i have no clue why economic attacks haven't become common yet. like, the ability to mass mobilize would be better used by making the stock market unpredictable - instead of marches in teh streets, everyone shift their spending habits one day to the next.
it's the type of practice that would take a minute to mobilize and coordinate but in all actuality, black bloc "antifa" stuff is decades old and it's really just those late to the party who are discovering those tactics - mostly the leftist anarchist routine as it stands plays into the hand of those who understand the ebb and flow of retaliation against power
economics is where the point of fracture is at and coordinated attacks on consumerism would be exactly how to take back some power, but it just seems everyone is still focused on what happens in front of a camera that... i don't know, i am not sure what it takes to move protest to the level where it can actually do some damage but, it sorely needs to be done.
- 10-14 day general strikes, unionization at top tech companies, disruption of servant services (housecleaning and delivery)... i mean, there's leverage to be hadcolin_s
- at some point the anti-capitalist mantras will turn into complete economic shutdowns which will fuck up everything, which shouldn't be too far offcolin_s
- And the people not working? Do they get to eat? U do understand it's a symbiotic system? Hunger is a great spice of life********
- And do you understand the nature of community when people go on strike? Like, providing food and essentials for those without? Course you don't, prick.face_melter
- oh i do. but what community? are you thinking old one industry coal towns still a thing? to diverse and plenty of self interests of unemployed to take said jobs********
- unless you dont like scabs and think they're lesser people?********
- unions are power broker parasites that only serve own interests. and in most cases there's and there peoples. while tryign to harm non unions workers********
- where do u guys get your history education?********
- you do understand the entire idea of a union is to monopolize labor as a corporation would try to monopolize and industry for leverage********
- same utilize same principles they tell there people to fear...think people catch on by now********
- It's a great point colin_s and something I've thought about. Even if you could only mobilize a few percent of the country this could be very powerful.yuekit
- mobilize a few to coerce the many?... very democratic********

"Judiciary Reform Is Not Revenge. Expanding the Supreme Court makes sense for both practical and constitutional reasons.
And Congress complied. In one of the first pieces of legislation it produced, the Judiciary Act of 1789, Congress mandated that the Supreme Court have six justices, each of whom would also preside over one of six specific geographic areas [...]
In 1837, the number of circuits was increased to nine, as was the number of justices. For a brief period beginning in 1863, there were 10 circuits and 10 justices."
Basically, according to historical precedent set by the framers of the consitution it would be 100% ok for Democrats to 4 more justices if they take the white house/senate/congress in the next election. I hope they do to put a stop to this charade for a few decades.

Even in years in which the choice isn't as stark, I always ask myself who could possibly be undecided. Now I want to know: How is this guy, quoted in today's NYTimes, a Democrat?

- Debates are easy for Trump. Lie upon lie upon lie. Abuse. More abuse. Then throw in some more lies.BusterBoy
- Fuck debates. Just a shitty gladiatorial show for idiots who can’t think anything through and need to see a ‘winner’.MrT
- Agreed MrTBusterBoy
- please answer this very complicated and nuanced question in 45 seconds while we judge everything about you except the core of your response.imbecile
- chair judge: now that employment is on the rise again, how do you plan to maintain this growth?
trump: obama and sleepy joe love criminalsimbecile - fox news: obama and sleepy joe funding a terrorist cell? what aren't they telling us?

The worst thing about this shouting match was that NO ONE READ THE DNA RESULTS at the end!
No one cares about Eric :(

And with a BANG! a SMASH! and a WET GRUNT! Trump's tax returns gets tossed to the back pages with the horse results and adverts for dildos and porcelain figurines. Good job, NYT, if you're trying to assassinate someone don't come at them with a fucking plastic fork.
- haha. theyll keep throwing shit at a wall until something sticks********
- that is media********
- "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and not lose any voters." - Trumputopian
- exactly ^. out of context shit hoping something sticks. remember the pussy grabbing as well. question is why doesnt********
- studies show if you constantly sell a big lie on media or repeat it over and over and informed populace will gravitate to believe it so.********
- 4 years of asinine media pushing ideas. they haven't stuck? why? are they so absurd your simpleton voters dont even buy them?********
- makes you wonder which poipulace with all the "edu" is being played. as recent studies show more "edu" makes one less suseptible to bullshit********
- perhaps because edu is more indoctrination than education in critical thinking skills?********
- but i have to say i made it through about 40 minutes. usually last only 5 on any debate because the idiots involved.********
- mostly do to see how biden mental capacity is and I just don't think he's there at all. moderator actually did a great unbiased job********
- well he really tried for a segment to get biden his clip reall shit, but trump fucked that up with interruptions. part of the game i guess********
- It's a slow drip. Much more to come apparently.BusterBoy
- Doesn't matter. It's not going to swing any votes, no-one gives a shit apart from screaming libs with terminal Russia-Mueller brain.face_melter
- No, it’s just that trump’s base simply doesn’t care. They’re too embedded in their own pride & stupidity to admit they have been duped.ben_
- It's a story that makes a lot of noise in a short space of time and none of it will stick. People gleefully thinking Trump will go to jail have soup for brains.face_melter
- It's a pathetic lib fantasy, blindly ignoring that the Dems should have been on this cunt from Day One instead of pinning their hopes on reports and Discourse.face_melter
- OK but...there are actual investigations now into criminal activity, insurance fraud. As president he can't be prosecuted but as a private citizen he can.yuekit
- https://www.cnbc.com…yuekit
- Perhaps it will all amount to nothing but I wouldn't assume he will magically get out of it just because he's Donald Trump. If anything being president hasyuekit
- turned a spotlight on his business dealings that never would have happened otherwise. The NYT story is just another piece of the puzzle.yuekit
- It shut up at least some sadly naive follower's from spouting "oh, but he's such a good businessman!" and "half the pop doesn't pay income tax" bsformed
- We'll now see investigations into his money ties to Russia going back 30+ years. It's not rocket science, a two year old can connect the dots.formed
- His true base enjoys having their heads up each other's arses, they won't budge even if he is a black mailed traitor (goes to show their true values -formed
- they choose a cult clown and are ok with burning down America.formed
- I'd like to write off this entire conversation. Do you think there's a tax credit for that?FNP14
- the real criminal shit goes to obama. as all the faux russia gate shit********

Turn off the mics when they go over. Fox and Wallace ran a terrible debate
- renderedred5
just watched the debate. i think biden did fine despite the fact trump's tactic is to sink everything into chaos.
but, man, trump needs a good ass whooping at this point.
how many times does he interrupt? like a child LOL- indeed. Trump calls up extreme wing people to arms. And its a tie? Fuck'n hell.tank02
- yeah, that #standby remark is kkk 100%renderedred
- and then "how do you wanna call them, proud boys?" like they don't exist and on the other hand antifa is a well organized terrorist organization....renderedred
- it was awful to watch that shit show but I think Biden better performed nonetheless.nbq
- I think trump did. He tried to use time to push into tabloid shit. But Biden wasted timed on coronavirus contradicting himself********

- ..in between that have contributed to making America the greatest country the world has ever seen, so how the fuck did we end up in 2020 with Trump v Biden_niko
- blabbering incoherently in a WWE promo style shouting match like a couple of toddlers trading insults and lies? boggles the mind._niko
- and I don't know why you take personal offence to any of this, you should be offended as an American that this is where your country's ended up._niko
