      America unironically needs its own version of either the manifesto, state and rev, or something.

        True. And perhaps I, the one true leftist on this site, shall write it, and thence lead the vanguard party from within the White House!

          I’m the only leftist here. Everyone else is a lib.

    No, this is the big brain play. You see there was recently a political movement whose flagship desire was medicate for all and there have been over 2 months of consecutive protests to defund the police, right? If a cop who wants some dumbass private healthcare bullshit is a Marxist, then there are bound to be some suburbanites who think, "well maybe Marxism isn't so bad, Marxists aren't the chaotic evil I thought they were." The overton window then relaxes outward to the left. That's when we strike! They're lulled into a false sense of security and suddenly - BAM! We steal hundreds upon thousands of toothbrushes (since we don't believe in private property) and use them to fund the revolution. Easy fucking peazy 😎

      I mean, if it didn't involve inviting opportunists into self-identifying as Marxists, yeah, basically. same reason BLM getting called antifa and anarchists is essentially good for us.

          even more than that, I'm worried about what's happening right now with "socialist" becoming another synonym for liberal. communist and Marxist are so far the only names that have resisted all such recuperation.

    Time for a guessing game - are these pathetic excuses for propagandists wilfully misleading people dumb enough to buy their bullshit, or do they actually believe this shit.

        Maybe they believe the made up Jordan Peterson definition of cultural marxism applies to some of their most recent social stances, like the ones from after the riots.

        Either way ot doesnt matter, just the fact that people consider TPUSA anything else than a sad parody means that is all over for you guys in electoral politics, direct action is the only hope.

          I really want to know what made them call themselves TP? Doesn’t seem to be the most appealing acronym.

            This people are often very smart hacking and looting in the short term but incredibly removed in the long term, then they turn to your pockets through printing, deregulation, scams and wage servitude to refill for another cycle.

            Im not saying reactionaries are removed because that would be underestimating the enemy, but Its an outlook that I found out holds a lot of value when trying to make sense of some of the hills they choose to die on.

      Biden at least is kinda broke for a politician.

      Probably thats why we found out about his rapes.

          Dont know really. I just heard from someone here that he was considering selling his family house over his son medical bills.

          After being in politics for what it feels like a millennia thats being kinda broke IMO.

          Maybe its all lies and he made the charade of not having the money to score points, you never know with this demons.

              Yeah I agree.

              Dont sweat the house thing, is better to rent a run down place and keep it clean than to work 3 days a weak for your landlord.

          Joe Biden currently has a net worth of 11 Million I think. So no, he isnt Broke. However, I believe that his only real source of income for many years was working in congress, which would have placed him in the upper middle class, or lower upper class.

    I think the Dems being spineless in the face of Trump and the Republicans corruption is what they should be scared of.

      Trump had Hillary dead to rights, and knew how to hit her where it hurts back when his whole job was scrolling through Twitter and laying down hot takes.

      I don't know what's happened over the last four years, but he's lost a healthy chunk of his panache. He's stumbling. He's repetitive. He's tired. He's not the guy that won in 2016.

      If he repeats, it's not going to be by how he did it last time.
