    Could argue that everyone who didnt give a fuck about genocide because it didnt directly affect them voted to kill 100,000 plus people.

    Could argue that the same violence happening in Gaza, the same thought process, is exactly what’s happening here. The violence committed 3000 miles away for decades under US rule is coming home to roost.

    If Americans were so pissed off about trump they would be out in the streets protesting every single day. But they’re too fat and lazy and dont know how to protect their rights. So if you want to sit there and be dickslapped by democrats pointing at Republicans and aaying they’re bad while half of them vote alongside them at every single point, then ya good luck. You’re not gonna go anywhere except further right. Get in an actual left leaning party with an actual.policy that isn’t “keep the status quo that has failed consistently going” and you might have a chance to have a democracy again.

      Maybe one should START WINNING LOCAL AND STATE ELECTIONS FIRST SO THEY CAN HAVE SOME FUCKING MEMBERS IN CONGRESS.

      But yeah, let’s join an effectively non-existent left leaning party with absolutely no clout because they can’t even be bothered to focus what resources they have into taking the first realistic steps of winning local elections.

      Protests only work on politicians who are beholden to the people.

      Trump is only driven by grift. The people who support him are only driven by power.

      The whole country could protest, and it wouldn’t mean a thing to them.

      We are protesting every day, but I believe we’ve surpassed any option for a peaceful return to government. Maybe… Just maybe if republicans lose every seat in the next 2 congressional elections…
