People do still trust the doomed to fail establishment dems though. No pushback on annointing kamala on bad faith arguments that 4 months was not enough time. Not a single challenger.

No challenge for senate leadership, none for house as new leader was handpicked by old.

The party is broken. On the prez no one would cross the establishment, afraid of bad faith bigotry allegations of stepping over the first minority woman, nevermind she was unpopular across the board, never breaching 30 pc approval, offered no real reform, attacked no one s rewing us.

I am done trying to help these people. I want to help real leaders that can win.

Americans only like what is going on because they have been misled to blame the wrong people for our decline. They trust the wrong people, we all do to different degrees, the sheep of the dem party especially.

If a strong reformer faction ran a true populist campaign, channeling anger towards it’s actual source, half of those people would join us. They want to attack the people screwing us. Without strong populist opposition to this plutocracy they will continue to be misguided.

That does not hold for evangelicals and some of the religious right perhaps they are fucked in the head and want to see the earth drown in lakes of blood and fire for the rapture.

Call it what you want, the only way to improve our lot is to organize and work cooperatively on what we agree on, and that would be opposed by the state, and the oligarchs that control the state, and we would have to defend ourselves in our rights to exercise our constitutionally protected freedoms as we are allowed to by law. As the unions did when the corrupt power of the state at the behest of the bosses tried to crush their organization.

A revolution without any organization would just be an animal farm situation where the new boss would be like the old boss. And we should not want a revolution but rather a restoration. The system is generally good, the system is Dishonored and ignored.

We already knew continually selling the party as we are better than the other guys while constantly ratcheting to the right was not enough to win elections.

The right is offering Solutions and we know the voters do not know any better. We are not, that we is everybody not supporting the right wing.

It is not a new phenomena that voters have been seduced to the dark side and led into alternate realities. Not just the right wing either. The Democratic sheep are just as responsible for what is happening due to my effort mentioned arguments.

They knew what we were facing and they refused to change. Now the political monster they declined to stop will destroy them, if Democrats were stealing elections for decades systematically, they would have to be punished.

Any assurances they have gotten from Republican power Brokers that that is just performative mean nothing.

I predict indictments will come down this time of the year in 2027 on the Democrats for bogus election rigging charges.

Until around the Civil War the Bill of Rights only applied to States and not the federal government. It was not an issue before that because the federal government was not up in everybody’s business either. They are only authorized to regulate interstate commerce in the us, and forbidden from inhibiting the free movements of people and goods in between the states.

People are mad and know they are being screwed if not by whom. The right is misdirecting their anger, while the Democrats do not even try to direct it playing the currents the right set.

With real leadership, it would make public opinion. It would Channel the anger towards its actual sources.

By allowing these Democrats to be the opposition we have surrendered the field and waste our efforts on doomed strategies.

People want reform, if we do not give it to them, the right will.

That is exactly what we need. I live in Deep Red country and I can tell you most people agree on the problems Society faces. We have just been led into different causes and solutions to those problems. With people cooperating on what they agree on, the divisive culture War politics would hardly register with the majority.

First and foremost, people want to be able to make enough money to live a dignified life, and do not support allowing the rich to steal their lunch. They also will support equal rights by and large in an honest accounting of the problem.

We really need such a sort of citizens Union like we are speaking of sort of here, but also a Consumers Union to cooperate on the goods we are sold, and more than anything we need a sort of investors Union, where people can’t pull their money to create companies that are not run solely on the profit motive in areas where the private sector is unwilling and unable to provide for society’s needs. Investors could be offered a fair rate of return while still working towards other goals as well. Especially like Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare and internet cooperatives, alternative energy, etc.

I would like to see a university where people could invent new things while learning in conjunction with others where they could get a share of any innovations that resulted from it being developed by one of these benefit corps. on the investors union.

Instead of throwing obscene amounts of money down the drain to these bloated corrupted educational institutions, that money could be used to actually do things.

It is a little late in the game for all of these aspirational goals but it will never be easier than it is now despite 20 years ago being the right time for these.

Have no fear, organizing to oppose the establishment is quite violent. The labor movement had a lot of fights. From beating the shit out of the police in Minneapolis in the 1920s to the coal miners of Appalachia to the UAW.

That is why I think Sean Fain would be a good presidential candidate. He is willing to fight and honestly.

The puritanical sobriety squad wants to outlaw vaping. But vaping has been the greatest Public Health Triumph since vaccines, getting people off of smoking.

Nicotine is a drug, it has effects, but it is not inherently harmful. Inhaling smoke is.

Now what they put in with the nicotine might not be good for you, especially the flavors.

But it is not killing a half a million people a year just in the US as smoking did. Instead of banning it we should be honestly trying to make it safer.

The FDA is on the side of banning it completely and using the making it safer argument to dishonestly curtail the entire industry for these Puritans running articles like this and drug companies looking to monopolize the quit smoking market.

Didn’t the 14th Amendment also bind the federal government to the Bill of Rights at least? One ammendment did anyway but it was implemented oddly by the courts.

Found george orwell’s alt account!

Joking, but with organization we could wrest control from these clowns if we got real strong leadership.

Establishment dems are not up to it even if they could win now and they cannot. We need muscular populists that can build and run a political machine, new leadership across the board.

The judges are owned by the federalist society, groomed and chosen from law school for siding with the party and the half century plans to end the republic in all but name for a one party plutocratic state.

Prez just hijacked the party, and whipped them into line again recently disparraging the very association that put them there.

The in crowd is rightfully worried about getting thrown out of the club. They also probably have some scandals on these judges the society holds to encourage their allegiance.

Much as the fitting historical parrallel, the borgia pope in the 16th century, the one machivelli based his prince on, the spanish pope nominated cardinals that he had compromised with prostitutes, and compromised existing ones.

We need focus on the federalist society, they are calling the shots or at least making the draft picks. They are also up to expanding the same secret society model to other areas, a federalist society for everything as Leonard Leo sold it, and got gifted I forget a billion or several from some chicago magnate dickhead in his old age, ul-something, ulrich maybe idk.

Well keep working at it, it’s a lot harder to read when you get older and we’re all very proud of you that you are still trying to learn!

What?

Science is already well perverted by trade groups hiring organizations to commission studies to start backwards from it is safe to put out flawed conclusions lobbyists get policy makers to accept as valid and allow big money their practices.

Worse though it will become the system has been fundamentally broken since before most of us were born. Pfas, atrazine, roundup, a million other poisons are dumped and used systematically with the science of these cynical researchers to wave around.

It is all getting worse already. Watersheds are near all sullied to some degree at this point, many of which are on centuries long water cycles, there is no unpoisoning many, just as water is becoming scarcer and overused more by monied interests.

They’re planning on making vpns illegal. They haven’t said that yet but they are.

Same. I hardly use youtube and will pirate anything I want to see.

I am planning on open sourcing phones and computers too.

Silicon valley parasites can do their age verification without me, that is the last straw, I hardly use now anyway.

So that whore queen was misogynizing with foreign ants!

Oh I know it, I was referring to the populace being leftist I should have been more clear, all of our cities have right wing fascist police forces it seems. The politicians are subordinate to them not the other way around. They could take down any of our politicians and they know it.

In 2020 and several years before the police were sharing intelligence with the counter protesters, warning them about police actions, telling them where the protesters were going, a resting the protesters and letting those right-wing counter protesters go. But not just there, Berkeley California had something similar, propublica did some reporting about it back at that time.
