    Anything to avoid looking inwards…

    I suspect that the democrat’s goal for the next election is to draw up the ire for Trump so that they don’t have to change thier donor-friendly rightist platform but still win the election and my inner pessimist says it’s going to work.

      Probably will. Let’s be honest, we know Trump isn’t going to fix any actual problems and will in fact make them all worse.

      I just hope we can build some sort of leftist movement in that time to explain to people why we can’t just ping pong between these two parties when the current one in power doesn’t fix your problems, because neither will. To fix people’s super short memories.

        i wish i shared your optimism.

        my new found media literacy is making it clear that all legacy and social media (including .world & .ee) are (hopefully) unaware that they’re pushing propaganda so it’s going to require a culture paradigm shift and that usually takes generations.

      I do think the only reason Biden won was that Trump was such a legendary fuckup, the idea of a return to the status quo seemed appealing by comparison.
