Well, ignoring that they'd stop being funded and platformed by capitalists if they adopted such a program.

? Do you believe that about moving right getting more votes? I don't. My analysis is that if the democrats moved farther left and focused on economics, they'd win more votes.

They don't do this because they're beholden to capitalist interests and the inherent contradiction between them prevents it. Because they can't acknowledge that contradiction, they havey to speak about minorities, women, LGBT to court the left. This isn't to say that what they're saying about those groups is wrong, just that the analysis is weak and feels divisive to uneducated white voters.

But my general point is that with an actual left platform, they'd win.

Middle class people here are unfortunately pretty politically ignorant and tend to support whatever the overwhelmingly right wing news says so they tend to support it. The people I organize with are very opposed to it.

I live here, there's no doubt he wants US bases.

Funding a fruitless war and a genocide is expensive, and who needs a habitable planet anyway. Very sustainable system you have here, Mr. Biden.

Yeah, as the other poster said, the propaganda here is unreal. I have plenty of criticisms of Correa, but the right wing here is so ideological and one sided.

Agreed. Very interesting albeit unfortunate.

Living in Ecuador is wild. A huge number of people are supporting this move because they hate Correa and Glas is an ally of his.

Have you ever researched the DPRK independently? Do you have anything positive you can say about them?

Maximus was dog shit to work for. Glad to see this unionization effort!

Not OP, but the dissolution of the ussr was entirely undemocratic. They also violated the constitution, which did have provisions for leaving, in order to do so.
