    Harris is running as a moderate Republican.

    Liz Cheney gets to speak at her events, Muslim Democrats get escorted out by security and threatened with arrest.

        There’s a new pink tide struggling to be born in Latin America right now and China continues its meteoric rise as not only a superpower, but possibly dethroning US hegemony. In addition, the Axis of resistance remains defiant against the settler-colonial entity known as Israel.

        It’s not all bad.

    Blaming progressives for Harris’ defeat would be good for a “progressive” voting bloc. The only leverage a voting bloc could ever hope to have is a credible threat to withhold a vote. Usually, those on the US “left” are not perceived as credibky threatening to withhold their vote and they can be safely ignored.

    Of course voting is itself limited. If you want to develop political power for the good of humanity you need to do more than think about voting and stay far away from the Democratic Party.

      Too bad it’s not gonna matter, since if Trump wins, America will only have elections in the same sense that Russia does.
