I would argue that there is no left in the USA, or in most western countries. There's nothing left about the Democrats. They're just a slightly different flavour of right wing, maybe with rainbow crosswalks and that sort of thing. Both parties pander to the rich and ignore the rest of us.

ABSOLUTELY!!!! Speaking as one-time county co-chair of my local Democratic Party during Obama's transition from "Hope & Change" to "Bait & Switch", I can say there is no significant fundamental or utilitarian difference between the two wings of the corporate uniparty: The Republocrats.

Even now, with fascism exploding around us, "lefty/Dem" groups I have tried to work with are all hung up on pronouns and woke virtue signaling and quickly ghost my efforts to help. The best thing the Trumpstein fascists have going for them is the American left.

Recall what Steve Bushemi/Nikita Kruschev said in 'The Death of Stalin' . Trump behaves as he does because he is a weak man.

Just disappeared in the bureaucracy.

Like so many.

Addicted as he is to being the center of attention, I fear DJT is unlikely to go willingly to disappear into any bureacracy. If things go seriously south for him, I would more likely expect him to disappear into a golf course. I'm waiting for him to wake up one morning and say, "This is no fun. I quit. You handle it, JD!"

Trump will launch nuclear war rather than disappear anywhere.

I'm still hoping you're wrong! I'd expect Bibi to do it first. He's got the Reverend Jim Jones in him.

With the sale (takeover) of TicTok by pro-Israel American billionaires, it’s going to be harder to know what’s true and what is AI generated and what never sees the light of day. They’ve already stated they’re going to “change the algorithms” which tells me free speech is gone on that platform.

I watched all of Netanyahu’s UN speech and it was 45 minutes of lies, distortions and thinly veiled threats. You’ll be glad to know he plans to “liberate” Iran so these “two ancient people can live together in peace and harmony.” He made it clear this murderous rampage is not going to stop until all of Palestine is Zion and everyone needs to forget about a two-state solution. Trump is a weak man, easily frightened into submission, but BiBi is a true tyrant. It’s harder to see because he has his nation’s backing but that’s what he is.

Trumpstein is not only a little, quivering dope it is clear Netanyahu has some ugly Epstein blackmail on him. Trump is the maddest and least competent of all the mad emperors.

He’s also made your country a laughing stock, but everybody plays the game so that they can get the best tariffs possible.
