Truly, this type of working-class, cross-cultural political synthesis is anathema to the corporate duopoly. Democratic partisans will smear you for being sympathetic to the same voters that they relied on for a century, now that those voters are disillusioned. A coal worker in Ohio struggles to live in dignity, but you, reporter, by telling his story, are racist or xenophobic or whatever. Meanwhile, the working class continues to be crushed. The fact that democratic partisans cannot extend sympathy to these people is the very reason for their electoral failures.
The trouble started when the smart set substituted "climate" for "weather."
"Climate" has a vaguely scientific, and therefore intimidating connotation that pleases the smarty pants types, who are always looking for a new stick with which to beat the great unwashed.
"Weather," on the other hand, is just a good old noun that everyone understands so our rulers had to ditch it.
Same thing for "sex" and "gender." "Sex" is a real word that refers to something real, in this case, genitals, outward signs of your immutable identity as a man or a woman.
"Gender," on the other hand, is a phony, bullshit word like "climate." It's just another weapon in the arsenal of devices that our rulers use to beat us down.
They also call themselves "middle class". The REAL real book about the white working class is called "White Working Class" by Joan Williams. In it she makes the point that she couldn't call it white middle class because all the left elites bizarrely still think of themselves as middle class.
Climate change cannot be faked. It is as real as any physical phenomenon ever recorded and will continue to destroy species, spread fires, floods and increasingly violent storms, cause unlivable heat waves, diminish the richness of sea life, and erode coastlines. Combined with the growing pervasiveness of toxic industrial and mining wastes , it amounts to the largest area of criminal activity on earth.
Most of what you say is not happening. Fires are smaller than they once were in the U.S. (much less per year than in 1926 (when the records start) to 1950), floods are less, Violent storms are fewer, heat waves are fewer and less extreme than in the past (for example, the 1930s), Sea life is not decreasing, Polar bear population worldwide has more than doubled since the 1970s (partly due to human action: the local tribes no longer are allowed to hunt them), coastlines are doing well, etc.
You missed a major fact: far more people die from cool or cold weather than from warm or hot weather. A comprehensive study of all of the countries in Europe found ten times more people died from cool or cold weather than from warm or hot weather from 2000 to 2019. Other studies worldwide have shown the same thing. The lowest rate for hospital admissions from heart attacks in Japan occurs at 83 F, it increases rapidly as temperatures go below 40 F.
And you completely missed the great benefit of higher CO2 in the atmosphere for farming. Commercial greenhouses always add substantial amounts of CO2 to improve the quality and quantity of their produce. The overall benefit of our increase in CO2 over the past 200 years is now the equivalent of about $750 billion a year.
But the data used to drive the hysteria is fraudulent and manipulated so that people like you are gullible enough to believe it requires destroying all economies in order to rebuild a new world. That's called hubris. What destroys species is stronger predators, what causes violent storms, heat and other calamities is called weather and it's been occurring for thousands of years..The real criminal activity are those predators grifting off the gullible like you.
The trouble with you and your climate change hoax is that you are a stubborn ideologue. Living in NH I know the politics of Vermont and the California from where you came from and I guess you enjoy being the pied piper of lies. Oh well
I'm not sure about his stance on climate change, though the real argument is is it man made, not does it change. On the environment he has been stellar. More importantly he is for free speech and in his current lawsuit against Biden he admonishes the fact the Biden tried to squelch the free speech. .....Class action lawsuit alleging that federal defendants violated the First Amendment by by inducing social-media companies to censor others’ protected speech, including speech regarding climate change....so whether he believes it is man made or not he wants an open discussion. I can go with that.
I like what he says about resisting the marriage of government and big business.
I don't know if he's actually called that what it is, a hallmark of fascism. If so, good for him.
I also like his calling out Fauci as a liar and a fraud, and attacking the official story on the assassination of his uncle, an event that carries echoes down to the present day.
But his siding with Israel as it massacres defenseless civilians in Gaza is a deal breaker for me.
Hamas has made it impossible for the IDF to defeat them without going thru the civilians IE human shields . Hamas is responsible as they were in all of the terror they have committed in the past.
