Well it seems to make quite a bit of noise right now in the MSM. As for the absence of outrage... I feel like everyone understands this administration is completely incompetent and no one is surprised. I wouldn't even bat an eye if Goldberg gets invited to yet another Signal chat called "We must kill Goldberg to send a message". I'm just glad that the anti-Europe attitude is on full display yet again, hopefully serving as yet another wake up call for Europe to ban every single American from entering the continent and closing down any and all cooperation with the failed state that is the US.

Yeah. Both on r/worldnews and r/europe. Not in smaller national subreddits though, where people are up in arms about the Europe comments. I don't understand why Reddit would seek to censor these leaks, as they are already disseminated across the MSM everywhere.

I think they realize this. Their latest messaging is "get active, go out into the streets, do something". This is as much a call to action as it is an admission of helplessness on part of the Democrats. And while I support that message, I hope they also understand the fight is NOT being waged on behalf of Democrats, who need to transform as much as the GOP has or better yet disappear and make space for something better.

Why is this random piece of history relevant in a news comm though

Look at OPs profile picture, then search for "Lakhta-2 business center".

Oh no there once was a dude called Stepan Bandera, this CLEARLY means Ukraine must surrender immediately to Russia!

Go back to Telegram.

Well, you can't vote fascists out, but historically speaking they've always been voted IN. Authoritarianism is always a degeneration of liberalism. When people get fat and lazy, shit like this happens. Weak men creating hard times ect.

This made me so mad I actually looked up my representative and wrote her how impotent this stunt was. Of course, "writing your representative" is just as pathetic, but SOMEONE had to hear about my anger. Kudos to Al Greene though. The old geezer stood up for all of us, literally.

Not by voting, but tomorrow I will hold up a sign near a road for 2 hours. Trump will have no choice but to step down after that.

Trump and gang is trying to have AOC charged for terrorism, so it seems to be working. She should either get DNC leadership now or finally form her own party.

Don't care what's a dirty word where, I don't self-censor. Yeah outside the US liberal means market-liberal (libertarians). The Liberal party USA is a splinter of libertarians as well. They had a fall-out at a libertarian convention in 2022, where it became clear libertarians were bought by Russia, started calling for appeasement to Russia and some members started being overtly racist. About a fifth of the caucus left the convention in disgust and formed the "Liberal Party", which is actually pretty socially progressive while retaining fiscal conservatism. As for third party math, all it would need to take for third parties to work is for people to vote for it. Have enough people do that and dems might actually re-align. It just can't continue on like this.

There are more Russian refugees in the US than Ukrainian ones. Are they gonna have their status revoked too?
