The thing is, if Mamdani winning is “not good,” then what would be good? Is there any “good” thing the U.S. people can do, in your opinion?
We’re up against a fascist who’s already been aggressively attacking his own people. We have to be practical here. Overturning the old guard has to start somewhere. Any step toward resistance is going to piss off those in power, but isn’t that better than lying down and doing nothing?
Let him dig the GOP an even deeper hole then. The more people he hurts the weaker he becomes. It’s unfortunate that Americans were dumb enough to even get into this situation in the first place.
I mean the problem with this position is that the GOP doesn’t really need any excuse to escalate things. We’ve seen for decades now that if they can’t find real reasons to do some hateful thing they will fabricate reasons, lie outright, or simply do the thing anyway. There’s also the large historical parallel to nazi germany and Hitler. Europe tried to appease them by capitulating over and over and it got them nothing. The parallels are obvious to our current position and we can either resist as much as possible now and maybe stop things from getting that bad or we can roll over giving them what they want and things will just keep getting worse. They won’t stop because you roll over. They won’t ever have hurt people enough to satisfy them.

I see. Maybe giving the old orange rapist whatever he wants will make you feel better about things?

Downvoting you not because I think you are wrong… the MAGA crap band will certainly sink to a new low
But because you seem to imply it would have been best to just put your head down and keep sucking…
Yeah, the maga idiots are going to be shitty regardless so why capitulate?
I didn’t mean to imply that, but I see why you got that. Oops.
Hence why I clarified… benefit of the doubt and all that
Thanks. Deleted it because either the edit didn’t go through or people wanted to be angry today.
Gotta remember not to post while distracted. Thanks! 💛

Quoth the liberal “Not this election cycle”

True, but like that famous saying goes, we do not negotiate with terrorists.
