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.
Sindarina, Edge Case Detective@hacks4pancakes It's also worth remembering that 1) there are no real safe destinations, just less fucked-up ones, and 2) it takes a heck of a lot of privilege to be able to move somewhere else.
Fight it where you are.
@hacks4pancakes Oh, and 3) if you are moving from the US to elsewhere, you are pretty much guaranteed to be gentrifying at your destination, taking housing from the locals, and contributing to making it unaffordable for them.
Jay@sindarina @hacks4pancakes Ironically, not in Canada, considering their housing situation is even worse.

Also as a US/Canadian expat, our coming elections threaten to send Canada down the radical right road
And people here don’t seem to realize it mostly means continuing to sell off our healthcare system and any hope their kids will ever own a home
Both of which will contribute to what the RCMP describes as social inequity leading to wider societal collapse
When the cops warn the government about disasters, housing and inequality, things are getting bad
