charter explicitly states that even the *threat* of using force is in violation of the Geneva Conventions and is considered a war crime. But why would we let a little document that we used to hold nazi’s accountable stop us from our imperial efforts?

Yeah so a bunch of corporations paid for obama to get into office and then he didn’t put them in jail for widespread fraud. I don’t really know how that isn’t being beholden to corporations. It’s pretty cut and dry actually.

You realize obama got millions of dollars in donations from the financial industry in his 2008 bid for the presidency. He then didn’t prosecute a single wall street banker for fraud. Funny how that happened.

Yes Sanders totally wanted to get involved in that version of the conversation. It’s all people have been asking him. Leave it to a student of Harvard to ask the most obvious extremist question of enfranchisement and totally ignore any benefits to the vast majority of prisoners who have been locked up for petty…

Well I mean the GOP is probably the greatest terrorist organization that has existed in human history but i don’t hear meghan complaining much about them.

The mega rich will always do what’s best for their money and power. If Sanders is the nominee expect these nominally liberal elite donors to at best remain “neutral” in the race to, at worst, go full Trump. That’s how the elite has always functioned and I don’t see them changing now.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe it was because the change didn’t go far enough is why they lost the government? Or that Obama didn’t bring any hope or change?

Then why are all her aides reassuring health insurance companies that that very thing will not happen? She’s also not even a sponsor of the current Medicare for All bill in the house. She’s experienced enough to know that her money insulates her from all the horrors that come out of our government.

How many more countries need to literally be swallowed up by the sea until Nancy Pelosi starts taking climate change seriously? How many more people need to die from lack of health care before Nancy Pelosi gets on board with a free health care program? At her rate of learning it will take another 50 years.

Why tf did the liberal media feel the need to fucking die on the Dan Crenshaw hill? The dude is an out and out scumbag. When he was just a lowly candidate for a rep seat he was an admin for an extreme far right, islamophobic, conspiracy theory pushing facebook page. Why is that never brought up when he’s interviewed…

This is the strongest Dem field in a loooooong time.

I think this is a pretty good article about if leftists should engage with the right wing or not:

Yes it was Hillary Clinton’s socialist ideology that caused her to lose to Donald Trump.

Because she’s actually a psychopathic dominionist ideologue.

Shit like what? Actually criticizing Obama on anything? There is an insane cult of personality syndrome surrounding him with the liberal base. People wonder how some people will defend Trump thru everything. I often ask myself the same question with Obama.

They do! That’s the problem with his rhetoric. Scores of people just keep asking the same ignorant question without relaying how those candidates plan on paying for it. They do have plans, he either doesn’t care to look into it or he cynically keeps asking these questions cause he doesn’t want those policies at all.

Let’s say there is a man who leverages his fame to get a $100 mil book deal. We then take most of that and give it to people who actually need it. We don’t stop at this one man though. We apply that policy to people who make similarly obscene amounts of money. There, policy paid for.

Hey Trump also got elected on long odds maybe we should also listen to him then? Your comment is very cool.

Not everyone in Syria agrees with Assad which is an obvious fact. However, they are all Syrians and their lands were stolen by an Imperial army. It’s not right to steal land from another country no matter who the leader of the victimized country was/is.

“shooting ourselves in the dick by arguing which candidate passes the purity test; we seem to want the perfect be the enemy of the good. and the country- the world even, cannot have us argue among ourselves.”
