Obviously it's a process that is always brewing under capitalism but you know what I mean. Do you think we are close, like within 5 to 10 years close to a major declaration of war between the imperial core and the periphery or something of the sort? Would you argue it's already started?

I see Palestine liberating itself, I see solidarity with them along the people, I see the ripples that the Ukraine conflict has started, I see more and more revolutionary sentiment building. Could be an experience bias because now I'm more involved in real life so I see it more, but things just seem to be accelerating and I'm here for it. Much work needs to be done to capitalize and educate/funnel us all towards a progressive revolution and not a reactionary one, but I'm ready

Idk, Colorado has always been a swing/Republican State, and that’s where this began. I admit that most of the other states are Dem, but still the question remains, will (super)delegates concede to write-ins? I’m not as big of a history-buff as I would like to be, but isn’t that unprecedented(actual question, not rhetorical)? Having a write-in candidate being a majority or at least a sizeable percentage of the vote? Seems like it isn’t a very stable system of governance if they don’t recognize write-in votes as legitimate when they expressly allow it
