I don’t want to hear one more goddamn thing about Bolshevik party “groupthink” as an excuse for communism being bad. Clearly this is a feature of any political party involved in what it perceives to be existential struggle. The Republicans do it, the Democrats do it. A political party in panic will always do it

Here’s the thing. Inflation is already “fixed”. The rate of inflation has gone way down, almost to the Fed’s target. But that is just the RATE of inflation. Prices aren’t coming down unless there’s a recession

Call them opposition parties, since both the Republicans and Democrats are effectively always “in government” as a coalition, with one being the junior partner depending on election performance.

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

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?
