    American leftist will rain down fire and brimstone and yell about the crimes of Europe and the Global North until it comes to getting their slice THEN its suddenly all part of the “plan” and totally strategic.

      Yeah, there’s way too much uncritical celebration of Zorhan. Of course I don’t expect a demsoc to be Lenin, but he made that comment about Venezuela just three months before Maduro was kidnapped. Trump fixed his sights back on Cuba not long after and we’ve seen how that’s going.

      I guess everyone’s expected to move on from this, but it feels like abandoning my principles to just let it go. Tbh it’s frustrating to see how many people are fine with doing so.

          he was asked a gotcha question by a gusano talk show host during the campaign and he gave a shitty response because he was caught off guard being accused of wanting to be a scary communist authoritarian dictator

          that gusano talk show host knowing I could buy but this is just deranged

            Caught off guard or gave a pre-meditated answer? I don’t believe he didn’t spare a thought about the matter, given the not insignificant hispanophone minority of NYC.

      not american and don’t live in america. i’m brown and in bangladesh lol. ive had my taste of the US going to college there and its bad enough that i appreciate measures being taken to lessen the suffering of the broke ass everyday individuals like me when i was there.

      it’s always fuck israel, it’s always death to america. voting for someone is a pragmatic choice, it does not mean you fully endorse the guy’s ideology nor does it exclude you from actually organizing.
