How can they learn what they already knew? The weakness/corruption/etc. is on purpose to serve their donors. The DNC already knows how powerful a leftist, grassroots movement is, which is why they snub the lefty candidate at every chance instead of letting their namesake run its course.

Yes, please pasteurize it first.
At least two governments in the world are at least attempting to hold their leaders somewhat accountable (the other being Korea).
I wish Israel would also be trying him for war crimes and join the ICC, but that’s a tall dream.
Maybe in our current state, where corruption can occur, but in a new, more democratic system where corruption can’t occur because no single person will have enough wealth or the financial incentive to be able to buy politicians.
The problem isn’t electoral politics, but that we don’t live in a democracy.
You mean like a Library Economy? /s (partially)
And Red Scare propaganda.
We are all walkin’ here on this blessed day.
You don’t even have to join. ICE wears plainclothes, drives unmarked vehicles, wears masks, and never shows their badge. Anyone can be ICE.
a) Improvement doesn’t necessailly mean good or effective in the long term.
b) The design ceases to matter when the execution doesn’t match. Actions speak louder than words. We have also given the federal executive branch much more power than necessary, and they have continuously ceased more power, whether that be through intelligence agencies acting extrajudicially and unconstitutionally (NSA, CIA, FBI, etc.), waging war on drugs (and therefore, the American people) and militarizing the police, the president having immunity for all crimes that are “official acts”, etc.
There is also the undemocratic Supreme Court, who with Marbury v Madison, gave themselves the ability to essentially unilaterally enact laws.
I can’t comment on EU politics because I don’t know much about it.
You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
Yeah, but I still get major socdem vibes from her. I don’t see much in terms of true anti-capitalist, pro-socialist messaging.
Turns out, when you allow any one person to have massive amounts of power (money in the case of capitalism), they will do everything possible to seize more power.
You can also consider the fact that elitism was a massive part of the founding of the US, which is why we have situations like the Senate where land votes more than people, the Electoral College which does the same thing, not banning slavery from day 1 which we’re still seeing the effects of to this day, not having any method for federal direct ballot initiatives, etc.
The issue is capitalism itself, as individuals are still allowed to hold power over other people one way or the other.
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.
He should have thought about that before raping someone.
That being said, I’m not in favor of non-rehabilitory prisons in general. I prefer the Nordic model for prisons, whers they’re isolated from society, but still treated like people.
And I thought Deep Throat was funny enough.
She’s missing out by not joining in.
The Democratic party has always just been another branch of the wealthy. Neoliberalism is a cancer that really kicked into gear when Heritage Foundation-backed president Ronald Reagan came into office. Obama (I believe in his second term) said that back in the 80s, he would have been considered a moderate Republican.
Emergency rooms are all equally as expensive. I don’t think there are “networks” for ERs specifically.
Ah, I thought you were talking about the concept of electoral politics in general and not this specific moment in the US.
