i understood your point very well. My point (which i deleted because other commenters had already made similar points and with more detail than i was planning) is that your example of a victory is in fact a loss.
Mumdani is a release valve to stop radical change from happening, a compatible liberal gatekeeper who will take the passion of his electorate and destroy it by a thousand disappointments.
He is a democrat, who surrounds himself with zionists. The only radical thing about him is his identity. He is a muslim Obama, a brown-face genderswapped AOC. He is there because of his identity and his vibes.
If Bernie had won Iowa and if the DNC was at all democratic in its internal processes (superdelegates, ticket-splitting, pied piper etc) then i would share some of your optimism for internal change. We don’t live in that world. A world where people like MTG are allowed to evolve beyond partisan lines, where Massie is able to defend his constitution…
I also don’t want to blackpill you guys into inaction, so i’ll finish this mostly redundant post by saying the american people seem ready for change. The numbers of people hitting the streets to fight ICE is inspiring, and a much more concrete reason to hope than a bunch of exhausted and politically illiterate new yorkers protest voting for a god damn fucking democrat.
a january 6 except for real? there would be some poetic justice in that particular imperial boomerang returning home. But nah your glow-agencies have probably gamed things out enough to avoid that. I’m thinking they keep doing damage control and limping along until a combination of natural disasters and geostrategic blowback makes things unmanageable for the elites who lack the foresight to abandon their sinking ship.
Rolling waves of general strikes have real potential also.
Progressives never really got their version of a tea-party, and occupy never really fulfilled its potential. It could be that a new popular force will emerge to replace MAGA which inherits from these unfinished projects.
Occupy would be especially salient given dedollarisation and the inevitable financial crash which will happen along the way. Even normies are expecting ai to crash and are watching gold prices lol
The progressives are never going to have their Tea Party and revolutionary group for the same reason that the right gained so much power, the left threw away its power to try to fight some kind of “higher road” battle, discarding the flag, rejecting guns, and offering only criticism towards people who otherwise feel themselves in comfortable lives.
The left in America is never going to do a Jan 6th because the left in America is not a revolutionary group, very, very far from it. They’re the side trying to protect people and the environment, which is morally and ethically good and needed, but that doesn’t change power structure, so I’m perpetually confused when people think we’re close to revolution. Understand power systems and political capital and what backs those things up. It’s not the “high road.”
We don’t even have militias, much less an army willing to march lockstep alongside people who make them uncomfortable.
The only chance of seeing some kind of liberal revolution actually do things that destroy the system would be if the average median American gets very, very uncomfortable.
Drive through the countless cul-de-sacs and suburban human-hatcheries in the US and tell me how uncomfortable everyone looks. Most people are fine with their lives, and most people will be forever untouched by agencies like ICE. These are the people who have the second kind of power that moves countries, they are the breadbasket of easy-to-acquire revenue and labor, they are the ripe field that everyone with control is going to do everything to appease and keep comfortable.
Our chances for change are still highest right now with procedure and electoral politics, but we also can make GREAT strides with changing culture if more people can start promoting re-socialization and rebuilding communities, that is my reference to Mamdani, not that I think he’s going to “save” anyone or anything, but an example of how we can push the needle.
You have to accept that needle-pushing is all we have realistically. There are far, far too many comfortable people to accept radical change. Even if you did it and got enough people together to do a Libby Jan 6th, there are tens of millions of people who didn’t ask for that and will reject it and you have to live with them after. I know it’s frustrating, but in this game you either focus on the power you have and can muster, or you stay fantasizing about a revolution built on dreams and fantasies.

What else do you think is going to happen? Do you think there’s going to be a coup in the US?
