100%, the DNC has always been friendlier to the right than the left.

2016 2: electric boogaloo. Harris loses PA and MI due to campaigning on continued genocide, leaving her with a popular vote victory but electoral college loss.

That's what I'd bet on if I were a betting man.

The material conditions aren't ripe for a civil war just yet, nor for a revolution. Things have not gotten dire for the US Empire abroad just yet.

How does "signaling" translate to policy? The majority of Americans want abortion codified, legal weed, single payer healthcare, increased gun protection, and more. Why do you think these haven't passed?

Why aren't White Christians abandoning Harris, but Arab-Americans are? Your answer thus far had been that Arab-Americans are stupid.

I've seen your article, I doubt it will happen. The ACA was passed in the most incomplete and gutted form possible that dramatically benefitted the pharmaceutical industry.

And no, I'm a Marxist, not a Utopian. I understand that building takes time, I just understand that we have little control of what gets passed without outside pressure.

Haven't read Hegel proper, if your goal is to understand Marxism then Elementary Principles of Philosophy is my recommendation. It goes over Idealism, Dialectics, Materialism, and then how they came to form Dialectical and Historical Materialism.

They are voting third party, usually for Stein, or Crúz.

I'm not arguing against RCV, I'm arguing against the idea that

1: it will ever pass, and

2: the idea that if it passed, it would change anything.

Revolution is necessary, something you'd think was obvious given your username.

It doesn't, really. You'll see when it fizzles out.

Additonally, we can see even in other countries with RCV that it doesn't majorly improve things, RCV isn't a panacea, the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie still dominates the electoral system.

Marxism, reading theory brought me to Historical and Dialectical Materialism, which also brought me to researching the foundations that led up to Marxism that Marx built off of.
