As someone else said, getting the Republicans elected will not improve anything if people don’t change things from the bottom up (it will actually make everything you’re angry about worse). The Democrats won’t change their stances if they lose that election unless new people take the place of the politicians in place at the moment, they will just rely on people being angrier at the Republicans than they are at them after Trump’s next term, the result will be four years of things getting even worse and the Democrats having to fix even more shit when they get back in power in 2028.
Why would Democrats fix anything? They can just use the threat of Republicans to get reelected. Fixing things is not in their interests, because you will vote for them even if they don’t fix anything at all.
This genocide is only possible because of our government’s logistical, technical, and financial support. It’s only possible because we protect Israel from its neighbors, who would have long since intervened if it wouldn’t put them into conflict with the US. Israel is the 51st State, what happens there is possible only because of us.
Furthermore, Foucault’s Boomerang always comes home! Palestine is where we test border technology, policing tactics, facial recognition software, military AI, new weapons and defenses, and methods of political repression. We send our actual police there for training! IDF come over here to teach tactics to us! They’re talking about giving Americans that serve in Israel full veterans benefits! We are not safe.
You think you’re safe? This will come back for both of us, the things learned in Palestine will be applied to us when it’s our turn. It’ll start at the border, then come to the cities, and before you know it they’ll come for you too. That’s what that phrase is supposed to be warning us of, take your head out of the sand. The empire always comes home.
Blue MAGA isn’t the mummy. It’s the Party.
What do you think happens if Democrats, as a Party, know they can always just use the boogeyman to scare us into voting for them?
If you vote for blue MAGA the Party will realize they can kill anyone they want and you’ll still vote for them. Who’s next on the menu?
First they came…
Same difference, cutting your nose to spite your face.
There has to be a limit or Democrats can just do whatever they want, because you’ll always vote for them. Hence, blue MAGA. That’s a cult.

Yeah you’re definitely in the same position as holocaust victims… jfc that’s some epic privilege.
First they came for the Palestinians and you won’t speak out, because you are not Palestinian.
Or I am but because I’m not in Palestine my ‘speaking out’ means nothing. Do you even know the origin of that phrase?

Really bad form to use Palestinians as a prop in your little victimhood performance.

Oh my- you mean the US could become a police state? lol- is there any room in the rock you live under- sounds nice there ;)
But sure- we’re both culpable in genocide as US taxpayers but I guess you’re absolved because you shriek at strangers on lemmy about it.
I’m complicit! If I had an ounce of courage I’d do something that matters, not fucking post. I’m crushed by my guilt. Why aren’t you?
When our time comes, no one will be left to speak out for you.
