“These bros know. They don’t fear journalists any more. Journalists will now learn to fear them. Because this is oligarchy now. This is the fusion of state and commercial power in a ruling elite.”

Germany may hold election sooner than planned, Scholz says – POLITICO - EUROPE SAYS
He also said his Social Democratic Party (SPD) has a “good chance” of winning a new election. TheEUROPE SAYS (EUROPESAYS.COM)
#Trump had a good election—in part because his friend Benjamin Netanyahu took actions in #Gaza cost Democrats a huge number of votes. ( Ed: Freaking predictable 🙄)
And agents in #MAGA media were also great at lying about inflation, crime, and immigration data. They were *really good* at disinformation.

The words in red are mine and should be everyone‘s. This jackass told millions of people over and over what a great guy tRump was. He used his oversized mic to soft sell a viscous vendetta driven creep, a supporter of institutionalized violence & racism, who is also a convicted rapist. So I’ll say it again. Fuck Joe Rogan. #USPol #tRump #Democracy

Harris "lost because, if your political and media system – rigged by donors – limits the choice to two hardline neoliberal candidates, with anything else denounced as “communism”, the most hardline, neoliberal candidate has an edge."

It's time to stop buying into tooth-fairy politics. No one's bringing salvation
Trump or Harris, a further slide towards authoritarianism and repression was on the cards. A corrupt, failed system won't admit its mistakes. It will find scapegoats.Jonathan Cook
We can hold their feet to the fire, and we can protect each other from their bullshit attempts to oppress and divide.
We've got work to do, but as of polls closing, our work here is done for now.
Good night all, thank you for giving a damn.

We did our part in this. I did what little I could do, and you hopefully did too. And, other than staying generally informed and aware, that's all we can do. That's our one role.
So now we just survive and try our best to live as we please until our next chance.

I voted for Harris, I tossed my pittance into the tsunami of corporate oligarch money, and now my part in this process is done for now.
Election Day is over now and the people have spoken. we've played our bit part in the biennial republic process. Count every single vote, let the chips fall where they may, and let there be a peaceful transfer of power.
Hopefully we have the chance to vote again in 2 & 4 years.

#democracy is a god damn group effort-
reflect your values.
then oppose authoritarian characters. don't give them #media attention.
take active interest in court rulings.
campaign with and #vote for democratic representatives of the people.
point out officials who abuse the power they have been entrusted with.
support independent newspapers and read multiple sources.
[...] do your part.
we don't know of what will become but we sure as hell are responsible for it.

When the news in many western countries is dominated by rich, conservative owners, even if they were traditionally more left-leaning, that is the way to destroy democracies.
Democrats worldwide need to rethink and reshape their information system.

'While it is certainly true that class divisions are not as evident as they once were in terms of structuring vote choice, this is because class has been pushed outside the political system. Whereas previously the middle class & working class were divided on who to vote for, now they are divided on whether to bother voting at all'!
Is democracy now becoming more a middle-class activity?

The true class divide in British politics is not which party people choose, but whether they vote at all
Class was once a strong indicator of which political party you would support. But since 2001, something quite different has been happening.The Conversation

It makes me really sick
I really have to pull myself together not to become verbally aggressive...
