What about the complicity of the Dems, can we rage against that too? I mean if they want to win they have to actually deliver something for the middle class
Yes.
Of course. We want the best of both parties
And civil discourse to benefit society
The words of the current president elect, if taken at face value, are going to cause great harm.
We must deal with the hand we have right now.
It doesn't mean blind obedience to any party
Billy two knives huh?
I would like to see people of both sides speak and act with civility and honor.
We need more moderates to extend hands across the void
I will be the first to admit I am wrong about the things I fear.
I fear for the future my grandchildren and children face
I think Diaper Don the Bankruptcy King is going to see to it that we never get to vote again and that they don't count when we do, but I'm just sayin'.
But Democrats HAVE TO campaign on this. Not prioritizing ‘Bipartisanship’. But prioritizing REALITY. Prioritizing GENUINE. Prioritizing ACTUALLY serving the Heart and Soul of America.
From the point of view of a large part of the rest of the world, and probably a considerable minority of the US, this is equally representative of the past 4 years of biden/harris administration.
There are a few good ones. We need to change the political climate across the spectrum so that they remember they work for the people and for the GOOD of the people.
President-elect Trump sounded the alarm Sunday after a federal appeals court cleared the way for Merrick Garland to release special counsel, Jack Smith's election subversion report as early as Monday.
A post on Truth Social, Trump suggested Smith should not have been "allowed" to write the report
The elephant in the discussion of why Democrats lost the election: Conservatives' lies and fear mongering. They appealed to emotion with mis- and disinformation while Democrats used data and rational thought. Emotion beats logic every time, especially with poorly educated folks.
Sadly, for some on the left, I think it will take at least 18 months worth of Trump-induced horrors to convince them that ensuring Dems actually having political power is more important than telling them how angry you are.*
Evidently, for some on the left (mostly shouty, sweary people) no amount of Trump-induced horrors will lead them to understand that actually having political power is just as important as telling Dems how angry you feel, because without the former, you can't change the things causing the latter.
Dems are a pathetic group of war mongering Corp loving useless hypocrites like the GOP. And this last turnout was the final straw. GREEN PARTY FOREVER! NEVER WASTING MY VOTE ON A CORP OWNED DEMORAT AGAIN!
And folks in Florida and New York, you have special elections coming up soon to to fill the House seats vacated by the clowns that joined the Trump Administration.
No. Absolutely not.
You need to research each candidate before an election. Any serious candidate will have a website or news article or something online. You can use those to see their policies and beliefs and where they sit.
Do NOT vote blindly.
Lol. U don't pick em. The Corp overlords allow a bunch of candidates to be exposed to the public. And then the two corrupt profiteering military controlled parties pretend there's a difference while they collect pay & universal healthcare for life. And they squash all other parties from forming.
Now, not next week, not tomorrow, is the time for Dems to choose a candidate and start campaigning for the next 4 years! Refute every campaign promise not kept by TFG. Be loud!! Right?
Is anyone arranging a counter-march in DC on Trump's inauguration day. I certainly hope so. Please inform as widely as possible. BTW good to see Bannon wants to eviscerate Musk. Keep up the good hate.
I see one before hand.
I plan to ignore the inauguration completely
And will be ready to March the next day because you know he has a list of Steven Miller inspired executive orders for day one
Yeah but his ultimate vanity point is how many turn out for him. That translates into supernova rage at how many turn out against. The other question is is there a magazine like Charlie Hebdo from France in the USA? And is the Donald a black hole or a worm hole?
YES! We need to get it together. Show up for EVERY election. Town, County, State, Federal. Too many people are not engaged this is how they screwed us. Tell your friends and family to get involved vote in EVERY election and vote BLUE 💙
I keep saying this but the Dems have better stop fucking around and get messaging right. Get on Newsmax. Get on fox. Get on Rogan. Call out the lies. Break down the MAGAt wall of disinformation and perverted lack of facts. Control the newscycle for once. For Fucks Sake!
Why? Why do we make them part of the conversation? There are 100 million voters that don’t vote. There are millions of people struggling. Let’s discuss real solutions to real problems, line up the tickets with candidates on the state and local level who support those solutions, and get to work?
That's the point. The people who are struggling are the ones believing the lies. So cut through and shine a light on the lies. For the 100 M who don't vote, I don't have a clue how to get them engaged. If the threat of fascism doesn't get their lazy ass up, what will?
How about you try listening to them instead of screaming “Vote blue no matter who!” as you ignore them? Or pandering to people and then forgetting about them the day after inauguration? Hold primaries and stop manipulating them? Stop supporting the lesser evil? How many more would you like?
Trump and the GOP are the same. There is no separation. Whether they say they are or not, they are all part of the same agenda that the GOP has been focused on for 50+ years. Eliminate the New Deal, Great Society, and the civil rights gains of the last century. That’s what you’re voting for.
The Dems don’t really have any ideas to message. They’re not really trying to fix anything at all. They’re proposing miniscule improvements at best. It’s us vs the 1%, not red vs blue.
You're not wrong. But the MAGAts are much better at riling up the base to blame the dems. And the dems aren't great, but they aren't the fascist fuckery we just elected.
& isn’t that an indictment on America? 😔 Going high didn’t stop u winning. Ppl not getting that reality is nuanced & takes more than a tiktok, youtube short, or FoxNews ticker to understand complex ideas & preferring easy over right, lie over truth, bigotry over diversity, othering over community…
No one wants the nation burned down
At least on the left
I can't speak for the right after the Capital was burned
The Nation needs common groups and cooperation on both sides to heal
Watch: The Hack! Really important to see how it started! It’s a documentary; but unfortunately the right are so self righteous that they can’t see the truth even through Jesus eyes 😭

Dictator Trump - ***NO more voting***
"In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good you won't have to vote." - Trump, 7/27/24

I was inspired to read
Dylan Thomas’ poem.
May I quote the last line, with a twist:
Rage, rage against the
Dying of the light ...
Of our democratic republic.
Of our federal union.
Of one nation, with liberty &
justice for all. 🇺🇸
Trump and leaders of a similar ilk embolden people to show complete lack of civility
what. they haven't even pretended to be civil in decades even before trump why are all of you stuck in the 90s
civility is just cowardice. it means never making evil people uncomfortable. you rube! stop posting!

Tough call.
Also libs: welp guess we'll just have to vote harder next time
Lmao
Focus on the midterms
