"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!"
I went to iowa for bernie, held a whole shit load of phone banks in chicago for him during the early primaries, and even canvassed during covid right up until he dropped.
Maybe Im a silly doomer but I really do feel like bernie was a once in a lifetime opportunity to get anything remotely different. AOC would be an "obama" type at best who promises a lot and delivers nothing.
White liberals only find POC useful when they make broadway musicals that glorify slaveowners.
Xannys are expensive these days in the Biden economy!
They literally dropped all the charges against the so called "threat to democracy".
Really shows you who they are... Willing to throw marginalized people under the bus as soon as its convenient and willing to let someone they labeled as "hitler" do whatever they want for the sake of "preserving the stability of our institutions".
Dont make the mistake of feeling responsible for this. Sure theres some things you can do to help but its 99.99999999999999% out of your control.
Fwiw youre helping by not being another lib whos just gonna run away to bluesky.
Terminally online fs
Plus I think socialized medicine and healthcare would help a lot of problems fix themselves. Lets be real, a lot of these people are just sick in the head qnd desperately need help they probably cant afford. Im sure some of them would refuse but just having free access to that help would definitely have a positive long term impact.
I definitely agree to some extent. Theres always people youll judt never save.
Denied our birthright to free vbucks bro
Well.... i had a point evidently
So far Trump is winning the majority of votes as well as the majoritiy of the vote in Michigan , Nevada, arizona, georgia and Pennsylvania.
There is no "muh 3rd party" ing out of this.
Kamala.
Only because if Trump represents the culmination of problems we have to deal with under capitalism; Kamala represents putting those problems off and not dealing with them as long as possible.
Nailed the logo for both parties anyways
Its sad that honestly I dont think its out of your average cops wheelhouse to gun down a 65 year old lib wearing a pussy hat for no reason.
Honestly if Kamala wins, well get a nightmare scenario where liberals are going to pretend theyre the bastions of the fight against fascism or whatever every four years. Theyre just going to do straight up fascist shit in the name of "defending democracy".
Why do people act like Trump is gonna ban porn, shut the border, and shove trans children in concentration camps?
Dudes gonna govern like 3 millimeters to the right of Bill Clinton and do the usual Trump stuff of making a show of it all.
Still probably more predictive than that goober who rambles about the keys to the whote house or whatever
The reality is that their idea of a "democracy" is a fundemental perversion of human nature.
Our neoliberal "democracy" was founded by and for the interests of property owners. The safeguarded institutions that make libs cream their pants are the same onstitutions designed to protect the government from revolts by poor people.
We can see by nearly every objective measure that neoliberal capitalism has deteriorated our living conditions year after year. It is a cancer that is all consuming, constant and lacks any empathy whatsoever. It will not and can not be stopped unless it is forcefully destoryed. It cannot be "improved from within" for the same reason that dementia, cancer or any other similarly all-consuming illness cannot just be subsided on a long term basis.
As such, Donald Trump becomes a viable candidate. He is the mirror image of American values. Maybe we dont like it, but to some degree we need to acknowledge as such. He is the epitome of what our founding fathers cherished and valued. And only such a system of neoliberal capitalism could elevate someone like him to a high status. In many ways, he is the ultimate embodiment of the American President.
After all, what is the use of such "democracy" when all such a system can produce are two different ways of looking into the void?
I've been saying to people since biden dropped out that a lot of his terrible campaign staff was directly transferred to her. Not to underestimate their ability to fuck this up.
If she literally even supported conditioning aid to Israel and focused on abortion this would be a slam dunk.
I remenber the day before south carolina and CNN/MSNBC was doing some fuckery in telling everyone that Bernie had been helped by Russia or whatever tf And i encountered some angry boomers.
The silver lining in all of this is that, if anything, at least the resistance libs are completely defeated. Blue maga disengaging from politics altogether does potwntially create an opportunity in 2028.
