Kamala Harris dips in key states, making US election contest a toss-up
The US election will come down to the results in a handful of key states - and polling indicates it will be very close.
You're viewing a single thread.
It's like they're both trying to lose.
What’s even funnier is that all Kamala had to do was do the one thing democrats are good at: doing NOTHING! Just say they will take no more action in aiding Israel and Ukraine, and boom. EZ clap.
But no. Dems think that will “alienate the working class by being too woke” so they won’t do it.
I dunno about that. The Republican Party is a political cockroach. It's unkillable. Every time they're cooked, they just survive inexplicably.
NGL, that kind of explains why we get all the smuglord fascists saying “if you’re the counterculture, then why are all corporations so blue?”
I know that in its current state the Working Families Party is just Democrats off-shoot, but I seriously hope they split.
Working Families-Farm-Labor-Progressive-Nonpartisan League
Just merge all the various left-wing fusion parties into one thing.
love your posts/POV, but disagree strongly.
The Dems are not becoming/ cannot become Republicans. if fusionist republican orthodoxy was sufficient to win, the GOP would still be doing it; Paul Ryan would be in his second term as president. it's not, you need some popular juice, because only appealing to the donors is not sufficient. and yet, the Trumpist, pseduo-populist GOP still promises corporate/capital gains tax cuts; it will still be for exporting war and imperialism and deregulation of industry and markets, and there's no way it loses fully the donor class, which itself has different interests and constituents.
the current harris attempt at triangulation only works, if it actually does, because Trump has unique weaknesses -- attempting to foment a constitutional crisis, instead of peacefully transferring power, and pissing off, in a personal way, prior GOP powerbases. harris can attempt to appeal to the Never Trumpers to squeak over this electoral line, but that won't be a viable long-term strategy: the WSJ readers will uniformly return to the GOP.
if anyone is cooked, its these waffling dems. the Obama coalition is collapsing in real time: the demographic inevitability/ ascendency thesis is no more, as the dems are hemorrhaging support from non-whites. woke-capitalist/imperialist rhetoric will not be enough after Trump: if the dems can't provide material support to the non-college educated, many will be drawn to the inclusive, non-PMC-inflected cultural posture of the Trumpists.
You’re spot-on. The republicans are no stranger to factions and periods of weakness. They still manage to come back every time. The current state they’re in is nowhere near as dire as it was during the Great Depression era when articles were being made about their “inevitable” death.
This current period is closer to the Gilded Age when Democrats had support from big business and the added benefit of European immigrants largely favoring them. The Republican Party had many factions with a lot of members jumping to the very business-friendly Grover Cleveland.
People need to look harder at the Republican Party history to understand why they’ve been able to pull back after so many people over the years have prematurely declared them “dead.”
In other words, the Republican Party is cooked.
I want this timeline to be the one where the GOP pivots towards MAGA social democracy.
No, I mean they'll pivot to something like MAGA communism except the "communism" is watered down to social democracy with herrenvolk characteristics. As part of domestic counterinsurgency, there will always be two parties. If the Democrats are going to pivot towards being the bad cop, the GOP will have to pivot towards being the good cop.
Trump is scared of
, not sure what Harris's excuse is.
