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.
ig88ds@hacks4pancakes , this crap has been giving me anxiety for years and it only gets worse as we approach January.
@ig88ds things are very bad and not enough people are taking real societal collapse seriously
railmeatHow do you get away from societal collapse? It will affect everyone everywhere.
@railmeat I fantasize about living in the woods and leaving society behind. I know this is unrealistic as I have no survival skills and crap will eventually reach me no matter where I go, but a guy can dream.
But seriously: be safe, keep up with current events, and adapt your plans as necessary. I fear Manny people will at very least lose their voice (if not other rights) as the steamroller keeps going. Big business and lobbying groups have bought off politicians on both sides. Conservatives are just being more overt about it. Long term prosperity of individual citizens hasn't been in the cards for a while but this year will be the year of end stage capitalism and oligarchs.
