Is this the Al Qaeda guy?

Life lesson: never, ever presume that the United States will keep its word, abide by an agreement or be consistent about anything.

Yes, of course. A larger point that I’ve tried to make is that when China interferes with the market, they do it in a way that improves Chinese products, lowers prices for consumers. Conversely, when the US interferes with the market they increase prices, reduce consumer options, and reduces the quality of products.

If all that is true, then the US should subsidize US ev’s to the point where they are price competitive and open the market to competition where US manufacturers can market against the environmental and human right issues with their Chinese competitors. That would put competitive pressure on Chinese manufacturers to clean up their supply chains and consumers worldwide would benefit.

There is no incentive for US companies to improve their products when they are protected from market forces by import restrictions.

I hope so. Just let us know where they’ll be flying the flag draped coffins in so we can go spit on them.

Why are you more interested in me than addressing the topic? Just kind of sad really, but I suppose it’s perfectly in character with the type of person that needs to hide behind ai slop to troll post.

Are you in the US? Because if you are, they’ll never let you buy or import one.

Yes, I am insulting you because you keep chirping without saying anything that contributes to the discourse. You must be very unsure about your perspective.

A child just keeps asserting things without substantiating them. If you disagree, that’s fine. But make a point or shut the fuck up you goddamn pussy.

I have followed and advocated for the practice you are describing for 40 years. I was literally making phone calls for Dukakis before I was old enough to vote. I say these things into emphasize my next point to you any anyone in party leadership that might hear my words.

You have already lost me. I’m not doing it anymore. You have to convince me that you’re worthy of my support through POLICY. Nothing you say about political dynamics is going to sway me anymore. I’m done with it. Now, maybe I’m an aberration. But, if the reporting on the DNC post mortem on the Harris campaign is accurate, I don’t think that is the case.

You are making ‘harm reduction’ and an ‘anti-litmus testing’ arguments. There are merits to both, but let me explain how my positions have shifted in recent years. I hope that you and the Democratic Party are interested.

It is very clear to me that 40 years of harm reduction voting hasn’t worked at all. The party has only lurched rightward at every juncture and refuses to meaningfully mount opposition to fascism.

There are some issues that are so egregiously simple and important, that they serve as good measures of how an official will operate while in office. Genocide is an example of this. If you are willing to even just play footsie with that policy, you cannot be trusted on anything else, full stop.

As I said before, it is incumbent upon us to get better people nominated. But the party needs to understand that me (and perhaps others) are no longer willing to move to them (that is, compromise to suit their conservative ideology). They have to start coming to me/us. You will probably say that a (small-d) democratic party’s positions are dictated by who we nominate and elect, so I should be focusing my efforts on driving better nominations. I get it. But it is also true that this party has a very strong corporate-captured leadership that regularly puts its thumb on that democratic process. That is who I am addressing with these comments.

Look, I agree with the sentiment that we need to participate in the primary process and create a better pool of Democrats. The party needs to be entirely reformed. Part of that process is smacking down comments that suggest that anyone with as destructive a history as Harris could reasonably represent such change. Fact is, Harris is entirely representative of the corrupt, feckless, collaborative nature of the modern Democratic Party. It is her and what she represents so well, that has built a party that has facilitated the rise of right wing fascism for at least 40 years. We should have no tolerance for the likes of Harris.

lol. As if ‘the coalition’ has ever allowed itself to be influenced by Talib even a little. Biden presided over, and participated in an active genocide. When given the opportunity to break from that policy, Harris doubled down on it in spite of political interests.

The war is happening because it’s Israeli policy. The Biden administration’s policy was to facilitate Israeli policy entirely. The Harris campaign’s position was to adopt the Biden platform entirely. Having a super lethal military was her big announcement at the dnc convention. In the campaign, she criticized trump for being too weak on Iran. I don’t know why people think she would be better.

And yet, here you are, hurling insults without backing your claims up at all, like a goddamn coward.

Ok, so you’re saying I’m pro-Russia because I critique Ukraine at all? And I’m somehow the one being accused of having a childlike perspective on this thread.

Well, at least I’m advocating for a point of view instead of just making a shallow assertion, then backing it up by name calling, you fucking pussy (see, that’s just me relating to you on your level).

Y’all are so gross. You seem to have a worldview that believes that anyone who has been a victim at some point gets a kind of hall pass to do awful things. Honestly, you sound like the people that say that Israel gets one free genocide because of the holocaust. It’s your kind of moral relativism that opens to door to monsters like Russia, the US and Israel.
