The bit where no one could remember Tim Kaine’s name was solid though

Tbf if you have any sort of financial comfort in burgerland you don’t WANT to have to see the truth. Bill Maher just gave them permission to look away

Definitely proved that we are part of a social organism and not actually rugged individuals on an island

And all the libs are skeptical of this for the opposite reason, I saw it on FB and all the comments were about how this was just Republicans in swing states trying to flip California

Unfortunately not, because that one district in Nebraska would have to go red for that to work and it’s been moving into solid blue territory for a while. Harris might win by exactly one electoral vote though, which would be less funny “ha ha” and more “acceleration into the cool zone”

It might have been more about getting turnout for the guy running against Ted Cruz, who’s really underperforming in the polls rn. And even though the other guy is definitely a neoliberal ghoul, I hope he wins. Because fuck Ted Cruz

No, Kamala needs to win PA, along with WI and MI, or she loses (unless there’s some weird polling error in Georgia and Arizona where those states are actually more favorable to her). Trump only has to win PA or WI or MI and he probably wins. She has to get lucky three times, he only has to get lucky once.

BUT if there is a polling error of some kind, it’s widely systemic and national. So there’s a chance of a Trump sweep and a chance of a Harris sweep where everything from MI to AZ on this list goes to one candidate or the other. So don’t worry about the polls, just get out there and VOTE for Claudia de la Cruz

It’s her turn!

But I can’t even buy campaign ads in Cuba? How can you call that democracy?

You’re assuming this is designed to represent the will of the people. No, it’s designed to give the ruling class a veneer of legitimacy

They’re famous for being ruthlessly oppressive. It wouldn’t work in the long run, obviously, but from the US’s perspective, it’s good because Israel isn’t the one getting the bad press

Isn’t the US, the UAE and Saudi Arabia openly planning to install a Palestinian emirate loyal to the west? That’s their idea of a “Palestinian state” and yeah no shit the left is opposed to that

There’s a concept of an argument similar to the French “clothespin” election a decade ago, where the left argued voters should put pinch their nose with a clothespin (figuratively) and vote for the conservative candidate in order to prevent a win by fascist Le Pen. Of course, the difference is that in the French system multiple parties have a (relatively) fair shake in the first round of voting, so applying this logic to the US just means you will be voting for Democrats, forever, no matter what else happens or how genocidal the Democrats get.

Agreed. No one has to vote, but refusing to vote has never been an effective strategy for dissent. Ideally, vote PSL. But honestly I don’t give a fuck of you hand it to your toddler with a crayon and have them pick. It’s the organizing that really counts

Trump wants to turn the colonial violence inward, Harris wants it more external to the core in order to placate the Metropole. From a purely selfish standpoint, it makes sense. But it shows a complete lack of solidarity and consciousness

lol no

The Shitlib International

This makes sense and is very self-aware, it reminds me of Camus trying to reconcile his anti colonialism with the fact that his mother lived in Algeria. Material conditions, folks, they’ll fuck you up!

He’s a good resource for deep dives into modern fascist movements. Just don’t listen to anything he has to say about AES or current socialist/resistance movements
