Nope
Let me guess … the plan is to reach across the table and compromise … then move on and not dwell on this dark time in history.
Yep, just like last time.
There’s a rough consensus that the world is transitioning to a new order, but no one really has any idea what the world is moving toward
Cap’ns got a new text document on his hat
Did someone seriously screenshot their desktop to send a meme?
Try finding it without the text document on it… bet you can’t… I’ve fucking tried.
You’ll have to crop the sides off to get rid of the imgflip and ifunny watermarks (which is no big deal because it’d still be the same size as your version), but here ya go:
Took me all of 30 seconds to find in a DDG image search for “cyberpunk dystopia meme.”
Dystopian behaviour
whatever it is, it cant be centrism. Centrism cant win elections. I’m just assuming there will be elections in the post trump order.
meanwhile in australia, the far right leader of the opposition got SLAUGHTERED in the election because he was too far right, while the centre party won by a fucking landslide.
I’d bet that Australias lack of systemic corruption is going to inflate the hell out of the AUD. I should move my funds over while the rates are still reasonable. In the past year USD:AUS exchange rate has gone from .63 USD per AUD to .71 USD per AUD. Thats a huge rate of return.
I have secret footage of the Democrats’ plan to recruit Progressives to vote for them:
They don’t yet have a plan for a Current-Trump world.
They don’t
yethave a planfor a Current-Trump world.
“Whatever the rich people tell us to do, same as always.”
In Munich, U.S. Secretary of State Marcio Rubio proposed a “new Western century,” built around a manufactured claim of shared Christian and white heritage, propped up by an elementary-school understanding of world history.
Lol
Whine ineffectually?
The party policy platform gets redrafted every 4 years, so the 24 plan runs until the 28 plan is drafted. SOURCE Same plan as ever:
Tax the rich
Remove money from politics
Fight poverty
Support bodily autonomy and human rights
Regulate industry
Uphold the laws even on against our own
In addition I think it’s very clear that they will recontinue the USAID program that saved millions of lives overseas, and despite the irreparable harm of the Trump admin I think it will be well received when they do. They will also stop enforcing the Trump Tariffs which he never even had the power to implement in the first place.
They have not had enough senators (more than 48) to do much of anything outside of bipartisan bills and cramming everything into funding bills for over 13 years. If they can accomplish this, though, I think positive foreign relations will naturally form and that the majority of trade and mutual defence, though not all of it, will return.
The article clarified “Democrats” as in the ones who went to Germany, not the party as a whole.
So there was answers from AOC as well Newsom, and they were vastly different
Newsom is fucking clueless. Whether or not Trump is gone in three years (and none of us are banking on that), the voters who elected him, twice, are still around.
This is the thing that way too many Americans still can’t their head around. Our problem isn’t with Trump. Not really. Our real problem is America. And we’re done getting burned for being your friends.
Newsom is fucking clueless.
Not at all. He knows what his rich donors like.
the voters who elected him, twice, are still around.
Buddy, when Gallup stopped polling it, he was like 29% approval? Maybe 27%?
our problem is America
The problem is oligarchs and that neoliberals and Republicans both tried to give them anything they wanted for 30 years.
That’s over, the neoliberls lost the DNC a year ago. Like, I get your feeling, 16 months ago I felt the same.
But a lot of shit has happened you don’t seem up to speed on
Buddy, we’re up to speed on all of it. And I’m glad, I’m glad for all of you that Trump’s approval is cratering, that progressives might have a chance to take over the DNC. Those are good things. I’m excited to see the resistance coming out of Minnesota. I’m happy that there is a real hunger for change.
But you’re not out here with us. You don’t see what’s going on outside the US.
We’re done. We’re done with your bullshit. We want the best for you, we want decent Americans to get their country back… But it’s like wanting to see your brother kick the drug habit and sort his shit out. It doesn’t mean you’re suddenly going to let him watch the house for a week.
