Ossoff: "Just think, 250 years on, what the Founders would see if they visited us today. *crowd groans* But wait -- they would see that slavery had been abolished. They would see that Americans without land, and then women, and then the descendants of slaves had secured voting rights ... "

If only what he was saying were true 1) slavery still exists in US prisons, US companies can legally hire foreign slaves, and US military campaigns since WW2 have overwhelmingly been pro-slavery (see fucking Libya lately?)

2) the Soviets were the principle force in defeating the Nazis, and at the conclusion of WW2 the Americans adopted the Nazi campaign against communism, which is more accurately characterised as a campaign against democracy (The Cold War was spent overthrowing democracies the upset US company profit)

I don’t really think they can say they defeated communism either. Cuba is still standing despite dozens of US assassination attempts on Castro, and crippling economic sanctions, yet its people have a better education and healthcare access than the capitalist US.

In 13th century Britain, only titled people could have land if granted by the King. The peasant does not own his home; he may not even own his tools. If you're going to Venn diagram history, at least get the history correct.

In England, it meant owing favours and fealty and the risk of losing one's holdings or title. Common people, the peasantry, did not own land. One of the 'liberties' promoted by British colonists promoting independence in the 1700s was the right to own and lease property without crown sanction.

Jeez Americans are the most propagandised people in the world, and this is a great example of it. Firstly the Soviets were the primary force that defeated the Nazis, and the Americans ADOPTED THE NAZI CANPAIGN against communism at the conclusion of WW2.

Second, slavery abolished? Not in American prisons where prisoner labour is sold to American companies. The prison industrial complex in the USA is incredibly racist. It imprisons more people, per capita, than any other society in human history. This isn’t abolishing slavery, it’s rebranding it.

He's got his federal history wrong. The 15th Amendment (1870) enfranchised black men and previously enslaved men. It took another 50 years of fighting before women were enfranchised by the 19th Amendment (1920).

They would also see an orange criminal and his billionaire suckers doing their best every day to reverse all the process made, while the corporate media FAILS to inform the citizens.

… & then they would join trump to help make america great again because what he wants for us is way more closely aligned with what they wanted. The raping kids would just be an added bonus.

Apparently they'd be pissed we aren't all farmers... And that bankers own everything... Not to mention that we let fringe religious nuts take over everything and that the federal government controls it all. Oh they'd probably be pissed about the king we have now.

Beautifully articulated by Rep. Jon Ossoff: what a great and positive USA 🇺🇸 PERSPECTIVE & ABSOLUTE REFRESHING THINKING AND SUPER FUTURE VISION! Vote Jon : to the US Senate for GEORGIA 🇬🇪 for a better tomorrow!🗳️⚖️🗽🙋🏼🙋🏼‍♂️🙋‍♀️🇺🇸🇺🇦✝️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🔔💙📣

I kind of hate this wishcasting/whitewashing of the Founders, because if they saw our system today they'd start another Revolution to topple it. We should be IMMENSELY proud of the inclusiveness we've achieved while understanding the Founders only ever intended white, rich landowners to vote.

Can you hear me above the noise of confusion? I have the $71 Trillion Truth that reveals how trillions were backdoored illegally to The Epstein Class. They orchestrated a hostile takeover using a lying RICO Pedo Pig Stupid Whisperer to do it. This is a Revolution of Truth. youtu.be/7AyG1PBzQrU?...

slavery has been rebranded as "three minor strikes and life imprisonment" largest prison population on Earth 4.5x as many people in prison, per capita, than China 70% of people in prison are black now there are concentration and torture camps as well

Those 13 colonies nearly exterminated the native americans on their way to becoming that wonderful nazi-beating nation. Nazis that admired & modeled their genocide after our extermination of native americans. Will native americans ever become included in national politics? Who will be their ally?

Thank you for posting these images — each provides a truth that is uncomfortable for the well-heeled upper class.

Until the patriarchy is defeated….you just need to persuade the majority of women who still want to be subservient to men. We know men are bad. But women, do better

"abolished" is a bit generous but otherwise he's absolutely right. This country has strayed very far from the idyllic form it was intended to be, and it isn't impossible to guide it back towards that imagined state...we just need to be clear eyed at how difficult it will invariably be.

Watching all the documentaries on America's history, you see Al Gore and Hilary Clinton over and over again. It's just a shame that real students of and patriots to our history and story didn't get to lead.

Actually they'd see the country that joined WWII last—only after it was attacked—because prior to that the USA was war profiteering on *both* sides of the war. Look up a guy you may have heard of, Henry Ford. Your founders would be disgusted with you, and Trump would be the least of the reasons.

Slavery has been abolished? That'll be news to a bunch of people who have no choice but to work the fields every day for no pay while white men with guns stand over them on horseback. Lofty ideal. Not yet realized in 2026.

For some reason. I am blocked from answering the post below. Here is my answer: THEY CERTAINLY WOULD NEVER WANT SOMEONE TO EXPOSE WHAT THEY WERE REALLY DOING, LYING WHILE THEY KEPT POWER FOR THEMSELVES. That is what Trump has exposed. Ironically, we should thank him.

MOST OF THESE LIKES ARE REAL PEOPLE. TRUMP WAS ALWAYS A DISPOSABLE, TO PREPARE THE WORLD FOR THIEL'S BOY. WE IN NEW ZEALAND ARE APPALLED. #NZPol bsky.app/profile/tala...

20 January 2025. Trump signing an order he is given to sign. His comment shows: he has no clue about it. Did not ask for it. Hasn't read it. Doesn't read it. 30 Jan 2025: 1st US commercial plane crash in 16 years. Trump IS NOT PRESIDENT- ELECTIONS RIGGED. HE'S NOT GOVERNING. He's told what to do.

Except we're not going to get big enough margins to amend the Constitution anytime soon so instead of wasting energy whining about EC, we need to work everyday to flip as many states, governors, legislatures, AGs & Congressional seats as possible to stop Republican efforts to steal elections

Lmao! TBH, they'd probably think a microwave was magic But I'm thinking they'd be more impressed by things like indoor plumbing & flush toilets, electric lights at the flip of a switch, & air conditioning...the basic creature comforts we take for granted that they've likely never seen

I am loving the audience participation in Ossoff’s speeches: cleverly staged as theater-in-the-round, pauses for interjections and jeers, all while delivering weighty content. The catharsis of rallies—wrestlemania adjacent with enemies to boo and heroes to cheer—against the rally despot.

I’m impressed with this too. I just wish I felt like there was any truth to the things he’s saying regarding slavery and defeating Nazis etc The USA didn’t and hasn’t.

I know Blue Sky lean left, but I'd love it if someone on the right could comment on this and let us know if they think it's wrong and why. This just feels like a truth that any person who was truly independent, knowledgeable and fair would have to acknowledge.
