First person to type comment on how it is harm reduction gets an e-cookie!
You americans are so fucked.
Maga: => fascism
Democrats: => weeell some status quoi I guess
Third party: => same thing as not vote at all
Good luck, you need it!
We need some sort of cleverly worded campaign to say "without Ranked Choice Voting (or similar), there can be no true democracy."
I'm sure some grassroots stuff could get off the ground for that in many states. Just need people to understand WHY it's so important to leave First Past the Post behind.
Look what happened to bernie. Now imagine a campaign about changing the fundamental way of voting. Organise with the a local org instead.
They’re trying to make ranked choice illegal in Ohio right now. SB 63
Isn't the problem that it isn't one election but everyone sends some grand electors (like the french IV republic)? Not how you vote "locally"?
That is for President, not Congress, nor State.
Well of course.
Some places have those representatives elect the ruler, sort of. Your problem seems to be with the ruler, how he's elected and his powers
Our problem as of now isnt how the leader is elected, it's that he's deliberately ignoring the restrictions placed on him, and is doing acts that were specifically given to other branches of government, overstepping bounds, etc., all while the other two branches do fuck all to stop it. We need people with spines in congress, but all of our politicians happen to be invertibrates.
You put too much faith in your (high level) politicians. That's yet another of your problems, that once elected they seem to be able to do (or not do) whatever they want.
Don't you know what happens domestically and abroad historically doesn't impact me, and I am therefore required by law to disregard all of it as other people problems? Trump does impact me though, so if you don't do the one thing I think will stop him you're complicit in every single thing he does moving forward.
On one side a bunch of bad shit. You might be able to get made a little less bad.
On another, worse versions of ALL above bad shit, PLUS the literal destruction of all rights and hope and change going forward.
I absolutely blame you, because you factually destroyed hope of change because you were butthurt.
No one here was the person who decided to make Biden or Kamala the D's candidates. You should go talk to them with these complaints of yours.
Goodbye baby, sorry the bathwater just wasn't clean enough....
Bruh literally wants to defending a party who loses every election they step to the right on.
like, do you want to win or do you want the democrats to stay right? You have to pick.
Democrats prefer losing, it lines their pockets in donations and Republicans don't take them. Republicans kill the public, not the Democrats. So why would they ever care about the public? Winning doesn't make them money.
You aren't wrong.
Democratic consultants made more on 2024 than any election previous. Spent something like 1.5 billion dollars on stupid shit catering to either a) shitlibs/liberals who were always going to vote for them or b) republicans who were never going to vote for them.
Remember when lemmings were trying to gaslight us that going on "Call Her Daddy" was somehow going to win her the election.
She lost 6% of the voters who showed up for Biden. And Biden would have lost more. All because its more important for them to keep the party conservative than it is to win elections.
The DNC wants to pretend to fight so when they vote yes on Trump's demands they can say it's not a lie on ads when it's time for fundraising.
I have given up any hope on the national organization. They have promised basic, normal things then gave up on it.
They didn't even try to arrest Trump. How? How did they fail to even attempt to arrest the most obvious treason in the 21st century? It's just basic logic to arrest the people who break laws.
Or abortion like we were promised. Or legalizing canabis. Or student loan forgiveness. Or monthly checks. Or Biden being one term and never promising to run... Or...
Yeah the bathwater was filled with the blood of dead babies by US bombs. Sorry you don't get to splash around in it Elizabeth Báthory.
Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
