From The Thorn, Portland DSA blog:
Brian Owendoff’s One Big Club (You Ain’t In It)
Jan 16, 2026Brian Owendoff sent racist text messages about Portland City Councilors to a group chat of local pro-corporate political agitators. Our research reveals he’s just one node in a network of powerful people trying to cut taxes for the rich, balloon the police budget, and make it harder for Portlanders to survive.

Mamdani’s victory is a rebuke ... -
Why socialism? Because the status quo, which is presented as "capitalism" by publications like this magazine, has obviously failed all but the already rich and influential. Why *wouldn't* the masses reach for the go-to alternative?

In general, though, it's yet another striking example of how "fusionism", whatever else you might think of it, *just doesn't work*. If you look at history, working with the center-left has delivered more liberty and smaller government than pretending to be right-wing ever has. 😑

Hypocrisy, a lack of seriousness, and, most of all, corruption seems to be kryptonite for libertarian populism. Any would-be revolutionaries in the US (myself included), take note!

New #poll reveals warning signs for #Trump with #Latino #voters - POLITICO https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/15/somos-poll-00563264 -
electoral politics, imo, will always be a dead end..
however, that left me thinking about Spoilt Votes..
more specifically, them being used as a measure of saying 'none of the above' or from having to choose 'the lesser evil'..
if the picks before you are shit, and they almost always are, why pick any?
because, you know - fuck that noise! 😄
oh.. and it's very easy to spoil a vote.. 🤭

Joy-Ann Reid presents a striking portrait of Donald Trump as an aging figure mired in corruption, characterizing him as a "geriatric brain dump." She discusses his troubling ventures and ethical controversies, including a $16 million settlement involving CBS that raises concerns of bribery. Reid warns of Trump's impact on immigration policies and the potential descent into authoritarianism affecting marginalized groups.

在过去的十年里，人们目睹了一种熟悉的历史模式再次出现 —— 工人阶级和贫困群体越来越多地转向特朗普和勒庞等极右翼人物。除美国外，奥地利也是极右翼在选举中取得成功的最新例证之一，在2024年9月29日的选举中，反移民、亲俄罗斯的自由党（FPÖ）取得了胜利，投票率高达80%，令人印象深刻。这证实了之前在意大利、匈牙利、波兰、巴西和法国等国家都已经出现的日益增长的趋势。其他一些国家也纷纷效仿，包括阿根廷，该国于2024年11月选出了极右翼自由派哈维尔·米莱为总统。
主流左翼圈子经常将这种转变解读为他们自己在解决工人阶级的问题上“失败”的结果。常见论点之一是：“阶级逆转”已经发生，左翼政党被受过教育的新自由主义精英收编；还有人认为，是由于左翼放弃了经济分析，转而支持身份政治。
然而，问题的根源在于选举民主制度本身的失败。背叛感和幻灭感源于国家主义左翼在历史上从未能挑战选举政治的奇观，而选举政治的目的是不惜一切代价维持阶级制度 ……

I know opinion here on the Fediverse is "the big tech CEOs are fascists and always have been"...and they're not really *wrong*. But I'm honestly puzzled as to why they opposed Trump in both 2016 and 2020 and only started (publicly) supporting him en masse the third go-round in 2024. What changed? Why *now*, of all times, as opposed to the other two times? Make it makes sense...

Anyone stop to think how appropriate it is that a country dominated by sadistic pigs is now going to be ruled by a convicted felon inaugurated when the flags are all at half-staff?

Where does this author live? I'm in Westside LA (one of the "bluest" parts of the US) and I've seen no such thing...because all the Christmas decor came out on November 1 (a full 29 days before the proper date, lest we forget...).

God, both Florida and Ohio went Republican by double-digits; I'm old enough to remember when they were swing states (and I'm not that old...). And forget about making up for that by "turning Texas blue": Texas also went to Trump by double digits. 😑

Trump so far doing better than he has any right to be. In the United States today, we truly live in the age of impunity; one wonders what's next on the menu...

