Midterms 2026: a comparison and a warning ... When people are fed up with the status quo, they vote for some thing, that is not what we have now ! This is what happened in the UK ... My God I wish I had a time machine. On a positive note; the swing has been so big, most Americans will get a hard dose of Socialism .. ENJOY ! The 2024 UK general election (4 July) produced a historic Conservative collapse and a Labour landslide under Keir Starmer, but with notably low enthusiasm and a turnout of just 59.7%—the lowest since 2001 and down roughly 8 points from 2019. Labour secured 411 seats on 33.7% of the vote (about 9.7 million votes), while the Conservatives fell from 365 seats and 43.6% in 2019 to 121 seats and 23.7%. Reform UK took 14.3% of the vote but only five seats, and the Liberal Democrats won 72. First-past-the-post heavily amplified Labour’s seat majority despite its modest vote share—the lowest for any modern majority government. Many analyses described it as an anti-Conservative rejection more than a positive endorsement of Labour. Conservative losses stemmed from 14 years in office, eroded trust after Partygate and related scandals, the short-lived Liz Truss premiership and its mini-budget market disruption, persistent high immigration (including Channel crossings), NHS waiting lists, cost-of-living pressures, and a sense that the party had failed to deliver on key promises. Large numbers of 2019 Conservative voters either switched to Reform or stayed home rather than vote for another party. Polling and post-election analysis consistently ranked loss of trust, perceived incompetence, and being “out of touch” as primary drivers. The low turnout reflected broader disillusionment. Reasons cited included distrust of politicians, a belief that voting changes little, and scepticism that any major party could fix deep problems. Declines occurred across the country, including in some Labour-leaning areas; it was not solely Conservative heartlands sitting out. Younger and middle-aged voters showed particularly high abstention. Labour’s early period in government faced rapid criticism: freebies scandals, cuts to winter fuel payments for some pensioners, employer National Insurance rises, limited progress on growth and housebuilding, continued small-boat arrivals, and multiple policy U-turns. Starmer’s personal ratings fell sharply, and by 2025–26 the government was widely described as unpopular, with Labour’s polling support roughly halving from its election level in some surveys. Whether this constitutes the “worst socialist government” of a lifetime is a subjective judgment—Starmer’s platform was deliberately more moderate and fiscally cautious than Jeremy Corbyn’s—but the combination of a low-enthusiasm mandate and subsequent delivery shortfalls left many voters feeling the change of government had not resolved underlying frustrations and arguably made things a lot worse. @UNCgirl33 @TLineman29 @lineman4340 @kate_p45 @rosejam181920 @KiperlyW @LUVZ737777 @RealConnieLee @janci67 @JodyOnTheCouch @RedTsunami77 @15Bamakimbo @misjessi28 @Taggie1224 @NorCal_Patriot @spooks @SashaOnTheBlock @CaessyM @Leone21619987 @itsmelisalynn @casi_rhnea82 @RighterThanRigh @_SmokeyGirl25 @cali_beachangel @godforever99 @REDVOTERMAGA @GraceX_7872 @DebRN1953

VOTE RED TO SAVE THE AMERICAN DREAM ! Read and weep; vote blue takes you to hell ... read on ! The DSA Red-Green Alliance and Its Clash with the American Dream ! The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the largest U.S. socialist organization with over 100,000 members, pursues democratic socialism through the Democratic Party: public ownership of major industries, Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, wealth redistribution, and stronger unions. The “Red-Green alliance” describes the tactical partnership between the socialist left (“Red”) and political Islamists (“Green”). Despite incompatible long-term goals—secular collectivism versus religious theocracy—they converge on shared enemies: Western liberalism, capitalism, U.S. power, and Israel. DSA chapters and allies have co-sponsored events featuring Hamas, Hezbollah, and PFLP symbols after October 7, 2023, framing the conflict in anti-imperialist terms that align with Islamist networks. This mirrors European patterns and earlier historical convergences, such as leftist support for Iran’s 1979 revolution. DSA’s platform would remake the United States. Its ecosocialist Green New Deal demands full decarbonization by 2030, nationalization of fossil-fuel producers and energy systems, public ownership of transit and resources, a federal jobs guarantee, and a shift from growth to “regenerative” planning. Broader goals include universal rent control, free higher education, a 32-hour workweek, abolition of police and prisons in radical factions, open migration, reparations, and a new constitution based on proportional representation and working-class control of the economy. These changes are incompatible with the American Dream of individual liberty, private property, free enterprise, and opportunity through personal effort under limited government. The Dream rests on constitutional protections for property rights, voluntary exchange, and equal opportunity rather than equal outcomes. Nationalizing energy and key industries replaces market signals and innovation with political allocation. Massive redistribution and jobs guarantees reduce incentives to produce and invest. Historical socialist experiments show chronic shortages, lower living standards, and concentrated power. The Red-Green convergence further prioritizes anti-Western and identity-based alliances over the classical liberal order that generated America’s prosperity and mobility. In short, DSA’s vision replaces a republic grounded in individual rights and markets with a collectivist system directed by the state and aligned with movements hostile to Western institutions—fundamentally altering the country’s economic and cultural foundations. @WenMaMa2 @tikiangels2 @BIGG69276626 @candace_lo70387 @NancyH_60 @Beth_2727 @cali_beachangel @rosejam181920 @onlywcex @Wimima25Cowan @DaveFloMan @BGsGhost1 @v2957822480904 @jobling_an99428 @FloraEllen26 @Dreambu49405472 @ladylibertyone @CaessyM @LdyDianeLenning @Leone21619987 @dena928588 @LanieASassyVet @BrendaO00357595 @01Kat2 @FloridaFlo2004 @BallardKat29958 @polkadotrhinno
