    Colonial terror turning inward as the empire’s grip on the world weakens. The Jakarta Method applied to white people on american soil.

        Lmao, he asked people to not get drunk and then climb on light poles and fight the police. That feels like a perfectly reasonable thing to request in a two sentence tweet as the mayor of a city.

    the thing is they dont see graham platner as bad bc he did nothing wrong to americans.

    idk if this has happened before but i really want to see how americans would react to a very ”anti-racist” democrat candidate who runs on helping the black community in the US, but served the US military when they waged war in africa.

    We have Abdul El-Sayed this go-around, for the same office, who actually has a history of being a progressive, a union member, and somewhat anti-imperialist. The difference is that he’d be flipping a centrist Democrat seat instead of an old-guard Republican seat. Gram Planter is the logical continuation of Blue No Matter Who, where the party composition of Congress justifies any and all means to achieve it.

        Right but the primaries for seats they hold matter less to them than the primaries dor seats they don’t hold. The exact political positions are secondary to the parliamentary operation.
