On the one hand, this is going to hurt working class. A lot. Most of the US has no good mass transit. No car means no paycheck.

On the other hand, stellar power move. Impressive.

You say "on one hand... on the other hand" as if both things aren't good.

The American working class -- and I say this as a member of it -- needs to be hurt in order to find the motivation to depose its dictator.

That undecided bloc should've voted then. They can make it up for it by protesting against the tariffs.

Good, let the working class feel the self inflicted pain. - a frustrated American

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago

They should voted then and not wait til now to protest.

70+ million of us bothered to vote no. We did the reading and even though we didn’t fail the test, we failed the test anyway.

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness, that is life.

theres also rigging involved, but dems will never call it that, because the Rs already did. too scared chickenshit, the DNC is just hoping to coast by and win marginally in general, thats thier message never sticks to the common voters.

It’s sad how most of the DNC just abandoned everything the second after the election was done. I get they don’t have the house/senate, but holy shit this is though to watch from up North in Canada.

thats how beto lost in texas, and how Younkin won virgnia(which have been constantly blue), "not trump" message just doesnt sell for them, wont work against racism either. the Rs have done very good job at propaganda and taken advantage of the polarized party system. if you taken IR classes, the instructors will be first to point out the 2 party system is very polarized and unnatural in america. DNc has to Rebrand in order to get any more elections. even in the city im living which has always been historically blue, just voted in someone more to the right of center right(though not red)

Boycott US

233 readers

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to get rid of citizen's united and implement independent district drawing and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
