    I don’t think we should minimise the dangers of the Republicans creating a one party state or there being a military coup. I mean, the Democrats won’t do anything to stop it, but we don’t have an electoral path in America at all. Maybe we did a couple of decades ago, not anymore.

        It doesn’t. I’m just saying that the electoral path does not exist for the left in the us. This is true now, but especially true if republicans fulfill their wet dream of creating an open dictatorship of the bourgeoise

      Prisoner’s Dilemma

      If we work together this doesn’t have to come to pass. Unfortunately most Americans aren’t advanced in their knowledge of politics to understand this. It’s all “My team” vs. “Their team” and culture reinforces this.
