TRUMP: "We have an interesting deal with Japan, that we have to protect them, but they don't have to protect us.... who makes these deals?" The United States! After we literally wrote in a pacifist clause into the Japanese Constitution and neutered their military!

This is absolutely insane, must-watch clip. Boris Sanchez confronts DSA's top leader, Ashik Siddique, over the organization's lauding of Cuba, telling the story of his anti-Batista grandfather later being imprisoned by Castro. Siddique is so shaken he can't form a response.

It is genuinely astonishing that Kat Abughazeleh, a leftist outsider candidate, is able to better communicate US-Taiwan policy (she cites the Shanghai Communique, TRA, etc. here) than AOC, who is a literal member of Congress. Listen to this clip and compare to AOC at Munich.

You and a bunch of other privileged westerners flew to party, stay in a five star hotel, and support the dictatorship in Cuba, where the average person makes 50 cents a day and doesn't have even basic civil liberties. That's not a narrative, that's literally what happened.
