Democrats taking the House and handing Hakeem Jeffries the gavel isn’t a victory for working people. It’s the same **duopoly** with a different manager. If the donors still set the agenda and corporate power stays untouched, what exactly did we win?

Biden killed double the amount of Palestinians in Gaza that Trump has, in half the time.

If there are still those who entertain the slightest hope that the hegemonic system may change behavior or shifts in its political parties may bring about change, or that by making concessions to the US, they can persuade it to abandon its hostility, they're gravely mistaken.

Sorry to rain on the parade, but shifting from the red capitalist party to the blue capitalist party simply ensures that the source of our problems, capitalism, remains unthreatened.
Americans should rejoice that Trump and the Republicans were defeated, but we should be clear-eyed about the deeper reality: Trump has always been nothing more than a symptom of a decrepit capitalist system that values profits more than people.
Democrats winning the House and Senate, does not change the capitalist and imperialist system that we live under. It simply gives the system a more palatable face for the liberal class, which means there will be less resistance to the horrors of capitalism and imperialism.
The wars overseas will rage on. The genocides in Gaza, Lebanon, and Sudan will not stop. The mass exploitation of workers and the cost of living crisis will continue unabated all while the rich keep getting richer.
All those atrocities will continue under the Democrats because they serve the exact same capitalist and imperialist system as Republicans. This is the insanity of the duopoly that voters can’t seem to figure out.
With that said, I will always believe a better world is possible. I am just clear-eyed in that this better world cannot be born from the system that created the decaying world we inhabit now.
It can only be born from the people rising up together and fighting for a new system where workers own the means of production and resources are used for the benefit of all!

The USA is a genocidal dictatorship. Its Nazi Team A vs Nazi Team B elections don’t change that. 100% of US senators, including Sanders, voted to confirm Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.

Part horse, part fish, and full of character. Such a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.

This Haley Stevens shit is hilarious.
Who really believes El-Sayed is some radical? LOL. C'mon guys. NO Democrat who is allowed to get the nomination is a radical. It's not possible.

Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like “10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey (22,610 km2).”
Netanyahu has dropped 223,000+ tonnes of explosives on Gaza (365 km2) - the equivalent of ~22 nukes on 1.6% the size of New Jersey

FROM SENATE CAMPAIGN TO ETHNIC STEREOTYPES: RFK JR.’S REMARKS DEMAND SCRUTINY
Why is America’s top health official attacking an entire population’s intellectual contributions? At a Michigan appearance supporting Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made sweeping claims about Arabs’ achievements in science and literature. Rogers’s campaign has also accused Democratic rival Abdul El-Sayed of ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, allegations El-Sayed denies.
Criticizing a candidate or political movement is one thing. Turning hundreds of millions of people into a campaign target is another.
Scientific progress needs investment, education and stability. Across parts of the Middle East and North Africa, war, foreign intervention and authoritarian rule have damaged those foundations. Libya illustrates the complexity: Gaddafi funded public services while presiding over repression; NATO’s 2011 intervention and the chaos that followed cannot disappear from the discussion either. None of that excuses abusive governments.
It means we cannot ignore the conditions societies endure, then use their struggles to stereotype their people. Scrutinize governments. Challenge political movements. But do not erase Arab achievements to score campaign points. Intellectual potential does not depend on ethnicity or nationality.

If I have no say or vote on whether my country goes to war or not, then what's the point of voting at all? I can't trust politicians to represent me when they're bought & paid for by someone else & will lie for a bag. I can't stand seeing ppl try to guilt other folks into voting.
