Bernie's not going to come out and condemn US involvement in overthrowing Yanukovych. But he is a reformist, so he'll let slip something like this:

getfiscal posted:

"...Russia's aggressive actions in the Crimea and in Ukraine..."



I'm not sure America's Ukrainian allies will like hearing that Crimea isn't a part of Ukraine. It's not much of a concession, but it is one.

he also at least finally had the balls to condemn kissinger last debate which is the only good thing i've heard him say for months, and it's very depressing that condemning an american war criminal is a noteworthy development in american politics

a friend told me that the professor in his class had them read left-wing communism and then used it to support the idea that voting for Bernie is a revolutionary act

bernie sanders has a debug feature where if he articulates a message about the racist imperialism of the united states his code jumps to a line where every cnn anchor quotes his blood drenched speeches back at him. i'd blame it on jacobin but they lack STEM. meanwhile here's the cover of time magazine this week:



oh wait i'm sorry that's every time magazine cover ever, my bad.

i don't know, it is extremely bad. because i grew up caring about american electoral politics and being a Politics Carer was a big part of my identity it's hard not to pay attention to it, and to post about it. probably to the detriment of my long-term health

i disagree with some of what you've said here but it's disagreements of fact rather than principle, which 1. i don't disagree in any profoundly informed way so arguing about them would first require a bunch of research (which might prove me wrong anyway) and 2. maybe this isn't really the thread for.

*To Odessan citizen, burning and broken after leaping from window* "I'm not interested in your pro-Russian conspiracy theories"

-as an actual oddessan i can tell you that terrible kremlin agiprop is fairly easy to spot and it is also really dumb. i understand why some us lefties (lol - WildStalins) would think it is plausible because the US loves to overthrow govs but in this particular situation it happens to be Russian imperialism, revanchism and nationalism trying to impose a puppet government on a society it calls The Ukraine, like a territory.
Russia happens to be in a grip of fervent pan slavic, theocratic nationalism to buttress its decaying anti-society and Ukraine is all that was needed to fire shit up.

When you say actual Odessan do you mean you live in Odessa?

- im from odessa

Oh so like the first generation Cubans that live in Florida. Cool. -prints out your post and throws it in the garbage-
