Always Antifascist (RoseCityAntifa)

It appears that Branden Ledsome was ordered to surrender his firearms earlier this year after aiming a gun at his partner and threatening to "fucking blow [her] head off". He nonetheless was filmed advancing on protesters with a firearm last night. twitter.com/RoseCityAntifa… https://t.co/mDbha4igGh

Always Antifascist @RoseCityAntifa

The passenger of the vehicle from which two shots were fired last night appears to have been "Sons of Liberty" member Branden Andrew Ledsome aka Peter Mucwich, who also assaulted & robbed people during Audra Price's 10/11 "COPS NW" event downtown. https://t.co/SVyt4KLiNq https://t.co/xkQUC7hgrG

Predictions:

The GOP successfully rig the election and remain in power,
The Libs blame the left, the poor, Black and Latinx people for this outcome, and insist that the way forward is to vote for Zentrum harder next time.

America’s dictatorial allies have not fundamentally changed their behaviour. Like the US itself, they’re just bit more overt now.

…and displays a general lack of discernment. She just retweeted half a dozen posts from Eric fucking Garland. Including this one:

“Steve Bannon is a Chinese agent”. Absolute fucking brainworms.

Still standing by what I said from the start:

General prognostications:

GOP control of redstate electoral administration renders the majority of states extremely resistant to democratic reform.

The only possible way to overcome that is via a turnout surge of sufficient magnitude that it overwhelms GOP efforts at voter suppression. “Likely” voters won’t cut it; unlikely voters are required.

None of the establishment candidates have the slightest chance of generating the required turnout surge. The working class simply will not come out in sufficient numbers for yet another neoliberal imperialist.

Bernie might be able to do it, although even then it’s a long shot. A new left candidate would have been better, but so far none have appeared.

The Dem establishment and their tame media proxies will once again work flat-out throughout the primary campaign in order to prevent any non-establishment candidates from succeeding.

If, by some miracle, a non-establishment left candidate makes it through the biased primary, the majority of the Democratic establishment will continue to work against them throughout the general. The Dem establishment would rather see a second Trump term than a leftist victory.

Even if a general election victory occurs, the fight isn’t over. We still have an out-of-control militaristic empire, structural white supremacy, millions of fascists and climate change to deal with. And the clock is running very short.
