Executive editor for The American Prospect, David Dayen, explains why Election Day will signal the end of a campaign, but not the end of Donald Trump’s term in office.
By David Dayen American Prospect This is a horror story. Maybe you think that way about the past three years: the corrupt self-dealing, the fusillade of lies and ignorance, the corporate handover of the regulatory state, the authoritarian repression. The oncoming election may provide you with a crack […]
By Julian Borger The Guardian The former UK ambassador in Washington, Kim Darroch, has warned of a “genuine risk” of violence in the aftermath of a close-run US election in November. Darroch noted that although Joe Biden is maintaining a significant lead nationwide, the margins in some battleground […]
A lot of “anti-system” folks are focusing on Trump’s shenanigans while ignoring the neocons’ attempted comeback by colonizing the Democratic Party and embedding themselves in the Trump administration simultaneously while trying to ride the wave of protests to power. Gottfried predicts a minor league “Night of the Long […]
That would be hilarious. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to the news that Trump is open to having podcast host Joe Rogan as a debate moderator for one of the presidential debates.
Imagine that. Radio Host and author, Cooper Lawrence, discusses her book, “Celebritocracy: The Misguided Agenda of Celebrity Politics in a Postmodern Democracy.”

A conman capitulated to the neocons. Who could’ve guessed?
Derrick Broze actually shows up in this and talks sense to these voting-mongers.
“Please, please, vote for me!”-Donald Trump
So FOX is posing as the antiwar channel now? Except for when the beneficiaries are Israel and Saudi Arabia, of course.
Are Latinos going to be the new “white ethnics?”
All of this intra-ruling class intrigue is hilarious. It reminds me of the Medici of the Italian Renaissance era, although the Medici were classier and more stylish.
A heel vs heel match brewing. I have no problem with Portland being a far-left micronation.
I would have no problem with Rhode Island being a “progressive” micronation just as I would have no problem with CHAZ being a left-anarchist micronation or rural Pennsylvania being an Amish micronation.
Milquetoast social democrat David Pakman pumps up police state uber-bitch Kamala Harris merely because she knows how to talk, even if she’s telling lies every time she opens her mouth.
The Democrats are the party of the financial elites and tech-oligarchs, with the professional-managerial class and their primary constituents, and the Republicans of the part of old capitalism, with the with post-bourgeois proletariat (the dying working to middle classes) as their primary constituents. The kind of old-fashioned 19th/20th […]

By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Joseph Biden killed the liberal social justice warrior with a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger at the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, and blue lives were called in to matter, and his weapon took […]
Bad idea. Taking the electoral system seriously is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
No matter who wins, the other side will likely claim the winner cheated, with endless legal maneuvering and probable violence being the result.
The modern ruling class doesn’t bother with state-imposed censorship and instead farms it out to corporations, social media companies, and universities, which is why the First Amendment needs to be expanded to include all of these institutions. It’s the same as when they don’t bother setting up a […]
I’m curious to see how these People’s Party advocates think they are going to get around the financial and legal limitations on upstart parties, or why they think their party is going to perform any better than other minor parties. The only way the People’s Party could become […]
The upcoming election is going to be a total shitshow. No matter who wins the other side is going to insist the election results were illegitimate. It’s going to be the Bush v. Gore election on steroids.
An effort to bring the Scandinavian model of state-capitalism to America. The recently deceased Marxist YouTuber Michael Brooks argued that the global capitalist class seems to be experimenting with different political models, including conservative nationalism (Orban, Bolsonaro, Erdogan, Salvini, Putin, Xi, Duterte, Trump), technocratic neoliberalism (the dominant model […]
By William S. Lind Traditional Right The way the Presidential election is shaping up, most of the big issues will not be openly stated. They include race, with the Republicans the White party and the Democrats the black and immigrant party; socialism, with the Democrats in favor and […]
Go, Kanye, go. This is exactly what we need. More and more unhinged lunatics coming out of the woodwork to make the system look as ridiculous as possible. By Tal Axelrod The Hill Rapper Kanye West is suing the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) to get his name on […]
The Democrats are basically the same as the neoliberal parties in Latin America and slightly to the right of the neoliberal parties in Europe. Kim’s correct that the Republicans are moving slightly leftward while the Democrats are moving rightward.
There is a discussion in this which references how both sides seem to be planning on saying the election was illegitimate if they lose.
Will Trump’s Nixonian strategy work?
This actually makes sense to some degree. Marine Le Pen’s strongest districts are the ones that used to go for the French Communist Party.
This #WalkAway thing is another dead end. The Left has accused #WalkAway of being a Russian front operation the same way McCarthyites used to claim everything on the Left was a Soviet front. It seems more likely that all of these “back and forth” groups are being encouraged […]
A George W. Bush loyalist says he prefers Bernie over Trump. Neocons and Antifa United Against the Orange Fuhrer! By Suzanne Smalley Yahoo News Stuart Stevens has been a top strategist for Republican presidential candidates George W. Bush and Mitt Romney. His knack for advertising and media has […]
A “worst” night for the GOP would be an off-the-scale disaster as opposed to the usual merely pathetic norm.
I would like to see a party of this type emerge. It would probably be a total SJW shitshow, and I wouldn’t vote for it. But it would still be interesting/entertaining. I definitely appreciate West’s admission that an anti-Trumpist axis ranging from Maoists to neocons has emerged in […]
The QAnon of the neoliberals.
Keeping Biden in the basement is probably a bad strategy for the Dems, but letting him out of the strategy would be an even worse strategy. If I were a Democratic Party strategist, my advice would be to keep him from getting anywhere near a camera or a […]
Donnie Jr.’s plastic surgery disaster of a girlfriend trying to do her Eva Peron impersonation. Sorry, Kim, but Eva did it better.
But is the “post-bourgeois proletariat” (Sam Francis) stupid enough to fall for it? That’s the question. Krystal and Saager are unique among the journalistic class in the sense of actually being competent and truthful. Most mainstream media is neither. It’s a shame their politics are such lame reformist-statist […]
The spectacle of neocons and Trumpists shooting at each other does not sound entirely unappealing. Saager’s analysis in this is pretty solid. The GOP, barring radical changes, seems destined to be a regionally based fringe party in what will amount to a one-party state.
Uh, dude, they were done with “blue-collar workers” in 1972. You’re almost 50 years behind the times, bro. Dutton strategy, dude, Dutton strategy.
Trump has made comments like this as well.
I don’t personally care who wins the upcoming election. I can see strategic advantages to victory by either side. But I strongly suspect that regardless of who wins the losing side will accuse the winning side of cheating. A reader writes: “…if [the Trumpists] are able to successfully […]
The Democraps: A coalition of liberals, social democrats, neocons, Republicans, identitarians, and assorted dupes in the defense of the ruling class. Martin Wolf, a former World Bank economist, said this a few years ago: “Liberals, social democrats, and moderate conservatives are on the same side in the great […]
If only it were true. The way the Republitards portray the ultra-corporatist, ultra-imperialist, ultra-police statist Democrats as a collection of anarchists and revolutionary Marxists is hilarious. What’s even more hilarious is that there are dumbasses who actually take this shit seriously. By Laura Egan NBC News WASHINGTON — […]
