The bigger ones literally are lmao. That's why they're the big ones, they've had a huge outpouring of resources to make them so. "Tiananment square" is a well documented psyop and so is the so called Uyghur genocide propped up almost exclusively on Adrian nonZenz

Weaponizing your identity might work in reddit or Twitter but I don't think it's gonna get you traction here

He should be. A lot of US corporations import Brazilian beef, soy and timber, and Brazil imports a lot of machinery and petrochemical products.

Brazil is the biggest economy in the region and has historically been a major fence sitter regarding the US. Antagonizing them is a really dumb decision.

Propaganda is when news isnt directly funded by the US or Europe 🤓

Kissinger is probably four degrees of separation from Epstein at the most and that's assuming Epstein had a handler

AOC has been sheepdogging hard. That vote blue no matter who bullshit, refusing to condemn the Palestinian genocide for over a year, voting for that ADL "antisemitism" bill. Not ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater yet but it wouldn't be surprising if she goes all social imperialist all of a sudden.

Productive for whom? Having an assload of dem bills isn't progress in and of itself. What did that congress pass that made life meaningfully better for everyone? They could have passed single payer healthcare, didn't. They could have passed medicare for all, didn't. They could have raised the federal minimum wage, didn't. Could have codified Roe v. Wade, fucking didn't.

First they filled the Obama cabinet with citibank execs right as it became clear that bankers had caused the economic equivalent of a manmade famine for a quick buck. Then, when it was time to pass the bills that got them elected they dragged their feet and watered down the bills as soon as they had the flimsiest excuse. I won't call it "compromising" because if they absolutely wanted to put their foot down and pass all that shit, they could have. We've seen ample proof. Their sponsors wouldn't stand for it and that's who calls the shots in Washington.

The purpose of a machine is what it does. Whenever Dems have a majority all they do is stall or endlessly dilute their bills until what was originally supposed to be a meal program or closing a loophole for insurance to scam people or whatever, has to include millions for cops or the DEA or an aid package for Israel. Real convenient how they're allowed to be real loud and progressive only when they're guaranteed to lose the vote.

The system remains functionally the same. It matters very little who has the majority, whatever the government ends up doing is usually what is popular with billionaires.