Zionists took over Palestine by violence and theft. They have killed at least 12 times as many as any Palestinian resistance actions. Their claims on the land are religious fairy tales with no basis in historical reality or oven their own 10 commandments. The Zionist God is a salesman for fascism, racism, theft. The Zionist persecution of Palestinians made no distinction between Christians and Muslims.
Not sure if you have noticed, but Hamas always manages to make a move when Israel wants an excuse for future expansion. As someone who grew up in a Hasbara Household, I heard about Israel making Hamas to control the Palestinians sometime around 1980.... Couple this with an admission in the Jerusalem Post in 2002 or so that Israeli Intelligence sits at the highest levels of Hamas, it should be obvious that Hamas (and most terrorism) is really Deep State performing as needed. Native patsies are always recruited to do the dirty work, which give "credibility" to the official stories.
It was clear to me that a Hamas attack was going to happen when Netanyahu visited USA in September 2023. Right on time...
Israel and Palestine have merely been the testing grounds of the Stakeholder Captialists. They took a terrorized population (Jewish refugees) and allowed them to terrorize and dominate others who had long dwelt on the land. The same tactics are being spread worldwide so the Stakeholders (this is what they call themselves - they are the fruits of the Frankist Movement of the 18th century) can gain dominance. Little by little we are inured to the horrors happening around us until we barely realize they are right at home and normalized everywhere. Israelis and Jews around the world have been subject to decades of propaganda to get where they are now. Instead of healing from the previous atrocities, now they become abusers themselves...and I fear for the abused Palestinians and Gazans when they finally have power, because they too will need healing.
When things go south, the Jews will be blamed yet again, but the Stakeholder Capitalists who use them will move on to continue their rape of the planet and her peoples. The new Eunuch class (aka Trans) is also under their spell and will be used similarly in the end. I pray daily for Jews and other manipulated groups to wake up to how they have been used in the Zionist/Frankist Project for decades...little do they know that early 20th c. Zionists concluded that antisemitism must exist in order for Jews to support the project. WWII traumatized them into submission.
Now all of us around the world are being traumatized by the encroaching surveillance State that the Stakeholders need to establish their power. They will not hesitate to unleash WWIII if it makes them money and allows them to "Build Back Better" and institute their 4th Industrial Revolution. Leaders around the world have been blackmailed and threatened with terror in their nations if they don't behave according to plan. This should be pretty obvious by now. I would say even Netanyahu is being blackmailed and controlled. He, like Hitler in the past, was only the "front man" for a larger project that would last over a century to establish...We are nearing the end stages of this project and we need to arise and work together across peoples and old hatred to unite against the actual oppressor who has us fighting one another instead of the actual threat.
Think of the Killdeer bird - who makes a nest on the ground and will come and do a "broken wing" dance to distract any potential nest visitors. The MSM are like these Killdeers - doing a distraction dance so we don't notice the actual eggs or chicks in the nest....Learn to ignore the Killdeer Dance and focus on the actual nest of corruption. The current powerholders like to bully and we need to call them out for what they are - bullies and immature adults still trying to rule the schoolyard. They think forcing the world to play their live action Squid Game gives them the right to prevail over us whether we wish to play or not. Time to refuse to play and change the nature of the game to a win/win outcome - even for those that would harm us in their scenario. We have the numbers, we have the power...we simply have to learn to reject our programming for "convenience" and "safety." The Stakeholders do not love humanity or the planet. They do not love Jews or Muslims or Atheists, or Transfolk but will use every possible angle to set us against one another in order to exploit us for our very living resources. This is true witchcraft and sorcery as warned against in the Bible...time to break the spell of Babylon, Egypt and Rome....which is the spirit of the Stakeholders who distort all that is good and lifegiving so that we are eternally dependent on their "mercy." This is real Satanism at work...the rejection of humanity and life and nature and a unity of the Cosmos beyond filthy lucre which cannot sustain.
Alexis de Tocqueville nailed it when he said “I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run.”
We the People are the Heirs of the American Experiment and We are Squandering Our American Inheritance!
If we have to have one of those two clowns, at least let it be Trump because he believes in attempting diplomacy, which has been completely lacking in the Biden regime. Biden and Blinken and Nuland are walking us into WWIII. The fix was in when the D's had 4 years to scream about "Russiagate" which was really about preparing the base for the Ukrainian conflict (started by USA).
