What kind of question is that?

That the US is going to fall further behind China in green energy technology.

Nice application of the selectorate theory.

It would be somewhat OK if the House was much more powerful relative to the Senate, similar to how the (unelected) Canadian Senate rarely if ever opposes the will of the House.

In the meantime, in Iran, age of consent is 15 13 (Src https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_in_Asia). Too low as well, but not 9 FFS.

With such a brilliant electoral strategy, it’s a complete mystery how you ended up losing the election.

Hopefully the non-conservative parties here in Canada will learn from your genius strategy and do nothing like it.

It’s so funny how all this is only a problem within a capitalist frame of reference.

If Kamala had ran on a progressive platform that would be capable of enticing people like those voting for Jill Stein to vote for her instead, Trump would have been crushed.

Regardless, this is all in the past. The question for you Americans now is surviving the coming onslaught of trumpism and organizing for the revanche.

Good job dunking on the people your side needs to win over. Keep the smugness going, it will really help.

Hard pills for Dems to swallow: there is only one cure of Right Populism, and it’s Left Populism.

Why?

Because it absolves the Democratic Party of its responsibility. They said this election was about preserving democracy. Then they didn’t do EVERYTHING THEY COULD to get every last person hyped to vote for them. Instead, they complacently chose to ignore the legitimate concerns of a whole number of constituencies. They offered nothing to counter Right Populism. No grand vision, nothing to inspire anyone. They even leashed Walz, for fuck’s sake. They let Trump waltz around in Michigan pandering to muslims while either doing fuck all or kicking their own muslim democratic leaders out of their rallies. The. Democrats. Fucked. Up. Stop blaming the voters, blame the Democrats. Otherwise, if your country has fair elections in 4 years, you’ll have the same fucking problem all over again.

Oh get off your high horse. Voters don’t owe the Dems allegiance. The Dems need to win voters. They blew a billion dollars on bullshit instead of representing their electoral constituency. If you want to blame some voters blame those that voted fascist.

Sounds like the Dems should have pandered better to them then. They had a billion dollars to find out what marginal vote block would give them the edge.

Lay it off with blaming people who are mad at Democrats about Gaza for Trump. Honestly, it’s tired, inaccurate, and wrong. Trump won the popular vote. The Dems ran a shitty campaign, they had no message, and failed to inspire 10 million of their previous voters.

Biden had this one chance to get back at Netanyahu for all the humiliations. The Republicans would scream murder but what else could they do to the Democrats? Win the legislature, the executive or the judiciary?

But Biden didn’t. Which means he either is a glutton for punishment and has a kink for humiliation or that Netanyahu is not the one on control here and this has been Biden’s genocide all along.

Yet the kahanists came back and now they’re running the National Security ministry and Netanyahu depends on them.

It’s mind boggling how inept the Democrats have been about shit like this. Where were the sob stories about the people whose jobs are in danger? About the brave entrepreneurs who took risks on technologies, creating jobs for the average joe just for the government to come and pick winners and losers with unfair Innovation-killing regulations? About energy security independent from foreign interference and dependencies and without letting China get the upper hand in electrification?? I mean, I don’t believe in capitalism, but they’re supposed to be proud self proclaimed capitalists??

And North Korea is a Democratic Republic.

Conflating Israel with Jews is antisemitic.

If it had been perpetrated against Israelis you would not be saying this.

The NDP needs to hear what Bernie and the progressive wing of the Democrats are saying: we need a bold left populist message of transformative change. The right is always going to call them commies, so stop playing the respectability game. It’s time to go beyond small incremental gains, and swing for the fences. Come on Jagmeet!
