So the ‘Blue wave’ hasn’t really happened. Against a fascistic man-baby, and with pretty much the entire ‘MSM’ behind them, the Democrats just about managed to take back the House and actually LOST seats in the Senate. Pathetic!
Trump will be around until 2024 unless the Democrats are able to miraculously reform by 2020 and actually offer the revolutionary change that people and planet need. But this will not happen, because they are in bed with the oligarchy/Wall Street: eg every single Democrat recently voted for an environment-killing $700 billion military budget. Meanwhile, there’s extreme poverty, homelessness crisis, massive debt, no public healthcare, etc. United States of Corruption.
Expect more Russia nonsense and zero self-reflection from the Dems over the next two years! The two-party dictatorship serving the interests of the billionaires, will continue, meaning that people will only get angrier and the far-right will continue to thrive.

USA and Israel again vote to continue Cuba blockade
Despite the blockade - which they say has deprived their economy of over $933billion - Cubans have a higher life expectancy than Americans; free healthcare, education, etc. Just imagine how even-more-amazingly they'd be doing without the blockade!
The US will never allow a thriving non-neoliberal capitalist society to exist so close to its borders (...or anywhere). Can't have Americans noticing that there is another way of doing things!
Now...
WHY CAN'T THE REST OF THE WORLD UNITE AND TELL AMERICA AND ISRAEL TO FUCK OFF?!
Oh yeah, cos our neoliberal governments don't actually have much agency and exist at the behest of US hegemony/corporations and plutocrats (sorry, the 'free market').
Socialist China beats 'free market' countries when it comes to green energy?
Isn’t it crazy that we aren’t all driving electric cars by now?
Just imagine how different our world could be if the $trillions spent on militarism and corporate consumerism, for the benefit of a few scumbag war profiteers/corporations, had instead been invested in science and green technology.
For how long will we continue to allow our ruling elite, and the neoliberal system that enriches them (whilst putting the rest of us in debt), destroy our planet?
The ‘free market’ (aka corporate-controlled) system is literally going to wipe us out. I guess it’s a testament to the level of propaganda that we are subjected to, that we are mostly just letting this happen.
Maybe socialist China will provide some hope...? (Not that I’m a massive fan of everything about their system either!).
