That's funny, but I don't think it's quite right.

Establishment parties across the EU and OECD countries (mostly liberal democracies) all had their incumbent parties lose ground in 2024, for the first time in history.

People know they want something to change, but right now it's only the fascists promising to do so.

Oh, I jumped to conclusions then, I assumed you were insinuating that that wasn't the point of the post

You should maybe watch the video. I promise, it's short

I wish the Democrats understood that

DSA isn't running a presidential candidate, and nowhere in this message is a call to vote for one

Too bad he's bad at doing even that

I feel like I've had the opposite experience in the gui (maybe a KDE issue?) closing gui windows frequently lock up, and I find I frequently have to drop to the command line in order to properly kill some programs

Not anymore

Tbh I'm skeptical that this is a demographic that exists in any meaningful capacity.

I hope I'm wrong on this...

Yes, I have family this deep in the cult

To Trump supporters, this sound like "The deep state doesn't want Trump to be president". Messaging like this reinforces their narratives

While i think that's true to an extent, I'm not convinced that the pressure within a state to encourage campaigning will overcome the establishment party's desire for power.

I would love to be proven wrong on this though

For context, I say this as a citizen of a very, very GOP dominated state. I really can't see us joining the compact and then maintaining that in any hypothetical near-future political environment where any non-republucian wins the popular vote, and gains our electors through the compact.
