  1. @BwareDWare94 I don’t think Trump is a white supremacist either but he’s clearly more than willing to use their support to his own ends so he can continue to profit off being president. Is that any better than being a white supremacist? Not in my opinion. It just goes to show how little he cares about the country and what lengths he would go to to enrich himself. Trump is an absolute piece of shit. 


  2. So Trump didn’t denounce white supremacy. God I really don’t want to vote for Biden. I really hate the fucking rapist piece of shit but if Trump wins, everyone that didn’t support Bernie absolutely deserves Donald Trump. I hope the economy tanks and they’re all brought to their knees. Hope you still like your private insurance plans. Maybe once the country has been burnt to the ground and you’re not so comfortable anymore you’ll get it.

    I am serious. If they toss mail in votes because they claim they are fraudulent with no proof, the system will have failed us and violence will be the last resort. There are plenty of eyes watching them. If they steal this election, we will know. I don't think they can do it without us knowing.

    That just gives them an excuse to bring in the military and use all their tools of surveillance to arrest everyone. The real solution would be just to stop going to work and march on Capitol Hill. We’ve seen we can bring this country to it’s knees simply by not going to work.

     

    in Japan bus drivers wanted a raise so they let everyone ride for free and it only took a day of that for them to get what they want. All we need is solidarity.

  4. The only way we can get these changes is to be in the streets. No politician on either side of aisle care about you and I with the exception of a handful if we’re lucky. So like I said, you might not agree with their tactics and there might be some opportunists but they’re the only ones fighting this shit. I really don’t think there’s a political solution to this but we can’t win with violence either because we don’t have tanks and drones or any spying capabilities so shutting down cities And strikes might literally be our only option.

    Nah. They ain't fighting for my anything. 

    Same for those losers in Seattle who set up and enforce their autonomous zone. Maybe the original idea was pure, but when you're beating up random people going into your zone or even jsut people you don't like... You are officially a moron. I feel awful for anyone who owns a business in that zone, complete mayhem. Those pricks look out for nobody but themselves. Just more divisive egged on or allowed by the government to distract. I know they've been mostly scuttled by now but so many in the area still feeling the aftermath of them "fighting for everyones rights" lmao. Unacceptable.

    At least they’re doing something. I think some people will always be looking for opportunities and the feds are always looking to antagonize. Not all of them are there fighting for rights or anything for that matter really but the movement to protect our rights has virtually no organization or direction but it’s a response to the slow militarization of the police and erosion of our rights to due process. 


  6. @Favre4Everthe people in Portland, whether or not you agree with their tactics are fighting for YOUR constitutional rights to due process and if you value property rights over that then you’re a fool. You won’t get them back if you don’t stand with black lives matter. Period. Most people own nothing of consequence but debt in reality and are a few bad months from losing it all which is a very distinct possibility as the economy continues to collapse and who will be there to help the banks take everything they own? The cops because who do they really protect and serve?

    If you sit there and dont vote when the literal democracy of this country is at stake, you're as bad as they are. Get out and fix this. Biden is bad. He's not a dictator. Trump gets four more years we might not have another fair election.

    Biden is up 9-10. He's up 4-5 in most of the swing states. This is not an inevitable Trump victory, its not even close.

    With Republicans controlling most every court and governorship, how many of those mail in ballots will be “lost” or thrown out for whatever bullshit reason they decide? This election is over and honestly, I think Biden would take the ball and run with it even if he did win. He’s spent his entire political career creating the circumstances that have made it possible for Trump to have all this authoritarian power and you think when he finally gets his chance to be president he’s just going to give that power up? Maybe he’s at least get back into nuclear treaties. Maybe he would be slightly better. I honestly don’t know who I’m voting for at this point. I might suck it up and vote for him but I’m not as convinced as you that it really matters. Whatever justice he would nominate would be an anti-worker fascist that supports women’s reproductive rights....yay


  8. A lot of people criticizing the riots also claim to want a revolution. Elections are rigged. Media is owned by the same people that looted the treasury for trillions of dollars. What did they do to the peaceful protesters who wanted clean water in North Dakota? What did they do to Occupy Wallstreet protesters? How much news coverage did striking workers get during covid. How did people react to Colin Kaepernick's peaceful demonstration? Revolutions aren't nice. They aren't peaceful. POWER CEDES NOTHING WITHOUT DEMAND.


  9. What are your guys thoughts on the proposed playoff format if the NBA returns this season. I think it's really interesting and it kind of eliminates the whole strength of conference thing that the NBA has struggled with for a while. Would love to see how the East stacks up against the West in this kind of format.


  10. Twitter and facebook are trying to be cautious with Trump because they're facing ant-trust suits atm and all Trump has to do is enforce the laws that are already on the books. Obviously he doesn't want to do that because he's in favor of monopolies and authoritarianism. I guarantee you that he's trying to leverage that fact against them so that he can have some sway on what's said and what's censored on social media platforms. Seems like you guys are all way off the mark here. Sometimes censorship isn't overt. If you disagree, come back to me when posts on social media are "fact checked" by representatives of the healthcare industry. lolololololololololololol


  11. Don't allow fear and uncertainty to trick you into clamoring for corporate fascists like facebook, twitter and Google to deny you of your agency. They use despicable people like Alex Jones and Donald Trump to manufacture consent so that they can de-platform the left...the real left. Not the Neo-Liberal left. The real targets of censorship are always those who threaten corporate power. The purpose and in the fact legal responsibility of these organizations is to rape and exploit everyone that you know and love...everyone that they can in order to maximize their quarterly profits. Always start with that universal truism and work backwards when analyzing their behavior. Don't be fooled by their virtue signaling.

    Justin Amash is exploring potential to run for President as a Libertarian. Phew... thought I might have to vote for Trump for a second there.

    Greens, Libertarians and other people running for a 3rd party should hold an election betweem them and like we used to do to select a president have the winner on top of the ticket with the runner up as VP. We have to turn out and unite people who are outside of the political system. We need to form coalitions because the elite are in lockstep regardless of party.


  13. If you think about it, Joe Biden is the perfect representation of the democratic party. An old, declining, empty husk controlled by lobbyists and think tanks. He's a hired con artist selling the American people the biggest con of all, the illusion of choice and democracy that currently exists in this country. The only choice on the ballot is corporate power. 


  14. So they can bend the knee to Pelosi and Schumer while we send them more of our money?  They don't have the courage to call out party leadership because they're afraid of not getting on a good committee? Well what has that gotten them? Remember when like 5 people from the Freedom Caucus held congress hostage? Lol let me give a sports analogy here. In what sport are you successful playing scared? What do you ever accomplish in anything by acting out of fear? They couldn't even try to force an actual vote just to make sure there was some accountability because they're scared of optics I guess but the thing about optics is that they change. Remember how popular the Iraq war was innitially? How does it look for those who just went along with it now? This stimulus bill wasn't just a bad vote or a mistake. This is the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the country from the bottom and the middle to the tippy top and the only "resistance" they could muster was meaningless, grandstanding speeches and twitter posts after the fact. The funny thing is that the Republicans are still saying Dems held up the bill and they're still deficit hawking and calling us Commies. Lololololol
