Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today announced Senate votes on his two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) to block the sale of $8.8 billion in U.S. bombs and other munitions to Israel, including more than 35,000 massive 2,000-pound bombs. Floor debate on Sanders’ JRDs will begin around 1:30 p.m. ET, subject to change based on the Senate schedule.
Anyone else who considers themselves pretty progressive feel like they’re purposely being pushed away from this site by ml users and other barely literate trolls? Usually users who barely speak English, but spend 8-10 hours per day shitting on the US left, and (they think stealthily) promoting Donald Trump?
Just me?
Do you have any examples?
I think you might be mistaking criticism coming from the left with criticism by the right. ML people are likely to the left of you. The general criticism from the left is that the current Democratic party is so-not-left that it’s enabling Republican power and often collaborates with it. A recent example was passing the CR bill. I think the intent is to shift people who believe the current Democratic party is doing all it can to understand that it isn’t, and that it’s far from enough, and that supporting the mainstream Democratic party wing is going to produce more of the same insufficiency, ultimately leading more Republican power, perpetuating the poor-to-rich wealth transfer till it comes to a violent end of some sort. To be clear, the violence has already started but it will get worse as more people get poorer.
I haven’t seen anyone here shit on Sanders, and he represents the US left.
But regardless, ml users shouldn’t push you away from this site because you can just block whole instances.
Maybe stop spending time on .ml
