Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

Anarchist/libsoc. If we’re stuck with a government, it should use its taxes for healthcare and education, not murdering.

  • “You had a primary and Biden won so he appointed Harris!”

    • Only Phillips had any shot above 0.1%
    • Forbidden from running on most ballots
    • Primary called before all 50 states had a shot
    • Phillips who ran was effectively blacklisted from working with them ever again
    • Biden wins
    • Phillips got so much flack for “I don’t want Trump to win” he is forced to leave office
    • Biden still is a fight of “Who can be the oldest white dude in office?”
    • Biden fucks up
    • Biden gives up
    • “Uhhh Harris is it now, the Silent Generation Dems said so”

    It’s an AR-16 to the foot and every time we try to attempt triage, they load a new magazine saying we’re the idiots for trying to stop the bleeding.






  • My eggs are more expensive too. So are everyone elses in the world. I just blame Putin for destabilising and the stores for blatant price gouging the second they felt they could.

    Exactly this. Harris probably would have overseen the shift of the prices going back down and the “muh economy and inflation” Republicans wouldn’t have had as big of an argument for 2028.

    Ukraine winning, Trump dies from health issues/arrested for his crimes (long shot on the last one), and doing her best to secure abortion and queer protections, she would have been great for her second term.

    And now we get nothing but the worst of both worlds.





  • “If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.”

    • Thomas Jefferson

    Were the people who fought against the rapid corruption and authoritarianism of Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Stalin-era Russia unjust for refusing to obey the laws that told them to kill Jews, Chinese and anarchists?

    Were the slave abolitionists in America wrong for freeing slaves, by illegal means? Were women who pushed for greater bodily autonomy by disobeying sexist laws incorrect?

    It is your moral duty to resist any law that imposes an unjust inequality to anyone and everyone.







    • Refuses to cover his campaign ads
    • Refuses to cover his victories
    • Intentionally leaving him off of nationwide polls when data allow him to be counted (CNN infamous called Sanders “Other Candidate” instead of showing him, but counted Andrew Yang)
    • Slander about him being sexist when he encouraged women to run for office and only started going in 2016 when he asked Warren to run and she declined.
    • Mass media campaign about calling the Jewish senator antisemitic for not being “pro killing children”

    So when the media is against you, people see it as a bad candidate, and don’t vote. Even when he was never a monster, but Trump got more air time saying “Mexicans bring rape”.
