Once the government claims the right to strip anyone of due process, rights cease to be rights and become privileges, granted or revoked at the whim of those in power. That is not a constitutional democracy. That is the scaffolding of fascism.

Lemmy is full of fools who voted 3rd party or didn't vote and are very, very upset when you point out how foolish they were.

They'll make the same mistake next time around. There's no learning involved for them.

And the thing really is we don't care that they made a mistake. We all make mistakes. All any of us is asking for is just for them to say well we done f***** up let's not do that again in the future.

I've watched this repeat for 50 years straight. Over 30 years as a voter. One step forward two steps back. But I suspect that describes the last hundred years at least
