This is from a report put out by the Transitional Integrity Project, a "bipartisan group of over 100 current and former senior government and campaign leaders, academics, journalists, polling experts and former federal and state government."

In actuality, the project is all Democrats or "Never Trump" Republicans, including:

  • John Podesta, former White House Chief of Staff
  • Donna Brazile, former Democratic National Committee Acting Chair
  • Michael Steele, former chair of the Republican National Committee
  • Max Boot, journalist
  • David Frum, journalist

This is not a joke. Liberal media has been covering this story and linking to this article [1] [2] [3] But they only mention the parts about Trump refusing to concede.

Right-wing media is talking about this angle, where Biden refuses to concede. Workers must have a full understanding of what is going on, so we can prepare & respond to the coming months.

I know some people here will be like, "oh that can't be right, aren't Democratic and Republicans on the same team." No, they are not. They both want to crush any working class power, but there are serious contradictions within the bourgeois class.

One faction of the bourgeoisie wanted to slowly contain China & Russia through building exclusionary trade agreements (TPP) and maintaining relationships with Europe. This would build towards world war at a slower pace. They see war with China & Russia right now as suicide for their class.

Another faction want to crush China & Russia immediately because they recognize the rate at which these two nations are building their productive base. They see a war later down the line as harder to win.

As the contradiction of capitalism heightens, and the American Empire fumbles under Trump, the former faction is under more and more pressure to act. Their "Russian collusion" plan and impeachment failed tremendously.

Now we are in a position where neither faction will recognize the election results, which will likely be the end of "liberal democracy" in the US.

    our bourgeoisie unified around social democracy the last time this happened. this kind of balkanization won't allow them to do that (or unify on fascism, either, for that matter). this will be the long and shitty kind of war, with ephemeral factions and fighting that can't be stopped for a decade or more, especially as the whole world is brought into it by virtue of our position as the head of empire. at least the rest of the world will be free at that point to have their communist revolutions, I guess, but the only hope for us is that we take a slower path to war - we allow this state to collapse in the face of mass anger, allow the liberals to form a provisional government and call a constitutional convention, and start organizing an alternative power structure to that new state immediately. then we get to take up the call "all power to the councils". if the hot shooting war kicks off before that, we're all going to spend the rest of our lives fighting a guerilla war.
