The US had a program to distribute masks that was never activated.

Yep. The postal service had a plan to give every family masks and trump made them stop

? Like, if you don't get your news solely from CNN or something

that's literally what old people do. My grandmother joyce-messier hillgasm is 10 years younger than Sanders. her neuroplasticity is GONE. i keep telling her to read print and stop watching cable news. she doesn't listen. she watches liberal cable news all day. it's sensationalist garbage. she's a retired working class woman with health problems but she eats this crap up like she's one of the women on The View. I want to break her TV every time I'm over there. I tell her about books I've read and she says they sound extreme and I should rely on more "respected" sources. If I tell her democrats and republicans are both bad she says that's cynical. Liberal respectability politics is all about believing mainstream sources because they have institutional backing, and ignoring everyone else because they don't. On the surface one can see why they think this. They want the person doing their surgery to have credentials from a respectable institution so they think politics works the same way. if you aren't respected by powerful mainstream institution, if you haven't jumped through the hoops, done the rituals, and gotten your credentials, you're an "extremist." It's actually quite medieval if you think about it. Like believing only a preacher is allowed to have an opinion about religion, and that laypeople are just misinformed. Therefore speaking truth to power is impossible. It just means you're "fringe" and therefore cringe. To the liberal, people on the political margins are all just eccentric people with strange pet peeves. To demand that they listen to the perspectives of people outside of the mainstream cable news narrative is to ask them to consider "fringe" opinions. They literally can't differentiate between an actual raving reactionary and someone with a legitimate grievance.

Why isn’t everyone doing this

fear of prosecution, lack of knowledge of how to pirate, liberal brainworms regarding respecting private property.

First of all, there is no "compromise" between "genocide palestinians" and "don't genocide palestinians."

the plurality of 18-29 year olds, that is, the only group of people who supported sanders in his primary bids are also the group most likely to be against israel's genocide of palestinians. with whom does he gain "political capital" by supporting israel? People who never supported him in the first place. with whom does he lose "political capital?" The people who supported him. Anyway I hope someone more sophisticated than me in the art of rhetoric and more patient in the art of education is able to exorcise your brainworms with respect to liberal "compromise" politics.

Just saying no to everything for ideological reasons alone is what the Republicans do, and we have seen how effective their governance is.

The republicans and the democrats both support israel, both support war against china, both support NATO expansion, both support capitalism, both support imperialism, both support racism. Demokkk-rats just do it more politely. They drive the car off the cliff at 90 miles an hour instead of 100 miles an hour. They drone strike the children instead of sending roided up marines to do it in person. Oh, and they have slight disagreements with their republican colleagues on matters of priority, like whether China or Russia is a bigger threat, but not on fundamentals.
