Nah, I fully believe that some Western “journalists” are just that braindead.

From a Vox article titled "Why Ukraine thinks it can still win over Donald Trump":

But Trump has also expressed some grudging admiration for Zelenskyy, a fellow TV star-turned-politician who has demonstrated he knows how to close a deal. “I think Zelenskyy is the greatest salesman in history — every time he comes into the country, he walks away with $60 billion,” Trump said at a rally in September.

That's not admiration Vox, that's a criticism him suckering the US out of billions of dollars.

Semi-related reminder that DeJoy is still head of the post office. A majority of the board that appoints (and can fire) him is now Biden appointees and they've done nothing.

As funny as it would be if someone actually did this, it feels kind of

blacks-rule

Who would write “fent”? Right-wingers fearmonger about fentanyl but no one on the left cares (because the fearmongering bullshit).

And “Elon 4 President” is just a little confusing. Why would you write that as graffiti on a bazingamobile and also alongside “Fuk Trump”?

Plus conveniently the driver’s side window and windshield are left clear.

"Middle class" is a term tailor-made to get workers thinking "well I'm not in the same boat as those people" and primed to punch down or pull the ladder up.

That's basically what I said in my last sentence, but at the same time you can't discount from a leftist perspective that some working class are poor and barely getting by while some working class are rather comfortable, and that those two groups have somewhat different material interests despite both being part of the working class. Of course that fact is definitely used to pit those two sections of the working class against each other to the benefit of the owning class.

The middle class is part of the working class ("upper middle" is arguable, but many are still workers not owners afaik, just high paying jobs). Obviously not all of it, but depending on the definition it's the same amount or more people than the lower class.

That of course doesn't change the fact that 1) they're basically saying they don't care about the lower class and 2) the contents of that plan are definitely some neoliberal bullshit that barely if at all helps most of the middle class. And of course the distinction between lower and middle class purposefully exists to stifle consideration of the reality that it's actually a working class vs an owning class.

tbf the latter looks like a much more accurate portrayal of a fascist eugenicist.

Ehh, whatever it takes to abolish NATO.

Legitimately between that supreme court ruling and the fact that Biden is already at the end of his life, there's no good reason for him not to. Except maybe Vance, but he could probably get them both to show up, they wouldn't be expecting it.

Need to update the header image.

they could literally target any politician in america and do this same BS successfully

Not if the politician doesn't take bribes?

Like I'm not saying they don't target black "progressive" mayors more (lol they did the same to the mayor of my city years ago), but the mayors are taking the bribes.

It’s a parody of 8values and LeftValues. No idea what the ideology of the person who made this is (probably centrist I think), but it’s funny either way, in different ways. Some of the intended jokes hit though, but maybe not in the intended way. Either way this post is a dunk on centrists.

 

It’s actually from a couple years ago but hilarious how apt it is.

If you can’t see itthe crossed out text is “no human is illegal”.
