Tulsi Gabbard is our friend. This is a rebuttal to a Jacobin article claiming otherwise.

Too bad this doesn't address her CFR membership or the funds which got her into office- an anti-gay cult with lots of power in Hawaii which she is still affiliated with.

I guess the question is is she a progressive or a neo-con playing progressive?

d3rr · 2019-01-16T19:37:32+00:00

Yep!

These guys are the real deal, they are a social purpose company with benefiting the customer locked into their bylaws as the #1 priority.

Partial list of their investments: https://www.iqt.org/portfolio/

God damnit they got GitLab, and Microsoft recently got GitHub.

Classic! When I first saw this they were calling it "the illusion of choice". I wish someone would maintain a live version of this.

d3rr · 2019-01-16T06:02:46+00:00

Sounds like a winner for sure, but with so many lists I've lost sight of which ones would make the most change. Focusing on the front runners for 2020 would be a good way to narrow it down.

Glad you like it man. I caught wind of a cult and had to dig in and figure out what the heck was going on. I still have no idea, but I think it's fair to say that she was born and raised in a gay hating cult that spends lots of $ to get politicians elected. And she votes with the republicans a lot of the time which is okay with me, but it's disingenuous to pitch her as a progressive.

She is hella cute and she talked about legalizing weed and called the US terrorists and all of that, music to my ears. But yeah, too good to be true. I wanna root for someone too. I wish there was a non-corporate libertarian party kicking ass but an honest progressive would do it for me. How about Ocasio-Cortez? I don't know if she's my cup of tea, but I still hope she can bring some progressivism to the democrats.

My hat is off to you for not letting Bernie off the hook. Yeah he fucked us all when he could have fucked the entire system instead. Fucked the system on live TV when millions were watching. God himself could not have given Bernie a more ideal setup, the proof of DNC corruption had leaked like 2 days before. Maybe we should animate that up, Bernie doing the right thing when it counted.

I have no idea what vaporwave is. Not sure if it's music or an art style or both but I guess that's the style we were after. Some kind of tron and cyberpunk and 80s mashup.

Oh this guy is gonna splain it to us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdpP0mXOlWM

Well thank you for all of your help around here.

d3rr · 2019-01-16T05:42:05+00:00

I feel similarly. Supremacy and wanting to preserve your heritage or cultural group are miles apart. This polish thing is interesting, I'll have to check it out.

d3rr · 2019-01-16T01:21:15+00:00

I like it. The logo goes with the meaning of the site name so that's pretty cool. Not sure if it will detract from the vaporwave thing we have going on, but maybe that's more about the colors.

And as a minor point I like getting away from the pyramid A since multiple people have told me it looks occultist or illuminati like :)

d3rr · 2019-01-15T23:11:21+00:00

Imo it's for low brow insulting me or users or public figures or races and ethnic groups. If a well reasoned and not ad hominem or name calling argument is presented, it will be allowed.

d3rr · 2019-01-15T11:48:17+00:00

This gets pretty crazy. Gabbard's cult was financed by Taliban purchased drugs in the 80s. Her whole family is connected to the cult- her parents, her husband, her ex husband, and even 5+ of her current DC staff. The whole cult is focused on anti-homosexuality. Her and her dad both switched parties to the democrats when it became convenient/necessary to win. She has not denounced this cult and is still a member. The cult has got numerous politicians elected in Hawaii and has outspent the competition by as much as 4x.

Lots of parallels to Obama here, and more Hawaii, freaking weird. At the very least, a decent case could be made that she's a neocon acting like a progressive. And she was literally raised in a sketchy ass cult.

Yes. But where is this rule coming from? I guess the mods of WayOfTheBern set it up?

I don't see why not either. This approach is straightforward and successfully in use elsewhere. Thanks for your commentary on this stuff.

yawn

I thought you were a libertarian bot. Bad bot.

This guy is no muslim, not that there aren't muslim terrorists and whatnot

Out of deference to his Jewish friends, Hassan expressed aversion to producing shows about Palestine.

On March 5, 2010, Hassan's attorneys announced that Hassan "isn't even a practicing Muslim and that public speculation has been unfair."

Most of their employees were not Muslim, the former employee said, and Muzzammil Hassan himself was not devout, neither praying nor fasting.

I really want to like your content, but then you water it down with shit like this.

d3rr · 2019-01-15T06:39:30+00:00

It's pretty cool seeing an actual study of this stuff. I found it interesting that the seemingly "Palestinian centric" articles are also full of propaganda and manipulation.

d3rr · 2019-01-15T06:31:58+00:00

The pyramid of debate... repeated ad hominem attacks or name calling/trolling is prohibited.

d3rr · 2019-01-15T06:20:12+00:00

Hhahaha exposing Bernie in the Bernie sub, love it. Alas there is a turtle meme preventing me from examining this turtle policy, I can't find it.

Also I second dude's criticism of Gabbard and I've heard some sketchy things about Stein although I still like her and voted for her, not that it matters much.

d3rr · 2019-01-15T05:00:06+00:00

Yes, Reddit has us beaten down so hard with ban happy mods that we don't classify correctly anymore. I'm in the middle of deconditioning myself too.
