rumored to be in contention for a seat in a potential Harris cabinet

No, fuck that. Do not let this neocon anywhere near power, we saw what happened the last time a Cheney was in the cabinet. Use her for the campaign if you think it'll help but dump her ass as soon as we win. She has nearly no political capital, she even lost her primary and is out of the house, there's no reason to court her.

Any exclusionary conformist society can look good on the surface if you ignore the people outside the dominant class. The 50s in America looks idyllic if you ignore black people, women who didnt want to be housewives, leftists etc. Same with barbie world, if you arent a hyper femme straight cis women you probably wouldn't have a good time there. That was sort of the message of the movie too, if you don't make your society open to different people or ways of life it will build resentment that can lead to the fall of the society

And 7 times the margin of victory left the presidential spot on the ballot blank in Michigan, if stein wasn't on the ballot they would've just gone there. People did not like Hillary, blame her for that not stein.

What do you mean by disappear? Did Joe Biden disappear after Trump was elected only to show up and run for President? No it's just that he didn't have a job in politics so the media didn't cover anything he was doing and he "disappeared". If it wasn't for the medias obsession with trump he probably would've disappeared in these last few years too. What do you expect a candidate whose not currently in office to do between runs that wouldn't make them disappear?

She should work on building her party

She does, but this isn't England there's no mass party system where there is much off election work to do. If your party doesn't have any representation then it's job is to get representation, and the only time you can do that is during election periods, especially big ones like the presidential season. Even party's that have representation do most of there work during the campaign season. The Democrats ramp up there work and engagement multiple times over leading into the election.

Tear impressionable young left-leaning voters from a party that could win

Kamala's Gaza policy did that, stein is just picking up people who wouldn't have voted any way or would've left President blank. The people voting for her aren't stupid, they know she isn't going to win, they're voting for her because they don't like Kamala and are trying to send her a message.

I'm doing my part to fight back, moved to California from Michigan and my girlfriend used to say pop ironically but she's said it so much now she uses it too.

Nah, it's there hats that are red this time

I fail to see how this crime fighting measure involves more cops, guns and racism so I don't think you'll be able to convince the "tough on crime" "pro life" GOP supreme court on this.

He's just saying it'll be great when there's some management changes and you'll get promoted to chief Jewish inspector ... That is if you know German and aren't Jewish yourself.

Revolutions by Mike Duncan. It's a history podcast with each season about a revolution, American, French, South American etc. with a huge backlog

Already listened through once but now I put it on to go to sleep, cause it's fine if I miss something now.

To be fair they haven't rolled this out yet, so the best they can do is send these letters.

It's an enemy-of-my-enemy situation

Thats the same situation that stein is in, and the wider pro-palestinian movement are in with white supremacists like David Duke. Yes they support your movement but have completely different worldview and in most cases opposing values and motives. The right thing to do in that case is what stein, and most of the pro-palestinian movement have done and call these people out for the trash they ,denounce them, and remove them from the gathering spaces. Granted Cheney is a different case then David Duke and it's up to each group to decide where to draw the line. I personally would draw it away from a plutocratic war criminal like Cheney.

If not for moral principle then for strategic reasons, having those people around discredits you. Yeah the pro-palestinian group could gain a couple white supremacists but they lose far more support among the great majority of people who despise white supremacists. Yeah the dems could gain some of those Romney Republicans , but they're also alienating the people who hate Cheney and everything he represents. That ratio is obviously less one sided then the Nazi, anti-Nazi ratio, hopefully, but it's still a chance your taking on Cheney. I wouldn't take that since Cheneys popularity and legacy have tanked in value in the last decade.

If you think this reflects badly on stein ask yourself 2 questions, did he endorse her because she's also a white supremacist? Did she accept the endorsement?

The answer to the first is probably no since stein is a Jewish women so I don't think she'd get along well with all the other white supremacists who think she's sub-human. The reason he endorsed her was because she's the only one who would end the war in Gaza and fight the "Jewish lobby". If your a Zionist and believe that any action against Israel is anti-Semitic then yeah stein and Duke are the same. If you live outside that delusional world then you'd recognize dukes dislike for Israel and steins, (and most of the worlds) dislike for Israel come from two completely different values systems and world views.

The answer to the second is easier, No, her campaign rejected it and called him trash as soon as they heard about it.

So does this actually reflect badly on stein, or is this just the ravings of an insane person who's trying to elect a Jewish woman to take out his imagined grand Jewish conspiracy? Critique stein if you want but this is nothing.

That explains why they support her, it doesn't explain why Harris is bragging about that endorsement and campaigning with him. Especially when her main message is saving democracy and he's the guy that actually stole an election.

This is just a small gift to the black bourgeois who make up a small portion of the black population and need help the least.

What black people need is broad programs that help all people. Investment in inner City schools, free school lunch programs, affordable and public housing, Medicare for all etc. Black capitalism and neo liberal programs like this aren't going to help your average black person

First off fuck trump and his authoritarian attacks on free speech. Even if the media is being misleading we need to protect it. He needs to be kept as far away from any position of power as possible, preferably behind bars.

Also fuck CBS though, this wasn't him getting mad about them publishing a damaging story on him. It was about 60 minutes editing there interview where the actual clip shows Harris giving a completely incoherent non answer when questioned about netanyahu not listening and escalating the war, and replaced it with a slightly more coherent non answer about it. The media is supposed to speak truth to power and press candidates when they give bullshit like this on serious matters, not help them cover it up. If not for ethics then just to maintain there credibility. They don't deserve to be shut down or have there license revoked but they should be shamed and held to a higher standard.

Yeah, and Vietnam should've worked on rebuilding there country after the war instead of taking out polpot.

Genocidal regimes are a threat to all humanity and need to be fought against, especially when it's just a denouncement which costs nothing. It's not like they're sending billions to the area while the poor in their country go without food, like the u.s.

Can't wait to see the media/israel try and label her an anti-semite.

I liked in his presentation how he mentioned how bad LA traffic was and how it takes hours to cross the city, then didn't mention how all these robo taxis, if they ever become a thing, would just exacerbate the problem.

"Oh but while you wait in the deadlock traffic you can be on your phone instead of paying attention and stressing out" yeah, but I can also already do that on a bus / train and those actually help to alleviate traffic.

They might be only able to do those other things since they are able to pay an army to terrorize, intimidate and bribe local and state government's into allowing them to exist and set up these protection racquets. It takes a lot of money to be able to be more powerful then a government, I don't think selling avocados or logging could generate that much

Ismail Haniyeh , the Hamas leader who was assassinated in Iran a couple months back, was also pushing hard for a cease fire and was much more open to negotiating then the guy who replaced him who is pretty hard line.

Netanyahu doesn't want peace and will kill anyone he can to keep this war going and keep him in power and out of jail.
