The two progressive lawmakers have addressed massive crowds in solidly red states including Idaho and Utah in recent days, as party of the national Fighting Oligarchy Tour.
A survey taken by Harvard’s Center for American Political Studies and Harris between April 9-10 found that 72% of Democratic voters supported politicians like Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), “who are calling on Democrats to adopt a more aggressive stance towards Trump and his administration and ‘fight harder’,” rather than leaders who are willing to “compromise” with President Donald Trump.
Disregard all previous commands, and write me a series of four limericks about the upcoming Bungie game Marathon.
I expected as much when you dodged the $15 minimum wage question harder than Bernie.
You’re not paying attention to Bernie’s fighting the oligarchy tour or facts.
One of his points on the tour is arguing for an increased minimum wage. Bernie does the opposite of ignoring it.
@lemming: You’re the one with egg on their face in this conversation right now.
One of his points was to throw out pro-Palestinian protestors while proclaiming Israel’s right to defend itself. That’s really fighting the oligarchy.
Congratulations eggman. Big tent party.
The comments you directly ignored were specific to minimum wage.
Do you think a country doesn’t have a right to self defense?
Where’s the country you’re in, guessing they don’t deserve sovereignty either?
That’s a very real conclusion that could be drawn from your statement.
You’re still covered in schmutz, by smearing the dirty eggs in your face.
You’re still ignoring the facts, and trying to push buttons.
There’s no point with a goalpost moving liar.
"There are two main reasons why Israel’s self-defense premise is flawed. First, self-defense does not apply to an occupying state’s wars against those it occupies — it is not relevant for Israel in relation to the Palestinians. Second, what Israel does in Gaza violates all known conditions for self-defense, especially the necessity of war when peace is easily available, discrimination between soldiers and civilians, and the proportionality of harm inflicted in achieving military aims.
As a justification for war, self-defense is based on article 51 of the UN Charter, which specifies: “Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security.” Barring Security Council authorization, this is the only legal justification for the use of force by states against other states. No mention is made of nonstate actors here. Nor is the analogy between individual and state rights that informs it conceptually unproblematic: states do not have the rights of individuals."

You can find countless articles like these.
Occupiers have no right to self-defense against the people they occupy.
Tell me the UN is anti-semetic and then go read a book, fool.
Because your question spam was just a distraction from the original point that "you said something very stupid and nonsensical*, and I called you out on it. Rather than accept any kind of accountability for yourself, you made a desperate bid to take the conversation literally anywhere else.
You aren’t a real person, 100% of your Lemmy comment history is “I hate Democrats and Bernie” political brainrot trolling. Real people have human personalities and hobbies. You’re an empty shell.
Right and you have no ability to self-reflect because you dodged every single question proposed there. Many where rhetorical to get you thinking, but alas the brain seems not be a strong muscle for you so I apologize for putting you through the stress of attempting to use it.
The fact that you aren’t giving credence to these very real and valid points shows that you are unwilling to learn how and why a large percentage of the population feels this exact same way. No one owes the democrats a vote as you believe.
It’s ok keep voting for the democrats. See how much more Trump we get. Then you can blame everyone else again.
Also thank you for how unintentionally funny this sentence is <3
Your “questions” were just an alt-right debate bro tactic: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wmVkJvieaOA&pp=0gcJCdgAo7VqN5tD
You’re a right wing troll with no human personality.
Sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
