President Donald Trump just made it clear that he already has his eyes set on a new target following the US’s capture of the president of Venezuela. During a press conference on Saturday, he urged Colombian President Gustavo Petro to ‘watch his ass.’ The threat marks a dramatic escalation in tensions across Latin America, with Trump openly invoking the Monroe Doctrine to assert US dominance in the Western Hemisphere.

      Democrats: Here’s your corporate Dick Cheney loving wouldn’t do anything differently than genocide Joe the Zionist puppet.

      Progressives: Yeah, we’re not going to vote for that.

      Democrats: Can’t believe we lost to Trump, it’s the Progressives fault. Guess we need to go further neocon the next election.

        Not voting has never changed anything for the benefit of the non-voter. Never.

        If you want any sort of change - vote.

          I did vote for Jill Stein. But don’t act surprised that people don’t vote when given a fake choice between two neocons.

            Jill stein is a plant to make you vote third party in a system designed for only two parties.

              LOL, she didn’t make me. She earned my vote. I didn’t get what I voted for though unfortunately. You’re getting exactly what you voted for though.

              Yet you keep losing to people you claim are the dumbest people alive. Wonder if you’ll ever take some time for self-reflection & strategy besides, “Biden was young & dynamic!”

                The rich and powerful have so much control over politics. The one sliver of actual political power you hold is your vote. To think that giving up that power gives you any sort of political benefit is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard.

                You couldn’t even be bothered to do what very little you could to oppose a psychopath from becoming president.

                  I did, like I said I voted for Jill Stein. Did you vote for the psychopath Kamala, wouldn’t do anything different than genocide Joe, Cheney?
