    >> [ #UnitedStates ] is dead. When the #SocialSecurity checks stop flowing, the political scum will face millions of angry seniors with nothing to lose, #Republicans, #Democrats, and #independents.

    I would limit Democrats to #EstablishmentDemocrats, but when things get ugly, who's paying attention to nuances?

    This and food inflation in particular, along with #Trump's corruption and #venal offices, is setting up to be a rerun of the #BreadRiots that sparked the #FrenchRevolution.

    #Labor whether Feds or State (with exception ACT) is as doomed as LNP if it keeps occupying Center-right politics. So, yes, what's are the alternatives. I'd say small L #independents and More savvy #Greens but they're a long way to go. Hence get used to what we've got because LNP+PHON isn't going to get us anywhere but down the gurgler.

    Apologies for butting-in to the conversation, I can't help myself where politics are concerned -- tragic... yes I know.

BREAKING: In a Stunning Admission, Mike Johnson just told reporters that he plans to cut both Medicare & Medicaid after the midterm elections We can STOP THIS BY ELECTING Gary Crockett for United States Senate AND Never Vote Republican #Louisiana #NoParty #democrats #independents #vote #healthcare

    It’s not that hard. I don’t support anything right of centre for one because there lies the path of #authoritarianism and more of the shitful, moribund #neoliberalism that I could ever suffer in what little time I have left. I also do not wish to foister more (or worse) of the same crap we’ve had for the last 40 years on future generations.

    For me, alternatives are found in small L liberal #Independents who are committed to the community they live in and, of course, the #Greens above all else. If there is a lack of these in your electorate’s candidates at the next election, you’ve got two choices. Get involved and make it happen (preferred option) or move to an electorate where there are such candidates. Putting up with the major parties is no choice at all IMO.

  10. One reason #BillCassidy was willing to break with #Trump 5 years ago is that #Louisiana had a different #election system than it does now. From 1975 until this year, the top 2 finishers on Election Day, regardless of party, would face each other in a runoff if neither garnered 50%. That allowed a #Republican like Cassidy to win by assembling a coalition that included #independents & moderate #Democrats.

  12. They will either be forced to change by groundswell of #independents after #midterms or they will disappear. Change or die. The #GOP is not in good shape. As soon as they lose the Presidency, there isn't a party. They are in disgrace and it must be capitalized. Profoundly. In person. ⏪⏪⏪

  13. "In the past, conservative critics of Trump have usually complained that he has sold out the views and values associated with figures such as Ronald Reagan. Now, criticism of Trump within the conservative camp is for the first time being framed as a betrayal of the supposed values on which the MAGA movement was founded."

  15. "The fulfillment of promises can’t be deferred forever without voters starting to lose patience. As Viktor Orbán learned to his chagrin in Hungary, there comes a time when leaders are measured by their results rather than their rhetoric. And that time has now come for Donald Trump."

  19. "A focus group organized by The New York Times found that most participants who voted for Donald Trump regret their decision, with nine out of 12 expressing disappointment in his second term. Many described his presidency negatively, citing issues like immigration policies, economic concerns, and ongoing controversies."

  23. "According to one survey, more independent voters disapprove of the president now than they did at any point in his first term. The broad coalition that put Trump back in the White House no longer appears to exist."

  24. "The MAGA faithful are overwhelmingly sticking with the president. Not so for everyone else. A number of new polls show that some of the voting blocs that helped power Trump’s 2024 win have lost faith in him: His support among young people has cratered; so has his approval among Latinos."

  25. Babord és una rara avis en el panorama polític català. La majoria de nosaltres som #independents, però als mitjans se'ns presenta com una aliança entre #Comuns i #CUP. És destacable i d'agrair l'entesa per donar #suport i #autonomia a aquesta experiència #municipalista. Alhora, l'equilibri entre les diverses sensibilitats no sempre és fàcil i trobar-lo té un gran valor.

    Per això potser tingui interès compartir els esdeveniments que han anat fent créixer aquest #moviment des del 2014.

  26. Listening to @proleftpodcast.bsky.social - all about healing, miracles, and (say it with us now) #Independents !

    They referenced @juliusgoat.bsky.social ‘s recent newsletter - fortunately, I had read it and got to enjoy it again.

    Podcast - it’s not safe for work!

  27. How do you turn 100,000 #Democrats into #Independents ? Just support using legislation to bake age verification into operating systems like #Linux . We don’t like to think #Dems can be tech illiterates like those *other people* , let alone those residing in major global tech centers. Operating systems and apps are the same thing, no ? Well there ya go. There’s more than one way to stop the voting
