Propaganda will never die out. Intelligent men must realize that propaganda is the modern instrument by which they can fight for productive ends and help to bring order out of chaos. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda
@breadandcircuses There is something we can do: #VoteGreen and not for the #Uniparty

This invisible, intertwining structure of groupings and associations is the mechanism by which democracy has organized its group mind and simplified its mass thinking. To deplore the existence of such a mechanism is to ask for a society such as never was and never will be. To admit that it exists, but expect that it shall not be used, is unreasonable. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda
We are governed, our minds molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda
@ChrisMayLA6 I would only add:
Build a democratic system of governance, whereby the electoral system designed to choose representatives of the people cannot be undermined by the current #Uniparty system with its big money donors.
@ariaflame @jezebelkat @lowqualityfacts
Please, you assume I support Trump merely because I oppose the "opposition". I most certainly do not. He is another one of the #Uniparty, all of whom I despise.
As to domestic law, all those POTUS I named (& others) are guilty of breaching at least the Leahy Law, which prohibits supplying weapons to military units that are committing human rights abuses. The documentation of such abuses by the #IDF over 75 years means those POTUS have breached this law.

Sure. Vote #Democrat . Actually, you can vote #Republican and not much will change. A bit of tinkering around the edges of social issues, but the economy will still be nose-diving. The forever war will continue. And more and more people around the world will learn to hate the #US.
Vote for independents or minor parties. Try to restore some democracy to the #Uniparty system.
@chiclet @farbel
The only appropriate treatment for being stuck with genocide supporting Biden is full excision. Also, I note that playing this "lesser of 2 evil" game merely perpetuates the underlying problem - a #Uniparty that can readily be manipulated by monied interests, despite the desires of voters. #Biden #Trump
@breadandcircuses
Yes indeed. The #Uniparty system has been designed over centuries, & ensures those pesky voters have NO influence on anything of major importance. Oh, identity politics is fine. A few adjustments to social enterprises etc. But don't mess with the plutocrats, money or wars!

OOOOOOOHKay!
So I don't know how he's going to do this except to make a deal backing a particular house republican in exchange (which is the point I was trying to make the other night @Mary625 ...and who else was in the convo?).
but here's the thing, if he manages to enact it, it sounds like a great thing! holy shit. like i was saying the other day, we can put forth legislation that's actually *bipartisan* across the citizenry like paid family leave, stricter gun controls, higher taxes for the rich, healthcare for all....
but mark my fucking words. hakeem jeffries isn't interested in anything bipartisan, but only "bipartisan". what do the donors of the corporatists of both parties want?
military budgets will pass. corporate handouts and cuts to taxes will happen, you better fucking believe that oil is going to happen.
but the media will spin it beautifully. jeffries will be a hero. the left will be "pro-republican" for calling out his bull shit.

#Bannon has spent years promoting the #BigLie…, railing against #coronavirus mandates & what he refers to as a “criminal invasion of the southern #border.” His obsession of late was toppling #McCarthy & taking out what he describes as “#uniparty” #Republicans who have become indistinguishable from Democrats. (?)
W/McCarthy’s historic downfall…, (Bannon’s) wing of the party has claimed its most prominent trophy.
#Gaetz, already #fundraising off the dramatic day in the #House wrote a post headlined, “Patriots vs. Uniparty.”
“The #Uniparty” recently re-popularized by #SteveBannon & re-imagined for #ConspiracyTheorists refers to the “deep state” & “globalist” establishment cabal, used by #Trump & the #antisemitic as well.
