  • The DNC cannot be entered and changed into a working class party because they too get their base from the bourgeoisie.

    I think this is too pessimistic, especially in light of how bad all other options are for the left. Party bases change – Democrats used to be a lot closer to the working class, and (decades ago) delivered major policy improvements. With a lot of jobs re-proletarianizing, who’s to say the party base can’t shift back?

    The biggest barrier to such a change is campaign donations, of course. But Bernie showed you can fund even a major presidential campaign through small donors, and we’re also at the point where corporate Dems have more money than they can effectively use (see the Harris campaign).





  • Project 2025 is scary, but it’s also stuff Republicans have been trying to do since the 80s (as you point out). If Bush and Cheney couldnt do [insert horrible policy here] when they had power, if Trump couldn’t do it the first time around, how are they going to do it now?

    This shit isn’t actually popular, a bunch of the money behind the GOP either doesn’t want it or doesn’t care (see the effect mass deportations would have on major companies’ workforces), and we have even less competent people in the federal government than in the first Trump admin, which itself had even less competent people than Bush.

    The Democratic Party doesn’t believe this stuff, either (or they just don’t care) – otherwise they’d be bending over backwards between now and January to try and sabotage it. If they cared about mass deportations, Biden could issue pardons for immigration-related offenses. Congress could grant citizenship to large swaths of the immigrants population. But they’re instead busy ensuring the smooth transition of power to people they spent the last decade calling fascists.











  • You’re talking nonsense. Yes, living people are currently causing climate change. Those most responsible have names and addresses.

    The world should have burned down to the groun… to nothingness 10 times over according to all the specialists/scientists.

    This is just embarrassingly ignorant. The climate is deteriorating faster than scientists predicted, not slower.

    Your answer to OP’s question is denial and a refusal to actually investigate the situation.