Say you kick out Trump again… Why is this time going to be any different from 2020? From 2008? As a nation, you guys have a problem, and that road to recovery, and rebuilding trust, is going to be a lot longer than just getting your six month chit. We’ll cheer for you, but we’re done saddling our fortunes to the whims of a bunch of racist morons in Iowa or fucking wherever. The world is pivoting away from the US, because we can no longer afford to put our trust in a nation whose voters simply do not take the responsibility that comes with all that power seriously.
The part of Carney’s speech that struck the strongest chord with the world wasn’t when he said that the old order is over. It’s when he reminded us all that it was only ever a compromise to begin with. We accepted a world led by the US, because it was just good enough and easy enough, and we put up with all the costs and burdens that came with that. And yeah, a lot of that is on us, because we didn’t want to do the hard work of building something better. But it was never exactly great having our fortunes saddled to yours. Do you know that in 2008 Canadian banks basically rode out the financial crisis unscathed, because unlike the US, we didn’t massively deregulate our financial sector in the 80s? And yet, we were still plunged into a recession, because we get to eat shit for every bad decision our ally makes. Do you know that when Trump came after us in his first term with all his tariffs, we literally just dusted off the playbooks we’ve written over decades of dealing with that exact scenario, because we’re just used to the US deciding every few years that it’s time to beat up our economy?
This goes so much deeper than just Trump, and until Americans can see that, there’s never going to be any hope of rebuilding the trust you’ve lost.
This goes so much deeper than just Trump
You’re right, but solving the immediate problem is a necessary precondition to solving the bigger, deeper problem. And we haven’t solved the immediate problem yet.
That’s fair but I think the party platform represents the party better than a few extremes.
But no one is talking about “the party” except you…
Because you just read the headline, and even after I explicitly clarified for you, it still seems like you don’t understand.
Edit:
Not to mention the 2024 platform was Biden/Kamala and before Martin took over the party.
Like, logically what you did makes absolutely zero sense bud. Those platforms are for if the Dems candidate wins…
When the Headline is a Question you will recieve an Answer.
We need something besides AOC vs Newsom vs Vance.
This is true, but it will be a real miracle if we even end up with AOC vs Vance instead of Newsom vs Vance
Part of me is thinking AOC - D, Vance - R, Newsom - I.
Newsom being I is the same reason Cuomo went I.
The Democrats don’t seem to have a plan for 5 minutes from now, let alone for 3 or so years in the future.
But it sounds like they’re in good company. Established politicians all over Europe seem lost by the current direction of global politics. Based on thus sticks there’s lots of vague ideals with no implementation - more than you’d even expect to see normally.
And the Republican party is getting witlessly dragged along in the wake of those running the Trump administration. And it seems like even those ‘masterminds’ are just aggressively winging it based on the high-level objectives they outlined in Project 2025.
Everyone is lost and stumbling around in the dark. Some might have a faded glow stick in their hand, but that’s not much help.
No, they will keep everything trump has implemented and blame a rotating villain when they preformativly try and repeal some of the changes
Most of the changes aren’t law so they don’t need approval from anyone else to be repealed. Whether or not that means they’ll actually do that is the question, but if they don’t the only villain is the president.
There’s a rough consensus that the world is transitioning to a new order, but no one really has any idea what the world is moving toward.
I think the new world order should be international democracy and the rule of law. But, laws require enforcement and that means some kind of global government entity must be created that has the authority to enact and enforce laws.
That’s essentially the role the US has filled since the end of WWII. We have been the unofficial world police. Some people don’t want that to change, but there are a couple of reasons why it should. One, the US is unelected and unaccountable. For a state to govern legitimately, it must have the consent of the governed. Outside of NATO, and perhaps a few other countries, no consent was given to the US, nor did the US care to seek consent. Two, the US has primarily pursued our own interests, and that of our allies. That’s thuggery, not the rule of law.
Of course, what should happen and will happen aren’t necessarily the same thing, unfortunately.
For a state to govern legitimately, it must have the consent of the governed.
So anarchism it is then, ;)
