  • Listen, not all nazi soldiers were particularly bad. I’m sure a chef in the rear guard probably did not do a single war crime. But when the SS existed we know that the chef isn’t what most people refer to when discussing war crimes of the era.

    Its the same in this era. Sure, there are bad guys all over the place, but compare to the US there’s really only a handful of entities in the post WWII era that could be equals, and none more evil.









  • The gangs formed due to foreign invasion and an illegitimate state seizing power. They aren’t some separate group from the people, they are the people that should decide what state they have. The primary victims of the largest gang, for instance, were politicians and un ‘workers’, the latter of which regularly were caught raping women and children.

    The gangs are the security. Against actual evil. These aren’t international cartel members or gun runners or even drug dealers. They’re resistance to occupation.








  • Obama was also 16 years ago and a plurality of rep voters since that time, in the specific demo you mention, have long since died.

    Racism is absolutely alive and thriving, don’t get me wrong, but if montana can elect a trans person and most the south have black members in their state congresses for the first time since jim crow, it’s not as big an issue as it once was.

    What unifies left and right voters is talk of focusing on the working class, acknowledging their struggle, and presenting some plan. It doesn’t even have to be good as we’ve seen from trump’s first election. You just have to not be a fucking snob.

    And guess who is great at messaging that vibe while having been put down by right wing media for being too working class? AOC.

    She’s left wing enough to energize disillusioned leftie votes, she’s young enough to energize disillusioned youth votes, she’s right wing enough to not scare off conservatives, and she’s working class enough to connect with dissimilar working class voters. Add on to the constant stories of trumps ineptitude even being pushed by right wing media and you have the perfect answer to her inexperience.

    If the dems want to have the slightest chance of winning, she’s the only candidate with enough name recognition to come close to winning. If they run yet another career politician or corrupt cop, they want to lose, simple as that.
