    You can read the article if you like. Or continue to participate in a distorted reality.

    I disagree that arsonists were actually with the protesters. You have a really delusional perspective that allows you to pretend sending in the guard at all is the same as black vans. Or this. Or this.

    Alright, link me to some of the worst of the Dem federal response to protests about Gaza. I’m ready to be wrong.

        Arrests are the same as black vans and the president urging for brutalization of protestors, I see.

          Of course they aren’t 100% the same, why lose face when you can let your opponent do it for you? There’s good reason the Democrats let Republicans do whatever they want unpunished, they both serve their corporate donors above all else.

            I see. Both sides bad, and colluding. Ratchet effect. But instead of pushing the gear so we rest against a tooth, allow the ratchet to do another click. Ignore Uncommitted, since we don’t like what they’re saying any longer. Listen to individuals when we like what they’re saying. What we like is to have a ratchet click. Then socialist revolution with Repubs at the helm.

              Even if we push the gear, it clicks again. The Democrats are moving to the right, against their voterbase. You have no solution, fascism is coming even with Dems at the helm.

                    You’re right about organizing outside of elections. You’re wrong about “elections alone cannot fix it therefore throw your ballot in the garbage.” Whatever the solution is, I would rather attempt it under a slower transition into fascism.
