Americans are misinformed because the media has been destroyed by financial incentives and the capital class.

From the wiki on Project 2025:

Critics have characterized Project 2025 as an authoritarian, Christian nationalist plan to steer the U.S. toward autocracy.[14][16][17][18] Legal experts have said it would undermine the rule of law,[19] separation of powers,[7] separation of church and state,[20] and civil liberties.[7][19][21]

"It proposes criminalizing pornography and imprisoning those who produce it,[34][35] removing legal protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity,[35][36] and terminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs[7][36] while having the DOJ prosecute "anti-white racism" instead"

Yougov US: Support for universal health care - 55.9 % vs 24.4% oppose

Can't find much data on the corporatism stuff, but don't think that's true either

It's very funny that eugenicists always look inbred and disgusting

I mean I have to agree that it's disgusting and pathetic that almost every western mainstream political party is complicit and the rest are silent at best.

But, if you can stand me saying it, I think we actually have a chance to change the party. A Dem ticket like this is a once in lifetime event. If they lose I would be surprised if I ever see one this good again in my lifetime. If they get in, and if they get in with a strong majority, I can see it fundamentally changing the party. Every dem who blames the left for losing elections will turn to dust instantaneously ( don't fact check me on this ).

I don't really know what effect it'll have because I'm just some guy. But I think this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I think it could fundamentally change the DNC. It could disempower the right of the party and bring leftist ideas into the political mainstream. It won't be perfect, but it could be something. It could be huge.

Kamala and Walz are more left-leaning than any dem ticket in ages. If the purpose of the Green party is to move the democrats left, then they should drop out to reward them for moving left.

My bad, it was Turkey, not Hungary.

The really funny thing here is that Elon's Twitter has openly complied with censorship orders from Hungary already. The free speech stuff is fake. Twitter does overt political censorship on request.

I think you're remembering it wrong and comparing different groups of people.

'Criticise politicians' is not a fair representation of the DSA withdrawing their endorsement for AOC.

Man could have been hit by a meteorite and they'd say the same thing.
