There's no Left, only Neoliberals
DNC ran with Liz Cheney instead of Bernie, unlike Trump the DNC couldn't even be bothered to lie about stopping the genocide in Gaza and couldn't deliver ANYTHING TANGIBLE TO THE WORKING CLASS EXCEPT EMPTY IDENTITY POLITICS (*Kamala supports raising the minimum wage!! Ok, to fucking what?!?! Fucking when?!?! Will it be stopped by the parliamentarian!?!?)
Sad reality is that the Democrats prefer Donald Trump in the White House as he solves all of their problems. Now they can blame him for Gaza, Ukraine, failed infrastructure, disaster relief without funding, poverty, destroyed middle class, Middle East in flames, etc.......
The system works.

VOTE 3RD PARTY!!!! The reality is that the duopoly is going to win regardless BUT if a massive voter turnout for 3rd parties occurs it could possibly get 5% for official federal government support and more importantly start to break the back of corporate domination of both parties.
Besides, I'm starting to think a second Trump presidency might be in everyone's best interest. If Biden is re-elected everyone gets to go back to brunch and pretend that democracy is ok. A Biden presidency would reward the DNC for being corrupt, breaking all its promises to the Left, kids still in cages, refugees dying at the border, failure on climate, failure on healthcare and continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia.
However, if Trump is re-elected everyone will remember that children are still dying in detention, democracy is under direct threat, the world is burning and at least Trump says he would try to end the war in Ukraine (obviously Trump would nuke Ukraine for a nickel but the fact he even suggested peace is better than the DNC's current pro WW3 stance).
The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way. If the fire is stoked it would re-unite the real Left and remind the Corporate Democrats that breaking every promise has consequences or if we are really lucky, public awareness that the duopoly won't save us and force regular people to understand that they're also in the same boiling pot........
The system works. Let's stop supporting it.

The Democrat's sole purpose is to take energy and resources from the Left. Period. They made that clear with what they did to Bernie Sanders, they would rather Trump than real progress because ultimately the goal is to consolidate money and power into the elites.
With that as a guide, the logical conclusion to our future is eventual climate catastrophe that will be the pretext to fascism. When that happens and we don't have a movement that has been well funded and trained people, they'll round up the political opposition and the new world order will be impossible to fight against (think of the French underground leading up to the Nazi take over).
Therefore, like the Black Panther Party, we need to build a parallel government that ACTUALLY meaningfully delivers material difference for the poor - up to the middle class (people need to know that they aren't expected to be poor forever). Then a commitment from leadership personally to donate all money earned after hitting the average middle class wages to the Panther Party (for lack of a better term that has historical context). The leadership would commit to a broader set of goals (M4A, anti war foreign policy, etc) that are not negotiable to the duopoly. Continue to use the resources to hire doctors, educators, lawyers, security and financial services for Party members and the poor. Also use the resources to buy housing/support business and the very last thing is to support electoral politics in so much as boots on the ground or fund raising from outside of the Party for candidates who have our same stated goals with an explicit understanding that if they end up being traitors we will use our resources to make there lives very uncomfortable (not violence but paid protestors, lawsuits, basically act like a hostile corporation). Anything short of that promotes the false hope that electoral politics can be changed to help the working class. Electoralism's last chance was Bernie Sanders and that failed so the inevitable war is coming and unless we start organizing now or we will all lose when the planet burns.
The system works, let's stop supporting it.

Yeah, you can find stupid people at a Democrat rally as well and neither party serves the people.
The Democrat's sole purpose is to take energy and resources from the Left. Period. They made that clear with what they did to Bernie Sanders, they would rather Trump than real progress because ultimately the goal is to consolidate money and power into the elites.
With that as a guide (let's stop pretending that the DNC hasn't been failing on purpose for 40ish years), the logical conclusion to our future is eventual climate catastrophe that will be the pretext to fascism. When that happens and we don't have a movement (greens) that has been well funded with trained people, they'll round up the political opposition and the new world order will be impossible to fight against (think of the French underground leading up to the Nazi take over but now they have an algorithm that flags the people who are capable of fighting back).
Therefore, I'm starting to think a second Trump presidency might be in everyone's best interest. If Biden is re-elected everyone gets to go back to brunch and pretend that democracy is ok. A Biden presidency would reward the DNC for being corrupt, breaking all its promises to the Left, kids still in cages, refugees dying at the border, failure on climate, failure on healthcare and continuing to promote the proxy war against Russia.
However, if Trump is re-elected everyone will remember that children are still dying in detention, democracy is under direct threat, the world is burning and at least Trump says he would try to end the war in Ukraine (obviously Trump would nuke Ukraine for a nickel but the fact he even suggested peace is better than the DNC's current pro WW3 stance).
Also, let's say we drag Biden across the line and now he doesn't have to face re-election does K/K honestly believe he'll go against the donors!?!? Another thing is the fact that if Biden serves a full 8 years it will almost certainly ensure a GOP sweep of all 3 levels of government and this time it won't be a moronic gameshow host but a capable authoritarian who will have unlimited power. I'd rather Trump win and let him grift for another term with divided government than face the prospect of a GOP 2028 campaign after 4 more years of Neoliberal policies under Biden.
The reality is that we can boil the climate frog slow or fast but it's going to fry either way. If the fire is stoked it would re-unite the real Left and remind the Corporate Democrats that breaking every promise has consequences or if we are really lucky, public awareness that the duopoly won't save us and force regular people to understand that they're also in the same boiling pot........
The system works. Let's stop supporting it, vote 3rd party.

