Both are still bad though, and progressivism shouldn’t just be an ideal it should be action and resistance against the status quo. The Democrats and their Neoliberalism is harmful. Maybe not as bad as Conservativism, but also still bad.

Not both sides, Dems are barely left/center and have qualities shared with the right. I support far left politics

Republicans and Democrats*

Illegal in the sense that the current Cuban government sees it as an illegal occupation under international law. The 1903 treaty that practically gave the US Guantánamo Bay hasn’t been recognized by Cuba since 1959. Unethical in the sense that it’s in violation of Cuban sovereignty, and the human rights abuses.

The US occupation of Guantánamo Bay is illegal and unethical

I’m currently reading Blackshirts & Reds and will also read others from your reading list. It’s an amazing book and it’s helping deprogram the US propaganda that I’ve been taught all my life and teaching me new things/ideas. I’m new to socialism/communism, even though I’ve been adjacent to it the last several years so I appreciate you making the list!

Thats right I forgot he is one of Trump’s “warriors”

Seeks asylum in another country while probably having a problem with people seeking asylum in the US

I turned 18 before the general election in 2016 but I regrettably didn’t vote. A couple years later I became a big Bernie supporter and voted for him in 2020. He’s the only genuine politician I can think of that makes sense.

I’ll try that thanks!

I’ve been canvassing twice so far. The second time I wasn’t able to talk to anyone, but hopefully I will next time.

In middle school I was bullied for being jewish by pretty much everyone. One day in the cafeteria the PE teacher we had at the time caught word of this and called me over to have a private conversation to tell me that what the other kids were doing wasn’t right and gave me some background on himself. It did make me feel better and after that moment the bullying didn’t affect me. A few years later he sadly passed away from heart complications, I’ll never forget the talk we had and that he had my back.
