If you want to move the Democrat party leftward (which is, politically, the only option now), the only way to do that is to vote for progressives in the primaries. They do exist. Research them in your state, lobby and volunteer for them, and get them in the primaries. Then show up for them.
If we’d been doing this instead of protest voting in the generals or abstaining, we wouldn’t be having to cope with a weakened and corporate Dem party. Shockingly, you actually do have the power to move things if you get involved.
Same. I haven’t seen him in much (Umbrella Academy most recently), but he seems to be a decent actor. Nothing to get excited about, but not a bad actor by any stretch. He’s better than average, imo. I don’t understand the hate.
Looking at his profile, I didn’t even know there was a Flatliners remake. Gonna have to go watch that now.
I’m going to tell people to do more than just vote, and to not think voting alone is adequate.
It’s not a hard concept. We are fighting honest to goodness, full-blown fascism now. No joke, no hyperbole. Of course you should still vote, but you also need to know that voting is no longer enough. It was always the bare minimum, and now we need to do more than that, because they will not give up power to the vote.
And yes, many end up trashed just because of this.
Because of cleaning them?
e: oh, you mean because of the vinegar?
Sorry? I misunderstood. I don’t think heating vinegar a couple of times a year causes issues, right? Otherwise there should be warnings against German takeout?
It feels like vinegar in food would be more common than a few times heating a cup of it, right?
I think most people do this pretty rarely – or is that actually enough? I’m really curious now.
Yeah, because when we think of the military, ‘politically correct’ is what comes to mind. 🙄
Just admit what you mean, you fascists. You want war, genocide, and ethnic cleansing. Drop the fucking pretense. Your followers are going mask-off, anyhow. You won’t lost supporters.
We knew all of this in 2024, and people couldn’t be bothered to stop it. Now they have full control, and certainly enough to either stop elections from happening or to rig it.
If you think full-blown fascists will allow a democratic process to take their power when they’ve already seized all the levers of government and can stop us, you’re mistaken. That’s why it was so important to prevent it when we had the chance.
It’s too late. The only way to stop it now will be to take it from them by force. Literally all of history shows that.
Unfortunately, the will to do that won’t exist until they’ve already committed the atrocities they’ve been planning.
e: he got away with an attempted insurrection the last time he lost. No way he won’t dial that up to 11 next time. Why wouldn’t he, and preemptively? And why won’t he get away with far worse?
The UX of this makes me want to take it behind the barn and shoot it. Aside from all the technical failure, I get the feeling this is the project they’ve been putting their employees on for punishment for their transgressions.
Vote in the midterms and FUCKING VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES.
Whether you like it or not, FPTP makes 3rd parties mathematically unviable in general elections.