I believe that the fallout from all of these tariffs is going to hurt Canadians very badly, regardless of whoever is in government & they are going to be blamed no matter what they did or didn't do. Therefore, I have a massive concern about the Liberals winning by a hair and then getting slaughtered a few years later by the inevitable massive recession that's coming regardless as to who wins or what agreements they make.
As I personally believe the Trump organization is tanking the economy on purpose for a variety of reasons (homeless people don't protest, bankruptcies make for cheap housing BuyBacks that can be turned into rentals, etc). When that happens, nobody is going to remember that PP is a trump wannabe, as PP will just say that he was right and that if you elect him he can make all of their problems instantly disappear.
You have to remember that most people are borderline mentally challenged and when under duress they will believe any snake oil salesman who promises a better tomorrow, regardless of the obvious faults in their logic. That's why PP needs to win a minority government, if he does, then he has to work with the NDP which more or less guarantees that he can't do anything crazy and PP will own the inevitable recession. This will inevitably give enough room to the Liberals so that they can credibly say things have changed and Carney can come back with standard neoliberalism, Rather than PP's hyper neoconservatism that sells out the larger Canadian economy, all for oil and resource extraction.
I can't stress this enough, if Carney wins and eeks out a 3 or 4-year government, he is going to own the inevitable massive decline in the standard of living of Canadians. When that happens, all of the sad, stupid desperate people who watch the world's most concentrated media of billionaires in the world. Will eventually elect PP in a electoral super majority that allows him to ram through every single possible horrific, conservative wet fever dream, I'm talking destroying all of the CBC, bring back the death penalty for fentanyl dealers, life sentences for drug offenses, DOGE'ing the federal government, a complete militarization of the Canadian Army where we buy f-35s that don't actually work to the tune of trillions, dissolution of the FPCC (Farm Products Council of Canada) and the further erosion of our farming communities, 100's of billions of oil infrastructure investment for a single province and a Doug Ford style privatization of Canada's healthcare to "take pressure off healthcare" by allowing the wealthy to skip the line as the rest of our wait times increase as a result & our quality of care declines because when rich people aren't forced to use the same system as the rest of us, they will defund it accordingly, etc.....
The sad reality is Canadians have to be forced to deal with PP's charm offensive on a nightly basis for at least a couple years in order for Canadians to understand what they're buying before he gets a majority government which will 110% f**** happen. If Carney wins he has to wear the the inevitable recession that Trump has planned for the world & PP will eventually be able to tear up any agreement Carney made & sell out Canadian workers to the American Corporations like they did for NAFTA.
That's why I'm telling everyone I know to vote their conscience, that means Greens, NDP and god help us all, the PPC.
Anything short of that? And they're going to make Cruella Deville Milhouse into Thanos and I'm really not okay with that. Unfortunately, PP is like an STD, it's going to sting for awhile doing our business but it will run its course & we can get back to the usual slow decent into Neoliberalism's boarded up main Street hellscape rather than PP hoisting a 51st flag over Parliament. Not a great choice BUT definitely one with real consequences we need to consider.
The system works.

The DNC is controlled opposition, who are actively planning against the interests of working people, it's not that the DNC made a mistake or are misunderstanding when it comes to strategy or goals. Their SOLE purpose is to block the Left, reward the donors, while avoiding accountability. FULL STOP. PERIOD.
Using that as a framework, did the DNC actually lose 2024? Bernie's movement is dead, ALL the DNC leaders kept their positions, ALL the DNC donors got deregulation & massive tax breaks, DNC gets to shift blame for Gaza/Ukraine (while still managing to help murder 100's of thousands of innocent people) on the Left, collapsing infrastructure & inflation on Trump and BEST OF ALL, after 4 more years of Trump terrorizing normies, they will be begging for the next warhawk corporate DNC candidate. "Liz Cheney for President 2028!?!?!"
So! If the DNC'S REAL agenda was actually to block progress, reward donors & consolidate power, was the last 50 year's of Neoliberal destruction of the middle class a failure or a massive success for the DNC's "good billionaire's?!?!"
Clearly we've entered the Weimar Republic 2.0, as the Democrats will acquiesce to any of Trump's most depraved horrors to safeguard their privilege and wealth. Sound familiar!?!?
The system works.
