Hardkill

Yeah, MSNBC tells it like it is, unlike those cocksuckers on FOX News, or what that attention whore Megyn Kelly says, and that god damn criminal Alex Jones word vomits. All of these right-wing media monsters need to be imprisoned and need to truly suffer like hell. They pretend like they are all so patriotic about America when they really hate true freedoms for the people! Centrism is now in serious danger of dying too!!!!

We will very likely have a recession by the end of Trump's presidency. I wouldn't be surprised if we have such a severe recession like what happened in the 2008 financial crisis or something like the 1929 Stock market crash which led to the beginning of the Great Depression.

No, if more than 50% of Americans are willing to use their power for horrible things then we would have numbers to fight and win this war. Look man, our country is already doomed so I figure that we have nothing to lose by waging some kind of serious war for our freedoms and a war on corporate greed/tyranny.

Yeah, and those churros will probably be stolen by MAGA and the wealthy. Even Leo has implied that they are going to steal most of the country like what happened during the Gilded Ages.

Okay, I believe I fixed that issue. Sorry, I am really scared about the future and I don't see why we should just sit idly by and do nothing while MAGA tears our country apart and we head towards an economic depression.

Well, then that would mean that we got very lucky that none of that stuff came to pass. I hope I am wrong or maybe someone else can give me persuasive arguments to help allay my fears.

Yeah, but I think that most politicians including most of those who are in power at the state and local level have made it clear that they don't believe in rank choice voting. How the hell are you going to fight that unless how you have an exceptionally charismatic leader like Obama or MLK to inspire a serious movement that has a real shot of making that happen? How?!

Let's see what Leo thinks about this.

Yeah, they may say that, but most people are apparently not emotionally inspired enough to actually vote for and or fight for it. It's just like how there's not enough real political will for something like Medicare 4 All even though most Americans want some kind of universal healthcare system.

Sorry, but I think that we may have no other choice but to have some kind of WW3 (either through conventional warfare or ideally through civil disobedience)

Look man, he has good intentions, but his new party is not going to work....he's not very pragmatic and I don't his ideas gaining any traction at all.

If it succeeds.... With all due respect to him, he doesn't have much appeal or charisma. He's been too weak and too unsuccessful of a leader. I sincerely doubt his Forward Party is going to lead to anywhere.

We desperately need a once-in-a-generation inspirational leader to lead such a fight against this war! I also feel the need to bring in pictures of the greatest heroic leaders of America who led our country out of darkest periods in US History: George Washington: Abraham Lincoln: Frederick Douglass: Ulysses S. Grant: Teddy Roosevelt: Woodrow Wilson: FDR: MLK: Harry Truman: JFK (Jack Kennedy): Lyndon Johnson: Obama:

No! You guys aren't getting it! Even Leo, who I don't always agree with just recently said in his blog: "A second Trump term would be absolutely disastrous. It will be by far the most corrupt form of government that America has ever had, by an order of magnitude. The corruption will be horrific and unimaginable. Expect war, violence, abuse of power at unprecedented scale, loss of many freedoms, Federal ban on abortion, white supremacy, Christian theocracy, criminals in the White House, fraud, corporate exploitation, gutting of all good regulations, a generation-long destruction of the Supreme Court, erosion of the legal system, concentration camps for migrants, abuse of all types of minorities, gross incompetence and mismanagement, poisoning of the food and water supply, pardoning of elite criminals, stock market collapse, crypto market collapse, and perhaps the end of democracy and elections. I'm not saying this will happen with 100% certainty, but it's reasonably probable — which is a completely irresponsible thing to gamble with."

Well, I pray to God or some higher being out there that everyone who is against the evil Republican party can one day figure out how to create a movement to fucking destroy MAGA and the radical right-wing Republican party elites once and for all. The Radical Right-wing Will All Pay Dearly For Their Crimes Against Humanity!!!!!!!! They Must All Be Annihilated!!!

Can we build enough left-wing podcasts and a strong enough populist online presence before it's too late for our country?

Apparently not.

It's not clear that we will ever put forward an appealing candidate in 2028.

What would Obama or FDR do?

I don’t think Biden used social media anywhere near as much as Trump did in 2020 and yet he still won decisively back then.

Well, then why did they bother coming over to this country if they were hoping for more freedom?

This guy's talking points were weak and played into the notion that MAGA supporters are out of touch with reality. Trump and MAGA are really on the defense. Most moderates, Independents, and undecided voters increasingly see Trump's party as extreme and truly disturbing.

He wants the government to eliminate fluoride in water. He's a fucking weirdo. Have you listened to Obama's latest speeches?

Most people in America are so Trump. Harris represents the new change our country really wants and will really fight for justice: How about Tim Walz?! He's a true populist and has a great sense of humor! Also, listen to Obama's fiery speech:

OP, are you trolling? The radical right-wing justices on the Supreme Court have given the president absolute immunity for "all official" acts. That means that if Trump becomes president he will have much greater power as president compared to any other president in US History. The economy tanked so badly during Trump's last year as president. The economy right now is not perfect but it's the strongest it has ever been since the 1990s. Look at the GDP growth reports for each quarter since the beginning of 2021. Look at how low the unemployment rate has been for years. The percentage of those aged 25-54 years old in America who hold a job is the highest it has ever been in the history of this country except when compared to the period from 1997 to the middle of the year 2001. Plus, the percentage of those aged 55-75 years old in America who hold a job is the highest it has ever been in the history of this country. Biden presided over the creation of approx. 16 million jobs, including all of the 9.4 million jobs that were lost from the pandemic when he first took office and the new 6.6 million jobs that never existed before the pandemic. Also, Biden and his party have already created the most amount of very good paying jobs for the working class, middle class, and working poor due to their passage of historic pieces of legislation including the infrastructure bill, the Chips and Science and Act, and the landmark IRA. Also, the inflation crisis ended over a year and a half ago and wages/salaries have been outpacing inflation for most everyday people in the country for over a year and a half. Biden and the Democrats saved most of Ukraine from being taken over from Russia: He was found guilty of raping an innocent woman, he's been indicted over 90 times for grave crimes he has committed and was already found guilty on 34 counts for a case involving election interference: Btw, remember how there was widespread civil unrest during Trump's last year as president after the murder of George Floyd: Moreover, women's reproductive freedoms are on the line: Also, don't ever forget what happened on January 6 all because Trump refused to concede the 2020 election: Plus, Trump doesn't give a damn about climate change, whereas Biden, Harris, and Democrats passed the largest bill for dealing with climate change ever in US history and brought back a lot of pro-environment regulations:
