Chicago Police and the FBI are investigating if saboteurs placed bugs in a breakfast buffet prepared for delegates at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.
“Multiple unknown female offenders are alleged to have entered a building…and began placing unknown objects onto tables containing food,” the convention’s information center said in a statement. “The offenders are believed to have then left the area. One victim was treated and released on-scene. Along with CPD, FBI-Chicago is assisting in the investigation.”
Good question! Because of:
And because Palestine is the main focus of DNC protests right now, i.e. the big thing that the DNC is choosing to ignore.
Frankly, if it ends up being a Republican or non-political attack, I’m still cool with seeing the ruling class squirm even if it’s done by assholes for the wrong reasons.
But also, even if it has absolutely nothing to do with Palestine, that is far from the only reason to be irritated with the Democrats. For example:
And so much more! All while pretending to be the party of progress, they are in fact the party whose sole goal is to prevent more radical change being imposed on the ruling class from below!
What exactly do you expect this to change?
This exact action? It might make things worse for leftists on the ground at the DNC since now the FBI is involved 😳.
So honestly good point, but IMO reflecting an infinitesimally small fraction of the violence that they inflict upon Palestine (and all life on Earth) forces the ruling class to deal with actual consequences for their actions.
Without any kind of message this is just revenge
More like buggery.
Quoting my reply to someone else:
Or:
Emphasis on the second clause.
The problem is that without attaching an actual message to the action, it’s just an attack. It doesn’t convey anything, doesn’t further any agenda.
Agreed.
Hence why I’m expressing my schadenfreude that it happened at all, rather than saying “yeah this is a perfect protest by perfect people who are definitely 100% confirmed doing this for perfect reasons that I perfectly agree with”.
In fact, I said as much in the comment you replied to:
I’m not operating under the pretense that it is necessarily revolutionary action. I’m simply expressing my frustration at Democrat ghouls and laughing at their misery because they give us nothing else in return for our submission.
Completely agree. It was really frustrating to hear Bernie evoke FDR in his speech without being honest about how he accomplished so much: by packing the courts and being extremely aggressive in pushing through a real progressive agenda. It really highlights the failings of the party more than anything.
