The only focus going forward should be class war and destroying wealth inequality NOT culture wars, feelings and vibes. You can't solve anything else until this rigged system is freed from the stranglehold of concentrated capital at the top.

H/T CLRJ "The race question is subsidiary to the class question in politics, and to think of imperialism in terms of race is disastrous. But to neglect the racial factor as merely incidental as an error only less grave than to make it fundamental." It's not one or the other, it's both...
“The right wing continues to push an economic system that has moved as much as $50 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 10% since 1981 while exploding the annual budget deficit and the national debt.”
Culture wars are so effective because they are so easy to instigate. Like X, starting wars with other individuals is easier than attacking systems. Trump isn't the problem, the whole structure that created him, is; a culture that creates a constant stream of "revenge heroes" out of Hollywood.
Most people are not educated about economics, and only know the very basics, if that. It is therefore not so difficult, to misguide most people about what is best for them.

And this is why I voted Socialist in my comfortably Blue state. I don't want another election, I want a people's peaceful revolution. THEN we can have elections.
Absolutely, but the concentration of capital/wealth in the hands of a few and the power that comes with that is making it difficult to make progress on the most important issues such as climate change.
Key problem (as in it needs to be fixed first) is oligarch control of the media. The Dems are fucked now because they wouldn’t go there when they had mandates.
Corporate media is oligarch owned and we need to educate people to stop watching/reading it if they want the truth. Plenty of new independent media rising.
6 Billionaires own the majority of mainstream media. That, sadly, is how it works 😕
It's correct to say that we have to locate & use any not owned by them.
That is how we permit it to work. 6 people don’t get to own the media unless power is ceded to them by our elected representatives ……… ie by us. Don’t lay down and die for 6 mega rich fuckers people, vote for (or create) candidates who support addressing media ownership concentration and integrity.
Haven't we already seen the end result of electoral politics in a openly corrupt system? We don't have 20 years to do incremental change of a rep here or there while the oligarchy runs wild with bipartisan support. They already own the system, we can't beat them at the game they bought 30 years ago
💯 yes - because it's the historical structure of the skeletons and bones that Capitalism has hung it's 'meat' off of - those at the top end of the skeleton, the skull? Usually Patriarchal and White Supremacists.
Fascism & Right Wing folk?
Same brand here too 🫤

The 17th century obsession with good & evil in 2025 is concerning!
