You're a dumb fck then, and actually have no idea what "let it sink" even remotely entails. Don't get it twisted, I'm more than prepared for the worst, are you? can u really swim? make no mistake about, there will be burning and death, but not like some fcking video game, famine and people slowly dying of disease, many of them children, the stench of rotting corpses everywhere. And when its all done, the oligarchs will return from private islands and pick up where they left off!! Dumbass
Soon the whole world will be drowning, figuratively and literally, since the American People elected an anti-science government packed with climate-deniers. Fuck you People.

Trump's gonna dig a ditch around these morons, and they're gonna think they've been lifted up on a pedestal. But, all he's doing is isolating them to make it easier to pick them off.
image is erroneous. Maga would be at the end with the hole, standing on the edge, pointing and jeering at the left, who would be trying to bail the boat out while maga are trying to push them off.
I won't survive the next year or two. The amount of homeless people i know personally has grown 100 % in the last year. All I can do is get rid of my stuff to people that could use it. Trump is going to take away my disability and health care. I'm a goner. I got sick at the wrong time but at least I knew it.
If the boat sinks people die. LGBT people, women, minorities, some people have already been hurt. At this point it's about damage control and riding out this hell storm. IDGAF about vengeance right now, innocent people are being hurt because of MAGA voters.
I went from 'People are going to die' to ' Oh, I'M going to die.' Fortunately, I have nothing keeping me here but I'm pretty young and wish I wasn't so alone . I lost all my friends and family to the dark side. And sick MAGAs are clogging the safety nets and burning out the people who staff them. They'll happily use every free gov resource while happily claiming Trump will make everything cheaper while the TV scrolls ' cut gov spending'.
That's a dangerous statement, and one that is stated by people who have never seen or truly learned about civil unrest, or what it can do to a country, the innocent lives it takes, the starving masses, it'll likely last 3-5yrs, and only end when people tire of cleaning bodies off of main street USA and reach a half ass agreement. Which is when former ruling class people, who waited out the violence on their private island, swoop back in setting up a system that again benefits them/the wealthy
I agree with some things sinking, namely fiscal matters. They do need to feel the bed they made for us all, both those who voted for evil as well as corporations who've been bleeding people dry. That said, letting them reap what they sow shouldn't include letting them destroy whole groups of people, or destroy government completely, with no push back. They're going to pay, but we still need to try and protect innocent people, and (as much as we can) our democracy.
Omg right?? I hope the boat burns to the ground, we Americans deserve it. My plan for the future (since I can't afford to move out of the US) is to just kms 🤣🤣🤣
You're a dumb fck then, and actually have no idea what letting it "burn it to the ground" even remotely entails. Don't get it twisted, I'm more than prepared for the worst, are you? But make no mistake about, there will be burning and death, but not like some fcking video game, famine and people slowly dying of disease, many of them children, the stench of rotting corpses everywhere. And when its all done, the oligarchs will return from private islands and pick up where they left off!! Dumbass
That's actually the best, most honest reply I've gotten from someone that wants to "burn it all down". In that case, my bad, and I'm sorry for your depression, carry on then, at least you're going into it from a place of reality. And to tell you the truth, with my depression, PTSD, and a few shit sandwiches life has thrown at me recently, I might pull up a lawn chair and join u for a couple drinks as we watch the whole thing burn to the ground before taking our leave!! 😉
The problem is that option sacrifices immigrants and the lgbtqia. The plain and simple truth is this is just a setback. I do think it is time to look inward and get involved in your own communities. Like, I'm sorry, but the fact is there's places in America where you shouldn't go. There's apparently nothing we can do about that. The South is still racist, and apparently the Midwest as well
Sorry, I didn't mean to throw shade, yes there is a lot of bigotry and racism in rural areas too, We all have to do our part though, since I can't be as active as I was when i wore a younger man's clothes, i do my best to do what I can. Like, despite being a cis gendered male, I use my preferred pronouns on everything I fill out online or in person, call out a racist comment that makes the social gathering uncomfortable until they realize it's not me but the comment that is upsetting people.
It is just a setback, and there's plenty of racism and bigoty in big cities too, so don't be throwing all us small town folks in middle America under the bus, there's a lot of us out here bustin' our behinds to build our communities from the inside out, trying to change hearts n minds from the belly of the beast, and it may not appear to be working with this last election, but with the piss poor job the Dems did campaigning, I knew 2 months ago the orange monkey was a shoe in.
Good point My town in the bluest state voted overwhelmingly republican. I drove by a banner on my way home that said I was in 100% MAGA country. It's true.
Trump only barely gained votes over 2020. Kamala had millions fewer votes than Biden. It's not unreasonable to conclude that most of the people who voted in '20 but stayed home in '24 were Biden voters.
To be fair... Dems *aren't* doing enough and the two party system is dumb because the choice is between some progress while maintaining extreme wealth inequality, and straight up fascism while worsening the extreme wealth inequality. The first option only looks like enough because of the latter.
To be fair... Dems *aren't* doing enough and the two party system is dumb because the choice is between conservatives worsening extreme wealth inequality, and straight up fascism while worsening the extreme wealth inequality. The first option only looks like enough because of the latter.
Democrats are conservatives. Learn that lesson. I'll still vote for them because it's the better choice, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Dem near the center of the boat should be blaming the Dem at the back of the boat (the Progressive) that it's their fault they are even in this mess.
People got mad when I said this awhile back. I asked them how are they going to explain this to their kids and friends when they find out. Their silence was the answer.