It is truly sad that it has come to this...and Trump is the lesser evil if this is even possible??? Again - Meteor or other "Act of God" over Pentagon/DC! We need some kind of "wake up" call. Let's not forget the MSM which has done its part for decades in preparing us to accept more and more absurdities and lies. Nothing is going to change without the takedown of MSM propaganda. The Running Man comes to mind.
True, it is very disappointing. Not that any candidate other than Cornell West has strayed from AIPAC's money (and many feel West will drop out and endorse Genocide Joe late in the race. Blacks have voted 85 to 95% Democrat the last dozen or more Presidential races, according to Pew).
I've gone from initially viewing Kennedy's candidacy with enthusiasm to seeing him as a vanity candidate who's running on nostalgia for his uncle and father.
This is a conspiracy theory, or a loose, unattached chunk of conspiracy theory, hitherto unknown to me. Thanks for sharing. Might want to examine the connection between "Event 201" and "Area 51." Coincidence that both end in the number "1?"
Nothing is good about Genocide. Nothing is good about apartheid. Nothing is good about AIPAC deciding who can be in Congress and corrupting them with bribes. I liked RFK too til his actual support for mass murder became obvious.
Nothing is good about hostage taking. Nothing is good about rape. Nothing is good about religious zealotry. Nothing is good about morons who apologize for rapists and hostage takers and religious zealots.
Agreed on all counts, except there seems tt be no equal angst about what Hamas did, nor the fact the did it and then hide behind the Palistinians. How can you battle this tactic and insure it doesn't happen again. Over 12 hundred Isrealis were killed in brutal fashion. It's not a black and white as it seems, but again I completely agree Isreal has way too much influence in the USA
There shouldn't be equal angst about what Hamas did. Israel's response is so disproportionate to what Hamas did that this is not a real argument and it pretends that everything started on October 7
And unfornately RFK's energy policy would bankrupt 80% of America. I hope -if by chance he is elected--RFK would have a more open mind and at least listen to the thousands of credible scientists that reasonably question the cult of climate change.
But the Progressive/Soros/Gates fascination with creating 15 minute cities (more correct to say 15 minute ghettos) and packing everyone into early Soviet housing is a worry and this is related closely to the Climate Change presumptions. Did no one learn from the Chicago projects debacle? And just what type of jobs is everyone supposed to do? Also, I gave up when he chose his google derivative VP... But I am grateful and really do appreciate RFK's loud and clear message of corruption and deceit in the current Democratic power group. Its critical more politicians call out the Biden adminstrations desire and attempt to censor anything they deem "misinformation".
While they constantly fly around the globe on private jets cuz, ya know, they're "expertise" and mere existence are, ya know, indispensable. Just die already and join the graveyards full of "indispensable" people.
EU Court just came out with ruling that a new human right is to not be subject to climate change. Or something like that: it’s hard to enumerate something that is probably beyond human control. I can see why the UK left that conglomeration (EU).
The Luddites were a grand lot. The reaction to them, of course, exhibited the violence inherent in the system. I say, back to the times of King Arthur, when a watery tart lying in a pond distributing swords in a farcical watery ceremony could determine the basis for a system of government. Those were the days. Yeah.
Israel and his VP pick are a problem. Boteach proved RFK Jr. can still be bullied by certain forces. We really need an "act of God" like a meteor over the Pentagon instead of our current "choices."
IMHO, the issues that most people have with RFK Jr.’s stances on things such as climate change, Israel, the Second Amendment, etc. are all worthy of reasoned discussion. And I have no doubt that RFK Jr. will debate them thoughtfully and respectfully. The issues with Biden, censorship, endless wars, rampant illegal immigration, are not only extremely divisive they will never be honestly debated by Biden. Even if he were capable of such debate. Does anyone honestly believe the man has anything close to the cogent ability to do so? As for Trump, if elected, his opponents will wage war on him and his administration from day one. To the detriment of the entire nation.
