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.

    The pipeline is not producing anything except for profits for the Russian bourgeoisie.

    Yes, that is how the means of production work in a capitalist state.

    I'm not saying Russia is an ally. I am saying they are an enemy of the American bourgeoisie. I do not understand why it is so difficult for people to understand that there are real divisions within the bourgeoisie. That seems to be a common trend in this thread.

    Any opposition it shows to the hegemon is pure trolling

    This is ahistorical. They are a weak global power that wants to be a part of a counter-hegemony which opposes NATO expansion into Russia.

      But it doesn't matter what they want. The space they might want is already well occupied by bigger players and the Russian state is so terminally corrupt that even any strategy for expansion they devise falls apart immediately due to personal greed and internal contradictions within the Russian bourgeoisie which are at least as large as the contradictions between the global bourgeoisie. Ironically the only source for Russia growing in power is the climate collapse, as it will free up more frozen land for resource extraction and selling off at a premium. Needless to say the Russian citizenry, unless they ever mount a new socialist revolution, will not see anything besides ever increasing austerity and neglect.
