i don’t think there’s much trump can do force a split between them and the point of my example is to make it clear that the leadership is too heavily inculcated in their world views to benefit russia’s position in the future.

a split will be fostered from within and by a decrepit leadership that still has its eyes firmly glued to the west.

did you also notice that we’ve both been warned away interacting with each other?

problem is their western-academia-brain-poisoned leadership has been slow to recognize how essential it is + how little western countries will compromise on their mission to undevelop & privatize the natural resources of every global south country & keep their trade links linear

this is the reason why i would expect another sino-soviet split.

the american version of this is manifested by trump’s ascendency enabled in large part by gen-z’s noted willingness to “checkout out” of the system, but too many are still inculcated by american style politics and propaganda to keep the system going anyways; hence aesthetics-only displays like the no kings marches.

ie: plenty of people know better, but the ones who do are not in control.

It is MADDENING that it seems impossible to get these people’s heads out of their asses.

as a leftist: welcome to the club. lol

this has been me for the last six months updating ansible playbooks written by people that no one remembers because of problems documented by managers that no one also remembers because they all quit 10ish years ago due to the shit pay. lol

i wonder if trump sees nato as dead weight since most of it’s members didn’t bother with defense spending as much as the united states does.

what evidence do you have for this?

EDIT: are you expecting leftists to show up to democratic primaries. if so, why would people of one party show up to the primary of another party? if this is the case; you should see what the deomocrats did to bernie in 2016 and 2020 as well as how they’re reacting to mamdani right now.

either that or spain has to do a balancing act between criticizing fascists/genociders and ensuring that those fascists/genociders don’t foster political violence for spaniards… again.

i guess it’s just another example of people not bothering to look beneath the surface of a soundbite or slogan that sounds good.

you’re literally reading my comments from an instance that is capable of tolerating other instances that do not align with them politically; your instance is not capable of that and that makes it much more of an echo chamber than mine.

and politics is a responsibility that you have to do as an functioning adult; like taxes or clothing yourself. only the rich can afford to outsource their responsibilities and they have done so through the democrats and republicans.

you mean like the democrats had in the first 2 years of biden’s term?

the democrats lost so many voters in this last election that there’s no longer enough 3rd party voters to make up for the difference and they’ll continue to lose voters as the democrats keep shifting to the right.

that’s because .world defederated from the most active core of the leftists lemmyverse and effectively robbed you of the needful information that you need to make an informed choice; just like the democrats like to do to its base.

do yourself a favor and join another instance and maybe then you’ll see how proud i have been to throw my support (both voting and canvasing) for psl.

that 3-9% is the percentage of americans who have been paying attention to how shitty the democrats & republicans are and have been actively trying to build a better alternative through the green, socialist, libetarian, etc. parties. (atleast so until democrats and republicans join forces to quash them over and over and over again).

you either practice what you’re preaching here and give them your support or just sit & complain. like the other 90% of american voters, the choice is yours; you either keep voting for the 2 parties that have been cooperating w each other to bring us here or you try the only real alternatives that you’ve been willfully ignoring for the last several decades because of what the propaganda tells you about 3rd party voting and fptp deadlocking.

it took decades of this sort of strategy to get us here; expecting an immediate change is unrealistic.

why not be significantly more effective than 1 millionth of a percent and join the 3-9% of american voters that have been trying to warn liberals that democrats are shit every election for the last several decades w a third party?

something better has literally been around for decades; people just refuse to vote for it.

the democrats have proven that they’re not going to stop this and your fellow liberals are more politically aligned w you than w me; so what are you doing to prevent it?

Vote blue no matter who. Lol
