What we need to do is get rid of FPTP, because so long as that's how the system works breaking away will only guarantee that the fascists win permanently.

They're there to sheepdog the voters into believing progressive candidates a valued part of the democratic party despite the fact that more than most of the good things progressives have accomplished are entirely outside of the chambers of congress. The democrats refuse to work with progressives unless they are forced too, like that time the progressives asked Pelosi to consider stock trading bans and she denied them until it was clear that was horrible PR, then decided to come around to vocally supporting it later, once the political will to pass the bill was dying down. Progressives are there for show.

Yeah, Bernie is demonstrating this by refusing to endorse a ceasefire.

No, she was censured for seemingly calling for the end of Israel. That is not the same as Palestinian freedom.

[-] coradora@beehaw.org 24 points 11 months ago

She only called for the end of the apartheid state that systematically tortures the Palestinians under its brutal occupation. She called for equal rights for all Palestinian people so that they are no longer second class citizens.

It was wrong when America, Britain, South Africa, and countless other colonialist countries did it in the past, and it is wrong for Israel to do it now. Apartheid is a disgusting system that brutalizes millions of innocent civilians. The average age in Gaza is like 19 years old. They are mostly children.

Do you condemn Israel for the murder of over 4000 children?
