***Official Political Discussion Thread***

i been non-stop scrolling through the news and i’m legit anxious at unhealthy levels rn.

dropped off my vote on sunday and i’m close to turning it all off and tuning it all out.

I'm gonna do that on Election morning. I'll read the thread before I go to sleep Monday night then it's radio silence in here until at least Wednesday evening.
 



The MSM is burning up all the good will they earned since 2017.

Liberals will never engage with the sort of epistemological nihilism associated with MAGA; but it looks like American liberalism will return to its Bush era stance of always being mindful to how concentrated capital can influence a paper’s editorial stances.

I could also see progressive alternative media becoming a bigger and bigger source of news for liberals, which would also be similar to the 2000’s.

Whoever wins this election, legacy media looks like it’s really in its death thrones and spiting in liberal’s faces is getting it to that point much faster than would otherwise have been the case.
 


If you want a more peaceful and just word, then Democrats aren’t blameless (especially if you give equal value to American and non American lives an alike).

But from a narrow standpoint of what party will start a large scale land war, it was the GOP that started the biggest ground wars fought by Americans in the last 50 years. Meanwhile it was Democrats who withdrew from Iraq and Afghanistan.


I actually could sort of understand this argument in 2016. At that time, Obama was president and Afghanistan was still going on. Moreover, Trump was more of a blank slate. And most worrying of all, Hillary Clinton believed that a politician couldn’t be taken seriously unless they were “tough” on “adversaries.” Although even than, I doubt Hillary Clinton would have committed to a large scale land war.

But in 2024, there’s absolutely no reason to think that war is more likely with Harris as president, rather than Trump. Not only that, but a world of hyper nationalism and economic fragmentation, tend to make very large scale wars much more likely.

Donald Trump is trying to build a world where world war (and the mass mobilization and conscription that comes with it) an inevitability.

If your only interest is NOT being drafted and sent to war, you’re far better off with Harris as president.
 


Zionist overreach, combined with the ruling class’ insistence on using “Jewish” and “Zionist” interchangeably, is going to make diaspora Jews less safe.
 


He’s not helping




Trump is proposing deporting 20 million people. Kamala should triangulate and agree to deport one person.




Ok, make that two deportations. Kamala, save America and carry out these deportations on day one.
 
Dems need to take the mics away from all old white men in their party for the next few days :lol

Kamala has done a pretty good job at being careful with her words and not pissing people off. She doesn’t need Clinton or Biden’s help.
