History shows that revolt is effectively impossible until/unless the middle class is crushed into nonexistence.

Generally, people must be starving and deeply abused with no other options before they will turn to revolution.

Till then, bead and circus quells the masses.

There are only 3 ways out of this;

1) World War or Apocalypse; debt becomes irrelevant.

2) Hyperinflation; debt paid back but annihilates the economy and forces the middle class into extinction.

3) Debt Jubilee; would solve the crisis, but would trigger a massive economic depression.

Americans have proven that we really don't give a shit about corruption, or facts, or even the sacking of the US Capitol.

We seem to ONLY care about the economy.

But invading our own cities, masked men abducting people, and another pointless war are all giving that assertion a run for its money.

More than anything, Republicans appear LESS LIKELY to vote next November as compared with Democrats, who are EXTREMELY motivated to vote.

I dont.

Setting aside that we are clearly an empire in decline, which historically has not gone well, Republicans have fully embraced a quasi-religious cult mentality rooted on Fascism.

There is no way to share a government committed to democracy with such individuals.

That is our reality.

I served as a US diplomat for years.
Speaking frankly, this is an abject disgrace.

This IS NOT how we speak with our good friends and lifelong allies.

Fuck this guy with a sideways shovel. Fire him day 1 when Democrats take back control.

Emabarassing, ridiculous, damaging, disgusting, and wrong.

Thanks for all your work Paul

Yep

Not a whole heck of a lot different than what we have now.

Democratic-Socialism has yet to be given a chance in modern America. The proof is in the pudding, and we have a shot.
Both parties know this.
Which is why both parties are actively trying to sink or blunt him.
Because his success will/would change the face of American politics forever.

True and powerful words, good sir.

The unspoken implication in them is staggering.

Has been so for quite a while now.

My god

My god, I have no idea what you are rambling about.

But I don't have time for it or interest in continuing it, so I will not be responding further.

Good day.

Whether or not he moves ahead with it, I expect the biggest Blue Wave ever in American history.

Look at the recent off-term elections.
This wasn't even the midterms and Republicans got blown out of the water in a devastating landslide.

Good

It is not "infighting" to criticize one's party for its shortcomings.

We are not a cult.
