Oh I admit that was a bit of a hope on my part regarding Biden (I would just find it more amusing if he lost and I think Trump is better for the rise of socialism as he is weakening US imperialism with his ignorance) I admit it may not weaken him but it brings joy and mirth to be to think of liberals being unable to use it as a point of shame with the more skeptical Bernie-liberal types and their frustration is amusing.
As to it depressing Republican turn-out. I don't think so. The people who most care about that are Evangelicals and they are going to turn out maximally for him after he's successfully taken the court for them because they will be celebrating in the hope Roe v Wade will soon be dead. If it had happened last year, yeah maybe, but the excited high of totally controlling the court for the next few decades is going to drive them out. Anyways they're kind of beyond needing the court issue. Evangelicals are deeply fascistic and love Trump just for playing the strongman. You're frankly ignorant of Republican intra-party politics if you think this will depress their turn-out. Trust me when I say the Republicans who care about the court are pretty reliable voters, they vote in off-years as well.
You have blinders on. You strike me as fearful because you genuinely and ignorantly believe the US can be saved or turned "progressive". That it isn't an evil empire that always has been but which has decayed to the point the internal liberal peace is breaking down. This is a matter of not merely social conditions but material.
What about my take do you disagree with? I already said the Biden losing was more a hope than a prediction. Do you honestly think there is a strong case that Biden winning is better for socialism and class consciousness development within the US? Do you seriously think there is a case that Biden winning would result in better decline of US power and reach as an empire?
Notice I don't claim to know what will happen exactly. The strong predictive power of scientific socialism is limited to macro level developments. I'm simply hypothesizing along likely lines and developments. My number one goal is the weakening of US hegemony. I think that is a necessary requisite for socialism anywhere and eventual communism.
As I am the only true leftist on this website, clearly everyone else here is liberals, but if you strive to be like me in word, deed and thought then while you won't ever be a leftist like me, you can grow to be less of a lib.
In imitating my "only true leftist" bit and calling everyone who disagrees with them a :LIB: @darkcalling approaches true leftism. By speaking against this bit you have sinned and risk me thinking you're less cool.
My current policy is if I think you're super cool after your account gets banned I might try to doxx you and message you about being friends IRL.
I'm working up to the bit where I get my account temp banned for three days before logging off semi-permanently and after that I might relax my standards for IRL meetups a bit. IDK tho.

lmao
Just because I don't think that things will turn out the way you think doesn't make me a liberal. Jesus.
That's not a strong denial but okay.

I'm not a liberal and you're being an asshole about it. I don't feel like talking to someone who's being an asshole.
I mean, I see it kinda like Christianity.
