The only thing stopping us from forming a new federal government is believing that the current one will follow the rules. They will not. So we should not. We need to make a new declaration of independence from the current federal. They have destroyed the original and have out down far too much for us to repair it. We must start anew.
If this election is proven to be a farse (which it’s leaning to) , us Americans need to become New America and eliminate these evil people once and for all.
Remember we are agreeing to follow the rules. We do not have to if we feel the current leadership is not within our best intrest.
Keep your basic morals in place, no need for chaos to rein. Be kind, be loving, and lead with liberty and justice for all, by any means necessary.
America is way overdue for a second civil war - something nobody outside the US would give a flying fuck about if America wasn’t dragging the entire world down the drain with it.
Who still believes the U.S. is a democracy? Seriously, you’d have to be a deluded nationalist not to see that this system has as little to do with democracy as elections in Russia do.
They got their base last year to deride everyone who mentioned US democracy with “We’Re a rEpUbLiC!” I imagined it was for making the lack of any democracy the new normal.
I’m so tired of people still acting like everything is normal in the Untied States. After November, can the world finally acknowledge that the Untied States has been taken over by a fascist dictatorship?
You’d have to participate in the democracy in a meaningful way. It’s not just waiting every 4 years to vote or attending an 8 hr protest/fundraiser
Who thinks they’re helping anything by positing democracy as a “yes” or “no” situation? Congratulations, you have no understanding of the fragile balance it has always been.
Faith.
Belief without evidence.
The cancer that destroys modern civilization.
Yup. If you can be tricked into believing bullshit without any evidence and mountains of evidence against it then you will believe anything the most horrible people tell you. Just look at all those Christians and Trump.
Not a coincidence that the Party of God in the US is the one devolving the country into barbarism. Same thing happened when a Party of God took control in Iran.
I love the
uneducatedpoorly educated! -TrumpActually, he said poorly educated
When one party plays by the rules and the other party doesn’t, the moral victory only works when that same cheating party’s entire existence isn’t based on vice signaling. Since it is, maybe it’s time to start showing them where their vice gets them in the real world.
Trump: “I’m going to rig the next election”
Liberals: “Damn, looks like Trump’s going to rig the next election”
US media: “Liberals have fallen for a long debunked conspiracy theory about election integrity. Here’s how AI can help.”
why participate? This was the peaceful alternative. All I see is flames in our future.
Look at what Hungary did. That’s why. They voted their way out of authoritarianism, so can we.
Has enough time even passed to prove that?
I mean the future isn’t knowable but they got rid of Viktor Orbán in favor of a pro-EU guy who ran on anti-authorianism, healthcare, and public transport. Sounds like a much better option to me. And they did it by quite literally making it too big to rig.
Promising then, but we can’t be for sure until time is in its grave. It would be nice if something similar happened in the States. But I highly doubt it. If anything we are firmly moving in the opposite direction straight into hell. Which brings me back to my original statement, why deal with any of this? Get the people together, kick all the corpo dick suckers out, and if we have to have a government (not sorry, anarchist) let’s at least force one that works for the people. I know I’m not the only one who feels like they just can’t stand this any longer and I am beginning to feel like the activism I do is meaningless. I won’t stop, but I need change. And good change, fast.
What does not participating accomplish, exactly? Even if I’m unlikely to succeed, between a 0.0001% chance and a 0% chance, I’m going for the 0.0001% every time.
We stop wasting time picking the least evil and just do this to all evil in the country? Not voting doesnt mean we aren’t grabbing pitch forks and torches. Because its about time to do just that. The emperors can’t even pretend they have clothes on anymore. This is worse than Rome in the final days.
Yes. You got the implied message--you can’t win, don’t even try.
you can’t win, don’t even try
Too many Americans assume popular resistance can only happen on a single day, once every two years, in November.
Well, IF firehose-of-lies has the inalienable-right-to-displace-accurate-truth, THEN … it’s inescapable an endstate.
Too bad.
ELSEIF true-expression has more rights than false-expression, THEN firehose-of-lies doesn’t have any inalienable-right-to-displace-accurate-truth, & then “free speech” has to be constitutionally-limited to free TRUE speech.
FAFO, humankind:
universe’s going to be pruning-down this world throughout the next 1/2-century,
& whether we exist on the other side of that pruning-down, rests directly on our objectivity, correct-reasoning, pragmatism, honesty, uprightness, forbearance, accuracy, etc.
Ignorance’s will … isn’t viable, in the Perfect Storm we’re about to be caught-in.
& that is beautiful: universe’s elegance is itself.
It weeds-out intentional-ignorances, at any scale: individual-scale, all the way up … even planet-scale.
It makes itself clean of intentional-retardedness, no matter how ideological it is.