They're also drilling holes in other country's boats. I'm Canadian and they're already talking about 25% tariffs on our goods ahead of getting into office, like cool, our biggest export trade partner (by a large majority) is the USA so fuck us too I guess. Nevermind we're about to repeat the same shit up here next year, calling it now anyways since people up here are "tired" of our "left" party also. I see why they don't like history books, they want it to repeat itself.
to be fair the non voter in that is correct. Dem's have done very little over past many yrs (since obama) & the whole jan 6th & voting being so critical SHOULD of been red flag to change voting laws & even figure ways out to encourage people to WANT to vote..be it tax cut, cash, etc.
So instead of voting for people that do nothing they'd rather people that purposefully make shit worse return? You get how that still doesn't make sense and makes the non voter just as stupid as a republican, right?
Not to be 'that guy' the dems could've done more to prevent the guy from having access to the drill and only tried verbal reprimanding the guys drilling the hole instead of actually trying to stop them because they were so concerned with appearing civil. That doesn't excuse or justify nonvoters in any way but those who voted and taking part in bailing the boat out are fully justified in being pissed at a party who barely put up a fight against the rising fascist.
You're missing the billionaire on the nearby mega yacht that owns the news, using it to tell the non-voter and Republicans that the Dems are to blame for the hole.
If Trump didn't have billions of dollars of positive media and algorithms that were made to favor far-right reactionaries and extremism, he would have just been seen as the Emperor with No Clothes that he truly is by a majority of voters. But rich people spent enough to pin their social and economic sins on Biden and immigrants.
I have a theory that the parts of the MSM (that aren't Murdoch or similar) were "only" trying to nerf what they assumed would be Harris's victory.
They wanted a Lame Duck Democrat who would be forced to compromise with a Republican House/Senate and so couldn't bring in 'radical reforms' like reinstating the Fairness Doctrine.
But like in 2016, they didn't factor in Russian interference and other dirty tricks.
What they were afraid of was Harris with control of the entire Legislative Branch.
I agree: the Dems were trying to play chess with a pigeon who just kept shitting on the board and ignoring all the rules. Trump should have been in prison three years ago, at least! The Dems acted like the public would give a shit if the Repubs broke all the rules, but the public wants the Dems to stand up against this shit with more than stern words. Biden is still in office until January: I wish he would fucking DO SOMETHING!
Because Trump doesn't give a shit if what he's wanting to do is illegal or immoral or not in his official job, he's gonna do it anyway because no one is going to stop him.
Exactly. They held the door open. They helped usher in the destruction of two countries they purported to support. They helped usher in a scorched earth policy on their own country. They helped usher in the accelerated erosion of their own rights, the disappearance of their trans friends (hope they lost some friends) and the remission of their daughters, wives, neices, girlfriends and mothers' rights. It showed just how shitty they were and how easy they turned traitor. F around, FIND OUT.
The democratic party needs to learn that trying to be centrist doesn't work. They need to go hard left, and promise real change on damn near every issue. Half-ass doesn't cut it. The public wants universal healthcare, free college, workers protections, legal cannabis, paid maternity leave required by law, free childcare, the rich to actually be held responsible for crimes, science-backed solutions, etc. Wearing a rainbow flag pin for one month a year isn't enough.
Ding ding ding ding!!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!! Thank you!! I've been saying that going back to them needing to get sleepy Joe to step down and let someone else younger have a shot. I just didn't foresee Harris making such an exaggerated dash towards centrist territory or cozying up to Liz friggin Chaney. What voters was that move supposed to sway to vote blue, cheez n cracker Dems, pull your heads out your arses.
Exactly. And THATS the real problem, not that Americans don't want these things, but that Dems won't ever even offer them as an option because their politicians been bought by corporate interests. Get money out of the politics, and we'd all be better off, but if won't happen without (most likely) violence and/or war.
Europe speaking here: if i would run ( i cant , not from the usa) with this program as an independent, you and everybody here would scream to not vote for me because it would hurt the chances of the bought by big business democratic opponent. This is your problem as a country
Believe me, I KNOW. If you run as an independent, you have no chance due to the way our system is currently set up. What I'm saying is that the Democratic party need to make this far left candidate their main candidate. But we didn't even have a primary, we didn't even have the option of choosing our candidate this time. The US needs a new constitution, but we probably won't get that until after a civil war.
What Progressives need to do is join the Democrat Party in massive numbers and do to it what the Evangelicals did to the Republican Party.
The Evangelicals didn't get their influence and control by threatening to not vote, they got it by being the most reliable voting block in the GOP. - ESPECIALLY IN THE PRIMARIES.
If every local Democrat Party meeting was stacked with all the 'Lefties', then they could outnumber Corporate Democrats. It's the last thing the Corporate Democrats want...
Well stated!! Smartest thing (for them), the evangelicals ever did was cozy up to Reagan when his numbers were slipping in his 1980 POTUS campaign. People forget the immediate years after Roe v Wade, there was not much outrage, at all, something like 61% of Republicans polled said they were fine with abortion being legal, and the evangelicals were the only group making a stink. So they said hey Ronnie, need a hot button issue, we got one for ya, you just gotta make us relevant again.
I must be much more pessimistic than you. I don't think they'll wait until people get mad at them, I think going after and eliminating their political & personal opponents *is* the agenda, particularly for Trump himself. Worse still, I fear it may not even count as "unpopular".
ah fuck, I knew I should have explained better. It should be read as "it's too late now to be angry, we already fucked you over. Thank you for the votes, now give us your ass"

