⚠️THIS IS MUST SEE⚠️

Edward Bernays is one of the most important people in history that too few people know about.

Once you begin to know him and learn about what he is credited for, you’ll make connections that chip away at our manufactured reality.

Shocking to see this on tape

[Dr. Jill Stein🌻 @DrJillStein]

Don't let the latest version of the squad distract from 2 fundamental facts about both major parties:
1. The stranglehold of big money is getting worse, not better.
2. When it matters, billionaires call the shots.
Still can't have a revolution in a counter revolutionary party.

He’s talking to the rich, their operatives in politics and media, and the folks who submissively grovel and lick the boots of those who would have silence and obedience to the agenda of the rich.

[Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb]

I’m crying

@LyftLady11 @harrisonjaime @ThirdWayKessler …unless, of course, either a personal or ideological project is served by making a solid red state the first state, which the media will then jump on, to attempt to eliminate folks who promote policies that are left of party orthodoxy.

[Shawn of the Red @ShawnOfTheRed]

@LyftLady11 @harrisonjaime @ThirdWayKessler There aren’t Black or Latino people in Michigan, Ohio, or Georgia?

One can “test for” multiple things and also get a head start on making their case in swing states. Seems like a more logical and wiser move than a solid red state to begin your primaries.

[Shawn of the Red @ShawnOfTheRed]

Democrats are the anti-Democracy party. The reaction to the recent primaries by top democrats, party media operatives, and billionaire donors says it loud and clear. They want an obedient base, not one that wants to be served.

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

A “promise to America” to oppose literally every single policy the people want

[Shawn of the Red @ShawnOfTheRed]

@JimmyA_Shook1s lol I don’t know whether to tag you as an op or an idiot, but I’m gonna be safe and bet on both.

@pjlavish @VanLathan ❌

[Shawn of the Red @ShawnOfTheRed]

Some of the best and brightest thinkers of anti-capitalist pro-socialist liberation have been Black.

Don’t let anyone on some assimilationist conformity bullshit tell you that liberation philosophy is a “white people thing.”

Those folks don’t want what’s best for you.

[Shawn of the Red @ShawnOfTheRed]

@VanLathan It’s wild to me to hear folks associate Dr King with allegiance to the Democrat Party. Dr King wasn’t a partisan. He didn’t go out there campaigning for Democrats. He was on the principles and he critiqued power, no matter the party or the officeholder.

[Shawn of the Red @ShawnOfTheRed]

@JimmyA_Shook1s lol @briebriejoy gets enough from trolls. She doesn’t need to be catch’n strays from Pelosistan.

Briahna is out there being a public advocate while you’re on the interwebs caping for billionaires and corrupt politicians.

Look in the mirror, child. You’ve got work to do.

[Shawn of the Red @ShawnOfTheRed]

These are the folks that CIA COINTELPRO operatives want you to believe should be defended because to oppose them and want them removed from leadership and from office means you’re racist or anti-Black. 🤡

[Victims of Capitalism Memorial Foundation @karaokecomputer]

It’s absolutely crazy that Hakeem Jeffries’ speech intentionally echoes George Wallace’s “segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation tomorrow” but replaces “segregation” with “Israel”.

[Shawn of the Red @ShawnOfTheRed]

‘Liberals’ are not on the left, and are therefore not “leftists.”

Democrats only think they’re the party of the left because fascists and neocons think ‘liberals’ are “communists.”

To the extent it’s not intentionally bad faith, there’s nothing but political illiteracy there.

[Rathbone @_rathbone]

We need to eliminate the pretense that the Democrats represent the Left. We’re not at the point yet where we’ve all stopped collectively pretending.

[Shawn of the Red @ShawnOfTheRed]

@atwaSDOK @LyftLady11 @harrisonjaime @ThirdWayKessler Whether that’s true or not the point remains.

@basedsenorito @harrisonjaime @ThirdWayKessler @SeanThomasFL *2015

[Shawn of the Red @ShawnOfTheRed]

@basedsenorito @harrisonjaime @ThirdWayKessler @SeanThomasFL In 2016, I was speaking w folks who were knowledgeable about what the national party was planning for the Presidential nomination. I was informed, before the process ever started, that the party was planning on nominating Hillary Clinton, uncontested. Bernie really pissed em off.

@LarryMerry @harrisonjaime Jamie can’t stop and won’t stop because his project is to defend the wealthy ruling class and tame the people back into docile subjugation and obedience to the machine.

@cars4cids @harrisonjaime Those videos aren’t for the people, just like his career hasn’t been for the people nor has his politics been for the people. Like every high ranking Dem official for the last 50+ years, it’s been for the rich - for Wall Street, Banks, Corporations, and defense contractors.

As a lobbyist at the Podesta Group (before DNC chair), his clients included Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Berkshire Hathaway, pharmaceutical companies, casinos, the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, and Walmart.

[Shawn of the Red @ShawnOfTheRed]

@harrisonjaime “If your movement is so strong”? But your project here isn’t ideological, right?

Dems have discredited themselves. Your lies have become so transparently obvious. You’re not fooling all the folks you used to.

Your party has long suffocated public interests to serve the rich.

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

Democrats rigging elections: 'Why can't you guys win?'
