      Definitely think Trump will win. I hope it’s Harris though. It will spell more chaos when the Magas do a “storm the Capitol” 2.0.

        It’s definitely a toss up and hard to tell which is funnier: Trump becoming the president even after libs’ fifteen thousand or so indictments or Harris winning and mobilising the chud hordes.

      It’s really hard to say. I could see the strategy of appealing to young men by telling them Trump and project 2025 are going to ban porn on top of the abortion issue pushing Kamala over the edge but right now I think Trump has an atomically small edge and seems ever so slightly more likely to win given how bad economic conditions are for working people and the tendency of Americans to change parties over things like that. Even if Trump loses if it’s close enough they can just pull a 2000 and steal it with lawyers and the Supreme Court so he has that going for him as well. Bourgeoisie in the tech sphere seem to be for Trump with Bezos and Musk seeming at least neutral or in Musk’s case all in.

      While you are talking about the destruction of America, is the True God of Christianity, Yahweh, already selling America to social liberals and flooding American with immigrants of mixed-European origin and non-European origin as punishment for their fake school death camp genocides against Indigenous people and their refusal to confess that the Nazi Holocaust is a cheap imitation of the ongoing war crimes by the Western European empires and British diaspora?

    I’m gonna be honest.

    Even though I didn’t like Kamala, I still view the overall result as a tragedy for the working-class, as the cultural zeitgeist will likely change following this.

    Last night I watched an “election special” episode of This Hour Has 22 Minutes (a Canadian political comedy, I think it’s the only one).

    2 things:

    Do “democratic voters” not see anything wrong with the “democracy ends if Trump is voted in!” line? Like, if a candidate/party/etc. is so bad that it could spell the end to your country, and your electoral system allows those sorts of politicians to not only have a platform but a real shot at power, shouldn’t you be concerned that the people you are voting for have done nothing to bolster your democratic institutions? How is it so hard to see that saying “he’s the literal devil and must be stopped!”, while doing nothing to protect “democracy” is just political theater and you are being played for fools who must choose which cult to be a part of?

    Thing 2:

    OMG THINGS ARE SO MUCH WORSE THAN I THOUGHT I know a comedy show cherry picks photos and videos, but do Americans not realize that the cult of personality surrounding two politicians IS NOT NORMAL!? It gives me the same kind of ick I felt when I was a teen visiting a friend’s Pentecostal church, everyone started speaking in tongues as we surrounded the altar (or whatever it’s called) and some middle aged white man put is hand on my shoulder from behind and started praying or chanting or something.

    I’m usually psychologically resilient when it comes to Capitalism and empire because I have developed some level of understanding. But the crazy cult gatherings I saw… That gave me feelings of dread and sadness I haven’t experienced in a long time.

    On the plus side it did help me see just how far along the empire is towards its collapse into irrelevance… But why do they have nukes? Like damn…

    I hope y’all in the usa have a pleasant day, find new comrades to organize with, and experience health, happiness, and safety.

      One of my favorite arguments to US election hysterics is to point out that no one in that country thinks the other party should actually exist. Most voters are ideologues focused on “defeating the [opposition party]” based entirely on idpol and vibes. Nearly everyone committed to US politics actually wants a one party system, but cannot seem to form the words to express that directly.

      Like, “Do the [opposition party] make the country better?” No? So they shouldn’t be allowed to have power, right? Agreed? Okay, then you have to prevent them from getting power by voting, right? Yes? So voting for the [opposition party] is off the table? Agree? Okay then, in your view, the point of Democracy™ is to maintain a one-party system by choosing Good over Evil. Does it prevent Evil from getting power? No? Does it mitigate Evil from getting power? Sometimes? Would there be less Evil if the [opposition party] didn’t exist? Yes? Then voting is ineffective and the [opposition party] should be banned from politics? Ummmm…

    Ah shit folks look like Trump is winning but worry not. As soon as I file this 69th indictment against Donald Drumpf in the court of New York we will get him for good.

    For all Americans here, don’t forget the results don’t matter much, the fight continues and bourgeois democracy will never truly represent you anyway.
