Russian bot

Four more years of Trump

No, this is just a spectacle, I have no interest in participating

Both parties support increasing military aggression with Russia and China therefore putting us on a footing for an apocalyptic war (as demonstrated by your immediate accusation that not pledging loyalty to the Democratic Party makes me a “Russian bot” or means I want four more years of Trump)

Both parties are more or less guaranteed to “solve” the economic crisis by just...cutting some taxes doing a shit ton more stimulus, committing brutal austerity, and funneling more power to a select few monopolies

The choice of Kamala Harris specifically makes it clear Biden intends to be entirely as brutal in response to the current BLM movement as Trump has been, given Harris’s built up political career in prosecuting and jailing poor and working class people; the only difference is that this brutal crackdown will now be immune to criticism unlike with Trump

Considering the political fiasco of the last four years I have no faith that the Democratic Party aren’t equally as likely to institute some form of dictatorship in the not-so distant future, among them a conspiracy theory fostered by the US intelligence agencies to simultaneously increase tensions on a foreign rival and depose a domestic political opponent. It looks to me, as a leftist who has no stake in a fight between two far-right liberal parties, that America’s inevitable path is either some fascistic dictatorship, civil war, or collapse; what’s most baffling is the near total lack of difference between either party when the media spotlit political theatre is torn away to reveal the actions and backers of each.

The American political system has already told you you either get a Red Trump or a Blue Trump as it were, if you go along with their demands you’re basically accepting the sorry state of affairs we’re in. Don’t accept it.

I agree that we shouldn't discount an apocalyptic war in the near future. Elements of both parties have been jonesing for an attack on Iran for decades.

But I don't think the Democratic party as it is today would institute a dictatorship. They're not that far gone. For that matter, I don't think the GOP would either.

However, the slow creep of totalitarianism by the Far, Far Left, (as evidenced by Trans, Inc.) combined with Trump and his cult's desire for Trump to be Dictator for Life means that we in the middle have to be on guard.

The Democrats as they exist today would totally institute a dictatorship, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the ultimate proof of this. For the past four years the Democrats have heavily increased tensions with Russia abroad (whom we already had heightening tensions with due to the Donbass Proxy War) while also creating a vast conspiracy theory to attack their political enemies at home, up to the point of trying to unseat the sitting administration with assistance from the CIA and FBI. Perhaps for elements of the middle or upper middle class whose livelihoods are tied to this struggle for power between the GOP and DNC all of this is incredibly vital, but for me, as a working class person this is terrifying. Both parties are more or less angling for a dictatorship of some form in the near future, were this not the case the DNC wouldn’t have anointed the most far-right nominees in the entire DNC primary as their candidates, both of these candidates are well known for helping to build the modern police-state, Biden himself was sinisterly involved in arming and funding neo-nazis in Ukraine during the proxy war with Russia under the Obama administration. Like, this shit is pretty bad. I have no clue what the working class is meant to gain here, from the man that created so many of the draconian drug laws of the 1980s that ruined so many lives, and the woman that raised the conviction rates in Cali as a DA by over 25%.

I think pointing a finger at Trump as the ultimate evil that demands ultimate submission to the DNC is a mistake. When does this ever end? Let’s say we “save the world” by making Joe Biden president in 2020, what then about 2024? We have to do it again? And then in 2028? Forever? And yet every single year each party will be worse? What then when the democrats in the future are the republicans now (though I’d say beyond rhetoric they’re hardly very different)? I promise you the people that control both parties won’t hesitate to exterminate the working class when the time comes, when the economy tumbles for good or the ecosystem goes kaput the curtains will finally fall and the ugly truth of everything will come out in the open. And let me tell you, the DNC and the people that own them are every bit as ruthless, merciless, and without remorse as the other party; these people Have regularly killed children and felt nothing, those children just happen to be overseas or poor.

I'm with you on a lot of this. My job used to involve paying attention to events both in the US and overseas, and that meant paying attention to politics. The political landscape globally is very sinister, and seems somewhat interconnected, at least to some extent. I'm still trying to figure out what is happening, even though I'm not sure anyone can.

The rise of gender ideology is very deliberate. If we can't even describe ourselves in the most basic biological terms, how can we make sense of the world around us.

As I keep saying, some GC feminists are saying that the end goal of gender ideology is transhumanism, and, I can see how, with the rise of automation, which will take most jobs by 2030 or so, humans might become "Useless Eaters" to the 0.01% and what you describe might happen.
