Thoughts from the Hive-mind

The Democrats gave the Republicans the White House in 2024, courtesy of their actions in 2021, after demonstrating that even with full control of the House, Senate, and White House, they could not deliver on their promises or meet the people's demands. Instead, they prioritized the interests of the right, capitalists, and corporations, making their agendas possible. The Democrats' subsequent capitulation to Israel and attempts to provoke a global conflict against BRICS nations cemented their electoral fate.

When it comes to women and minorities who voted for Trump, the left doesn't have a monolithic monopoly on those groups. Approximately 40% of women don't support the feminist ideology and admit to using such things like token resistance. Furthermore, I've argued for years that individuals with capitalist and supremacist mentalities exist across all demographics, not just among males or Caucasians but people still think only those of European descent and skin pigmentation can hold those qualities.

Both establishment parties in the U.S. are authoritarian right with negligible differences. Harris' loss can be attributed to her shift rightward of Biden's policies. Like most Democrats, she prioritized the middle and lower upper class, neglecting the needs of the lower and poverty classes. Her continuation of genocidal policies, embrace of the uniparty, and refusal to address policy questions contributed to her downfall. Harris' haughty demeanor, which cost her the 2020 primaries, persisted; she is an egotistical place holder desiring power and attention.

I am unclear whether Kamala's team guided her towards a misguided strategy or if she charted her own course, with her advisors merely providing counsel aligned with her direction. Either way, her selection of Tim Walz proved disastrous. Walz's appearance on the John Stewart show was particularly damaging, as he openly acknowledged the uniparty phenomenon. When asked about Cheney and Republican endorsements, Walz exclaimed, "We're a big tent! We're a big tent!" - a statement that underscored the Democrats' willingness to accommodate conservative interests and blur party lines.

When it comes to the debate, it was said Harris got the questions ahead of time, so she had time to rehearse the answers, with live interviews, she was weak because she didn't know what was coming. There are even videos of people mouthing the words to her answers to questions at town halls.

Democrats serve as a ratchet effect, expending minimal effort to prevent the country from moving further left. Occasionally, this means winning elections when Republicans field weak opponents. Ultimately, both parties aim to enslave the nation. I've argued for a while now that a freer market leads to greater enslavement of the people. This is evident in the desires of two extremist ideologies: the authoritarian right seeks to reduce citizens to indentured servitude, while the anti-authoritarian right, where ancaps reside, desires to enslave everyone.

People vote based on rhetoric and indoctrination. This is why I believe capitalism is a deeply ingrained mentality. Some individuals want capitalism with safety nets, while others do not. This distinction largely differentiates Democrat and Republican voters. Before anyone complains about that statement, those who are not indoctrinated recognize that both parties lean heavily right-wing.

They don't vote third party because they're swayed by the rhetoric and also because they don't align with their ideologies and policies. Both dominant parties are right-wing authoritarian, and most Americans lean right-wing. This translates to support for social Darwinism, prioritizing individual gain (egoism) or state control (etatism), as seen in the recent presidential election where that rhetoric resonated with many voters.

Third parties, like all organizations, have room for improvement. Vanguard parties such as the PSL and big tent parties like the Greens must refine their membership. The PSL has anti-vaxxers, while the Greens have libertarians and disgruntled MAGA supporters of both major parties, not to mention a 'Green MAGA' faction. Third parties must distance themselves from unbecoming elements to maintain integrity.

And then on top of that we live in a capitalist system that installed pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth into every aspect of culture and society around the world as virtues. People only care about their own self-interests, their own self-preservation, and don't care about anyone else's.

In the 21st century, it's essential to recognize that the Democratic Party is a diverse coalition comprising conservative socialists, conservatives, neo-liberals, and corporatists. This diversity has been reflected in their candidates and politicians over the past three presidential election cycles, spanning the last decade. They are so far right that no rational person could mistake them for anything near a resemblance of a leftist.

Now is the time to focus on grassroots and local elections, building communities and movements to create a powerful force that can support federal candidates in two years. This approach will not only strengthen our collective voice but also uplift and empower the people involved in the process.

When it comes to COVID-19, we must take a firm stance: require people to mask and vaccinate. If they refuse, we must show non tolerance and cut them off. For those who cannot vaccinate, continued masking and social distancing are non-negotiable. We must prioritize public health and safety above individual preferences.

I've been masking since spring 2020 and haven't had cold or flu synonyms since, that's January would be 6 years. And we could stop it with lockdowns and forcing people to stay in their homes as evident elsewhere but people put individual liberties before the well-being of humanity.

There were and are people who say their rights/liberties come before people's lives and that if they wanted to be around others and get sick or get others sick, it was their right. So it's not that people need to think about others, it's people don't think about others period.

As for unbecoming attitudes and behaviors, every group, party, and movement has its share of problematic individuals. We must stop euphemistically labeling conflicts as 'infighting' and instead acknowledge the need to address and rectify intolerable behavior; incalling is a necessity. Furthermore, we must recognize irreconcilable differences and be willing to separate from groups if necessary. Temporary alliances can be formed, but we must understand that our core values and identities may not align, and such alliances are inherently fleeting. This is the new normal, we are not one, and not everyone is meant for a big tent, and not everyone is becoming of being an ally.
