THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS WHOLE TIME
The President and his pack of dicklickers are shitting on the Constitution and Bill of Rights hourly.
ICE execute and bash people in the street, or put them in gulags - citizens, or not - with no consequences.
Republicans raping children is at Biblical levels.
People can’t afford food, medication, rent, gas, education, or medical insurance, but Trump is busy putting his name on things as he enjoys being spit roasted by Netanyahu and Putin.
Billionaires are building data centers so close to people they might as well be in everyone’s large intestine.
‘AI’ has nearly caused a war between the US and China. Oops.
There’s a bunch more, but aside from some protests and tweeting that achieved nothing, the country famed for ‘Give me liberty or give me death’ has done precisely zero to stop their descent into fascism.
If decent people don’t get their way in November, you might as well tattoo numbers on your forearms, because Trump is eating away at your freedoms every damn day.
Maybe repeatedly voting for genocidally evil parties isn’t a good strategy.
I think at this point our primary cultural export is political spectacle.
Maybe were in a The Truman Show.
See even the French know the SOLUTION.
FYI, I got banned from news@lemmy.world one time for using the word “solution”
Jordan, you’re a ripe cunt.
That whole instance is a dumpster fire. It’s not lemmy.ml levels of brainfried, but it’s not much better.
Did you say final solution?
Nah, some thing like “we all know the solution” to which I mean’t assassinate Trump at the time, and Jordan, a centrist, was offended by.
That opinion of yours interrupted his grillin. He had to neglect his BBQ for minutes while they banned you!
In france if they try to raise tuition 2% or raise retirement age 2 years there are riots in the streets. In the us, a nazi felon pedo destroys the fabric of society and … “Hey did you see the season finale of Silo?”
Québécois here: I been saying this since the Bush years.
Je suis pas fier j’ai cru la salade à Obama où on aurait enfin droit à un 180.
Right? The creation of “The Department of Homeland Security” and “PATRIOT” act justified riots AS A START.
If we pray very very hard at the ballot box political Jesus might just not hurt us too much this cycle. Not help us of course, that’s communsocialisvenezuelism or something, but just not hurt us more. That’s what we do :)
Until you guys can shake the two party system, the answer is “do both”. Political damage control at election time, and light shit on fire in-between.
Yes. This should be obvious. Voting is the fucking bare minimum expected participation.
All the accounts in left-leaning and anarchist online spaces RN desperately trying to convince Americans not to vote should be regarded with extreme suspicion, especially those newly registered or aged but newly active.
And remember to look at a candidate’s voting history (if possible), not their campaign. Political campaigns are often full of lies because they’ll say whatever they think they have to in order to get elected.
Too late. The time to do that was during primary elections. Now you only get to choose between (A) voting for whoever won the Democratic primaries you failed to participate in, or (B) sucking Trump’s dick by not voting. Please don’t suck Trump’s dick by not voting.
Most of them hope to change things by thoughts and prayers…
and will blame some boogeyman if it doesn’t go with their expectations.

Thanks. Blocked the bot user.
Arson is legal and is the only way to go to heaven.
Because France lights things on fire and things are still bad.
We vote and things are still bad, but at least they aren’t on fire.
It’s one of the few lessons we learned from the Native Americans. They learned it from the Maya. They sacrificed virgins, then things were still bad, and they didn’t have any virgins. A lesson worth taking to heart.
but at least they aren’t on fire.
Uh, fire season doesn’t end til November now