Speaking on the Twins Pod, he caved on Ukraine, too. Said ethnic Russians "wanted to be taken over" to be part of Russia, that Zelensky is a "puppet" of America that "we put in there" (somehow convincing the Ukrainians to vote for him), "if he crosses the U.S. his own ultra-right people will kill him . . . so he does what we say," and that "there's a huge Nazi problem in Ukraine" (prompted by one of the hosts). As a Camelot remnant, his intellectual failings are irrelevant to his role as a spoiler.
Zelensky is desperate for American arms so is averse to criticizing our failures to defend against Russian ambitions. If that makes him puppet, his people voted for a puppet. Any Nazis in Ukraine fighting Stalin, who starved them during Holodomor, would be very old by now. Might want to double check your well established facts.
I just see him as another grifter. I doubt he'll get ballot access in all 50 states. None of the independent candidates seem like anything other than people trying to fundraise off of people's misery and grab a little attention for themselves. I'll probably just vote for Jill Stein in protest and maybe the Green Party will get the 5% they need for public election funding.
Excellent. Buybacks are, it seems, the core problem with Boeing, too, and the reason America went from producing some of the best products in the world to producing crap.
Re: the working class getting crushed. Twas ever thus. The Versailles liberals couldn't give a rat's ass about anyone but themselves. Don't expect that to change.
It's amazingly short-sighted. They couldn't/wouldn't see the cumulative affect of tossing millions of Americans into the poor house year upon year. I believe the election will be a representation of how Americans see themselves. I certainly hope there's more of us poor-house people. It's sad that our best hope is a rich asshole. What a country!
Don’t disagree with anything you’ve said except: what electoral failures? That red ripple in 2022 doesn’t add up. We’ll see if anything changes in 2024.
The democrats held a majority in the house of representatives for four consecutive decades in the 20th century. Compared to that, their success in recent elections just doesn't stack up.
The Democratic party never stood for anything. They were forced to do things when threatened electorally by left-wing populists and socialisists. Remember, W.E.B. Duboise got million votes and 6% of the popular vote as a socialist while in prison. Democrat Wilson deported and, prosecuted and persecuted left-wingers and anti war activists. The corporate Dems have helped destroy the New Deal policies in a good cop/bad cop kabuki theater since the beginning. The Dem party has never been anything but a cheap, soulless pliable whore to whichever direction the wind and money are coming from.
"Du Bois." He never ran for President nor was he ever incarcerated---obviously you're confusing him with Eugene Debs. Strange. Put the bottle down and pick up the book.
Like both Malcolm X and MLK said: the only difference between conservatives and lib'rels is they both hate you but the conservatives do it up front and libs welcome you to their house, then stab you in the back when we you leave.
The efforts with the media psyops are laughable, yet effective. As with covid, the media tells their audience that only intelligent, educated people think a certain way. It's the hicks and hayseeds that disagree with the intelligent, educated people; like them. And their minions fall in lockstep as they pat themselves on the head.
"Look at you, so sophisticated. You'd never fall for being manipulated! Not like those toothless hillbillies that don't even want an electric car, because they're being lied to by the bad, evil media. Can you believe that? Aren't you glad you're here, with the good, right, smart people?"

"The best way to oppose fake news is for people to watch outlets like MSNBC."

Truly, this type of working-class, cross-cultural political synthesis is anathema to the corporate duopoly. Democratic partisans will smear you for being sympathetic to the same voters that they relied on for a century, now that those voters are disillusioned.

The fact that democratic partisans cannot extend sympathy to these people is the very reason for their electoral failures.
RFK Jr. the only choice I see. But maybe that’s just me.
I liked RFK Jr. until he caved to the Israel lobby.
On everything else he is great. Perfect is the enemy of good.
Is he? Climate change? The hoax that started in `72 and just keeps getting dumber.
True that.
The trouble started when the smart set substituted "climate" for "weather."
"Climate" has a vaguely scientific, and therefore intimidating connotation that pleases the smarty pants types, who are always looking for a new stick with which to beat the great unwashed.
"Weather," on the other hand, is just a good old noun that everyone understands so our rulers had to ditch it.

Well, you can chose between Trump and Biden. Both of them are perfect, right?

West's job is to herd disaffected people into the Democratic corral, like "Bernie."
Jill Stein and whoever the Libertarians are running I think are also not on the AIPAC trough.
A VP pick that was part of Event 201 is a bit suspicious as well.
