          Ahhh. So let’s see if we can’t get to an understanding here:

          Stein, who is entirely irrelevant on a political stage- is saying it was “illegal” is an example of effective action and doing something about it, while:

          Democrats in Congress that are demanding his release are doing nothing. This is why no one takes any of you seriously.

            Wow 14 Democrats. Where were the rest?

            Has the leader of the Democratic party Chuck Shumer called for Mahmouds release yet? The leader of the Green party has. Even Butch Ware her likely followup.

              lol… so again, you share a link about ONE politically irrelevant clown supporting him, and that’s activism.

              I share a link with 14 actual politicians- and it’s nothing.

              Again… the next time you think to whine about how no one ever takes any of you seriously, remember how you conducted yourself here.

                  Sorry I couldn’t hear you over the roar of far left political figures doing so much more than everyone else- and by that I mean… Shill Stein’s saying:

                  “Awwww…. C’mon guys! Be cool!”

          Riiiight. I’m sure he’ll be released any day now because…. (checks notes) a bunch of people are shouting at buildings.

            So you shit on activists who are actually creating grassroots opposition. Wtf are you doing besides complaining online about the people fighting to keep our first amendment rights?

              I’m doing the same thing as you. I’m raising awareness, only I’m using a bad-faith misinformative statement as a platform for it to be seen.

              See some of you like to shit on democrats regardless of what they do. Even when they are trying to help

              I only call attention to this fact. Nothing more. And the results of the effort should be two-fold:

              • One- the credibility of people’s false-accusations are destroyed, and
              • Two- their misinformation is outed as such and the actual news is provided.

                You are not, I don’t consider social media posts to be activism. I consider donations, organizing, and protests to be, which I do.

                Your bad-faith misinformation is falsely conflating the Democratic Party as an institution with the few progressive Democrats within, The Squad, that are the ones fighting for the working class. I’ve repeatedly given credit to progressives like AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib because they have genuine interest in fighting for human rights even if that goes against the party’s position. The Democratic Party is failing to be a genuine opposition and fights back against the progressives within are are trying to change the party into a genuine opposition to Fascism.

          There is a reason for that. And it’s because the only people you can prop up are Russian shills, untested nobodies with zero evidence the have any knowledge of politics, and clueless blowhards that just yell at everyone.

          Find a viable, believable, and provenly effective candidate and maybe people will vote for them.

          Because remember- it’s not OUR job to just blinder vote for a candidate. It’s the party’s job to provide one worth voting for, right?

            Haven’t read that before much. Are you able to “steel man*“ (opposite strawman) the opposite view?

            *or w/e one would say

            Oh also who has Russian ties on the far left? Not Bernie although I guess he’s not far is he? (In this definition, obviously by USA standards though.)

        We’re completely obscured and whitewashed out of existence by capitalist/fash media. Conflated with liberals. Targeted for more violent attacks. Etc.
