This last election made me into an anarchist for now. I do not believe there is any way to salvage this system we have in any meaningful way. I’m not a violent person so I can’t see myself doing anything like Luigi, but Democrats aren’t going to save anyone and are just one part of the problem.
I think Donald could be the death blow to our country as more and more of our social contract is upended, especially with talks of killing the ACA and other popular programs.
He had everything on him to get caught and convicted. I don’t think he wanted to run forever.
Brain drain will happen after prices skyrocket and folks are expected to wait it out. Places like Spain are cheap, but generally have a better qol than most places in America.
If European countries want to open their doors to distraught Americans I think it’s a great idea because there are a lot of highly educated, highly skilled folks here that might just be done with the bs once maga really begins to churn.
Yeah I agree, but we dont really live in that society anymore. All attempts at reform are sidelined and corporate interests are put over our own constantly. I don’t like it either, but people have a breaking point and they can only take so much. If we had a stronger aca that wasn’t gutted by industry maybe there wouldn’t have been motive here.
I fear it’s too late. Unless the party can be taken by force it won’t be enough and we only have 4 years. If dems didn’t snub Bernie this all probably wouldn’t have happened. Our choices used to be two flavors of corporate fascism, now it’s far right vs corporate. Dems are better on social issues, but it’s not enough.
Genuine question: why not try Linux? You’ll continue to get updates without the nagware. There are very few games I play that cant run on proton at this point.
Could it be possible for companies to drop ship through Canada or Mexico to skip the tariffs?
Genuine question: what happens to someone born in the US to non citizens? If they were born in the states, would they not have the citizenship of their parents country? At that point would they just have no citizenship anywhere?
I’m sure if it came down to it their parents home country might grant their child citizenship, but it probably won’t be guaranteed…
I thought he said he was draining the swamp?
They can’t and won’t learn. They’d rather have a fake controllable populist on the right than a progressive on the left they can’t control. The DNC has been serving nothing but corporate neocons since Clinton. They don’t fuckin learn. They need to be thoroughly ripped apart before things will get better.
Democrats and moderates are blaming leftists because they believe that because of their stances on Gaza and other issues that leftists didn’t vote for them. They are unable to reflect on why they actually lost and don’t realize the thousand plus issues with their own party so they are working overtime to try and shift the blame. They ran the most unappealing campaign since Clinton and independents didn’t show up or actively voted against her.
I didn’t say that, I voted. I’ve just heard this same argument so many times through the years and it’s not working.
I tried. Our politics are a joke and have been my entire fucking life. We’re all just trying to survive and do the right thing. We’ve been fucked by both sides, the side that wanted to win won. That’s all there is to it. The rational Americans were abandoned.
Are you trying to tell me they won’t learn their lesson this time?
We’ve got to do it now. Before midterms and before 28. If we wait around for the DNC and Democrats to do the right thing and learn their lessons then we’ll be sorely disappointed.
Every. Single. Election. People. Blame. Voters. And. Nothing. Changes. Maybe it’s the lame ass corporate candidates that need to change. I voted Kamala, but it was fucking obvious as shit she didn’t stand a chance.
Yup. They fucked us royally and I’m sort of waiting to see if people organize around this. The DNC needs to go. They’ve known about Trump since 16 and this is the campaign they run? They’re trying to elect him at this point, I don’t know what else to think.
Democrats: here’s a rock and two nickels
Republicans: here’s everything you’ve ever wanted and all the libertarian shit you used to jerk off to.
Liberals after the election: how did we lose??
The DNC silences anyone that isn’t a neocon establishment pick. They don’t let the people have a voice and just listen to their donors. They need to have real open primaries where they do not obstruct the outcome. Once they can find their maverick like Republicans found theirs maybe they’ll start winning decisively again.
Democrats (DNC and donors) don’t want to win with a progressive. They’d rather have Trump. They’ll never embrace anyone like Bernie.
It’s almost like … universal healthcare would make our economy stronger and the insurance companies are the leaches…