I've gone from initially viewing Kennedy's candidacy with enthusiasm to seeing him as a vanity candidate who's running on nostalgia for his uncle and father.
This is a conspiracy theory, or a loose, unattached chunk of conspiracy theory, hitherto unknown to me. Thanks for sharing. Might want to examine the connection between "Event 201" and "Area 51." Coincidence that both end in the number "1?"

Another public service announcement from the Kremlin.
RFK Jr. at least listens to counter arguments. His choice for VP is better than Trumps last choice and better exponentially than Bidens.
40 year environmental lawyer not at all captured by the climate political narrative.
"Climate change" (or whatever the hell these clowns are calling it now) is an effort by the one percent to impoverish everyone else.
They want to drag the world back to the pre-industrial age.
While they constantly fly around the globe on private jets cuz, ya know, they're "expertise" and mere existence are, ya know, indispensable. Just die already and join the graveyards full of "indispensable" people.
*their "expertise"
EU Court just came out with ruling that a new human right is to not be subject to climate change. Or something like that: it’s hard to enumerate something that is probably beyond human control. I can see why the UK left that conglomeration (EU).
The notion that humans affect the weather in a significant way is the latest sign that we are in a post-enlightenment era of superstition.
It's only a matter of time before we start burning people at the stake.
The EU will now control the sun.
I'm with the climate change board and we don't want to impoverish you we want to enslave you. A common enough misconception.
Thanks for clearing that up!
What’s your beef with the pre-industrial age?
Poverty, disease, ignorance.
Other than that I am sure it was a good time for all.
The Luddites were a grand lot. The reaction to them, of course, exhibited the violence inherent in the system.

pretty sure if he had somehow won the Democratic nomination he would go full bore machine politician, with one or two variations
I just think of Greta Thunberg’s face and move on.
You mean when she was squalling about stealing her dreams and her childhood? She can bite me.
Yup. ‘Thunberg Face’ enters the lexicon ;)
He's also full on witless stupidity on the climate change hoax.
As opposed to full on general witless stupidity?
Israel and his VP pick are a problem. Boteach proved RFK Jr. can still be bullied by certain forces. We really need an "act of God" like a meteor over the Pentagon instead of our current "choices."
I'm increasingly convinced that the problem is that the US is too big and powerful.
We should have remained a relatively small country of farmers, artisans and mechanics.
Instead we became this militarized monstrosity. We're as dangerous to each other as we are to the world at large.
IMHO, the issues that most people have with RFK Jr.’s stances on things such as climate change, Israel, the Second Amendment, etc. are all worthy of reasoned discussion. And I have no doubt that RFK Jr. will debate them thoughtfully and respectfully. The issues with Biden, censorship, endless wars, rampant illegal immigration, are not only extremely divisive they will never be honestly debated by Biden. Even if he were capable of such debate. Does anyone honestly believe the man has anything close to the cogent ability to do so? As for Trump, if elected, his opponents will wage war on him and his administration from day one. To the detriment of the entire nation.
Yeah, people who get mad because they are raped. tortured, and murdered are evil people.
Speaking on the Twins Pod, he caved on Ukraine, too. Said ethnic Russians "wanted to be taken over" to be part of Russia, that Zelensky is a "puppet" of America that "we put in there" (somehow convincing the Ukrainians to vote for him), "if he crosses the U.S. his own ultra-right people will kill him . . . so he does what we say," and that "there's a huge Nazi problem in Ukraine" (prompted by one of the hosts). As a Camelot remnant, his intellectual failings are irrelevant to his role as a spoiler.
Sorry to disagree but I believe Kennedy is correct in describing Zelensky as a US puppet.
The "comedian" wouldn't last five minutes without boatloads of cash from his American sugar daddies.
Hell, he might have to go back to playing the piano with his you know what. We must, at all costs, spare him that terrible fate!
As for Nazis in Ukraine, I think it's a well-established fact that they are there and have been since WWII.
Zelensky is desperate for American arms so is averse to criticizing our failures to defend against Russian ambitions. If that makes him puppet, his people voted for a puppet. Any Nazis in Ukraine fighting Stalin, who starved them during Holodomor, would be very old by now. Might want to double check your well established facts.
