After railing against socialism giveaways from government, and calling socialism the new communism, Trump wants to give everyone $5,000 for doing nothing -- just give it away as a bribe for GOP votes.

A president conditioning a $5,000 payment on his own party winning Congress is buying an election result out loud, on camera, and calling it a dividend to make it sound legitimate. Nobody gets to purchase your vote with your own tax dollars. #CorruptTrumpRegime

Billionaire tax cuts are a choice. Cutting healthcare is a choice. Gutting food stamps is a choice. Spending billions on an illegal war is a choice. Slapping tariffs on everything is a choice. A $5000 bribe barely offsets the pain people are feeling — and sure as hell won't erase it.

They are not, as they are sometimes made out to be in the West, a monolithic opposition. Like the society of which they are a part, they represent a plurality of political traditions, beliefs and strategies of resistance. While they often stand together, they do not necessarily agree on everything, including the implications of the US-Israeli attacks, which occurred at a moment when Iranian society was reeling from extreme poverty, corruption and repression.
