In any case what does it matter? We're not going to fix this country by voting.

I largely agree however I think there's still value in voting for genuinely good candidates ('good' being as each voter determines for themselves). When you have strong reservations and misgivings about a candidate then I think that's a clear sign that they're not someone you should vote for. Good on Jimmy for putting Cornel under thorough investigation (both for himself and his viewership) and showing up Cornel's various failings but I don't understand why he's not taking the obvious next step of saying, sorry, can't support this guy, he doesn't qualify as one of the rare, few politicians who it's really worth getting behind.

Because it leaves but one conclusion. The system cannot be saved.

Look Jimmy is a Social Democrat at the end of the day and he doesn't want to go there. He can't go there.

But hey if Democracy is on the Ballot then voting against it is a legitimate choice.

WoTB is mainly old school lefties who would be the core of the New Deal coalition. Haz said something great on stream last night. It might have been specifically tailored for you: FDR was based but ultimately failed. We will honor FDR by burning down the system he built and rebuilding it from scratch.

You're saying that voting for Trump is a way to bring down the system? Interesting analysis if so.

It's clear that the 'Deep State' very actively does not want him to be president again, so that's a point in favour of your argument (if that's yr argument). My (not highly informed) view is that Trump showed little real effect in 'draining the swamp' in his first term and I'm dubious that he'll have much effect in doing more if he gets a second term. But maybe he'll help cause them to self-destruct, i.e. blow themselves and 'the system' up? So maybe he's a catalyst? I don't know, just trying to understand your argument.

I can't find the tweet right now but one of our comrades said something like

'MAGA is nothing without Trump' = Idealism

'Trump is nothing without MAGA' = Materialism

You can substitute liberalism for idealism and socialism/communism for materialism if you want. What I'm getting at is, we're using him.

It's almost like Julius Caesar's situation. He too pissed off the establishment by being a fake-ish populist, and when the Populares lost the Civil War, the Optimates proscribed them. Caesar's life was spared by a bribe. I think at that moment he decided to burn it all down.

Yet, we almost had a revolution on Jan 6, except those retards forgot to bring their guns. If they did would the swamp have been drained? I think so

Nailed it.

They will soy the fuck out and really crank up the repression. The street violence from the fascist storm brigades like ANTIFA/BLM will return only it will be much worse, now that Blood Tribe and Patriot Front are in the mix.

Eventually the American people will have had enough.
