You could become part of the feedback loop that I desperately need. As we make updates to the website or put out ideas, platform, planks, videos, etc. feedback is extremely valuable.

I wasn't afraid of the Iranians, but I am now. Because we've killed their children. Bombed their citizens. We attacked them hard - twice - while pretending to negotiate in good faith at the highest levels of our respective governments. We continue to aid and abet Israeli genocides. And speaking of Israel, the U.S. has sacrificed an unconscionable amount of our tax dollars for a nation that has universal healthcare. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

Corbin, as usual, you cut right to the heart of the matter. Saying aloud what most do not even admit, let alone acknowledge to themselves or others. In virtually every destructive category, it is the elites, the oligarchs, the kleptocrats, the insurers, the bankers, the stock brokers, the media supported via grotesque advertising in which there is ZERO acccountability for Truth In Advertising, the media which rake in maybe billions in stupid, childish and damaging attack ads during political rhetorical campaigns.This is a kleptocratic society, and it is dicatated, not by the normal citizenry, but by the capitalists who MUST keep selling expendable junk, at higher and higher pricing, grifting, stealing, causing bankruptcy, causing health failures, power failures, pollution control failures, infrastructure failures (if there is even a decent attempt to fix infrastructure at all). The bottom 95 percent pay for all these failures, and many more. This is a chattel country run by the massive Capitalist Company Store. To dare run for office, or if in office, to actually accomplish something for the nation's citizens, requires that you pass the corporate smell test, capitulate to the donors and their now entrenched staff in your campaign, and if elected, begin paying back and fund raising immediately for the next go round of betrayals to the public. In 3000 years not one damned thing about top-down hierarchy has changed. It still sucks, as in a giant sucking sound, a massive black hole consuming planet Earth itself, and the weary plants and animals who made it so great in the first place. Let us not be selfish in our Stockholm Syndrome. The real losers are the innocent biota, the air, the water, the soil, the highly organized and foundational physics and chemistry that allows Earth to exist at all. And yet, we want flush toilets and a McDonalds on the Moon. We are as crazy as hungry honey badgers, without the dignity of said badgers. Only we can stop this massive murder of our planet. Corbin is one hell of an organizer. I suggest we at least listen to what he says. Our input will help him sharpen his pencils and aid his 'community approach' to surviving disaster capitalism.

Excellent post. And let's not forget I'm pretty sure "we" were told all Native Americans threatened our way of life...seems to be the American way, to deflect blame onto anyone so the real culprits get off scot free. I appreciate the creation of a new PAC to help elect new folks to govern us. I know many of us reading this are having a hard time financially but if we all can contribute even a dollar to the new PAC I think it will help. For now I have quit sending letters to my members of congress and use the $2 plus and contribute to someone fighting for democracy and for now this new PAC will be my choice.

Well America is run by Pedophiles White Supremacist!? So its clearly “America”!!!!

Our “elite” have been waging war on the “lower classes” for decades. Perhaps the Lewis Powell memo was the open declaration!

What threatens our way of life is simple and clear. It's not any foreign or domestic enemy, it's not the current government, the Republicans, not even the notorious elites, even though they are a natural and inherent part of the problem. It's our economic and political system, the capitalism at its advanced imperial and, recently, more repressive and self-destructive stage. How to realistically and practically deal with it is a big question almost everyone, even among the progressive and "radical" Left, is trying to avoid. So far, "hope and change" rhetoric along with some "internal maintenance and repairs" is the most common solution.

I could not agree with you more. This is Capitalism on steroids and crank. I'm not a big fan of the common solution considering that in the Middle Ages the common solution for diarrhea was amputation...

Who said that Iranians hate us because we are free?

Are you still living 25 years ago?

Iris's avatar

In any case, we are NOT free. Unless we're very, very rich.

I was initially intending to comment, but this post pretty much says it all! As to Iranian "terrorism”, In the past 150 years Iran has not attempted to invade, conquer, or "regime change another country. In contrast, the US and Israel “axis” has done about 70 of them over the past half century (according to Columbia professor and frequent UN advisor Jeffrey Sachs).

Who are the real sponsors of state terrorism?

My siblings and I are all boomers. They are HORRIFIED that I no longer consider myself a Democrat. They say that if I don't support the mainstream Democratic candidates the Republicans will win. As the mother of a trans man and a decent human being, I don't want that obviously. But I want to make the changes needed to make a future Trump impossible. Insanity is to keep doing the same things hoping that this time it will change...

Our best chance to defeat the billionaires who are ruining this country and the planet is to take over the Democratic Party. It does not mean supporting the Democratic leadership that is owned by Wall Street and the other oligarchs.

NOT knowing whom to vote for in your own best interest is a big part of the problem. The website above has lists of candidates running for office and what they stand for. Check it out, inform yourself and tell others. Only you know what you need but some candidates know it too. Vote for them.

To even consider 911 was an attack is delusional. it was an inside job, all the way.

I want to contribute, but not through Act Blue. I believe they split donations with the DCCC, DNC etc. can I send a check?

America's Undoing's avatar

You sure can buy just so you Actblue takes a relatively small fee similar to Stripe or any processor. That’s why we need postal banking!

All wars are bankers wars. It’s about money. The petrodollar the LNG dollar, look at how those will be changed as a result and who benefits financially. Has nothing to do with terrorism.
