Yeah I saw this youbtube video. She definitely didn’t like the idea but kept her mouth shut. This was a project Luke Beasley was doing with them and the husband was too toxic off camera for them to continue the project.

More importantly, does Frodo denounce Hasan Piker?

It just isn’t the politician themselves. El-Sayed is a winner because of his platform, and he isn’t bought off by AIPAC and the corporate establishment.

Indeed, those additional attributes were critical in the primary, in general elections, however, most people only have a shallow understanding of policy platforms if any. In general elections most people vote based on party affiliation, name recognition and vibes.

What most people don’t understand about the 2024 election is that Harris was the only one who could have legally taken over the ticket without resetting the funding to 0 dollars. Harris was also hamstrung by the Biden team who insisted that she not deviate from Biden’s policies in any way.

Women have it tough in politics, AOC makes it seem easy, but it’s not easy by any stretch.

Ghoul is already worn out and overused.

Hillary Clinton is a great woman who has done a lot of good in this world, but matured into and mastered a political landscape that underwent massive change as she ran for president. So all the things she had to do to overcome the still ingrained sexism in our political system, like appearing tough by being somewhat hawkish and not taking big swings because you could be accused of being emotional, etc…, — just didn’t work anymore. If she could have just let her guard down and dropped the politician speak and dumped the political consultants I think she would have beaten Trump. And if she had been able to get a majority in the Congress I’m convinced she would have signed Medicare For All into law. She just wasn’t convinced she could spend her own political capital to push for it and be successful.

For decades, people became more and more disenchanted with politicians because of their ever calculating, triangulating speech which comes off as manipulative and inauthentic. And then when a rich opinionated idiot with no filter came along many people conflated his audacity and loutish behavior with authenticity.

A growing number of voters are becoming more sophisticated and the old ways don’t cut it anymore. The El Sayed win is a great example of this. In order to win today you need to demonstrate authenticity, expertise and enthusiasm. Clinton had the expertise and the enthusiasm, but she always came off as cold, even though she’s a lovely person. It’s interesting that Bill seems more authentic and approachable, but he’s the real bastard in that couple.

Delusional Don doesn’t get that.

OK, tell me what bad thing happened as a result of this particular case of CIA funding.

If your goal is to work within the system to make the system fairer for women, then it’s not necessarily dirty. It’s money from the very system you’re trying to change.

I would never give a CIA asset the benefit of the doubt.

We have(or had prior to Trump) CIA assets in Russia.

The point is, things are often more complex than we first understand and sweeping generalizations are rarely accurate.

you people

Winning friends and influencing people.

It’s the biggest hummingbird bath I’ve ever seen.

She also kept the feminists from actually talking about things like the class struggle.

This is more a critique of Liberal Feminism over Socialist/Radical Feminism. She has always promoted a version of feminism that seeks to work within the existing capitalist system rather than trying to overthrow it.

The goal of this movement is to achieve equality for women through legal reform, policy changes, and social integration.

Edit: Added quote for clarity

I’m always going to choose harm reduction. If the CIA wants to help me with that, I’ll take their money.

I’m not surprised. I was one of their first customers and they ended up being a client of mine. I had to fire them because they are so cheap and didn’t want to pay the market rate for consulting services. They were so backward because of this mindset that the administrative staff at HQ ended up being tiny and overworked. Even the founders worked all the time because they didn’t want to hire people to do the work and they didn’t want to hire people to upgrade their processes to make them more efficient.

They were still using faxes to communicate with their locations. This was in 2006 and things may have changed but the founders were all a bunch of people who weren’t terribly bright, but hard workers. In the beginning their burgers and fries were the best.

Maybe I replied to that a few minutes ago.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, before she became a leading figure in the feminist movement, Steinem worked for an organization called the Independent Service for Information (ISI). It was later revealed that the ISI was funded by the CIA.

During the Cold War, the CIA engaged in various programs to fund “non-governmental” organizations, student exchanges, and information services to promote Western-aligned perspectives and counter Soviet influence abroad.

She never denied that the organization she worked for received CIA funding. She has been quite open about it in interviews and her writings. Her defense has generally been twofold: She was aware of the funding: She has stated that she knew the money came from the CIA and that the agency’s goal was to promote a specific type of international information exchange. She was not an “agent”: She maintains that she was not a “spy” or a “plant” working to manipulate the feminist movement, but rather a journalist and activist working within a framework that happened to be funded by the agency.

So if you’re in an NGO and the CIA wants to make sure you keep doing what you’re doing, that’s a pretty easy call for the NGO. For example, what if the purpose of your NGO is for family planning and STD prevention. Are you going to turn away CIA funding just because they think what you’re doing will further their goals too?

Turns out she was happy to take CIA money.

Yeah at the time the CIA’s goals aligned with the Independent Service for Information (ISI), where she worked.

During the Cold War, the CIA engaged in various programs to fund “non-governmental” organizations, student exchanges, and information services to promote Western-aligned perspectives and counter Soviet influence abroad.

She never denied this and has always been open about it.

So, if I worked in an organization promoting free speech in, let’s say North Korea and the CIA comes in and provides a bunch of cash to keep us going, I’m not going to be upset about that.

I think he plans to sit in the bunker when he either cancels the 2028 election or when he refuses to leave after a new president is elected.

How long before a prominent Republican says something awful about her?
