Be specific, right wing, authoritarian run, society.

They make women wear burqas in the middle east. The gnashing of teeth around here will be very unsettling.

The status quo has changed before. Civil rights did happen. The problem now is progress has reached the upper echelons of power and the scared white boys don't want to give it up. It won't be long before most realize power won't being given without force.

I'm familiar with t_d. They have always been there but they would sequester themselves to right wing spaces. Election time they'd come out their hidey holes but were very easy to spot.

You don't get it. The Russians are getting what they want because the DNC has done nothing to stop it. You can keep fighting uphill and I'll continue to lend my vote but you get nothing else. Sorry.

If you want my suggestion don't put your political capital into the DNC. They dont know how to spend it. Form a new party and make them suffer. Tea partiers did it and reshaped the GOP. You won't have the funding of right wing billionaires at first but if you get enough momentum they will be pouring in to try and shape things.

It's all for naught though, once you start getting cheated out of every victory you fight for you'll start sharpening the knife too.

No, I was only browsing and only because the lag between lemmy and reddit is kinda substantial. They will get breaking stuff faster.

Reddit needs to switch because the right wing propaganda machine doesn't like competition and wants reddit for itself. They aren't going to Twitter it because it fragile enough, being mod run, to fall apart. Instead they will flip it.

I would not be surprised if the new iteration of the DNC is the 90s, early 2000s GOP. Look how they are spamming McCain on reddit.

Such a sick cruel joke to make it so the choices in our false election be GOP or Orange Putin.

Remember Tucker Carlson fucking a loaf of bread in a Russian grocery store? Well I hope you all like bread!

The only thing that makes all of this interesting is trumps inevitable death. I know his mental decline is in there too but they'll just weekend at bernies him for the final years.

There was an era where the nerds placed up a facade to give the illusion of meritocracy and measured governance. Unfortunately that just drove a wedge between people and the "ruling class." When it came out that bill was getting blowies in the oval office people's brains broke and the facade was forever tarnished. Today, democrats still hide behind it and pretend like we don't know they piss and shit like everyone else. The Republicans decided to erect a monument to trump their lord and savior, the only thing keeping them from being a foot note in the history books.

We need to look to our founders. Flawed in every way possible they did have one idea that we should still cherish. They believed in an america they could make by their own hands. They did, it sucked, it was also amazing somehow. We should be like them but be just as kind to our future as we are to the present.

She did try her darnedest too, though.

Some of us never quit. It's just annoying that everytime you bring up legit concerns its met with people defending the status quo. 2016 the status quo was drug to the town square and hung. I don't care if you pulled it down marionette it around, it's 2024 and a knife was stabbed through the heart of this country. Democrats still have the helm and they will do nothing, they will let it bleed out. All the power of the american government and they cannot weird it despite a lifetime working in it.

If democrats were even going to consider change they would spend their political capital, NOW. Since it is all gone come January.

Say I'm wrong and they can keep playing political footsy with NAZIs till the end of time, why, why, why, would anyone want that????

Working class people can also suck, tho. Remember all those stickers they put on the gas pumps blaming biden for the price of gas. Like, common you fucking fools, that's ridiculous and you would never let your bitch boy trump take the credit for that.

Sorry it's your fault you weren't able to quell their every objection despite how unreasonable they may have been.

It's not their platform was weak. It's that they are weak. They hold their tongue while their opponents are jerking off in their face. They mind their Ps & Qs while someone holds a gun to a child's head somewhere in America. They govern "responsibly" while half the government is on fire. There is no sense of urgency, there is no sense of reality, there is no sense they actually giving a fuck.

It's easy to stand up there at the podium and wane intellectual about filling the sky with stars and ask us all to "keep fighting" but where was your fight? How did you lose to this with everything on the line?

Why would we fight for a bunch of fish to be thrown on land so we can sit there and watch them flop around drowning in a political environment that is killing them?

It's honestly the least he could do. Sure he was a good president with good policies but keeping your head down and fixing things that the GOP are only going to claim credit for isn't helpful at the moment. The DNC has managed to turn decades of good will and evaporate it into nothing. So yes, giving us this small inconsequential win would not be too big of an ask.

Wishful thinking.

They can do what ever they like. Democrats are powerless to stop them. They don't even know if they should. They hesitate when they see injustice and think, wait, this could look politically bad and hurt my reelection. Trump has dispeled all that shit and proved that all this political posturing is bullshit. You can be as unhinged as you like, and as long as you've fostered real support and didn't just garner it from some political capital factory it will be unwavering.

Lots don't realize it yet but this was their last chance to vote. It was pretty meaningless but they could have fended off the reversal of years of political gains but instead they looked to their pockets and let the people with their hand in it have back control.

Considering they are now completely irrelevant and about to be wiped from government all together, sure.

Lol. Wasn't trump talking about shooting lizz cheny in the face by firing squad. I'm sorry, I have no desire to be right on this or argue the point.

How did I escape? Or did I? I'm probably just a tool of the machine that causes good Christian people to huddle back into their safe space otherwise I'll give them trans.

Why did we even want liberalism to be mainstream (other than to ease the suffering)? These people don't deserve to be free of the fairty tales that bind them and make them attack their own person hood. I feel for you, the future disaffected youth of America. This might be grim and will probably get me a ban but instead of making punk rock music, do us all a favor and smother your parents in their sleep.
