  • If Harris was president we’d be seeing failure after continued failure to properly put Trump in prison. Which is my exact point. The US government will protect Trump, and as an extension fascists, regardless of who is interested white house. Not even in just the US, but internationally.

    Even when Biden was president it was rare to see any insurrectionist get more than 10 years in prison. And that was with a DoJ that should have been ruthless in every instance.

    The solution? The system is too big to sustain itself. The US is an ouroborus that will not live out the century at this rate. The best answer I can see is a balkanized and restructured US. At least then there is a good chance of seeing a less widespread amount of damage on the world stage from a dying, flailing empire.


  • Yeah, because voting automatically makes every single fascist/imperialist element from a government disappear. Something that’s been building up in the US since the early 20th century and fostered by nearly every aspect of the US government. Even in roles that have no elected position. Yeah, voting would have definitely saved us. 🙄

    This is why no one who understands the US system takes this line of thinking seriously.




  • What peacekeeper? Biden was supplying the genocide too. It’s a principled stance. We won’t vote for genocide whether it’s red or blue running the show. And no, the blood isn’t on my hands since I didn’t approve, or purposely give my tax money to Israel. Biden, and now Trump are doing that.

    On top of that the Biden administration had 4 years and confirmation by the Supreme Court he could essentially do whatever he wanted as president. And he still did nothing but had over the case to a DoJ that did fuck all about it.

    Also you glossed over my other points of Biden’s failures.

    Edit: You also realize Israel was literally bombing civilians in Lebanon when Biden was president right? Or did you alreadh forget ablut the pager bombs Israel planeted in Lebanon? And Biden still gave them a shit ton of weapons, and only effectively blocked one type of weapons shipment as a political maneuver.


  • Sustaining genocide in Gaza is a big one. Kamala’s campaign was literally told by a sizeable number of voters that they wont vote for her unless she opposes it. It’s the primary reason Kamala lost the election. And that’s before mentioning that the Democratic convention didn’t even give the greater party the ability to choose a candidate. The only choices were Biden and Kamala, and neither offered any worthwhile promise to their voter base. They just hit the “were not Trump” angle expecting to automatically win because of it.

    On top of that- Failing to enshrined any trans-rights or abortion protections into law is a big one. They’re also just as anti-worker as Republicans. Biden is the one who shutdown the rail strike, claiming the workers were “too necessary” to allow them to strike.

    Democrats don’t actually care about the causes they supposedly champion. So why should voters pretend like they do?

    And as a preemptive comment: obviously Trump and Republicans are fascists. But the majority of Dems in power have more in common with their coworkers than they do with their average voter.
