Pete desperately wants to bring real positive change to America and that’s why he’s backing the racist, corrupt, lying, incoherent, anti-public healthcare, Saudi-grovelling Iraq War supporter, who was VP for an administration that deported 2.5 million people, had a bank pick its cabinet, terrorised protesters, waged a genocidal war on Yemen, sold off millions of acres of land for oil extraction, targeted journalists, etc.
‘Centrists’ are fucking America - and thus, the world - just like they fucked the UK. Millions of poor, exploited working class voters donate what small amount of cash they have to the Bernie Sanders movement for change, only to be screwed over by 'centrist' liberals and their billionaire backers yet again.

Industrialized food system killing our brains?
It might be inefficient, devastating for the soil, horrific for the climate, torturous for the animals, and career-ending for local farmers, but at least our pesticide-ridden, monopolised, industrialised, globalised agriculture system is... making us more stupid.

Biden, another sociopath
When running for President in 1988, Joe Biden lied about having marched in the civil rights movement. The other day, he lied about being arrested in South Africa trying to see Nelson Mandela.
Like Trump, the man is a pathological liar and a sociopath.
But the major difference between the two is that Biden would, like George Bush or Obama, be a manageable puppet of the oligarchy; and thus he doesn’t get the same negative media treatment as the unpredictable, brash, Trump!
Biden would be a loyal, predictable servant of US Empire.

Remainiacs helped screw us all
Remainers who supported the campaign for a second referendum - was it really worth prioritising that we remain in an anti-democratic wannabe Empire that is fuelling the far-right both in Europe and abroad (eg supporting US coups in Latin America), over seeking an anti-fascist, anti-imperialist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist Labour government, to rule the world’s fifth largest economy? (Which could’ve had a profound impact on the world!).
Sadly, I think doing so has helped lead us to where we are today, with a hard Brexit and Tory rule now set in stone for the foreseeable.

Democracy + Billionaires = Impossible
Via an unprecedented PR campaign, racist billionaire Mike Bloomberg may well fool enough people into voting against their interests, and thus win enough delegates to prevent Bernie Sanders from winning the primary outright.
Millions of exploited workers have gotten involved in politics, donating what small amount of money they have to the Sanders campaign, only for one of their billionaire exploiters to come along and screw them some more, denying them healthcare, dignity, hope.
America is a totalitarian oligarchy, not a democracy.

The 'free press' are gatekeepers for the powerful, as shown by their treatment of Assange
In the ‘free and democratic’ UK, a journalist sits behind bulletproof glass, unable to speak to his lawyers, psychologically tortured, denied freedom for 10 years, denied medical care, persecuted for publishing facts about the powers that be; for unveiling corruption and war criminality.
Where’s the outrage from other journalists? Nowhere to be seen, because, unlike Wikileaks, the main function of the media organisations that they work for is to manufacture public consent for the very criminality that Assange is being persecuted for exposing. Hence their 10-year long disinformation campaign against him.
We have an illusion of free speech and opposition in our 'liberal democracies'. The media’s role is to gate-keep for the powerful, not to seriously challenge them - how can it when it is owned by them?
Real dissent that seriously threatens the plutocracy is not allowed. At best, you end up smeared (like Jeremy Corbyn) or ignored. At worst, you end up imprisoned like Assange - or bombed/sanctioned, if you’re in a disobedient country that does not want to be ruled and plundered by western corporations.
Read Craig Murray's blog for updates re Assange's extradition hearing - a 'show-trial', as Murray calls it.

Coronavirus - capitalist countries cannot respond as China did
I’m confused by the forecasts of Coronavirus becoming a pandemic that will infect billions of people, given that the number of new cases is already falling in China?
Is it fear-mongering, or is it true, and due to other countries being shit at handling this kind of thing, compared to China?
I wonder how many people in the US who’re already struggling to survive, working pay-check to pay-check, will catch the virus, but then go to work anyway and spread it about, because they can’t afford not to. Capitalism is only interested in short term profit, and there’s no money to be made in preventing the spread of a virus. (Plenty of opportunity to profit off the vaccine though!).
Does our current system make it impossible to implement the necessary collective response to a crisis like this? Government too powerless, corrupt, and senseless? For starters, if there was any sense in the US, they’d immediately drop the sanctions on Iran, which are hampering their efforts to contain the virus. (...if there was any sense in the US, there would be no sanctions in the first place!).
Here is US politician, Nancy Pelosi, saying that a future vaccine for the virus must be 'affordable'. Not free, just affordable. The richest country on earth won't even give their already poverty-stricken populace a free vaccine against a deadly virus, because profit trumps sanity and humanity. Capitalism is evil.
