      They own all of the media. I guarantee that the propaganda machine has started up against her already.

        The propaganda machine includes this very article. It’s already been going since her first primary run, and it will continue churning the propaganda against her out.

          I am of course referring to mainstream media that reaches the plebs. The ones who don’t exist terminally online and consume their information through all the small media outlets that are prolific here. People who watch NBC, CBS, and ABC and who regularly consume Fox News and CNN as their primary news source. Those are the people that are getting a 24/7 fire hose of misinformation about her.

            Yeah, and there’s only a few corporate ones. We have more independent news orgs in the US than corporate ones

        You have more access than most people in the world to firearms. Glass bottles are cheap, and gasoline, while increasing in price, is relatively still inexpensive

          You’re just one plane ticket away! Surely that won’t stop you from showing us how it’s done.

          good luck

            Oh, okay. You’re doing all you can, yeah? Not at all mistaking cowardice for helplessness? Nah. Couldn’t be. Weird how your whole country dined out for a couple centuries on the myth of being REALLY good at fighting tyranny against great odds. It’s almost like you made it your entire deal and used it as a cudgel against those who suggested you weren’t living up to your stated ideals. Huh.

              Your country probably bought into that lie.

              And by the way it was and is Boomers who pushed that. 🤷‍♂️ We’re just along for the ride here.

                The capital class wants to divide the working class.

                Creating generational divide is one way.

                You have way more in common with your grandparents than with a billionaire.

                  To put in perspective just how big a billion is: a million seconds is about 11 days. a billion seconds is 31 years. Crazy shit.

              You could at least get your own country to stop using the US dollar, stop trading with the USA, stop buying weapons from the US at least, and stop training with the US military. That would help a LOT.

              But, instead you’d rather enable the USA. Disgusting.

              It’s a plane ticket for either one of us, and since you’re the smart one with all of the solutions, you should of course lead the way. Like you said, glass bottles and gasoline are cheap, and so are plane tickets, so hop on the plane and SAVE THE WORLD.

              Or… just sit on your ass and tell other people what to do, while your own country enables the USA. You’re doing all you can, right?

                No, keep going.

                Keep getting defensive and illustrating exactly why they’re steamrolling you. Don’t stop. It’s already clear enough to me, but I think it’s useful that other people see the mindset that’s keeping US liberals from stopping MAGA.

                  Why are you obfuscating? It’s just a plane ticket, glass, and gasoline, right? So YOU can stop MAGA

                  please save us from the MAGA

                    What a stupid rebuttal…

                    In response to being accurately accused of not doing anything to overthrow the fascist ruling class in your own country, you ask people from other countries to come do it for you? And you think you’re being smart?
