Bernie reams the DNC

[LotusBud]

He, like all the rest of you hapless sheep, fell in line as you were told to do. Because the puppet masters made every last one of you believe democracy was at stake. As they were busy trying to cart democracy out the back door.

I don't see where such a statement about his actions are helpful. He did what every single one of you did.

And what were you MAGAidiots doing when you voted for that shitstain?

YUP:

Biden had every opportunity to take the dignified way out and not seek reelection. In the face of poll numbers stacked against him and extremely apparent mental decline, any reasonable person could have seen the odds were

Instead, Biden’s ego got in the way and put Democrats in the awful situation of a last-minute switch to Harris.

casting a vote for a return to 2019 era economic conditions

Why is it honest to stay quiet? I think the absolute biggest problem in US politics is the 2=party system. Why are there only 2 parties? There are more than 2 ways of looking at any issue.

It's because the elites who run the US system don't want to share power with the masses & give them a true say in running the system.

That's why most US states don't split the electoral college because it would give rise to 3rd parties & split the hegemony of the 2 Democrats and Republicans. It would threaten the power of the Superstate & weaken the power of the elites.

1 alternative might be a multiparty system like France where multiple parties run in an election & then theres a runoff a week later between the 2 top parties to decide the winner. Meanwhile the winning party signs a contract with its coalition partners to map out an agenda. But theyd have to abide by the contact for 4 years until the next election cycle.

Of course this would threaten the power of the superstate in the US & that's why it's never implemented. Just a vision for 'a perfect world'.

But can the Republicans do that even if they try?

A lot has changed since 2019.

Regardless of which party is in power, the hegemony of the US continues to weaken. Other rivals are coming up on its flank such as China. The US Petro dollar is no more & US military power is beginning to wane.

Try as he might I'm not sure if Trump can restore a nations economy which is 35 trillion in debt.

Could Kamala have codified abortion had she come to power? Lots of politicians make promises the cannot, nor had any intention of keeping

Trump is no different. Remember the wall Mexico was going to pay for? Or Obama's top priority when reaching office being codifying Roe vs Wade until it wasn't?

You are acting like 2025 and beyond will be the first time a politician is met with their inability to effect serious and therefore hamstrung from the word go. If you are open and honest with yourself first, the greater community at large 2d you will see that Trump was the lesser of two evils and had a track record of more favorable financial outcomes for average Americans than that of Harris.

Yes. I fully advocate for a multi-party system and an end to campaign contributions from any individual or corporation. Musk just bought himself an important seat at the table, and no one fucking stopped him.

Portugal has 8 or 9 official parties. And in my opinion, we are imperfect as hell, but far better overall than the US.

Because America is too overworked, under paid, under health cared, under child cared, under educated, and too poor to have time to realize this.

If he truly didn't support her campaign, or the party, I don't think he should have done so at all.

Can you tell me how a multi-party system works out to share power.

It seems that countries with multiple parties, at the end of the day, they fall into right or left.

Now, you can argue that we don't have a true "left" in this country, but that's a related, but different topic.
