With one party we can talk about shitty elected officials and run for office and campaign to get more progressive candidates in office. In the other there are never trustworthy elections or checks and balances ever again. Stop fucking following Russian bot taking points. They are not the same.
You either want a messy democracy or no democracy.
Nobody is thrilled with Biden’s handling of a lot of shit, but at least with the Democrats there’s hope to have presidents not just figureheads, monarchs, and oligarchs for the rest of our lives and several generations’. Grow the hell up.
The Supreme Court coup and decisions this week should make it abundantly clear where we are headed and exactly what theocrats and the ultra wealthy want. The next president could easily choose several justices.
I’ve absolutely had it with wish-washy people relatively safe in their privilege both sidsing this shit. Vote. Be active locally. Use your voice.
The rest of us have legitimate expat escape plans at this point for our own safety or that of our loved ones.
@hacks4pancakes where? The entire world swings hard right, and the south is becoming unlivable
@stooovie it wouldn’t be a safe escape plan if I shared. There’s a lot of safer options, though.
@hacks4pancakes @stooovie Its "one world" like the song says. Even the more stable countries and regions will suffer instability, depression, violence, intolerant mobs and what-have-you. Unless you're hitching a ride to Mars with Musk, (yes, that's sarcasm) we all have to stick it out and try to get some kind of rationality to prevail. People are starting to see that the worst gas-lighting on every issue is created by identifiable people. They are a minority, and they can be stopped.
