“Now more than ever we need to reach across the aisle and work together…”
The Time to Move Forward Is Now
Ah, 2021. A time of triumph and jubilation. Democrats coming together and saying “We won last time so now we’ll never lose again” and proceeding to write the opposition party off as toothless has-beens. What a magical moment for our country.
Why can’t we go back to brunch? I think the real reason is because leftist voters stabbed us all in the back. So we just need to pivot further to the Right if we want to reclaim our beautiful brunch-time again.
leftist voters stabbed us all in the back.
Victory was assured! It is the only explanation!
Uncommitted movement? Never heard of them in my life, must be an internet joke!
He literally mentioned turning the military on cities earlier during the rambling speech he’s giving right now, in between talking about the quality of paper he likes and complaining about not getting a Nobel prize, because people are apparently shooting firefighters off ladders.
Don’t worry everyone, Chuck Schumer is going to write one of his most strongly worded letters ever.
He’s already admitted that the only reason he’s in Congress is to keep the left pro-Israel. And even by that metric he’s a loser.
And send eight overwrought emails about how much it would help if you donated right now.
Newsom about to post to social media in all caps.
Yeah, and he’s gonna call Trump a fascist and possibly even a Nazi for the umpteenth time. That’ll show him!
Like in Germany, Italy, and Spain it will not be the Liberals that fight back. Liberals will bend the knee and beg for forgiveness while Social Democrats will protest until the military massacres them all. But it will be the revolutionaries, the Socialists, the Anarchists, and the Communists that will resist.
Then obviously the communists make the anarchists face the wall
Obviously
Then we’ll all get lined up and shot by fascists Or just Communists and liberals Who’ve been waiting all along to become the fascist cops
Lol you really can’t wait to play victim can you
It seems being amnesigenic doesn’t make one immune from historical ignorance.
I’m well aware of the alleged historical grievances that some anarchists like to use to justify playing victim and being fucking useless, fortunately not all anarchists do this
You’re just trying to trade one boot for another.
Yes, a proletarian boot to prevent the capitalists from ever taking power again, your absurd opposition to wielding power for anything good ensures you will never do anything but lose
Seems like a stretch to call the mass execution of anarchists “anything good” but I suppose that really depends on how you feel about anarchists.
They haven’t made plans for that yet. Right now they are focused on fabricating national emergencies to cancel the midterms as the republicans are set to lose over a dozen seats as they destroy their communities and people tend to switch parties during midterms when the economy is struggling.
He is also threatening all the top military brass to start killing american citizens and getting rid of anyone the nazi administration doesn’t like.
We are at that moment in time were shit is about to get real crazy and most of the country will be too busy and uneducated to do anything about it, just as planned.
I missed the killing citizens thing, when did that happen
As you can tell, I am very busy and overwhelmed with so much I can’t keep track of all the shit that is going on
Yesterday. He wants the military to use Chicago as “training grounds” for our troops against US citizens.
Also the EO he just signed making anyone who isn’t a white Christian Republican a domestic terrorist gives law enforcement more ability to arrest and hurt the opposition.
Democrats are his “enemy within” and he told all his generals to use their power to fight us.
Totally on board with your premise, they do need to punch up as much as they can. And it looks like they’re trying to do so this round of shutdowns.
Nonetheless, this ultimately comes down to us. All of us. We can’t just sit here behind a computer and meme ourselves out of this disaster. We have to get out in the streets. We have to yell get mad and be angry. We have to hit them where they feel it. We have to organize. Get with upset farmers, get with the military vets whose benefits have been cut, get with the middleclass milquetoast moms who are starting to feel like something isn’t right with their grocery bills.
Each and every individual one of us is a single drop in the ocean, but, if we all move in the same direction, we become a crashing tsunami.
I’m Canadian, you guys should have been doing this since Regan, but better late than never I suppose
The pot says to the kettle.
Never said we’re blameless but we did manage to avoid electing maple flavored trump even once, nevermind twice
Oh shut up haha. The CA government is headed down the same path last time I checked. Fuckin America Lite up there.
Yeah, kinda wish you guys hadn’t decided to export your particular brand of capitalistic rot by osmosis. Our mistake was integrating with you guys as a policy and when the move was made outspoken politicians called it for what it was.
NAFTA fucked up every single country who signed it. Reagan and Mulroney were assholes.
eyes on the New York mayoral election.
It’ll be a prelude to the general election.
And trump is already interfering in that election. and I bet he’ll deploy the national guard during the elections. Or straight up jail a candidate.
And major Democratic Party leaders hadn’t endorsed Mamdani. The Dems will just play the fiddle while DC burns.
The Democrats forced Trump to do all this. They’re the real bad guys!
The Democrats forced Trump to do all this.
The Democrats helped Trump do all this.
Almost as much as protests voters helped Trump do all this. Almost as much as the both sides are the same rhetoric helped Trump do all this.
protests voters
Which state flipped based on protest voters?
Do you have a source that shows protest voters didn’t have any impact?
At least as much evidence as you have that they did.
How many voters voted in 2020 compared to 2024?
https://votingrightslab.org/2024/11/25/how-state-election-laws-shaped-voting-patterns-in-2024/
Huge changes in voting law between those two election cycles
Idk if you’re familiar with the phrase “proving a negative” or “burden of proof” but you should maybe try looking them up and learning a little bit about why you’re wrong
There’s a .ml after your name. Nothing you say is valid or taken seriously in any way
That’s a fun way to get out of answering a legitimate question: ad hominem attacks.
