“Neoliberal Dems only provide lip service repeating MLK’s agenda and dreams. America has never been so divided and bigoted in every aspect of life:
from systematic racism-discrimination to income inequality, from police brutality to unjust justice system, from education system to health care etc etc etc”

“The decisions that our governments are making today will impact our planet for thousands of years. We have to say no to fossil fuel projects like the Willow oil project if we want to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

“Caitlin Johnstone writes
Don't celebrate on those rare occasions when one of them does the bare-minimum not-evil thing. Don't "give them credit". Don't think it proves anything about who they are as people. All it means is a shitty empire manager did one bare-minimum not-evil thing. They're still trash.
People tell me, "Ooh but Bernie said that one thing and voted against the whatever bullshit!" or "Ooh but Trump did that one thing and he says the media are bad!" So? So they did one thing that's not pure evil while managing the most depraved government on this planet. That doesn't mean anything.
Believing anyone in either mainstream party is your friend is believing that institutions which are explicitly designed to promote the interests of oligarchy and empire are going to help ordinary people like you. It's like believing you can put out a fire with enough gasoline.
There are no solutions to America's dysfunction in electoral politics. That doesn't mean there are no solutions, it just means you can't use something that's specifically designed to perpetuate the thing you don't like to end the thing you don't like.
Any time you're being told that a major figure in mainstream politics is fighting for you, you're being sold a psyop. You're being sold the false belief that the system works and can be used to achieve positive change. This is done to keep you from dispensing with that system.
In 2016 you could be forgiven for thinking electoral politics had some hope, but after watching Trump facilitate every deep state agenda in the book and watching Bernie cave and capitulate at every turn year after year, there's no excuse anymore. Stop buying into the puppet show.”
“In the year 2023 there’s really no excuse for ordinary Americans to believe any politician is on their side in either major party. The very best of them will only once in a while do the bare-minimum not-evil thing. Don’t make heroes of these scumbags. They’re not your friends.”
