Comment on YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power.

My comments werent to say the two were directly related, just that there are still instances of public murder in the US. I’m not at all full of hate, I just think the US is ridiculous with their passionate platitudes ( “This isnt Us”) and then they elect nazis (it absolutely is ye) and still manage to feel superior.

The american exceptionalism has walked the population off a cliff because everyone was all too happy to be told how great they are instead of keeping up with global progress. See the below for a no exhaustive list:

infant mortality

Maternity leave

Employment rights

Incarcerated civilians

Incarcerated non civilians

National debt

Average lifespan

Number of billionaires

Number of homeless

Well one problem would be thinking everyone in the US is the same. Not everyone voted for him, not everyone wants this.

Yes the US has a ton of problems, yes idiots are voting against their own self interest, but that’s not what the country is comprised entirely of.

  I feel like we can at this stage, he was elected twice. The second time with greater support. All other branches have followed suit. The market leaders capitulate. Its great that AOC and Sanders exist but its hardly indicative of any greater shift in thenpolitical landscape…given the two party system has kept Sanders at arms length for decades and AOC has been brushed aside wherever possible.

    Well if you think a leader being elected means everyone wants that leader then there’s not much of a conversation to be had, because that’s simply not true. Never has that been true throughout history.

    Yeah yeah this is more of the same bs, “not my president”. I never thought that, I don’t think every NK supports Kim but relations should not be normalised while he is there.
    
    Americans love slogans and this is the perfect out, rather than actually fucking engaging and making a difference. Too busy lapping up shit and thinking of funny signs to hold up at the next stop te genocide rally.
