This is my argument for why Biden winning this election really isn't doom and gloom, because even if the Left gets everything they want, it won't last. And not only that, but the dumbasses that aren't filthy rich that support this garbage will have to live in the world they desperately fought for for so long.
The Left always implodes, and a Left-wing government is no exception. Biden's a Neocon, but his party is being infested by real Leftists making fucking lists of people for punishment. We don't need a Civil War to kill the Left, we just need the Left to be stuck in a room with itself for a good five minutes and it'll do the job just fine.
The issue I have with that argument is, quite simply, that I've seen it before, and I know how it ends. Welp I have managed to go almost a whole day without mentioning my dearest Patria. Guess it can't be helped! So let's all please say hello to Sagasta. The dreadful first president of the Spanish Borbonic Restoration. The murderer of democracy. And the man who paved the path your country is walking now.
But first a bit of history. The spanish right wing had quite simply completely imploded at this point in time. They did so during the old regime. Giving way to the ever popular 1st spanish republic. Which can best be described as:
As with the destruction of the conservatives and their abandonment of politics in favor of... serving the country from a more subservient position. The left just opened the doors to the growth of radical leftism, and started promptly eating itself as the neoliberal oligarchs got a taste of the radical federalism they had bred to dismantle the right. Leading to the destruction of the republic and restoration of monarchy soon after.
Or to put it simply:
With the newfound rise in conservative reactionism and leftist infighting, the oligarchs then restored their power by allowing token levels of "radicals" into the new party, the Liberal Fusionistas, which everyone promptly assumed would implode again, due to the fact that the two factions making it had a history of hating each other and no reason to stay together other, of course, than power:
Or, to put it simply:
But what people couldn't predict is that the Liberal Fusionistas would manage to ensure their power, through less than legal means, and soon after the Oligarchs would quite rapidly rebuild the alliance with the right wing and shitcan the radicals because as we now all know, the ancoms are the first to get the bullet when the revolution ends. Not that it mattered since most of the ancoms that had any power just jumped ship and joined the, heh, "moderates" at the first chance they got:
Or to put it simply:
And Sagasta solidified his power by simply abandoning everything he had promised he'd do. This of course was seen by most as an absolutely stupid move. The right wing had just started having reactionary populism again, there was no way they'd ever sacrifice that to ally with such a heinous man. Specially not when that would mean reforging alliances with the oligarchs, the very thing that ended the right wing in the first place.
Or to put it simply:
But of course the right wing couldn't really do anything against Sagasta. Because Sagasta counted with all the votes he'd ever need. Because Sagasta had a solid voting base that simply couldn't be reasoned with or diminished, only grown:
Or to put it simply:
And so, they gave the boot to the populists and joined the liberals happily, earning the pejorative name of "conejos" (or "rabits") and started quite literally having reunions to decide the results of the elections beforehand so they could take turns however they please:
Or to put it simply:
This of course caused massive societal unrest and practically destroyed the country. But they didn't care. So long as they were in power they could happily starve the poor and keep lining their pockets. And its not like foreign governments were gonna stop them. Not so long as they could take advantage:
Or to put it simply:
DO YOU GET IT YET?! If the holes in electoral law aren't plugged as soon as they are discovered. They will be used. Again, and again, and again. There will be no democracy left. If Biden succeeds don't expect the left to win. The Dems will just immediately start the process of erradicating the populist left and "rebuilding bridges" with the RINOs. This was never about left or right. They just use the left because its infighting makes it weaker. The neoliberals always had their eyes set on reforging the Uniparty. RINOs and DINOs will simply be "same dogs with different collars" and you'll get a new one every 8 years, happily and politely. The politics have never been anything but a farce to hide their true intention, to keep their power firmly on the hands of the DC swamp.
Or to put it simply:
