Welcome to The Now

 

 

 Again: ignore the American political pendulum and break from the duopoly. One of the American Right's biggest events could only muster terrible merch, non-name influencers and the children of former dictators: Neither Republicans nor Democrats have much to offer but violence, abuse, and extraction of wealth.  The Democrats kneecapped Bernie Sanders twice, than made him carry water for his opponents. Joe Biden mumbled his way through four years, ignoring infrastructure, the economy and geopolitical issues abroad. When Donald Trump returned to the spotlight, all of a sudden Biden was too old and his own party booted him out (after telling the voters that there won't be any primaries) and crowned Kamala Harris the candidate. Harris spent her campaign failing to disassociate herself from Biden, the genocide in Gaza, and a crumbling economy. Trump was no better; for his second term he promised to fix the economy and end/prevent wars. Instead, he tariffed the planet (making America...

 

 

 

 

 File under, "Can't Make This Stuff Up:" And speaking of Bernie Sanders, latest attempt to recruit for Democrats using quasi-socialist rhetoric:  Seriously; compare Bernie Sanders' language to Kshama Sawant's:  Neither Democrats nor Republicans will save America. They both want to orchestrate the fall of China (and Russia), increase the country's imperial stranglehold on the planet and maintain the capitalistic oppression of their citizens. They may say different things and take different approaches, but the endgame is the same. 

Sanders would be better off joining independent or third-party based organizations who are already fighting against the oligarchy:

We can at least say that an attempt was made: Sadly, "Trump is worse" is not sufficient enough when the alternative to "opening supporting genocide" is, "passively endorsing genocide." And on the issue of Gaza, the West Bank and the Palestinian people that's the difference between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.  Never mind that Harris's latest response to American voters who are concerned about genocide is basically: " You should worry more about being able to afford groceries ." Here's Sanders' "plan" for dealing with PM Benjamin Netanyahu (either by coercing him or replacing him): An immediate ceasefire;  The return of all hostages;  A surge of massive humanitarian aid;  The stopping of settler attacks on the West Bank;  The rebuilding of Gaza for the Palestinian people. So let's address these points, shall we? Neither Netanyahu nor his political party wish for a ceasefire . The return of hostages is not as impo...

  And remember: all this "diversity" yet not one Palestinian took the stage. 

 

 Not so much a rally as is was a Sheepherder-Palooza:

 His staff had Code Pink protesters arrested (apparently for the crime of wanting him to live up to one of his old foreign policy stances):

 The person who used to call for a political revolution is now just rehashing old campaign talking points in order to coax voters into voting for "the lesser of too evils" instead of third party candidates.

 Props to Hard Lens Media for noticing this oversight (and with Cenk it could either be on purpose or because for him it was more important to make his point):

 Why would elected officials who call for peace or criticize defense budgets turn around and vote against an oversight panel?

 There was a time when it seemed that Sanders was a real gadfly to the more imperialist and anti-worker elements within the Democratic Party. That time has come and gone:

 Consider this yet another reality-check: Bernie Sanders has endorsed Joe Biden and will not run in 2024 . One of the pillars of the "Vote Marianne" Left is that she's only a few degrees off from Sanders and therefore is deserving to be his heir apparent. Sanders backing Biden pretty much demolishes that pillar. A number of those pushing for Williamson -like Kyle Kulinski- were Bernie supporters in 2016 and 2020. Kulinski is most likely aware of Bernie's endorsement because he was on top of Biden's announcement . And not for nothing, he made some quick videos about Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon being fired, so "breaking stories" aren't a foreign concept to him.  Then again, we know he's ignored such "in-your-face" stories before when they were inconvenient ; what's to say that he won't do it again? Of course, then these guys would have to explain why their political prophet Bernie Sanders is wrong and go through mental hoops t...

 Marianne Williamson is not the solution . It's not stopping her online left-leaning supporters from ignoring reality to the point that they are ironically using the very arguments that third-party advocates used in the last few election cycles.  Case in Point is this: Remember this is the same guy who put up multiple videos saying that Bernie could/should ask for concessions for dropping out in 2020 (which he wasn't/didn't), than proceeded to make "Biden's actually doing some good stuff!" videos. People like him are invested in the Bernie narrative, and can't psychologically break from that.
