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.
If Harris wins, expect Democrats to move right
If it’s a tie? Believe it or not move to the right
I just expect the world to be constantly moving to the right at this point.
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.
It just seems that way from where I’m standing, but I guess I only see the western world.

If she wins, the Dems have been given license to genocide, which is pretty far to the right.
Blaming progressives for Harris’ defeat would be good for a “progressive” voting bloc. The only leverage a voting bloc could ever hope to have is a credible threat to withhold a vote. Usually, those on the US “left” are not perceived as credibky threatening to withhold their vote and they can be safely ignored.
Of course voting is itself limited. If you want to develop political power for the good of humanity you need to do more than think about voting and stay far away from the Democratic Party.
Too bad it’s not gonna matter, since if Trump wins, America will only have elections in the same sense that Russia does.
That would be improvement so no chance lol. If Trump wins America will only have elections in the same sense that America does.
Idk how this shit can be called “democracy” even formally, with how population density, massive gerrymandering, elector college, supreme court, disenfranchisement of vast population groups, swing states and differences in states in general influence it. And probably like a million little details i don’t even know, every time i learn a new fact about US “democracy”, any fact, it just point out a new argument why it isn’t a democracy at all.
How much you wanna bet?
