this "lifelong democrat" has been vote shaming leftists for not wanting to vote/withhold their vote for biden, ridiculed the idea to push ppl in power for M4a, and is now defending ben dixon smearing julian assange. how do people like this get to be members of DSA?
julian assange is a hero who exposed the bloody war crimes of the US empire & is being tortured for it, fuck you if you think otherwise
here is a good breakdown of the smears against him. ben dixon tried to paint him as a bad faith actor by linking him to the trump campaign, which hillary clinton and co. did to do as well
btw i have met great ppl from DSA, ppl who hate this guy among them, but i don't know a lot abt that organization. i know it's quite large, you're obviously gonna have all sorts of ppl there

i see ben dixon likes to smear people instead of listening to their arguments. did you know he also led a smear campaign against julian assange 3 years ago?
here is an article by @caitoz addressing all smears against julian assange. bookmark it bc you'll come across "leftists" who like to attack assange more often than not unfortunately rcreader.com/commentary/deb…
smearing is one of the oldest tricks in the book. pls read this part where @caitoz explains why smearing is so effective. always be aware of this to not fall for it. whether it's assange or jimmy dore, smear artists know what they're doing
obama saying to trevor noah that it's hard to be ethical because you inherit wars and he can't revert the decision to go into iraq. dude you took the US from 2 wars to 7, wtf are you talking about
but he talks so smoothly and he's so charming, so it's all okay😍🌊
300'000 US americans are dead, over 14 million people have lost their health coverage, and people are still debating whether you should use this opportunity to fight for universal healthcare or not. i am sorry, but the "left" in the US is embarrassing
i understand that the left in the US faces a more authoritarian, capitalist surveillance state than other places, being the number one imperial country in the world necessitates crushing its working class organizations & funding its giant military leaves less for social programs.
