Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these States; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present President of the United States, Donald J Trump, is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

    What kind of mental failing do you suffer from, that millions of Palestinian, Ukrainian, and transgender lives are nothing to you?

      What world do you live in that democrats have not just been complicit puppets to Netanyahu? Biden and kamala wouldnt even admit there is a genocide going on. Their pockets are bulging woth AIPAC and CUFI donations.

      IF A PARTY ACTIVELY SABOTAGES ANY LEFTWARD MOVEMENT THEN THEY ARE NOTHING BUT CONTROLLED OPPOSITION. THE BALLOT BOX IS NOT GOING TO AFFECT ANY MEANINGFUL CHANGE. WAKE TF UP. MINIMUM WAGE ISN’T LIVABLE EVEN IN CALIFORNIA WHERE IT’S $20/hr FOR SOME CORPORATE FAST FOOD WORKERS. BESIDES A REVOLUTIONARY EFFORT THE ONLY WAY TO AFFECT ANY CHANGE IS A MASS SIT IN/STRIKE WHERE AT LEAST 20% OF WORKERS REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE UNTILL THINGS CHANGE AND THIS WILL BE MET WITH MILITARIZED VIOLENCE BY THE RULING CLASS.

      YOU ACT LIKE IF KAMALA GOT IN NETANYAHU / LIKUD WOULD HAVE JUST STOPPED BOMBING GAZA AND MURDERING WOMEN AND CHILDREN. 🤡

      This is the two party system for you:

      Working class poor & homeless: “help we are starving please do something😫: Republicans: “No” Democrats: “No 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️#BLM”

      Also Ukraine is a proxy state and has been since the Berlin wall fell. This is a war being fought over resource and trade route control for the benefit of the same wall street military and prison industry profiteers who fund both parties. Its amazing how the side cosplaying as leftists just support whatever war the media convinces them is just. SEND MORE BOMBS TO UKRAINE, the working class can starve and live on the street. Food stamps haven’t been adjusted in years and the price of groceries increases every week due to rampant corporate price gouging.

        Nice six paragraph comment. I skimmed it. Looks like none of it addresses the fact that a Trump presidency is in the process of killing millions of innocent people. I guess you just don’t think the lives of minorities are important.

          Voting between the democratic party and far right maga is like choosing wether you want to amputate your fingers or your whole arm. Its still an amputation.

          The Democratic party by the measures and standards of the rest of the developed world is a center right wing party. Stop trying to convince the rest of us that voting for the neo liberal agenda is a win for society. Its only a win for wealthy people so they can virtue signal and placate people like you who really don’t give a fuck about implementing actual real change.

          Do you think Palestinians in gaza see the 4 years of biden as a net positive for them? What planet do you all live on? Oh i know the one where the main stream media has any credible journalistic integrity and isnt an obvious propaganda machine for wall street military and prison industry profiteers.

          If the democratic party was really so virtuous and ready to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to stop trump, then they would have ran bernie sanders In 2016 and 2020 as the dem nominee. we would have just come off of 2 terms of the best president since FDR. But the dnc showed us that it preferred the prospect of a Trump administration over any prospective administration that veered left of their centrist status quo bullshit. Saying otherwise means you have your head in the sand or more likely you are arguing in bad faith.

              And wow you can count

              But you dont have the brain to see that this is the result of the DNC who showed plain and simple they preferred a Trump administration over any administration that veered left from their status quo neo liberal platform and worked harder than they did securing votes to sabotage sanders 2 back to back election cycles

                Yeah, I’m saying you’re not actively and effectively genocidal like Donald Trump, you’re just dumb and complicit, like Joe Biden.

                    You think the DNC leadership chooses the president? I thought it was the voters who choose the president. The voters who “pulled the trigger”. That’s why I’m saying you’re complicit. Because you pulled the trigger, and I don’t think you voted for Harris, given how little you care for Palestinian lives.

                  guy blaming regular people for not supporting a controlled oposition party calls Someone calling out the obvious issues with a broken right leaning centrist billionaire owned party cos playing as left wing dumb and complicit, that’s really rich.

                  The people who are dumb and complicit are those actively making excuses for a political institution that obviosuly wont do what’s necessary to stop fascism and actively legislates for it.

                  You know whats extremely harmful to minorities and LGBTQ people? Drug prohibition. Which has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to reduce the demand and supply of narcotics. All it does is allow bigoted ideals to permeate militarized police forces while increasing the black market value of narcotics and funneling poor marginalized people into profit extraction centers called prisons which corporations fatten themselves upon using slave labor. Crickets on that issue. We can directly blame prohibition and the dea for fentanyl analogues proliferating the narcotic supply. Since they are more potent by logarithmic factors it mitigates risk to smuggle these instead of the traditional opium poppy products. So the war on drugs is directly to blame for the evolution of the black market supply to fentanyl analogues.But go ahead and virtue signal about the number of Palestinians that would be magically saved from death with a Harris walz administration. What a joke.

                  There are 3 more paragraphs to help get it through your skull how clueless you are. Just another neo liberal cosplaying as someone with left leaning sentiments. 🥴🤡
