An individual can do very little.
Which is why we organize, strike, and practice solidarity, together.
If you want to help, look for left movements in your area. Food Not Bombs for example.
It's almost like you're not engaging in a political discussion. More like you are a bot programed to demonize Luigi and apologize for the CEOs.
But I think it's your liberal brain worms rather than code. Either way...
Man read a book on that time period.
Those protests were not peaceful, a member of the business class almost got killed in his office.
And the national guard killed kids, women.
Striking and the threat of more striking is what happened not peaceful protests. And working folks died.
Neither Biden or Harris ran on, or pushed for, socialized healthcare. And by Independents you mean Democrats.
I don't remember Biden or Harris running on socialized health care so what are you talking about?
When folks are dying so oligarchs can make billions, there's already violence.
But folks lionizing Luigi is what bothers you?
Tbh, I had to look at your post history to be sure you weren't a propaganda bot.
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
Because Hyrule and I got to be both the princess and the hero. Plus being able to summon a royal bed whenever I want to take a nap is nice.
By design.
The duopoly has been spreading anti worker (i.e. anti-left) propaganda since the end of WW2. And the enlightened centrists (i.e. the Dems) you have been absolutely complicit in this.
The leftist platform, is hugely popular with voters. Stuff like single-payer healthcare. But not popular with the corporate owners of the duopoly.
So it has nothing to do with the left not having a platform. And everything to do with the center and the right keeping left platforms off the table.
Yeah, you probably saw the article yesterday about the head of the FEC. They tried to fire her and of course Musk is trying to get into all of those systems.
The only way the US is going to ever have fair elections again is after a lot of bloodshed. And possibly restructuring as a new nation.
Federal IT is basically fucked. The whole system would need to be replaced to get rid of all of the back doors Musk is installing.
Elections are over. Gtfo or figure out how to stay safe if you have to (I'm in the later camp, can't afford to move and hard to get a passport anyway being trans)
Exactly. Trump is being used by Vance and Musk. They both knew he was old and in poor health when they supported him.
No, but when you add internalized bigotry into the equation, I can see how a black man with mental health struggles ends up claiming to be a Nazi.
Likely internalized bigotry too. Considering when we hear about his mental health falling off it's always in this context of him claiming to be a Nazi.

That took me less than 10 minutes of digging. I'm sure if I spent another 10 minutes on it I could find five more studies.
This all of course is assuming that you are arguing in good faith. My guess is that you're not considering you put out such a bold claim when there's substantial evidence that that claim was inaccurate.
It certainly seems that way on .world lately.
I knew what the comments were going to be in this thread before I even opened it.
Left populism is popular. Center right positions coming from the Democrats are not.
Would you like fascism or diet fascism? Uhh... Neither. So I guess I will just stay home and not vote
(Actually, I did vote. But I can understand why a lot of people weren't motivated to).
Because he's a mobster that threatens people that don't do what he tells them.
Folks as a whole, really aren't that concerned with trans people. The anti-trans attack ads that Trump ran didn't really move the needle much.
The folks that you think are people in general, are just loud fucking bigots who want to see me dead.
Hospitals are fearful that if they don't comply with Trump's orders they will face Trump's aggression. That's why they are rolling over. They are fawning, it's a fear response.
If your male, spend the next 6 months wearing women's clothes and come back here and tell me if no one cares.
I started socially transitioning over the summer, and trust me I got lots of microaggressions. With a fascist in the White House, I am fearful for my life.
Hate crime related murder during his last administration was a 28-year high. And this round folks are even more emboldened because of his pardons.
And if no one really cares, why all the anti-trans laws?
Yeah, Vance and Musk are two peas in a pod. They're both tech fascists.
And only one of them is richer than God. I don't see Vance turning on his sugar daddy.
My mom keeps talking about how she thinks Trump is going to die soon anyway. And I keep telling her, I think Vance is twice as dangerous Mom.
Why do Democrats talk like they can win elections but then blame voters when they lose?
And to be honest, I don't really even follow your post. Are Democrats not progressives? Are we agreeing that they are center right and that their base isn't really motivated to vote for that?
