Hubris is thinking a few liberal voters in america could abate a global trend toward fascism without fundamentally changing anything about our broken capitalist system.
Right, the trend so far isn’t very good, and I agree the (capitalistic) system needs a fundamental change, though electing the obvious (seemingly for half of USA not…) Auto/Idiocrat is definitely not helping…
Democrats’ inability to address what voters were actively demanding is why not enough people turned out for them.
Even in political terms, snubbing the Students for Justice in Palestine at the convention and refusing to let them speak was possibly the worst campaign decision of the last decade.
Right now it’s not even clear if there is another meaningful election. And I don’t think I have to mention what happened just in the last few months since the inauguration of Trump…
This wouldn’t have happened when Harris would’ve been elected, I’m sure of.
The economic system in the US guarantees fascism, the rules are made up and votes are don’t matter.
I didn’t vote because I’m not American. They should revolt that is the only answer.
Votes do matter… Would’ve voted just a few more against Trump, we wouldn’t be in this (I think at this point global) mess…
Should they matter more or should the “democratic” process be quite different (more deliberate), yeah…
At this point though, we need big protests, I agree. Also just to wake up all those (not entirely lost) MAGA idiots…

We were in this mess before the election
Not in at this level though…

Bullshit.
Before the election:
Very compelling argument
Likewise.
I agree totally. All the upper-middle class socialists in this thread have no doubt been setting this in action.
Or they’ve been doing nothing but navel gazing on Lemmy.
What gov database do you have access to that tells you the financial status of lemmy users in this thread
