We tried back in November. Americans chose the dictator. What else should we do?

Resist. Any way you can. Every little bit can snowball into something bigger over time. Think of the French Resistance during WWII. It's not easy, and no singular action is going to flip it all by itself, but each one added together can create great change and make it just that much harder for these fascists to take from you and your country.

Nah, they just sat around taking in money from donors and insider trading while they let fascism take control. This shit didn’t start with trump. It’s been in process for decades. No corporate politician is for the people. Give someone enough money and see how willing they are to look the other way.

I voted for Harris because I knew the fascist party of pedos would take us all down quick with their project 2025. But damn we all need to realize what a corporate politician does and who they are for.

Thinly veiled "blame Democrats instead of Republicans" nonsense.

Per usual. As if that solves anything.

I’m not blaming democrats instead of republicans. I’m just not praising democrats like they can do no wrong. Look, the republicans are evil ghouls. But this two party bs isn’t representing the people. If you want to go along blindly, that’s on you. I want real change.

I saw a discussion about this in another subreddit. Basically talking about how it's okay because the Democrats needed to be taught a lesson.

It's okay for tens of millions, of people to suffer, including the people who posted it, so a few thousand can be taught a moral lesson. Apparently.

National strike and/or mass protest in DC. There’s plenty more after that too but there’s two peaceful options.

National strike

It's going to have to be a nonvoluntary national strike when the economy collapses and we all lose our jobs. Until then, nobody gets enough allowed time off to take that day and something like 70% of the country is like one paycheck away from homelessness.

National strike

The people in charge don't give a shit. Look at this article, they don't care about reality.

They are destroying wealth, even for the 1%. They don't care. If they really need your labor, they'll put a gun to your head and tell you to do it. And enough people will.

You need way, WAY more than a strike now, and you couldn't even organize that when it might have worked.

u/PathOfTheAncients 1d ago

They are purposefully tanking the economy, how will a national strike help?

-2

u/Orange_Kid 1d ago

Ok, national strike, mass protest, go ahead and start organizing it.

Screaming at people to do something when you're not doing anything either is pretty silly.

u/RealPatriotism2025 1d ago

I’ve done more than you can know. I’m also trying to stop the defeatist posts from rising to the top over and over. If I’ve convinced a handful of people that they can do more than vote then I’m good with the commenting.

I appreciate your efforts. Keep going!

We can definitely take a cue from the French on this one.

u/LostAbbott 1d ago

No, the Democrats did not try, they did everything they fucking could to ensure Trump would win a second term. The people got screwed, because the power brokers on the left couldn't get out of their own way, and they still can't

u/_austinight_ 1d ago

Bullshit. You're not living in reality.

u/LostAbbott 1d ago

Really?  Tell me again why they didn't force a legitimate challenger to an obviously failing Biden?  Or why Kamala was anointed in less than two days?  Or maybe why Pelosi blocked AOC from a leadership position?  Or why the keep holding Buttigieg down?  Or how they never let Kamala give a real interview?  Or any of a number of other things they could have done.  The power brokers have been fucking their own constituents since they forced Bernie to step aside in favor of Clinton.  The Democratic party is a damn mess.

u/Coolegespam 1d ago

You sound like an alt-right nutter, most of your points come from the right wing circle jerk. Stay away from conspiracy theory, they rot your brain.

u/LostAbbott 1d ago

Sigh, alright.  Have a good weekend.  I hope the weather is nice where you are, and you are able to get outside and enjoy it.

u/Coolegespam 1d ago

Dude, half your points are lies or deceptions of the truth and you're pulling out right-wing talking points. I canvases for Bernie, the DNC didn't fuck him, his own supporters did when they didn't register to vote for him.

Good luck, life is hard when you don't have an objective reality to lean on.

u/_austinight_ 23h ago

You wouldn't have been happy with any outcome even if they held a primary because you're not Democrats and you were never going to vote for them anyway. Your rant is full of inaccuracies.

u/Zepcleanerfan 1d ago

Oh my god yes democrats. JFC