People generally do what they're paid to do, though, and that's the real problem with US politics.

Corporate Dems and donors would rather Republicans get elected than risk any kind of left or progressive agenda targeting their interests.

Exactly. And THATS the real problem, not that Americans don't want these things, but that Dems won't ever even offer them as an option because their politicians been bought by corporate interests. Get money out of the politics, and we'd all be better off, but if won't happen without (most likely) violence and/or war.

Europe speaking here: if i would run ( i cant , not from the usa) with this program as an independent, you and everybody here would scream to not vote for me because it would hurt the chances of the bought by big business democratic opponent. This is your problem as a country
ThrowAwayAcct0000
Believe me, I KNOW. If you run as an independent, you have no chance due to the way our system is currently set up. What I'm saying is that the Democratic party need to make this far left candidate their main candidate. But we didn't even have a primary, we didn't even have the option of choosing our candidate this time. The US needs a new constitution, but we probably won't get that until after a civil war.

What Progressives need to do is join the Democrat Party in massive numbers and do to it what the Evangelicals did to the Republican Party.
The Evangelicals didn't get their influence and control by threatening to not vote, they got it by being the most reliable voting block in the GOP.
- ESPECIALLY IN THE PRIMARIES.
If every local Democrat Party meeting was stacked with all the 'Lefties', then they could outnumber Corporate Democrats.
It's the last thing the Corporate Democrats want...

Well stated!! Smartest thing (for them), the evangelicals ever did was cozy up to Reagan when his numbers were slipping in his 1980 POTUS campaign. People forget the immediate years after Roe v Wade, there was not much outrage, at all, something like 61% of Republicans polled said they were fine with abortion being legal, and the evangelicals were the only group making a stink. So they said hey Ronnie, need a hot button issue, we got one for ya, you just gotta make us relevant again.

I must be much more pessimistic than you. I don't think they'll wait until people get mad at them, I think going after and eliminating their political & personal opponents *is* the agenda, particularly for Trump himself. Worse still, I fear it may not even count as "unpopular".

ah fuck, I knew I should have explained better. It should be read as "it's too late now to be angry, we already fucked you over. Thank you for the votes, now give us your ass"
