The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu gov, fully armed by the Biden admin while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals.
This is a genocide of Palestinians. The US must stop enabling it. Arms embargo now.
@la_bufanda64396@directorblue@cenkuygur 4. Saying direct democracy doesn't work because of history could be said for representative democracy also.
If we are serious about democracy, we should be working to give more power to the people, not less
@la_bufanda64396@directorblue@cenkuygur 1. "Mob rule" is the essence of democracy. Every person has a say in decisions that affect them.
2. We don't vote on laws. We vote on people. So getting rid of electoral college is not instilling direct democracy.
3. Your concern for rural voters in accounted for in congress
@la_bufanda64396@directorblue@cenkuygur I don't see how minority populations are negativity affected by getting rid of the electoral college. Quite the opposite
@andrealynn_rn2 Only if the "they" you speak of is the business elite. In that case, yes they control all of that plus most democrats and all republicans
It’s very rare for a celebrity to speak at length about a complicated situation in another country and get it right. Javier Bardem does it here, and I hope you have a few minutes to listen to this. The Spanish is beautiful and the translation is good.
The point of capitalist media (Fox, Newsmax, CNN, MSNBC) is to get 10s of millions of Americans to (1) support genocide, (2) support war, (3) support 1 of the 2 capitalist/imperialist parties & (4) support greedy capitalists over striking workers.
If you tune in, they got you.
@RepLoisFrankel In peril? Seriously? They're the ones with nukes, tanks, fighter jets, etc. You've got a twisted notion of who the oppressor is in this situation
@kevinbiddy10@clarencehilljr This is a list of democrat values given to you but republicans. And it's funny you think communism's opposite is constitutional. It's an economic theory.
