Late Stage Capitalism

Trying to scare people off from voting with principle and warning of "splitting the votes" is a neoliberal propaganda. Canada and UK are also two-party systems, and yet they have third parties gaining seats. The now centre right British Labour Party tried to also do the same scaremongering in a by-election to dissuade voters from voting the Green Party, which took the torch of British leftism. And yet, the vote splitting didn't happen, and the Green Party won by a huge margin against the right wing Reform and Labour.

America could learn a lot, instead of listening to their mainstream media who brainwash their citizens of being corralled to think within an allowed narrative. I remember a Singaporean diplomat years ago, who made a comment that even though America is nominally a free country, he finds the news and discourse to be limited and insular-- which is practically the same as listening to state-run news in countries like China.

Although, this hasn't always been the case. One hundred years ago, third parties in America do get seats. I think the difference is that one hundred years ago, ordinary Americans were more politically proactive and engaged. One hundred years ago was the generation that ended the Gilded age and elected the Roosevelts. I don't know what happened but my suspicion is that after World War II, when the nation experienced enormous wealth and prosperity that previous generations never experienced before, Americans have become complacent.

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO isn't working out.

Only because people didn't. In a binary choice, fuckwits voted the worst choice. This was an intelligence test that America failed.

In identical news, evolution isn't immediate.

It's Democrats that are fighting leftists not Republicans. It's Democrats that are defending Republican actions, not leftists

That would only look better.
Despite that we have many parties in EU countries it's always the same system in charge.
The big ones have money and control the media.
They squabble a bit over details and trivial issues but at heart they tow the same line.
Neolib policies, and always supporting shitrael, multinationals and being vassals of the US regime.
Everything generally creeping more to the right, dismantling our social structures, sometimes some tiny concessions to 'the pseudo-left' (those who still shamelessly use the name socialist party in many cases, despite being controlled opposition) when they win. .
In theory, not much different from the US situation, even if that theater is played much further to the right.
They also have bipartisan dogma's of endless imperialism and war, aiding the israeli genociders, supporting multinationals, oligarchs and banks.

But the problem is much more than just a right to center-right party like the dems stifling leftists.

That is half the problem, the other being the population being too dumbed down to see it and too pacified and meek to change it.

Dems haven't been center right in decades, they may be barely left of Republicans but center on the political scale does no move, only parties do. With the Overton window Dems have been far right for years

To me, it boils down to what political alignment best suits the political money machine, and in a vacuum that will always be strong police, strong military, and a loose application of the laws that are meant to control their actions toward 99% of the population.

That may be simplistic as well, but the scrooge mcducks of this world have far more use for the bootheel than they do for the reallocation of their wealth to the great unwashed.

You clearly link a global far right rise with american imperialism, we wouldn't be there if the Democrats were truly on the left.

how else would americans grasp it?
Think they want are going to read a 50 page essay.
This is tailored to their 15 second attention span.

And we can blame Democrats for that as well, before Clinton's telecom reform act, media was heavily regulated, who could own what, how much they could control, how much market share they could cover. The TRA got rid of all those barriers, that's how we went from hundreds of media owners and sources to 5 who can tightly control the message.

That's like saying that a little bit of cancer is okay, just not too much. Because eventually the cancer will take over

anyone on the left

That DOESN'T include the Dem leadership.

That's a BIG part of the point that you're conveniently ignoring to further your ridiculous partisan agenda of holding neoliberal shills blameless for their inaction as the SUPPOSED opposition.

Not to mention their DECADES of actively siding with their owner donors over their constituency the vast majority of the time.

This is, frankly, a crock of smelly shit.

That's a good description of your defense of the Dem leadership, yes.

OP's history is chock full of trying to blame the ~~left~~ feckless SUPPOSED opposition for fascism

Fixed it for you.

You should be ashamed,

YOU should, apparatchik.

Democrats have never been on the left. That's the problem, they think they are but their actions say otherwise. They never take responsibility for the fuck ups they've caused, it is like an alcoholic refusing to acknowledge they are an addict. And until they do nothing will get better for them

And it's you that should be shamed of not being able to read community rules that say liberalism is not welcome in this leftist space
