If there is a 269-269 Electoral college tie (Biden losing just Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin from 2020 map) then the sitting senate would elect the vice president between Biden and Trumps VP nominee. 51-49 Democrats. Each state would have 1 vote to cast for president. Most states are not bound by the electoral votes, so it works out to a 26-22-2 split with a Republican majority.

We could have a scenario with a split ticket Republican president and democratic vice president ticket.

Trump-Harris ticket would be voted on by mid-December. The senate would then stamp and vote it in on Jan 6th, 2025. Overseen by none other than incumbent Kamala.

Because Biden wins the popular vote. Blue MAGA comes out for a march on the capital to defend “our democracy.” Red MAGA comes out to defend “our democracy”. Fights break out, or do they? The area is swarming with a giant army of newly drafted DC police who beat and detain hundreds of demonstrators. Tear gas used a dozen separate times.

No protestor gets close to the senate house. Barely near the capital building. The DC police were ready this time, they were funded.

All the while, Kamala oversees the electoral procession and continues her role of VP for Donald Trump. The Mainstream media applaud her defense of democracy and bipartisanship in such extreme circumstances and she is anointed as the new face of the Democratic Party.

Fear the monster

This song came out the year Reagan was elected. It marks the year everything got irreversibly shitty in the US.

The left in the US took major losses in the postwar period, but this man’s election ended any chance of a peaceful end to the Cold War or peace after the Cold War.

How the hell do you all effort post? I never go on internet on a computer/laptop. Are you guys the same? I don’t understand how someone could effort post with thumbs.

As long as the west funds Israeli military, or offers aid in every protracted conflict in Israel, the most belligerent aspects of Israeli society will prevail. Much like Apartheid South Africa, the house of cards will topple the moment the west removes the 💰 from the equation.

I know we are naturally oriented to care about internationalism, but we need to think of ways to shut off the money in a politically intelligent way. Unfortunately the westoids do not care about Palestinians, so this needs to be about spending the money at home. We can’t argue for them to stop killing Palestinians, but we could probably argue for them to spend the money on something else at home.

This would obviously take decades or longer, but just like climate change or veganism, I feel leftists are too involved in the actually compassionate arguments that move themselves, rather than the selfish arguments that motivate most westoids.
