It’s a shame idiots didn’t listen to those of us who said exactly what would happen. You fucked around. Now you found out. And in the meantime the rest of us got screwed. Gee, thanks.
Except for literally everyone, no one warned them!
It a shame they didn’t listen to Trump.
He said EXACTLY what he was going to do.
“I’m gonna run this country like one of my companies.”
Like a fascist dictator, right into the ground…
It is kind of funny how the US simultaneously exalts FREEDOM and tyranny. The tyranny being the private realm, where your boss has total control
Which is why we should be talking about “workplace democracy” instead of “socialism”.
He talks so much and said multiple conflicting things.
No, he lied and said he was going to stop all the wars and start no new ones. Kamala on the other hand, promised to have the most lethal military ever. Don’t you remember?
If we’re lucky, some of the “both sides” people might take note.
Ah, who am I kidding, they only listen to fascist propaganda.
(not that the establishment Dems don’t suck, mind, but still an order of magnitude better than the fucking fascists)
The unfortunate part of this is that even if the Dems got in, all this other bs would still be brewing until the gop got in power again anyway, and no one would be fighting as hard to establish a socialist movement right now.
That’s just about the only silver lining, at least more people can see the consequences of the systems they enable this way. Hopefully the admin doesn’t destroy the world first…
Ever consider the possibility fascism and socialism both suck?
The center is being squeezed by people suffering from internet brain rot on either side pushing for failed systems of the past. You’re getting a taste of why fascism sucks. Do you need to actually experience why socialism sucks for yourself rather than just reading a history book?
If you burn your hand on one burner on the stove do you assume that pressing it on another burner will make it better?
You can enact some socialist policies without become a socialist society.
Socialised healthcare and education is a no-brainer.
I’ll never understand how they could ignore literal millions of loved ones and trust a rich spoiled known scammer to change things for the better for them and not himself, on top of all of us explicitly saying he and republicans will purposely crash the economy and hurt innocent people for fun in the name of religion and conservatism.
It’s not Trump they trust, it’s his misinformation machine. Manosphere for boys and trad wife content for girls. Andrew Tate evidently knows better than their own people.
People will belive anything if they want it,or fear it to be true.
Right, I know that intellectually. I’ll never understand it in my heart.
Same reason capitalism persists.
“Hey idiot fucking listen to me”
Perhaps the case made to them wasn’t made in the most appealing way. Voting is actually about appetites, thus winning messages are more apetising.
You tired of winning yet?
The idea of winning is always going to be the more appetising idea.
But Harris wouldn’t support Palestine …
She WAS going to support Ukraine and now that’s fucked also.
Listen, I really really like puppies, and that guy doesn’t care about puppies at all, so I’m not voting for him.
What, you’re worried that the kill-all-puppies party is gonna win? Come on, they’re ridiculous, they’re not gonna make it, so I may as well vote for them just for the thrill of it.
I get it, I’m not an American so can’t vote for either. But I do wish my country would get rid of the first around the post system so my vote for the “I like puppies” party actually meant something. And people didn’t have to feel that they have to vote for the “kill shelters have the right to defend themselves” guy just to stop the “I hate puppies” guy.
The rest of us either fled or dug our heels in and prepared. The MAGA voters who regret their votes are welcome to sacrifice themselves to the frontlines
Fascist statement.
The entire point of a campaign is to get votes…
2020 people held their noses and voted Biden, and the people running that geriatric puppet show used it to latch onto power and do whatever the fuck they want.
Jamie Harrison only knows how to take bribes from the wealthy, that’s why he lost to Lindsey Graham despite breaking fundraising efforts. As DNC chair from 2021 to 2025, he did what everyone expected him to do who knew who he was.
He raised a shit ton of money and lost an election because of not caring about anything else.
The real shame is uninformed people not understanding the DNC is just whatever the chair wants it to be, and when the chair changes you judge the organization by the current chair, not the one who fucked up and got fired
We have 2 choices. One is better. This discussion has now concluded.
As long as the US (or any other country for that matter) sees politics as something you only do every 4 years, nothing will change, or at least not to your advantage. Oligarchs have money, but have the numbers. Get involved locally, vote at every level you can, find who in your community has the same ideals as you, change small things first.
No. There infinite more. You just resign yourself to the fascist ones.
Americas would be better off if everyone took civics classes.
Or plain history. Repeating it is precisely why they can’t see choices C-Ω.
How has that strategy been working out for you? Oh you lost to an obvious fascist? Twice? Might want to reopen the file and take another swing, lol.
Might be aggressive stubborn people like you are the problem
