I went in without hope for the election and I am actually upset that the Republicans look like they'll hold all three branches of government fully. That's not something I had considered since I'm used to some kind of division inside congress. They can do real freak shit with the whole of the Federal government if they can all get in line. Moderately big if since there are factional divides in the party but still there are valid things to be worried about if in the grand scheme of things the empire will continue on unimpeded.

Anyway, the material conditions drive the world and they will mold and influence you as well. It's important to build and structure your life in a way that can support your how you want to grow. Basically try to join an organization even if it's a glorified book club and you might meet good people and restore some of your faith in humanity and also deprogram your liberalism.

He does have a big ego and I'd enjoy seeing it crushed by Trump just barely beating him.

Ultimately the fault lies in Harris and democratic leadership who were in charge of the campaign. Harris got like 10 million fewer votes than Biden and you can't blame that on any one group. They made the conscious decisions that led them to have only a few million more votes than Hillary got almost a decade ago.

If someone is hell bent on a certain race/ethnicity let them know it can't purely be black or Latino voters fault if this is a majority white country. Are these people going to vote scold white people for sitting out or voting wrong? Democrats seem to lash out against their supposed allies more than the apathetic whites. They just write off the disengaged and target the apparently 20% of African American men that voted for Trump this time. Most of them still voted for Harris and if they went against voting for a black Democrat then she had to have a terrible campaign since that is one of the most loyal voting blocks in the United States.

Also, important to remember that Hispanics/Latinos aren't a coherent group within the United States. Some are fifth generation jet ski dealers that don't know Spanish and some are recent citizens who work as day laborers and need their ballot to be in Spanish. There's too much variety to tie them together like can be done with other groups.

That unfortunately can't be successful without major country wide electoral reform to remove first past the post style voting. I could only really see that happening if the capitalists think that they need to destroy the current two party system to get better control of worsening conditions. Basically asking the masses to calm down and they can vote some greens and libertarians into power as a treat.

Also worth noting that the Greens (despite their poor performance) appear to have done better than the Libertarians, which I don't think has ever happened. They did better than RFK as well. So at least there's that.

Based on the ramblings of my brother and a kind of dumb coworker, rfk was probably a spoiler for the libertarians. The dumb non Trump voters just couldn't get behind a candidate and the greens got to show them up.

This must be a fix and this is unprecedented

Blueanon is real, and it's going to get worse and more annoying.

I'm imagining a guy starting a union of himself to collectively bargain with his wife for more sex and less nagging.

Europe doesn't have the ability to go it's own way. Without energy sovereignty, which was denied to them with the ukraine war and the Nordstrom bombings, and with neoliberal austerity they won't be able prevent deindustrialization. The world is still addicted to dollar denominated debt so I don't see a way out for anyone else either. Also, China unfortunately just sits there keeping to themselves so they won't be build a robust alternative to the US for a good while. Those are all short term outlooks though. I'd like to be proven wrong though.

Just looking at it we can clearly see it was riding higher than usual during covid and then quickly dropped down lower than it was before covid. People will feel that and understand that Biden was president for that entire reversal. It's not even a complicated argument. You literally only have the one graph.

Looks like it's reactionary fascism instead of neoliberal fascism this time around. Generally in Europe they seem to favor business as usual neoliberal fascism right now but the Americans just have to be different.

The only thing in that list that changes if Kamala won is that Elon would be sad. There's only limited changes to the nature and shape of the evil of this empire between which demon gets elected.

They are a party of losers completely disconnected from reality.
