He called the ruling a “huge win” over a “horrible gerrymander.” But Trump himself has ordered many GOP states to gerrymander maximally. So here Trump openly declared that Republicans reserve the right to rig elections while Democrats do not. His actual position is that Republicans should play by their own corrupt rules, a declaration of intent to functionally steal the midterms.

    I think the attempt to change the Democratic party is important. Only for how popular leftist candidates will be and how blatantly the powers of capital will be to stop them. The illusion of “process” that the video talks about needs to be destroyed. I think a lot of Americans are still not facing the material conditions necessary and still trust the system. I don’t believe the Democratic party needs an internal revolution, not so much as it needs to die to fuel real revolution. Killing it is not done through trying a third party though. It’s by attempting to overtake it and being ready with a movement when it’s current leaders and donors are forced into killing it (the party) rather than allow it to become a party of the working class.
