I hope AOC, Bernie, and friendly governors are hiring DEI military members. If a civil war happens, it would be preferable if our commanders and soldiery is in good order.
It is my guess that Bernie is a man of peace, but I hope he is willing to prepare in advance for the conflict to come.
Guess New England is one of the easiest parts of us to defend in a civil war, so he's got that going for him as well. First liberate the north east than expand from Canadian border. Go DEI Army Go!
(Can someone call Hollywood, I have a movie to pitch. It's called The blacks, the gays and the females vs the damned biggot maga-folk 1. Yass)
I wish I could believe there would be a next election or that Americans were capable of learning.
By next election, the 14 words will be on the bank notes.
Biggest problem with Bernie. He's been beaten for years into somehow believing the liberal lie that we can all be a family if we just vote hard enough. He points out the bullshit well, but then just connects it to voting for more democrats. There needs to be a call for a new workers parry. We need a new party, not a new democrat.
We need a new party, not a new democrat
Never going to happen while we still have FPTP, at least not the way you think it will. What would really happen, is this new party would split the Democratic vote, and the Republicans would win even harder. You have to get rid of FPTP before any 3rd party will be a realistic possibility. Until then it would just make things even worse.
For President sure, but if say GOP got 45% of house, Dems 35%, party X 20%, surely Dems and X can hold majority and speakership together (and vote the same way on a lot of things), or does GOP get speakership because they have the highest single party vote?
You’re assuming the democrats and this new party would vote the same for SotH and all important bills, in which case what’s the point of this new party? Also most states use FPTP for congressional elections as well, so while democrats and this third party would likely still win some seats, in most locations they would again split the vote and you’d end up with even more GOP congressional representatives than you have now. So it wouldn’t be 45/35/20 GOP/dem/X, it would be more like 80/15/5. That’s just the nature of how FPTP works.
Math & Chaos theory says you have to get rid of FPtP voting before that can happen.
There is a reason the GOP is making other voting methods illegal in states they have control over.
Then, even if you manage that, those parties have to do the work at a local level. The Democratic Socialists seem to be the only 3rd party that understands that. The rest of them are nothing more than novelty parties or outright spoilers.
Even if we have another election, it won't matter until we fix this.

They stole the vote in every way they could. They will do so again.
This is why local elections mean so much. You need to put in people that are going to fight like Bernie for us. It's the only way.
Trump and the Republicans are pissing off so many people, we'll see how this plays out. Midterms are going to crash and burn for the Republicans. Not everywhere, but in a lot of places (like Wisconsin).
fingers crossed for this weekend's federal election in Australia to go in a similar trajectory
Same here. Albo all the way! I'll be at a polling booth all day, so should be interesting.
Might help if we tell everyone about negative effects of placing tarrifs on wombats and kangaroos
Gotta get trump to start talking about annexing Australia. That'll help.
We're gonna call it "Southwest Hawaii".
Petition to rename NSW to New South Wisconsin.
Well, it the US will have fair and open elections...
Bernie thinks there will actually be another real election.
They were cheering "trump 2028" at a 100 day rally yesterday.
Actual Nazis
It breaks my heart that Sanders is the person we needed to turn this shitshow around, and was knifed in the back by his "Compatriots."
A good man, fucked by a shit system.
I remember the cries of 'Is Bernie Sanders "Presidential" enough?' in 2015, and then America electing Trump, and shaking my fucking head.
His own party knifed him in the back, and pushed Clinton.
Of course. It was "her turn".
The DNC has it's values, and the likes of Bernie don't represent them. If AOC ever gets within spitting distance of real power, the whole thing will degenerate into messy infighting, like UK's Labour did when Corbyn got power.
“But he’s so oooooooollllllldddd.”
God job, democrats.
I remember watching this show called the circus back in 2015 and it tracked all the political shiftings which were happening in the lead up to the big race. Needless to say I lost interest once Bernie wasn't selected to run the party, shit country that will never fight for their own best interests.

This is what EVERYBODY doesn't understand. The DNC is NEVER going to select Bernie because he is NOT a Democrat. He is, and always has been, an Independant.
The presidential nomination is the highest award a party can give to a member, and they are going to give it to a loyal member who has supported the party, raised money for them, praised their actions, etc. Bernie has done none of that. He may caucus with the Dems, but he doesn't raise money for them, and he has often been very critical of Democrats.
He's NOT a Democrat, and there was never a time when the Democrats would give him the nomination, no matter how many votes he got in the primary. The last thing the Dems want is for a non-Dem to step up and fix the country, and prove how ineffective they've been in every Democratic administration.

For over 10 years I’ve read that a lot of people want Bernie Sanders as president, yet I’ve never seen him on the news over here on the other side of the globe.
He seems like a guy who cares for the people and plans ahead that other people in charge continue his plans, Democrats and Republicans alike.
that other people in charge continue his plans?? If the people in charge would have executed his plans we would live in a much better world right now.
Cute. He thinks there will be an election.
Even Russia has elections.
there will be.
the republicants know that when turnout is high, they lose. society and reality lean to the left. that's why they do all the registration and voter suppression and put up as many obstacles as they can to access the ballot box.
there will need to be historic and unprecedented voter participation in every state and in every district to make up for all that right-wing maga bullshit that tries to keep people from being able to vote.
I honestly thought he was going to lose by an embarrassing landslide last time. I wasn't just hoping, I was convinced from here in Australia. Heck I even put $100 on Kamala, first time in my life betting on politics.
Strange times indeed.
The rest of the world doesn't see their propaganda on TV and online, easy to underestimate how many people they have brainwashed.
I was all in on the Harris train as well. It was actually the betting odds on election night seeing the odds were in a slight favor for Trump that made me think otherwise.
Also in Australia. It blew my mind. Seriously. I think it broke me a little bit to realise how monumentally fucking STUPID people en masse are. I mean, I kinda suspected it all along, but I was clearly unable to even imagine the actual scale of it.

I bet $50 on her for my own peace of mind, but I knew I'd lose it. She was a late stage afterthought to stem the hemorrhaging created by Biden being a senile entitlement president. We have to get the notion that NOBODY is owed the presidency in this country. It's either earned or stolen.

Trump will just sign an EO claiming that the nation is in crisis and fair elections are therefore not possible.

Of course there will. It'll just be illegal to vote for anyone except Trump.
Kash Patel will simply fabricate cases against any potentially electable candidates and prosecute them into oblivion.
