Political Memes

Get money out of politics.

It's not some eldritch knowledge.

If they win but give up all their values, did they really win? Democrats aren't on your side. They are just slidely less evil

He lost them with "don't take corpo checks"

Hakeem should step down as minority leader and join the fascist regime with the human moldy tangerine.

I would argue that Mamdani, AOC, Sanders, and any others who follow that same path are all parts of a different party that is simply forced to run on the Democrat ballot. Meanwhile the true Democrats and Republicans are two wings of the same Corprocrat party who is there to progress the interests of corporations and the only divide is on what to do with the 'remaining' population.

It's the billionaires that are pulling them to the right... The money... The greed... The power

As an outsider i think if the democratic party was functional Trump would never have gotten into the white house. Not blaming them (who am I to blame them anyway), but if one of the two parties in a two-party system was much more functional than the the other, it could quite easily convince a majority to not vote for the lunatic that is the other option. Feel free to downvote me, but the US imo has 2 shipwrecks 'leading' the country.

most of them wouldnt be electable if they were republicans anyways, thats why they have to be wolf in sheeps clothing. and AIPAC, the donors dont want someone too on the left.

The question is, if something will break.

Right now we're dealing with:
~ the war against Iran escalating ( Two blocked straits, ah...ah...ah...);
~the affordability crisis and oil-crisis level inflation. Half the country is going into debt affording rent food and fuel;
~ the corruption and self-dealing in Washington is out in the open
~ people can't survive in their own homes thanks to data centers
~ ICE is killing people and abducting them by the thousands, and ignoring due process
~ Private prisons are torturing people by the tens of thousands, including kids and pregnant mothers

I'm sure I'm missing some, but for the moment all this isn't enough to stop at least half the US from wanting to own the libs and keep trans folk out of women's sports. We haven't suffered enough to hand the Democrats the Senate yet, which means Social Security is going to die, and the Trump administration will be able to push through SCOTUS justices.

This might be because MAGA has a technological advantage. FOX News has gotten really good at propaganda, so its (massive) viewership is continuously stoked with rage and fear, is pumped with MAGA ideology and is encouraged to stop watching all other media. The right-wing propaganda machine makes sure that every white male has to vote red to reaffirm their masculinity.

And then the ultra-wealthy are vastly richer than any other point in history. After they bleed the US to collapse, they will have the capacity go on to do the same with the rest of the industrialized world. The EU has already been weakened by decades of neoliberal policymaking and now has strong far-right factions. And those same billionaires are consumed by greed, vindictiveness and disgust with the entire working class.

So yeah, we're going to have to get really lucky for the US not to collapse. The German Reich ran out of credit and was driven to get expansionist and annex other lands. The US is already lusting over Canada and Greenland, so it shouldn't be surprising if the devaluation of the petrodollar leads to US military adventurism. And then our fighting force and oil reserves are already depleted.

So... Chinese bombers blotting out the sun over Washington.
