Les démocrates consolident leur contrôle du Congrès américain et des États

Le résultat des élections de mi-mandat est un puissant désaveu de l’administration Trump, dont profitent les démocrates malgré leur propre manque de soutien populaire.

Pseudo-lefts campaign for Labour, Greens in New Zealand election

The International Socialist Organisation and Socialist Aotearoa are dressing up pro-imperialist parties as anti-war and promoting the fraud that they can be pressured to appease working people.

Another demonstration of lack of fundamental differences btwn 2 parties. But also shows cynical functioning of Dems: 1 type (Stevens/Fetterman etc.) allies w/ GOP while 2nd type (Sanders/El-Sayed/AOC) props-up illusion that Dem Pty can fight Trump & be reformed. Both dishonest.
