In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

    I only agree with half your statement. I can be appalled by the majority government and still think the Dems are dumb as stumps. What do you suggest “lefty progressivism” talk about?

      it is the framing of the article that set me off because it is so typically one-sided. “The United States is imploding. The reign of Donald Trump is…”

      as though the democrats weren’t funding genocide in gaza and spending hundreds of billions on nato expansion and the predictable (essentially promised) war that ensued.

        I hope the people who refrained from voting over the genocide stance feel proud of what they accomplished.

          If Gaza didn’t exist the Democrats would still have lost.

          spoken like a true democrat… you lot love to blame the voters for the party’s bad policy. (unless i am misreading you-- you’re criticizing people who hold genocide to be a red-line?)

            I haven’t been a democrat since 2017. I registered with the DSA. I vote progressive left when possible or against the gop when it’s a toss up. Don’t presuppose my affiliation based on a couple of posts and your own sour grapes.
