        I mean the Dems in my life have never done so many things correctly in a couple of weeks. Betting against that happening was a good bet.

          I think it’s because they’re actually scared of Trump with presidential immunity and a Supreme Court that will allow him to do whatever the fuck he wants, so they switched to “let’s actually try to win”. They might’ve seen they’re quickly approaching the “and then they came for me” part.

        It’s so wild, man. Trump got shot in the fucking head like 3 weeks ago, and absolutely no one gives a shit. His campaign is failing because they’re being called “weird.” This might be the worst fumble in history behind Hillary depending on if he loses and by how much

          With this pick, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the woke world you have created.

        this doesn’t really change anything tho for the vast majority of libs imo… they wouldn’t see this as a good thing, if they even cared in the slightest. They might even view it as a net negative that maybe he’s a bit of a coward who makes bad decisions for “NATIONAL SECURITY”.

      He’s giving me socdem-cheney vibes. He’s clearly competent enough to have an excellent control over his public image and he’s triangulated perfectly to pick up the (american) far left. I think he’s going to offer us and pony and the moon but not an inch on Palestine and then not do shit. Hell, given this press coverage, you’d think he’s the presidential candidate.

    ok so I have long giggled at the neo-Castro memes about Assad but I really don’t know much about him.

    I know he leads a nominally socialist government but Syria has also, let’s say, not been a very nice place for many people for quite a while, and some accuse Assad of war crimes.

    Can anyone spare a take? or point me to non-westoid resources to learn more? (i promise i am asking genuinely and not doing wrecker shit)

    Hexbear, I turn my ear to you who-must-go

    EDIT: thank u for all the thoughtful commentary!

      Assad has some bad and reactionary policies, but the stories about him using chemical weapons on civilians in territories he just liberated from terrorists is just horseshit (they were probably bombs planted by the fleeing terrorists)

        I guess, what are the good policies we support him for? I’m really not familiar with worker conditions in Syria before and after his coming to power.

        And again if there are good articles or whatever I’m happy to read, just not finding much from Wikipedia / other quickly accessible sources

          In all honesty this is why the term “critical support” is used, i.e. the individual is not an angel but is opposed to western advances that would have left Syria desolate/destroyed and in the hands of regressive terrorist groups that are even more reactionary towards various groups. i.e. Gadaffi was taken out in Libya and the Arab Spring happened and then suddenly there were open air human slave markets selling women and children in areas of Egypt and Libya is a good example of what happens when “western liberation” occurs in the Middle East and is why “critical support” is oriented towards understanding that things could be EVEN WORSE.

          I don’t know if there are many “good policies” outside of fighting against an invasion by the US, Israel, and western backed militias and ISIS terrorists. That is basically Syria’s modern existence. If he’s replaced by a pro-US puppet then Syria will likely face the same fate as Libya.

          Insofar as my “support” means anything at all, it’s on the basis of him being an enemy of Israel whose country has been fighting for its life for a long time against terrorists and imperialists. I don’t especially like the Ayatollah (though I think he’s a smart guy), but I’d say I’m supportive of Iran for largely similar reasons, though it is a much more secure country than Syria.

      Palestinians have fled to Syria. They were supportive of Assad when he was declaring his support for Palestine, but I believe he’s become unpopular among the demographic after ISIS became the main priority and protests were cracked down.