“You’re from place i don’t like” is a dogshit argument and you know it
Any impact protest voters might have had could be outweighed a thousandfold by nonvoters. Why call out protest voters unprompted as a cause of an election swing when their impact is a drop in an ocean?
Half the country didn’t vote. If 1% of them leaned Biden they would still have had more impact than protest voters, and I feel like the percentage leaning Biden might have been slightly higher than 1%.
I feel like I see protest voters called out 300x as much as nonvoters and I can never understand why it’s so disproportionate.
Almost as much as protests voters helped Trump do all this.
Gee, if only there were some way democrats could have got those voters back on board. But they were too insignificant to matter until centrists needed someone to blame for the results of their unwillingness to represent people not named cheney or netanyahu.
When the electorate is polarized, you win by energizing your base to get more people to the polls. Abandoning your base one vulnerable group at a time not only fails to curry favor with the fascists that centrists desperately want to befriend, it also depresses turnout from your base as well. But since centrists like moving to the right and don’t want to stop, they treat their positions as sacrosanct and it is the voters who must capitulate. After all, our politicians capitulate by example so frequently.
If they were too insignificant to listen to, you don’t get to blame them. If they are significant enough to blame, they’re kingmakers and you should have been listening to them.
“Whatabout protest voters, whatabout third parties” lol quit blaming other people for your failures
People who chose not to vote for Harris are just as much failures as the Democratic party. Take some responsibility.
Democratic party could have won in a landslide for speak up for their base who didn’t want a genocide, but no, they wanted it and stuck to it.
Democrats are 100% to blame. And fuck you and everyone who tries to put the blame on people for having a conscience. If they had any semblance of representing their base, they fucked it up themselves.
Democrats put themselves in a scenario where Trump would win and you’re surprised he won?
Yeah bro those people must be feeling so amazing about themselves and their pure and righteous conscience everyday that Trump runs rampant and destroys the country even more, and don’t even get me started on trans issues
AT LEAST GAZA IS SAVED THOUGH :) fuck off and grow up. You are both to blame because you both are fucking idiots. Democrats should’ve done a better job and split with Israel, because dipshits like you needed more of a reason to vote against obvious nazism
AT LEAST GAZA IS SAVED THOUGH :)
At least democrats didn’t have to abandon unconditional genocide support. At least they didn’t have to follow the Leahy law. They’ll make up every excuse under the sun to block progressive legislation, but straight up ignore the law to sell weapons for genocide.
?
Don’t play stupid
sheesh, literally the point my dad made yesterday unironically 😔
It’s quite literally on the administrations to-do list.
If you’re worried about election integrity under the administration, please do volunteer, or work directly for your elections board if you can. We can really use the help, no matter where you are from.
If you have some spare cash, don’t be afraid to print out some fact sheets for people to take with them when voting, as long as you don’t violate canvassing laws of course.
The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Democrats don’t really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child’s toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.
ToTaLlY aS bAd As RePuBlIcAnS
It’s not about bad or good even, it’s about having “principles” and acting on them. Democrats in general, for better and worse, are permissive to all kinds of stuff but have a real hard time agreeing on where lines are drawn and picking hills to fight for and die on together.
It’s like a kid having a tantrum on the floor of a public place and the parent going “sorry this is horrible but this just how he acts” and doing nothing to correct them or change the situation when they totally can.
Republicans don’t really have that problem, even when it’s objectively the dumbest shit ever.
That’s the side effect of a 2 party system. If they could split up into smaller parties, they could at least stand on their opinion.
Absolutely
Principles.
Indeed. Edited.
Worse, at least republicans are honest about how fucking evil they are
Indeed the results are the same under both, but of the two at least Republicans have the virtue of honesty. Democrats lack even that.
It’s an extremely transparent good cop/bad cop routine, quit being gullible
No one asked a tankie… anything ever
Lol k, stay stupid patriot
Yes, I’m such a PaTriOt that I am deeply ashamed of most of the things the US does. But hey, at least I’m not so shallow that I think cool red logos justify disgusting and brutal authoritarianism under a different name.

Your shame and a dollar would be worth a dollar.
But hey, at least I’m not so shallow that I think cool red logos justify disgusting and brutal authoritarianism under a different name.
Read like, any book from outside the States. Or speak to someone who actually lived in these “brutal authoritarian” states.
Oh go away accelerationist
Your shame is as worthless as your political action lol, authoritarianism is a thought-terminating buzzword employed by spineless liberals too terrified of the idea of wielding power for good to actually do anything to help
authoritarianism is a thought-terminating
This phrase renders all your words unlistenable. You just said that if a dictator is friendly to you, then they are good. Bye, blocked tankie.
Oh moralism. Here you are again.
No, no, no. The more accurate Dem response is: “guess we’re gonna die then.”
“Guess I’ll die” shrugs
If I represented people, I’d fuckin actuality do it. That’s just me, though. Maybe I’ll fuckin do it some day. Fuck these shits, on BOTH sides. I said it. They’re all shits. Shitty little shits.
Well, shit, man.
Oh that would force Democrats to write a really strong worded letter. Probably multiple pages. You’ll see.
He certainly learned from other autocrats that, for example, you cannot hold elections during a civil war.
Martial Law exists in the current day to keep con men out of prison.
Wartime measures
