It's Joever for the Democrats no lie. I know polls are still pretty even and something could happen to give them a shot in the arm but honestly all the videos I've been watching and conversations I've been having IRL are just pointing to a complete anti-Democrat vibe. Watching a few videos that are saying the same thing and it could just be algorithm bias but idk. I don't even mean just for 2024 election like long term this party is fucked. I used to think they were going to be bent over and moved out of the way by the Republicans (consequently establishing a further fascist government) because Dems are spineless but they're actually doing such a terrible job that they're going to get voted out and allow the Republicans to further fascist-ize the US if that's even possible.

I'm low-key here for it, going to be interesting but I'm very scared for marginalized people and the proleys in general.

Would finally bring the US in line with the rest of the west circa maybe 60-70 years ago if they finally did that. But I don't really see much of a labour movement over there.

US labor movement is growing rapidly and getting increasingly radical, but that is in relation to a very low water mark in both respects

That's good to hear. I would love to see my comrades in the US better able to organise. If a movement does get strong enough, I guess a labour party would form in order to work as a release valve for that socialist pressure. That's why they exist in most other western nations after all.

It would still be better then the fascist disaster we have now, better a labour party then straight Neo-Nazi's.