Whatever.
I could care less about Zelensky and Nazis.
What I care about is the fact that no vital US interests are at stake in Ukraine.
Let the Ukrainians have it. Let the Russians have it. Let Ukraine vanish off the face of the earth. Just get us the hell out of the place.
But their children & grand children would not be very old.
There are nazis in Ukraine. Then again there are more nazis in Idaho than there are in Ukraine.
If you say so.
However they are not dragging us into a war.
Before WWII I believe...
I get it, but RFK knows that U can’t get elected in America if you go against the Israel lobby.
RFK isn't going to be elected regardless of what he says
That's no excuse for knuckling under to the Israel lobby.
Exactly.
I think you mean "he caved" - interesting slip.
Or he looked at the facts and decided what was right to do.
He’s a cabinet level guy. He doesn’t have the management or business prowess for the whole job.
I felt the same way, now a bit hopeful as I hear he is softening on his pro Israel stance.
I just see him as another grifter. I doubt he'll get ballot access in all 50 states. None of the independent candidates seem like anything other than people trying to fundraise off of people's misery and grab a little attention for themselves. I'll probably just vote for Jill Stein in protest and maybe the Green Party will get the 5% they need for public election funding.
If there are future elections to be funded, that is.
I'd love to hear his stance on this issue. I think it would be perfect for him. No-one is asking for special favours, just to be treated fairly.
Excellent. Buybacks are, it seems, the core problem with Boeing, too, and the reason America went from producing some of the best products in the world to producing crap.
Re: the working class getting crushed. Twas ever thus. The Versailles liberals couldn't give a rat's ass about anyone but themselves. Don't expect that to change.
Spot on. A bit more about Boeing case from local source: https://www.thestranger.com/transportation/2024/04/09/79460588/seattle-times-admits-mudede-was-right-about-boeings-downfall
It's amazingly short-sighted. They couldn't/wouldn't see the cumulative affect of tossing millions of Americans into the poor house year upon year. I believe the election will be a representation of how Americans see themselves. I certainly hope there's more of us poor-house people. It's sad that our best hope is a rich asshole. What a country!
Don’t disagree with anything you’ve said except: what electoral failures? That red ripple in 2022 doesn’t add up. We’ll see if anything changes in 2024.
The democrats held a majority in the house of representatives for four consecutive decades in the 20th century. Compared to that, their success in recent elections just doesn't stack up.
That's back when they stood for working people and good government.
The Democratic party never stood for anything. They were forced to do things when threatened electorally by left-wing populists and socialisists. Remember, W.E.B. Duboise got million votes and 6% of the popular vote as a socialist while in prison. Democrat Wilson deported and, prosecuted and persecuted left-wingers and anti war activists. The corporate Dems have helped destroy the New Deal policies in a good cop/bad cop kabuki theater since the beginning. The Dem party has never been anything but a cheap, soulless pliable whore to whichever direction the wind and money are coming from.
I think you might mean Eugene Debs, who was in prison and received that large number of votes.
"Du Bois." He never ran for President nor was he ever incarcerated---obviously you're confusing him with Eugene Debs. Strange. Put the bottle down and pick up the book.
Like both Malcolm X and MLK said: the only difference between conservatives and lib'rels is they both hate you but the conservatives do it up front and libs welcome you to their house, then stab you in the back when we you leave.
Don't hold back, now. Nice!
It's also back before conservatives in the Democratic Party got fed up and left it in droves.
One can only hope.
The efforts with the media psyops are laughable, yet effective. As with covid, the media tells their audience that only intelligent, educated people think a certain way. It's the hicks and hayseeds that disagree with the intelligent, educated people; like them. And their minions fall in lockstep as they pat themselves on the head.
"Look at you, so sophisticated. You'd never fall for being manipulated! Not like those toothless hillbillies that don't even want an electric car, because they're being lied to by the bad, evil media. Can you believe that? Aren't you glad you're here, with the good, right, smart people?"

"The best way to oppose fake news is for people to watch outlets like MSNBC."
- Congressman Ted Lieu (no shit, really!), who'd like to watch your wallet for you please.
Uh-huh. Speed kills, John.
Meanwhile half the Dems' voter base walks away.
