I was hoping for the same thing, but after watching her livestream from earlier this week, she all but explicitly says she'll support Jeffries.

Why? Because 1) it's completely uncontested right now so there is no alternative on the ballot, and 2) if she doesn't, the leadership will make sure she gets no comittee assignments and therefore no real influence. It really was eye opening and disappointing to hear how the sausage is made. It seems like step #1 is to get an alternative to throw their hat into the ring and even that hasn't happened yet.

A 100 minute video from AOC? I'd love to watch it, why would she only post it to Instagram? Are there any mirrors out there?

You're seriously defending the Great Leap Forward where peasants were made to live in communes and melt down their metal tools in backyard furnaces to make worthless pig iron while the nation starved due to inept and incompetent agricultural practices being enforced on them by the dictatorship? It's almost laughable if it wasn't so tragic - yes, farmers, just plant all your seed in a giant pit and it will grow thick enough to stand on!

My older Chinese born coworker who grew up in one of these communes didn't know who his parents were, didn't know his birthday, all because of that tyrannical shit. And it certainly wasn't necessary to "mature the economy" or whatever your joke of an explanation is.

You're entitled to your opinion, but to anyone else reading, everything he has said is easily disproven drivel. I won't be replying again.

For anyone else reading this who isn't a communist dictatorship lickspittle, read about the Great Leap Forward and the 100 Flowers Campaign for examples of how Mao's bloodthirst and incompetence killed so many Chinese.

Your president is a dictator who has been in power since 2012 after removing term limits. This dictator has declared himself in office for life, as all dictators do. You may be happy with the result, but you do not have the right to choose your highest leader, and are by definition ruled by a dictator.

They were withholding funding because they are Russian compromised fascists who support Hitlerian invasions of neighboring countries. The complaint about his attire was just the lie of the day.

The minor arcana in this deck is kinda lame, but the major arcana is pretty fun. I'd only recommend for hard core Trek and Tarot nerds who are interested in using the major only, which is fun to combine with other decks for some flavor in readings.

So many naive and disengenuous both-siders in this thread. You all support the guy who said the constitution should be disolved and signed an executive order attempting to overrule precedent set by Marbury v. Madison in 1803 because "both sides"?

The Democratic party hasn't held the kind of 3 branch power MAGA currently abuses since the Obama era and they never did half of the corrupt shit the tired old man you worship does on the daily. Your both-sidesism rings hollow.

This post is about the 24 hour panic machine designed to make you hate your neighbors which was an invention of Fox News, capitalizing on the fearful post-911 political environment.

Typical MAGA scum - they hate free speech and want to murder their neighbors while disguising themselves with the ceremonial trappings of philosophies which espouse the opposite.
