Like in most wars, Americans have come too late again.
Yeah? Are more than 71 million people protesting? If so, where the fuck were you on Tuesday? And if not, well, I understand you don't like the election result but this isn't going to achieve anything.
Being persnickety with people putting their lives out there in protest is such a DNC move. Bet you bitched about the college gaza protests. If your old enough you would of been bitching about civil rights and Vietnam war protests too.
"No but see I withheld my vote for Kamala because I don't feel she earned it"
No but see I withheld my vote for genocidal candidates.
FTFY. get your facts straight. Kamala's internal polling knew this. she choose this put your ire in the proper location: on harris and the dnc for blowing a fucking election against this twit to shill harder for corporations.
she had two jobs to win: convince people she took the economic hardships of american workers serious (she didn't) and commit to following americas laws (she didn't while simultaneously running as a law and order candidate).
Instead she treated arabs like absolute garbage and had pro business economic policies. oooo 25k for first time home owners. bitch people can't afford food and rent and mortgage rates are at a two decade high. you think 25k is going to do shit?
she was such an arrogant asshole to arabs and the working class we fucking warned everyone for months. but instead of listening idiots spouted 'lesser evil' nonsense. All I know is im grabbing popcorn for the next four years and focusing my efforts entirely locally from now on. fuck the DNC and national democrats.
I get the feeling we need to be doing the work the Democrats refused to do: creating a political mandate. Protesting is part of creating that mandate, but one thing I would like to see is the inverse of the "ground game" l; where instead of going door to door to convince people of a solution, you get them involved in the decision process.
He stole the election.
He probably didn't. He was polling very well. Very well. Better than his last two elections for a long time. People pretended he couldn't win and I admittedly didn't think they'd do that since that's exactly what happened in 2016.
Simply assuming the election was stolen will be a mistake because that mindset will help Republicans win their next election. The voters wanted an irreparably changed supreme court and Trump functionally immune from prosecution and that's what the voters got.
Um, or not realizing the danger we are literally in right now will be a mistake.
Think of what Trump has literally said:
- He wants a purge night, and a purge for "woke" military members (this is literally a military take over by Russia)
- He wants to take away freedom of speech for leftists
- He wants to end birthright citizenship
- You will never vote again after this election
There won't be a next election. He is a Russian asset meant to take all of our money and kill us. The voters didn't decide anything, Russia did. To kill us.
