I have only been talking about what voters should have done.
This election should have taught you that you can't control voters beyond giving them a reason to vote for you. Not being the other guy is not a good enough reason.
Third parties are electable when they can do this better than the two major parties, and people stop buying into the propaganda you are spreading. They are legitimized when you vote for them. They are a threat to the major parties that can only be realized if you vote for them.
Except, not you, because you're not an American voter, so why are you here again?
Sorry, mate, but don't assume. I'm not american, I'm kiwi.
They're not even a citizen, they're just here to spread anti-democratic voting propaganda from other fucking side of the ocean where they don't have to deal with the effects or care about any actual causes.
they'd find some clever way of putting it all in some kind of "company trust" or something, so they don't have it as an individual.
That's fine, as long as there's legal stipulations as to how that money can be spent, similar to campaign finance laws. That kind of money should go back into the company to the benefit of both the workers (via continued employment and fair compensation) and the consumers that support the company (via the quality of the company's product). It should not go to any individual executive to pocket and walk away with.
No joke, I once sat down at a restaurant with an Austrian exchange student who; when a somewhat-larger-than-usual ramekin of ranch was placed in front of him, before the rest of his meal came out; proceeded to unwrap a straw, stick it in the ranch, and take a drink.
All I could do is watch as this unfolded before me.
If you want to try something else, Burt's bees has a healing ointment for babies that is shea butter based instead of petroleum. Never actually used it on a baby myself lol but it worked wonders for me on my scalp (I have curly biracial hair and I'm picky about what goes in it) and scaly winter hands!
Hold on, if the state can't prevent violence then what is the point of addressing it? Just trying to get your thinking straight, seems a bit paradoxical to me.
Ignoring everything that American media will tell you about China, the Chinese people seem to be quite happy with their central government. Far more than any western country would even consider possible for themselves.
It stands to reason that a capitalist state which hopes to maintain even a sheer facade of democracy and freedom of the press and speech, would do everything in its power to ensure that public opinion considers even the most successful socialist states as abject failures and something to be feared, maintaining that capitalism is the best thing the human mind can possibly conjure. This would ensure that the public never considers socialist ideas to be a realistic option worth educating each other about or exercising any of their democratic power to push for, so that the state never has to seriously confront anyone questioning the power of capital, and even gives the state cover to operate against socialist regimes and actors as a "humanitarian" or "national security" threat.
The delegitimization is already done to the point that the question of socialism is a non-starter, all thought is terminated at the mere mention of it, and the state media can jump straight to calling people terrorists and dictators without anyone questioning it or the words losing any weight.
Kamala had every chance to appeal to those voters, define herself as a candidate, and provide answers for our economy, which at the end of the day is the one thing that really matters to voters. Instead, she pretended everything was fine, adopted narratives from the right and allowed them to posture like they have all the solutions, so she could look like an incompetent and feckless alternative to Republicans for people that were never going to vote for a Democrat anyways.
As a result, she very predictably failed to mobilize her own base. That is not the fault of the american public, and all of you scratched liberal vote shaming "democracy protectors" were never going outflank such an abysmal national campaign.
The Democrats are okay with bleeding voters and losing elections to fascists if the alternative is to challenge the power of capital, and the time has come to reckon with the fact that they are nothing but another obstacle in the fight for the people of this country.
Imagine how sad Americans are going to be when they find out how many lies their media peddles about American foreign policy and world powers it can paint as adversaries when that foreign policy inevitably does what it was always designed to do - keep the war machine turning.
They tried it again too, with their "America just wasn't ready for a black woman president, we all deserve the worst coming to us now" utter liberal bullshit
Smells kinda dry and vaguely fishy/metallic. It's very distinct, you know it when you smell it.
Should be noted however that it's not very healthy to breathe it in and large and/or repeated exposures can cause respiratory damage. Some static electricity is probably fine but I don't want to encourage someone to go out there and learn what it smells like first hand
Liberals are pro-capitalist, which inherently makes them right wing. American politics would have you believe otherwise, but American politics are severely skewed to make the populace accept the dominance and power of capital as an unassailable truth.
.world also makes a habit of denying ongoing genocides and shutting down any criticism of the parties involved in said genocides. Many of their users go out of their way to shit on left-wing instances and deride anyone left of them as a tankie.
Not to mention the sheer volume of woman bashing I've witnessed in gender-related threads.
So, all that considered, I think it's perfectly fair to consider them right wing.
Organize. Find strength in numbers. Join PSL or FRSO or whatever organization is happening near you. We may or may not not be able to avoid this one but we can still struggle together to right the wrongs in our society that led to these events and strike while the iron is hot.
