    Really the only difference between the two factions of the US one-party state, is that one is honest about their belief that a few capitalists should own the country and everyone else can starve, and the other is better at PR. Both Obama and Biden’s cabinet were hand-picked by citibank for example, and both parties staunchly support genocide, even though the democrats occasionally try to pander to the left on it.

    This is why I feel we need the republicans to fail so badley they become irrelevant. We need to make it clear that extreme right ideology is a death sentence to a party.

      We don’t need to wait for Republicans to not exist to get representation in government. With state level electoral reform, people would ve be free to vote for those who best represent their interests secure in the knowledge their vote would still be counted against those they don’t want in office.

    Biden won by running more left than he was. Even if you think entire public is behind diminishing Russia and China, just because there’s a bipartisan consensus for it, the economic damage caused by Ukraine war and lying about the causes of the economic damage is a certain weight on DNC. The pure demonic evil of neocon empire, but no one talking about it, still finds its way into brainless voters’ bones.

    Winner will be based on turnout. Enthusiasm and hope gets missed when DNC feels like a fundraising organization that got its dream opponent, and still failed to run away with the election. The “more right” solution is just certain collapse of US and any faith in democracy or zionist media that genuinely favours the most zionist candidate, when genocide is so easily at reach.

          At some point you just aren’t voting for people who don’t represent you and your beliefs, which is kind of what democracy is all about.

            And so the candidates who are even further away from your beliefs win and decide the circumstances of your life. Democracy rewards those who cast a vote, for the winning candidate, with a say in their representation.

            Someone will represent you, faithfully or not, come inauguration. You can either mitigate the inevitable damage by voting for the capitalist stooge who believes in human rights, or you can live with the capitalist stooge who wants to be a fascist dictator and has the support of an entire political party, several billionaires, and foreign dictators.

            So long as our democracy is propped up on FPTP elections, voting lesser evil isactually kind of what it’s all about.

              At some point we need to admit that harm reduction still means harm. At the very least, we shouldn’t berate people for looking for alternatives when the options presented would both cause unnecessary damage.

                We admit that the whole time, that’s why we use the term “harm reduction” When one option would cause substantially more damage than the other, we should absolutely berate people for pushing totally ineffective alternatives that accomplish little other than increasing the probability of the worse option.

                My heart goes out to those who want a no-evil option, believe me I’m one of them. But at some point we need to admit the alternative to lesser evil is greater evil.

        There’s a new pink tide struggling to be born in Latin America right now and China continues its meteoric rise as not only a superpower, but possibly dethroning US hegemony. In addition, the Axis of resistance remains defiant against the settler-colonial entity known as Israel.

        It’s not all bad.

    Harris is running as a moderate Republican.

    Liz Cheney gets to speak at her events, Muslim Democrats get escorted out by security and threatened with arrest.

      You appear to blatantly not know the difference between democrats and republicans in my country. You’d be wise to sit this topic out in the future.

        I’m from Iowa.

        The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats will merely watch while Republicans kill me.
