    Confused? Take a look at global politics. The right-wing conservatives / fascists are winning everywhere.

    There is not a chance in hell that a progressive candidate will win in the US in at least the next decade or two.

    I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if California became a swing state (if the US remains a democracy) by 2032.

    The swing in the presidential contest to Republicans in California was accompanied by a rejection of progressive ballot measures and a near-universal swing against progressive local candidates.

      They’re winning because they’ve mastered the art of manipulation via social media. Culture wars and 9 second clips. It won’t last, and lefties are going to start speaking to their base again once people see through the manipulation and bullshit.
