Biden administration dramatically softens the sanctions it imposed on the seven Israelis from the Israel Defense Forces and makes it clear that they will be able to use their bank accounts.

Vote socialism in 2024 or you're getting the orange

[–] knightly@pawb.social 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

We're getting the orange anyway because the Democrats would rather preserve their AIPAC funding than win an election.

And besides; the Socialist Party is an FBI front organization, the PSL is content to ignore Russia's war on Ukraine, and even though the Greens have decent politics they're still being used by everyone as a wedge to split the Democrat vote in favor of Republicans. There's no way to vote for socialism that isn't self-defeating.

What information do you have that the PSL is a front?

All I could find is a sussy substack and Reddit posts. It could be true.

The PSL are state socialists, their entire reason for existing is to be a front for state-aligned interests.

That’s what I’m seeing too. They have to say that, or be labeled as domestic terrorists. Any openly revolutionary party is a threat.

Indeed. Parties which actually pose a threat to the current establishment aren't permitted to organize.

Playing "Spot the Fed" was a popular passtime at Occupy.

If anything, the PSL is a front for Russia, given that Russia has featured them on Russian state media. But I don't see them as being a threat to the Democrats. A quick look at their Wikipedia page shows that the most percentage votes they ever got in an election was 40%, and that was just 57 votes in a college town.

It's a pity the US doesn't have a parliamentary system. It would make so much more sense to have something like Greens, Socialists, and Democrats forming a coalition.

Is Biden the socialism?

[–] go_go_gadget@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh man, if socialism were on the ballot I'd happily vote for it. Maybe I'll write that in when I go vote.
