If this election was held in 2023, you have to wonder if the outcome would have been wildly different.
For once, an encouraging sign for sanity and common sense.
Yeah, that's what we all thought when Biden won.
I called the 2024 election when Biden won in 2020. He was a shitty corporate centrist candidate who was never going to address our deep structural inequality, and so frustrated uneducated people voted for change in 2024. Obama won 2008 because people wanted "Change". Trump won 2016 to drain the swamp. We're all so sick of this crony corporate bullshit.
Socialists or we lose. It should've been obvious all along that the "centrists" and "Libertarians" are just embarrassed Republicans. America has been sick and tired of corporations overtly ruling for decades and moderates don't want to own that.
Voters weren't scared of a dictatorship on day one by a guy quoting Hitler. And at this point, they aren't scared of socialism, not anymore. The only way we win elections is by supporting candidates who are actually good. Even if a moderate wins this election, they'll lose us the next election and the good half will be undone. We can only discount the value of the next election iff our candidate will address our broken elections.
TL;DR: Socialists or we lose.
The crazy thing is that nothing will change unless someone takes control to stop the corporate-controlled stalemate that runs our society. The far right is awful, and the fact that they are the only ones capable of getting it done is probably the most terrifying notion this country has experienced in my lifetime. It's just going to be splitting all the wealth with another group of nerdy billionaire assholes and making a worse gov. I just want to wake up and realize it's a nightmare.
