He's probably shitting his diapers in impotent rage lol Imagine all the ketchup being thrown.
Keep it up AOC and Bernie!
He is all that and more
Well he fuckin is.
About FUCKING time.
Good go off queen!
Good. Speaking the truth
Trump has spent longer at rallies spewing insults at his personal and political enemies. The difference is that she is angry and fired up about justice and genuine love of country. Oh, and everything she said is actually true.
I support this message. Hope she doesn’t get deported.
AOC should team up with Blue State governors to campaign solely in their states, with their protection. Trump WILL try to dispose of her, it is only a matter of time. Having a state's National Guard to protect her from Dogey goons will be key to allowing AOC to continue working against the regime.
Oh if AOC is touched by that fucking scumbag will be the moment people riot. If not only the left but potentially some of the right who are fans of her as well, or at least fans of her energy (some have said they dont agree on policy but like how she really stands for working class families). I feel like as much as we cant really touch Trump (he would die a martyr for hard right nationalism) if the other side touches AOC the same thing happens but for the cause on the right side of history.
She will 100% but maybe that what need to be so a real revolution start because the peaceful protest don't do shit to stop fascist
We have no idea what a peaceful protest of significant size can do. We've never seen one.
We've seen peaceful protests, sure. And some not-so-peaceful ones. But non-violence is really difficult to manage and wield.
Are protests really about "doing" things though?
A rabble or riot might storm a location like on Jan 6, but is that going to topple a government? Maybe in the middle ages where you could depose a king but since then I don't think so.
Civil Unrest, if maintained over weeks and months might achieve something. If the population is ungovernable I imagine that might motivate republicans to impeach but things would have to get real bad.
Other than that a protest is really just a public statement of duress. It's an appeal to all the people who usually dont pay any attention to politics et cetera.
Too bad people couldn't be bothered to vote last year.
But it's okay. I'm sure the people who couldn't be bothered to pick up a ballot will be happy to pick up a rifle.
But the Democrats didn't offer them a pony
At this point, I assume anyone still harping on this is a conservative provocative looking to stir up division.
The truth is it's possible for more than one group to be at fault. Those who stayed home have a ton of blame, the centrist dipshits at the DNC have a ton of blame, and the Republicans themselves have the most blame of all.
Quit trying to sew division. We need unity now, not to rehash old grievances.
Oh FUCKING NOW we need unity?!
Fuck you people forever.
The left:
If we don't give voters what they want, we're gonna end up with fascism.
Fascists:
Take over a country because "moderates" fight the left harder than fascism
"Moderates":
Why dont we just blame the left again?
Do you legitimately not understand what's happening now?
Because it's literally the same way Nazis came to power the first time; "moderates" fighting the left
None of this is false is the thing. He's literally a criminal. He literally gave out a massive stock tip before reversing direction on tariffs again…
There are also those 34 felony convictions. And the civil court finding that he raped a woman.
Yup. It still boggles my mind that none of that was enough to make Republicans think twice about voting for him.
Now that he's impacting them financially? Oh noes! I might not vote Republican again! 🙀
But of course, it's way too late now and we'll be lucky if we even have another election at this point.
Well, they never heard that information. In many cases very literally. In other cases they "heard it" and dismissed it as "lying" of the "liberal media".
It's a cult.
And TREASON! He is literally the most prolific traitor in American history. Not just that, but he is a worse traitor than ALL other American traitors COMBINED!
Any discussion of his criminal activities should lead with the undeniable FACT that he is a Traitor.
Good point, yes. I really should have started with that…
Her and Bernie just had the largest political rally in Idaho since 08 Obama...
The people don't want trump
But the people don't want a shitbird neoliberals either.
For the vast amount of Dem voters, there's gonna be at least a 20 year gap between them being able to vote for something rather than just to stop a Republican.
Luckily we finally kicked the "moderates" out of DNC leadership for this first time since Jimmy Carter, longer than most of us have been alive they've had control to the detriment of America.
The reason mainstream media is finally ok with criticizing Dems. Is the neoliberals aren't in control anymore. So now the billionaires want Dem voters to fight the DNC.
Because billionaires no longer control the DNC
