i’d hardly call it a “new” low

too much cracker, not enough soup

Yeah, this bothers me

Honestly it doesn’t quite matter to me if the election victory is ‘legitimate’. My opposition to US-backed coups (both dems like Chris Murphy and repubs like John Bolton admit in public that they tried & failed to coup Venezuela) is not contingent on its target being socialist, progressive or democratic

BadEmpanada can defend himself from critique by claiming he’s just being factual, but even the fucking Majority Report had more principle in stating they didn’t know for certain because they weren’t experts on Venezuela, and more importantly putting front and center their opposition to US regime change

When you have Kamala Harris supporters arguing a more principled anti-imperialist position than you, you know you’ve fucked up

Exactly

Simultaneous fatphobia and “you own product but you are communist, curious” bs
