    I genuinely think things will devolve to the point that Americans using political violence against the establishment democrats is the only path forward. It’s fucked up. But I feel like it’s the only way America doesn’t devolve into a nation ending civil war. Actually. Cuz looking from the outside I don’t see the outcomes of any of your elections moving the needle anymore.

    Voting out republicans doesn’t solve the problem of establishment democrats preventing newly elected democrats from fixing anything.

    edit: Hopefully I’m wrong. But this is what I believe will happen.

      I don’t know that violence is entirely necessary, but working toward the DSA becoming its own thing and letting the Establishment Dems crash in to the hard reality that nobody supported them in the first place, they just disapproved of them less than the absolute mayhem on the right should probably happen.

        Upvoted; but please understand, I’m not describing what I want to happen. I’m applying my weapons grade autistic pattern recognition to my background in attending and paying attention to history classes.

        The Republicans and Democrats are the sword and shield of the wealthy elites respectively.

        I agree with you, it’s not necessary. But I’m warning you that it’s inevitable. Those are not mutually exclusive!

        Obviously not everyone is going to agree with me on this. Hopefully I’m wrong.

          I don’t think anyone should rule it out, I just don’t think the death blow to the elites is going to come from partisan politics anyway. I think we’re past the tipping point where the system as built can be salvaged.

            That’s beyond the scope of what I’m saying. I only mentioned wealthy elites to illustrate the role establishment dems play in subverting progress.

            MMW USA will either play an integral role in the global working class uprising, or no longer exist in it’s current form by that time.
