Democrats are either incompetent or complicit. There is no third option.
Complicit, and they get paid handsomely for it too.
Sounds about right. Almost like capitalism benefits from fascism and both parties are on team capitalism.
Hum… The one thing I understand about the US elections is that primaries exist.
If they didn’t, you would already been formally in a dictatorship for decades.
There’s primaries like there are other candidates for leader of North Korea.
I can’t wait to be called a Trump supporting Nazi because I won’t vote for Gavin Newsom
If your choices are Don Jr or Gavin Newsom for President, what do you vote for?
As someone who has voted in every election I could, I wouldn’t bother. I’d vote up and down ballot for every local race and ballot measure, but there would be no point for the presidency if it is a free and fair election. Newsom winning would be all but guaranteed.
The fascists will be thrown under the bus for a few years after Trump is gone. We haven’t seen the worst of what he has to offer, and anyone trying to emulate him after he dies is guaranteed to lose any fair election. Corpos will want stability, so they’ll use their propaganda machines to bury the unpopular and leaderless Republicans so they can elect a neo feudalist. Most of the corruption will not be rolled back and regulations on the rich will stay non-existent, allowing the exact same shit or worse to happen again.
Any alternative to Republicans will win, so if Newsom is on the ticket then America has already lost. The only way to rebuild immediately after Trump is through radical reforms that will not happen under Newsom. We are looking at a post fall of Rome or a Century of Humiliation type future.
Well thats a situation where you can feel comfortable with a protest vote i guess. Personally I didn’t think Trump was going to win this last election and I was wrong so I no longer feel safe enough to take those risks.
Well we got Biden into office because he was the only one that could beat Trump and defeat MAGA fascism forever, right?
The US has, at the very best, a 4 year break from Zio-MAGA fascism (if we make it to 2029), but imo the curtain is already closed.
I agree. I hold out hope that things will have gotten so bad that youths will increase their voting power as my parents generation dies off from self inflicted wounds, but history hasn’t been comforting.
I just hope they arent dont feel like their votes continue to not matter like the people in this thread keep repeating.
I always knew Trump could win and I immediately knew why. I still haven’t mentally recovered and I still don’t know how I’m gonna survive the hell the Democrats’ decades of failures have brought upon us.