Deserved criticism, but I might add that what we've seen in the 2024 campaign is particularly crazy: add up each candidate's proposals and it'd be enough for a broad-based tax cut and/or benefit. So why not just do that?

"Traditional" centrism, from a historical perspective, has not been a political tactic (as in a tactic designed to implement a given political project or capture power) so much as a purely electoral tactic which consists of sitting between the major political factions to be decisive when there is no absolute majority in a chamber, then negotiating your aliance therefore artificially inflating your political impact.
Centrist organizations will obviously always deny it, but even a cursory look through the history of the centre parties will show you there is no ideological or political fundation to their positions.
That is why they always became so permeable to technocratical ideas (technocracy arguably being a conservative ideology in itself) in contexts of economic growth and social stability: technocracy is the belief that you do not govern a country, you only administer it through contingencies on the basis of principles determined by the institutions themselves. As if institutions were not man-made but god-given or something. The only true centrist belief is that centrism should perpetuate itself.A phenomenon Graeber does not analize here is the fact that this new "extreme center" is incarnated by figures from political formations that do not present themselves as centrist parties. As a matter of fact if you ask them they will most likely insist that they are neither right nor left... While refusing to identify with centrism.
My hypothesis is that this development is a consequence of the inescapable political, cultural and mediatical footprint of neo-liberalism. You can not expect to sustain your position, your career in the electoral game while governing against neo-liberal politics any more, but you can campaign as if you are opposing it, present a discourse that is "critical" of neo-liberalism with an understanding that these opinions expressed will be inconsecuential once you reach power. This simulacra is what we call the extreme center.
After a few election cycles this strategy becomes ineffective, as you can only campaign to the left to then pivot and govern to the right so many times. Betrayal can never foster fidelity. And that is the era of major political crisis we are entering now on the world stage that will soon manifest itself in profound institutional crises in many countries.

To Save Our Democracy, Anger With State Policy Must Be Tied to the Electoral Process
While politics is more than electoral politics and must include every means by which the residents of a country engage with their government, the mainstreaming of on-ground protest and the sidelining of the electoral process speaks to a loss of institutional credibility that goes beyond a single government, writes Sarayu Pani.

The fate of Trump and his henchmen should be decided by the criminal justice system, not by the voters, because factually they and their cult are not legitimate political actors. I'm sick and tired of the media and all our social institutions pretending otherwise.
-
And, BTW, it's why JD Vance is on the Vice Presidential debate stage this time and not Mike Pence: because Mike Pence refused to attempt to override Congress and certify his own re-election, which is blatantly illegal. Vance is on the record as saying he would have done so.
-
And in the last month of his presidency Donald Trump made it clear that if he could have gotten away with executing a self-coup, he would have. His desire to subvert the constitution is why his cult-like followers were at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 in the first place.
-
Especially egregious considering this is a man who in the last year of his presidency was sending in militarized "Customs and Border Protection" agents to our own cities to kidnap his political opponents, incommunicado and without the barest shred of due process. Remember *that*?
-
Why does Reason magazine make excuses for Trump? Oh, he says he'll just use the military against "the radical left lunatics"! ...While he says at his rallies that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are radical-left lunatics. Come on, man: connect the dots. 🙄
#news #politics #electoralpolitics #authoritarianism #thoughts #media
-
The two of them belong on a docket, not on a ballot. Speaking of which...what are the odds that at some point during the next term Trump will be in jail and Vance will be in charge de facto? To say nothing about VP being a launching pad for getting the top spot de jure... 👀
-
But perhaps the decisive factor for Donald Trump's choice is that J.D. Vance is willing to defile the constitution and the law for one man's egotistical delusions about losing an election. Trump is still salty about Pence not doing that for him, lest we forget.

CW: U.S. Electoral Politics
More and more I think every American should vote in the Republican Presidential primary. I know there are other races to consider, but it just makes sense to me. If there is no primary to Biden we can stop Trump from even getting on the ballot, can't we?
