nixy

He’s against open borders because he’s a nationalist and subscribes to the myth that migrants hurt jobs

He voted to extradite Assata Shakur from Cuba, despite pretending to care about black lives

He supported Clinton’s bombing of Kosovo, prompting his own staff to resign, and he told people who disagreed with this to shut up and leave

He supports the state of Israel’s genocide and occupation of Palestine

His “socialism” is not radical, but reactionary – described perfectly as petty-bourgeoisie socialism

He voted to have food stamps cut, despite his “socialism”

I personally believe he uses the topic of police brutality for black votes only, but instead of campaigning in cities with high POC populations, he sticks to cities that are largely white to draw large mostly white crowds – and he’d rather focus on his campaign instead of standing with the Ferguson, Baltimore, Cincinatti, Phoenix, Denver, or Oakland protesters when they’ve needed the mainstream support the most

He plans to give his delegates to Hillary if he thinks he can’t win, despite being so against the two-party corporatocracy that herself and the party they’re both running under represent

He has nothing to say about native, migrant, or trans lives whatsoever

He voted to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan

He’s just pretty trash overall, even if I might agree with him on some things. His entire campaign keeps people who WOULD be radicals from grassroots organizing by directing grassroots efforts to some shitty presidential election.

I don’t care if you vote for him, I don’t care if you think he’s the lesser of evils, he’s still a part of the same corrupt system, and when it comes down to it I think he will be the enemy of the people if we ever tried to implement an alternative system, such as one based around direct action and mutual aid rather than property and surplus value.

I’m sorry, but this is so fucking stupid. PETA is claiming that this is what a sheep looks like after it has been sheared. In case you were wondering, this is what a sheep ACTUALLY looks like after it has been sheared:

And that isn’t some “best case” scenario, believe me, I live in a place that has more sheep than people, and all sheared sheep look like that. It does not hurt the animal at all, aside from perhaps the odd slip with the shears resulting in a minor graze. In fact, shearing sheep is necessary for their wellbeing, because domesticated sheep do not shed their wool like a non domesticated sheep would, which can to them looking like this:

This is Shrek, yes, that is actually his name, notice how you can’t see his legs or face? That’s not good. He is a sheep who escaped his field and went wandering for six years, resulting in a sixty pound fleece. This is actually dangerous because it can cause overheating and if they get on their back the weight stops them from getting up again, they can die from this. PETA really cares about money and attention more than animals.

International politics is never about democracy and human rights. It’s about the interests of states. Remember that, no matter what you are told in history lessons.
