Maybe, it wasn't the "far" left or the left at all that lead to Hillary and Kamala losing the electoral college Why insist on assigning blame to leftists (who are actually politically involved) for not getting some corporate Dem elected without any evidence?

So U know of no leftist who did not vote for Harris, even though she did not stand up against genocide or support human rights in Palestine? Neither do I Yet U continue to claim that those terrible leftists are to blame for her loss? Hillary did that too Remember both of them won the popular vote

Again, who is this imaginary left? Do U know them? IMO we vote for Dems when we have 2 Given the number of AIPAC Dems in office, how else could it be? We r all regularly drummed into voting for corp Dems out of fear of a worse candidate r we not? The far left is not the problem its the solution

Is this "far left" in the room, now? Many of us have been repeatedly let down by corporate & AIPAC Dems... Garland is a great recent example of how they've enabled Trump but that doesn't mean we don't hold our nose & vote even for milquetoast Dems when faced with fascists- of course we do!

Meanwhile in the ongoing class war 300 billionaires families donated over "$3 billion -19% percent of all contributions in 2024 fed election Before Citizen United (2010) this was - 0.3% They gave ~ $10 million each, roughly equal to 100,000 typical political donors... not counting dark money...

That depends on what you mean by Iran If you mean that the US has been degrading the lives & freedom of the Iranian people, then the US war on Iran is considerably longer than 47 yrs Think back at least as far as Prime Minister Mossadegh in 1953, when the CIA overthrew their democratic republic

Verdict: True statement... but from 2015 "30% of Republicans were in favor of bombing the fictional city, while 13% were opposed. Donald Trump had the largest percentage of supporters in favor ... 24% of Dems who identified as "moderate" were in favor" www.snopes.com/news/2015/12...
