My fear is that, in the event that we get a fair 2028 election, Gavin Newsom will be pioneered as the golden child, as Joe Biden was in 2020 – drowning out the actual Leftist voices. Then those progressives are pressured to drop out because this election is sooo important. Cue a Newsom presidency where we get 4 years of macro-economic recovery while the common folk suffer, and then the cycle repeats.

I agree with you. He’s 100% rallying up a presidential bid, and what worries me most is I see other liberals idolizing him, reposting his tweets at Trump, praising him as able to destroy Trump… Who knows if we’ll even have an election, but Newsom’s sure poising himself to waltz right in.

People need to stop posting Newsom tweets, and instead post content like this that frames Newsom as the corporate shill he is. Newsom is crushing homeless encampments, Newsom created the “CARE” courts that stripped autonomy from the mentally ill, Newsom is attacking transgender youth; and Newsom is going to continue doing all of this, harder, to poise himself as a “middle ground” between rational people and fascists – instead of upholding his responsibility to protect California residents.

UK moment. If this was a Muslim group, they would have been hauled off for “terrorism” well before the story hit the press.

Ukraine’s victory was enabled in large part by the financial support of the United States, which for most of the war, was run by the Democrats. As much as I’d like it, a “gangbang” of the USA is also impractical, given that the USA has many nuclear weapons, both in the country, and abroad. The USA also has military bases across the world.

The USA and one of China/Russia alone could destroy the world. The USA already ravaged Latin and South America, and the Middle East; and the combined military-industry power of either pair would easily be able to occupy most other nations simultaneously. Britain, Hungary, Israel and Germany are just along for the ride. Those four are as meaningless in the international scene as every other nation that may stand against the Fascists. USA/China/Russia are the three powerhouses.

This is Russia and China’s cold war, won. They convinced the United States to join them in international terrorism, and no one ever came close to the power of that trifecta. The United Nations has no army. The European Union’s Defense Forces is the closest thing the free world has to a resistance. I’m typing this but only partially registering how fucked we are. The USA, for all it’s horrible acts, had the “defender of democracy” title for a reason – because the Free World depended on the perception that the USA would go to war to stop China and Russia attempting world domination. As faith in the USA drops, and these fascist alliances grow, I see no reason to believe there’s ever going to be a comeback. If anything, I foresee more nations embracing the USA-China-Russia team to preserve some of their existence – not that it’s excusable.

We had the internet. We had free travel. We were making strides in medicine and technology. And How did we lose? Because corporations run the USA, and the USA ran the Free World. Corpos would kill 7 billion people if they had reason to believe the reward of profit outweighed the risk of financial hardship. Fascism is the natural evolution of a corporate state.

USAmerica wanted a President that ran the country like a business; and we got what we asked for. Promises made; Promises kept.

Do not let Google escape this, ever. Cancel all payments to them. YouTube Premium, YouTube subscriptions, etc.

what’s that? Nintendo’s supporting the Department of Homeland Security? I’m enraged. These woke devs putting politics in our games! I’m never buying another Nintendo product again! (If enough of us say it, maybe we can pressure Nintendo to sue?)

I’m genuinely unsure whether having Vance or Trump as president would be worse. I’m not sure whether Trump’s incompetency is saving or dooming us more.
