    Spoiler alert: they do not.

    With the dinosaurs sucking down those billionaire bribes, if we can’t remove them for new progressive YOUNGER blood, then the Democratic party is going to implode.

    Hopefully the republikkkans go first, ofc…

    If you’re still not convinced the Dems aren’t gonna save us go watch the Raskin interview on YT with the LegalEagle guy.

    I almost yeeted my phone when Raskin was asked, “So, Bondi didn’t answer a single question. What’s next?” “LOL we haven’t thought that far ahead. We’re busy getting reelected.”

    That’s not an exaggeration or hyperbole. That’s exactly what he said.

    So the real leftist plan isn’t being played out in politics, it’s being played out in business.

    Join a co-op or credit union today.

    Support local and sustainable businesses.

    Support non-profits.

    If you can, buy a for-profit and convert it to a non-profit or a non-profit co-op.

    Most of the people at the top on the left don’t have the drive or the power to enact real meaningful change in our lives, but voting left when you can is still the right thing to do politically. It at least makes it harder for the far right to gain yet more ground.

    Like cancer, you can’t just ask it nicely to stop killing you, you have to cut it all out.

    But unlike cancer in a human body, we can also escape this cancers influence by simply building a separate cancer free body.

    Technically we can do both, and hedge out bets a bit, but one is much easier to do than the other.

    Let me guess … the plan is to reach across the table and compromise … then move on and not dwell on this dark time in history.

    There’s a rough consensus that the world is transitioning to a new order, but no one really has any idea what the world is moving toward

          You’ll have to crop the sides off to get rid of the imgflip and ifunny watermarks (which is no big deal because it’d still be the same size as your version), but here ya go:

          Took me all of 30 seconds to find in a DDG image search for “cyberpunk dystopia meme.”

    whatever it is, it cant be centrism. Centrism cant win elections. I’m just assuming there will be elections in the post trump order.

      meanwhile in australia, the far right leader of the opposition got SLAUGHTERED in the election because he was too far right, while the centre party won by a fucking landslide.

        I’d bet that Australias lack of systemic corruption is going to inflate the hell out of the AUD. I should move my funds over while the rates are still reasonable. In the past year USD:AUS exchange rate has gone from .63 USD per AUD to .71 USD per AUD. Thats a huge rate of return.

    In Munich, U.S. Secretary of State Marcio Rubio proposed a “new Western century,” built around a manufactured claim of shared Christian and white heritage, propped up by an elementary-school understanding of world history.
