China should take this opportunity to get Afganistan into their orbit. The US sure as hell won't pay reparations for the damage.

China's already kinda on it

I hope liberals learn from this and start organizing. The billionaire-funded Democrat party will never pin blame on the capitalists that fund them to get working class votes.

As this article points out:

Bernie’s coalition was filled with the exact type of voters who are now flocking to Donald Trump: Working class voters of all races, young people, and, critically, the much-derided bros. The top contributors to Bernie’s campaign often held jobs at places like Amazon and Walmart. The unions loved him. And— never forget — he earned the coveted Joe Rogan endorsement that Trump also received the day before the election this year. It turns out, the Bernie-to-Trump pipeline is real! While that has always been used as an epithet to smear Bernie and his movement, with the implication that social democracy is just a cover for or gateway drug to right wing authoritarianism, the truth is that this pipeline speaks to the power and appeal of Bernie’s vision as an effective antidote to Trumpism. When these voters had a choice between Trump and Bernie, they chose Bernie. For many of them now that the choice is between Trump and the dried out husk of neoliberalism, they’re going Trump.

He would actually advance working class interests though, and all billionaire/corporate funding to the Democrats would be cut off as a result; Dems wouldn't let that happen.

That's the point of liberal "democracies" after all: keeping capitalists in power.

Get organized, that excuse of a democracy won't save you.

Cuba's biggest current shortages right now are energy and building materials like cement. Both of which are directly caused by the embargo, and worsened by the recent storm.

So like the dems, they're supposed to be marginally less fascist than the opposition

Isn't this basically a coup?

As always capitalists won't let real leftists come into power within their capitalist system, even if that means giving way to fascism. Revolution is the only way; winning an election is a bonus ad campaign.
