Hey so maybe wait to see what Harris does after she takes office before you start shitting in the punch bowl?
Like, I get it. I’m jaded as fuck about politics and the electoral system we’re forced to use. But I take it as a VERY promising sign that Biden actually stepped aside. Sure, maybe it was for the “wrong” reasons (age and senility, instead of wrongheaded policies and decisions and being desperately out of touch with younger generations), but I’m happy to take the win where we can get it. Harris is saying a lot of things that are overall resonating with a lot of people, including myself. I’m not deluded enough to think she’ll be a perfect champion of social justice and equality, but at the same time, what she’s saying so far is a damn sight closer to that than any politician I’ve heard since Obama was campaigning in ‘08.
I’m willing to give her a shot. You should too.
btw if you hate our voting system, you should be working towards moving away from FPTP and to something like IRV, maine actually has IRV, and since states are delegated a lot of rights in this regard, it can put a lot of upward pressure on the matter.
Don't misunderstand, part of me is glad that it's going to be Harris and Walz, but I have to be realistic with my expectations. A slightly slower crawl towards fascism and mass climatic genocide seems the best I should expect, but I would love to be pleasantly surprised.
if you're so worried about the imminent threat of a fascist dystopia and believe that the government will not stop it, why don't you start taking matters into your own hands?
Discussing such activities is illegal in the USA.
well don't discuss it then.
makes sense, domestic terrorism is generally frowned upon, it's the reason j6ers were charged and served time or are still serving time for it.
please demonstrate the "slightly" aspect of fascism between the harris and walz campaign, and the trump campaign, i would really love to see this "slight" difference you speak of.
Palestine.
palestine is fascist? They might be, they're a war torn government and of middle eastern culture, so maybe.
Israel? They're a democratic country, so uh. BB himself is wildly unpopular within israel. Those aren't normally possible under fascism.
The US? The country almost subverted electorally. Only to push through on the sheer basedness of mike pence believing in democracy like a gigachad? TBF we have another election cycle coming up. But we're doing fine at the moment so.
The US federal government itself due to it's war actions? Seems highly unlikely to me, popular sentiment for this war is, not great. Granted i don't know any statistics on this, so i may be wrong. Since you're here, and criticizing the government for this one, even calling them "fascist" over it. I would probably venture to argue that this is wrong by fundamental reasoning.
I'm not really smelling any fascism here.
Do you have Covid?
do you have long covid?
Because that would explain why you can't smell the fascism in genocide..
