Lifelong #socialist; #vegan; part of the radical upsurge of the 60s/70s. I live by Gramsci's famous squib, "pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will." Because I'm a democrat, I'm not a Democrat. Born 3 days after the #Nakba. All Power to the People

Stumblin' Joe has his good days and bad; on all those days, however, let it be noted he is the unfailing supporter of genocide in Palestine. Self-anointed zionist that he is, there's no surprise in that. Give him some more ice cream.

Say It Ain’t So, Joe www.counterpunch.org/2024/07/05/s... #Biden #Trump #Obama In this wide-ranging article, never is there a challenge to the explicitly undemocratic process of the (s)election of candidates to head the (D) ticket. And of course, never a mention of how 3rd parties are muted.

The overarching turn to the right, whereby whatever people think are Labour in the UK or Democrats in the US, neither are progressive or left. They constitute the right-wing capitalist colonial empire that runs the world. Hence the desperate need for radical progressive politics now

My last post of the day is great good news:
Jeremy #Corbyn has been reelected, this time as an Independent MP, easily outpacing his Labour opponent. Congratulations to this principled, outstanding socialist and human being.

Democrats Are So Mad at #Biden They Have a Brutal New Nickname for Him www.yahoo.com/news/democra... This short article doesn't show/convey anger at all; the relevant "donkey in the room" is just a play on the elephant cliché. Now, tho, (D)'s are saying aloud what wasn't before. That's about it.

As sit happens, I posted this as well--it can be heard, via Democracy Now, either in my timeline or over at the DN site.

Saw a video of a little Palestinian girl, still alive, a look of resignation in her eyes, with her jaw blown off. In between endless droves of Americans pretending that the only reason that Biden's in trouble is his age. The only reason, nothing else. To live in the world of empire is insanity.
