    Now that I think of it, that murderer Kyle Rittenhouse got off because of all the support from right wing media… why can’t we have a party to back us up? Could a good legal defense and public support actually work in the favor of good people for once? Can we see Luigi speak at a new DNC once he’s acquitted and give a speech on behalf of a progressive candidate?

    Jesus, what a fantasy timeline I just thought of. Lol

      The Dems rely on corporate America, they will not be an ally in revolution

      This wouldn’t happen of course, but…

      Whatever the message is, it just won’t reach. The money is so disproportionate from progressive voices to conservative voices. There was a bubble chart referenced in a Walter Masterson video describing social reach for right versus left, just so lopsided, the truth can’t win anymore. You can have the mist compelling message from the most compelling person on the left, doesn’t reach.

          There’s nothing to pardon. Presidents can only pardon federal crimes. This is a New York murder case.

            I know, but I was saying, even if, hypothetically he could, he wouldn’t. Because a politician willing to do such a pardon would never get elected in the first place, no matter how left you get.

            I doubt even a President Bernie Sanders would do it (again, if presidents could pardon state crimes) even if he personally is okay with the perpetrator’s actions, he still would not use a pardon for it, cuz doing so is basically asking for an elite to assasinate you.
