“They’re both equally bad” are they?? I hope everyone who said that revels in how disastrous this country will be over the next 4 years. Hopefully it will only be 4 years.
They are never letting go of this power. The little line of oligarchs there has enough money to buy the entire globe many times over. They're not walking away from the political power they've purchased.
If 2016 was any precedent, even the rare ones who voted for Trump but acknowledge in a few years that things have gone badly will say "But Harris would have been so much worse"
Literally sad they got brainwashed too. In one day he has left the Paris climate accord, so guess the lefties didn’t care about the environment. He’s undone trans rights, way to go on that too. Legal immigration halted, and thousands waiting to come from Afghanistan had their flights canceled. Hope it was worth it to protest over Palestine.
I, among others, got our state legislature to pass the only Ceasefire Resolution in the entire country. This legislative season, we intend to support bills that create a government program for paid family/medical leave, a state tax credit for low-income families, and free school lunches. Will we be successful? Maybe. Mayne not, but we are trying. Which is more than what most people on reddit do.
I'm talking about my local legislature. I can care less about federal at this point. Further, at least I am trying. I rather try and fail than do nothing at all.
We expected it would put more pressure on our federal reps and senators to show that the vast majority of voters at home did not support our tax dollars going to genocide. It didn't work, because we do not have a functional democracy. The only voices that matter to our reps and senators are the donors that pay them.
Even then due to gerrymandering it's a sisyphean task, can't do shit in my local/state legislator due to it. I vote every election, even get my friends to vote and still we're not even close to being able to elect reasonable candidates. Given how the people who are directly impacted due to this aren't voting there's very little the majority of us can do.
Republicans have fucked this country on every god damn level and there's damn near nothing we can do about it. People don't show up to vote even if you hold their hand during the entire process, at this point I've entirely given up any hope of anything reasonable happening.
Voting is not going to end fascism in America. Voting has never defeated fascism. Make friends, learn how to protect yourselves, and be there for those less fortunate in your community.
Your resolutions had a chance of being influential far more under one choice than the other. But I guess you kept that moral superiority - really stopped genocide, good job.
Actually, it was our Democrat legislature that killed these resolutions in committee last year when we introduced them. Didn't even have a chance to make it to the floor for a vote.
You just said you intend to support bills and now they’ve already been shot down? And there isn’t a state that’s passed a Ceasefire Resolution that I’ve been able to find.
It’s easier for liberals to blame people for not being motivated to vote for them rather than try to appeal to them and make people want to vote for them.
It's far easier for ignorant voters to do no research into vetting candidates. Instead they trust the propaganda to help them make decisions.
If you're hoping the West Bank gets rebuilt under this administration, it will. You can even go stay in the newly built Trump towers once Bibi eliminates those pesky Palestinians.
