      Smearing and lying, I suggest trying harder when talking with people.

      Ukrainian deaths were caused by our government and our NATO involvement.

          Similar to October 7th, 2023, wars and invasions don’t just happen out of nowhere.

          Our warmongering politicians, the duopoly, also have a responsibility for the continuation of deaths of the working class.

              I disagree with still believing in the boogeyman talking points pushed by the owner-class and the DOD…

              We must not give up on building our critical thinking muscles and being highly critical of what our politicians and those with power and influence want us to believe.

              Our government has a major role in causing and continuing to facilitate the mass murder going on in Ukraine, Palestine, and many more foreign countries.

              Caution: I suggest checking out independent journalists, but you will not like what you learn when going down that rabbit hole as well.

                The Russians invaded Ukraine and they are causing the war.

                If the Russians leave the war will stop.

                It’s not a crazy involved conspiracy, if the Russians stopped fighting the war would be over.

                Putin needs to be stopped and locked in a ten by ten concrete cell for the rest of his miserable life.

                  Again, these are all DOD, duopoly, and owner-class media talking points.

      Why not…

      You can continue supporting the status quo or raise your standards and start building for the long term.

        0.38% of the popular vote in a presidential election isn’t going to fix fucking anything. Vote Green locally. Get into local politics, or run for office yourself. Make a difference in your community. Jill isn’t going to save us.

          When did we stop doing this… I missed that message.

          Jill isn’t going to save us.

          The duopoly or no one will save us, but pushing past the status quo and fighting for basic standards does change the living conditions of the working class.

          Check out the civil rights movements.

            Check out Ralph Nader. I was there in the before times, Jimmy. I remember Florida.

              Yes, I also know of Ralph Nader, he was that one that got Healthcare as a Human Right launched into our political discussions.

              Long term goals, while continuing to fight against the status quo, just like in the civil rights movements.

                He also invented seatbelts. This is immaterial in a dangerous and consequential presidential election.

                  Fearmongering will always come from the duopoly, since the status quo helps the owner-class and their profits.

                  If the civil rights movements give in to fear instead of striving for a better world, the status quo in the United States would be much worse for Black Americans.
