    We like to joke about liberals being do-nothings, but I just saw some guy talking about how he’s going to stop going to red states or spending money there to “topple the oligarchy.” They literally think that not doing things is going to stop fascism. It’s ridiculous.

        That the majority of Democrats have always and will always caucus with the Republicans to suppress the left.

          I think that part was obvious, I think the real question is, what the fuck is a bill to “Denounce” anything.

          Seriously, I assume there’s a bill to “Denounce” facism too right? Can we get a bill to say “nickleback isn’t very good?”.

          What exactly is a bill with no actual prescriptions?

              Geeze, so fricking ridiculous. Though I also have to ask… why the hell is europe “abstained” on that one. You’d think the guys that were wrecked by WW1 would be first in line to say “Fascism is bad”.

                EU and countries that desperately want to be EU (like Albania, they want it so bad they even became the only muslim majority country that joined US on Xinjiang propaganda) licking US boot.

                I mean look Poland of all places, that lost 6 million people to the nazis and entire nation was in the extermination queue, voting like this is extremely gross.

      Whoa. Honestly, that’s a lot more Nays than I anticipated. Is there an easy way to check what were the nay-sayers positions during the debate?

    I am honestly shocked that “educated” people still overwhelmingly support them when it’s clear the DNC cannot be reformed and we are wasting time between its death and a new, better party that cannot exist before that because the US is a duopoly system and always has been. The Whigs replaced The Federalists because they all went to jail for collaborating with the British in 1812, the GOP replaced The Whigs because they all went to jail for corruption. No third party has ever jockeyed up, the prior party in that half of the duopoly just died. It is the DNC’s time.

        If we had a functional democracy, the majority of both parties’ leadership would be in jail or turned over to The Hague
