September 30. 2004 Debate Transcript

(September 30, 2004)

KERRY: Thirty-five to forty countries in the world had a greater capability of making weapons at the moment the president invaded than Saddam Hussein. And while he’s been diverted, with 9 out of 10 active duty divisions of our Army, either going to Iraq, coming back from Iraq, or getting ready to go, North Korea’s gotten nuclear weapons and the world is more dangerous. Iran is moving toward nuclear weapons and the world is more dangerous. Darfur has a genocide.

The world is more dangerous. I’d have made a better choice.

LEHRER: New question. Two minutes, Senator Kerry. What is your position on the whole concept of preemptive war?

KERRY: The president always has the right, and always has had the right, for preemptive strike. That was a great doctrine throughout the Cold War. And it was always one of the things we argued about with respect to arms control.

Podium nur für Säbelrassler

Zumindest ein Veranstaltungsbesucher machte den versammelten Kriegstreibern dann aber doch einen Strich durch die Rechnung, indem er die erste Frage an das Podium stellte. Mit Blick auf die horrenden Rüstungsausgaben der USA und der NATO-Staaten, die weitaus höher liegen als die Russlands, fragte der Mann: »Wer bedroht hier eigentlich wen?«

I don’t look at Sanders losing primaries and think “my team is losing.” I look at them and say, win or lose, we have millions of people in this country who understand the realities of our world and the urgency required to fight for healthcare, against war and for justice.

Something for the left to think abt.

The reason everyone obsesses over the wants & needs of moderates is bc they r constantly threatening to vote for the other team/stay home. The party thinks the left will vote for them no matter what so we have 0 power & get treated like crap.

That’s why even though M4A and GND are overwhelmingly popular, voters choose Biden because they believe they must appease those finicky moderates. Progressives and leftists can be endlessly shit on (compared to nazis called toxic etc) bc they assume we will still vote blue anyway

Demokratie-Simulation der U.S.-„Demokraten“: Wann gründet sich endlich eine neue Partei?

Der unserer Einschätzung nach offensichtliche, vor aller Augen durch die „Demokratische Partei“ in ihren Vorwahlen vollzogene Wahlbetrug wird nur deshalb viele überraschen und schockieren, weil sie ihn nicht als solchen erkennen oder erkennen wollen. Dabei verhält sich diese Mutter aller Verräterparteien in der U.S.-Hegemonie genauso, wie wir es bei Radio Utopie erwartet haben und seit Jahren analysieren.

Prognose: Trump wird 2020 wieder U.S.-Präsident

(13. Juni 2018)

In keinem Falle kandidiert Sanders als unabhängiger Kandidat zur Präsidentschaftswahl und / oder gründet eine neue Partei. Und in keinem Falle schafft es die demokratische Linke in den U.S.A. diese vor der Präsidentschaftswahl in 2020 zu gründen. Dies geschieht erst nach der erneuten desaströsen Niederlage der sogenannten „Demokraten“ gegen Donald Trump.
