What does that even mean?Marxism is too deterministic.
That Marxists like Holy_Seduction try to fit current events into the framework of Marxist theory and think they can predict the future that way. It never works. All theories of historical determinism are fundamentally flawed.What does that even mean?
Kind of like how polls showed that Harris was neck and neck with Trump and expected to pull it off. That kind of prediction of the future...That Marxists like Holy_Seduction try to fit current events into the framework of Marxist theory and think they can predict the future that way.

I can confidently predict that the midterm elections will go against the Pubs, just because they almost always do go against the party that holds the White House. But what happens after that depends on what the Dems do with their Congressional majority.Kind of like how polls showed that Harris was neck and neck with Trump and expected to pull it off.

How, so very wrong that came out. Didn't take a Marxist to see the daylight after the election did it?
How the hell to 'fix' that is got to happen within the next two years or we will face another 'Trump' at the helm.
You just literally said Marxism can't predict the future! So here you are, a legal beagle of no particular noteworthiness gazing into your crystal ball, and you can predict that midterms will go against Republicans... because...?I can confidently predict that the midterm elections will go against the Pubs, just because they almost always do go against the party that holds the White House.

Because it's a repeating pattern in American history specifically. Not some general law of historical necessity.You just literally said Marxism can't predict the future! So here you are, a legal beagle of no particular noteworthiness gazing into your crystal ball, and you can predict that midterms will go against Republicans... because...?
Are you deliberately trying to be obtuse?Assuming "The United States is passing from existence" is not going to help us adapt better.
So consider yourself challenged to innovate and/or evolve a solitary, feasible political solution to any major crisis which could be practically implemented.‘ … humans aren’t dinosaurs …’
I didn’t say it was. It was the constitution which I referenced as a dead letter.evidence that democracy is not a "dead letter."
This approaches our current milieu from the perspective that in the course of interaction, we’ve picked up a few bad habits. If we set these aside and [in some Pollyannaish way] believe in this glorious system and Party, we’ll get the needed ‘reset’ and return to ‘normal times’ just as we have in other times of existential crisis. We need reformers! We need activists! We need engaged citizens!‘insult, we can focus on rebuilding civic trust, strengthening democratic norms, and engaging in meaningful debate.’
Remember when the term, ‘paid troll’ hit the internet?‘I definitely believe you are a lawyer at this point!’
As in a slightly less vile Democratic Party that actually applies a modicum of pressure to the GOP? With that reactionary rabble*?‘ .., actually be a progressive party for a change.’
Every Democrat currently gaslighting those who insufficiently backed Harris would, had she won, supported the Gaza genocide.‘… a not-great but not-terrible candidate when s/he is the only one who can stop a genuinely horrible one.’
I feel substantially confident saying that at some point, the ‘but we can’t do anything’ Democrats will deny that claim and tell us how they opposed Elonald Trusk all along.I can confidently predict that the midterm elections will go against the Pubs, just because they almost always do go against the party that holds the White House. But what happens after that depends on what the Dems do with their Congressional majority.
Wrong. I mean, I already knew the far left was just as prone to misinformation as the far right, but this...wow.Every Democrat currently gaslighting those who insufficiently backed Harris would, had she won, supported the Gaza genocide.

Class relations are not the driver of all political policies and events. A Marxist analysis grossly oversimplifies the picture.Needed is a response to class relations as the driver of all political policies and events.
The far left in America is not powerful enough to hand nobody nuttin'.It’s what they have to tell themselves after effectively handing President Musk (and DonOld, etc) TOTAL CONTROL.
It’s the Democrats fault that Hamas attacked Israel and that the far left responded by handing President Musk (and DonOld,etc) TOTAL CONTROL.

Trump kind of missed the boat on tariffs.Oh my! Most Americans are happy with their choice.

Public favors them on China. Not on Europe, Mexico, and Canada. Negotiations underway. Nobody wants a trade war. Illegal drugs, illegal aliens, and opening markets on the table.Trump kind of missed the boat on tariffs.
If Trump tries to impose a 25% tariff on imports from China, he will find Wal-mart has an extraconstitutional but very real veto power.Public favors them on China. Not on Europe, Mexico, and Canada.

Nah.If Trump tries to impose a 25% tariff on imports from China, he will find Wal-mart has an extraconstitutional but very real veto power.
Trump might think he's all-powerful as against Congress and the courts, but not even he can gainsay the business interests. Nothing will ever be done that threatens their short-term profits.Nah.
What matters is what Americans think. Most Americans approve of our President in his first three weeks. Embrace the change.Trump might think he's all-powerful as against Congress and the courts, but not even he can gainsay the business interests.

Not really.What matters is what Americans think. Most Americans approve of our President in his first three weeks. Embrace the change.
Yeah, really. Americans matter. CBS poll out last night. Americans approve by solid majorities overall and on top issues.Not really.
Americans are deeply divided over Donald Trump’s plans and the way he is handling his job in the early weeks of his return to the presidency.
Overall, 47% of U.S. adults approve of how Trump is handling his job as president, while 51% say they disapprove. And most of these views are strongly held: 37% strongly approve of his performance, while 40% strongly disapprove.
Roughly a third (35%) say they support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, with 17% saying they support some of them. Nearly half of adults (47%) say they support only a few or none of his plans.
Well best tell that to Trump, he just decided to enact tariffs again....fucking idiot that he is.Public favors them on China. Not on Europe, Mexico, and Canada. Negotiations underway. Nobody wants a trade war. Illegal drugs, illegal aliens, and opening markets on the table.
