Anyone imagining that upcoming elections will occur "normally," midterm or otherwise, is sorely deluded. Installing repugnicans in 2020 guaranteed the end of (1) open voting and (2) neutral ballot counting.
They define "far-left" as anyone less conservative than they are. That means you. Yes, you. Even if you're one of the MAGA trolls that floats around here. You're on that fuckin' list too. Somewhere there's some ultra-MAGA super-Nazi who thinks your beliefs aren't far-right enough.
far left terrorism is such a brainless stupid narrative...
it's something perpetuated by the conservative block to try and hide the goal of their own agenda - to whitewash society and enforce compliance to their own Judeo-Christian morality ...
the left wants the gay people to allowed to be gay.. the trans people to be their own identity, women to have the right to control their own destiny. people free to make their own individual way in life
I feel like the left is stepping on my centrist turf lately. They've come around to appreciating the value of the 2nd amendment and states rights. They're welcome obviously, but it's a strange experience for me.
Yup. The center today WAS the far right 20 years ago.
Mamdani is using taxes collected from residents to pay for municipal services for residents... and he's called a communist. That's just the literal definition of how government works in a non-corrupt world.
If you guys ever manage to go back to a sane(ish) administration, you're gonna seriously need to do something to hold these people accountable on calling everyone they don't like a terrorist. This rhetoric should simply not exist in a supposedly democratic nation. I'm not saying voting them out, I'm saying entirely eradicating this mindset.
Is it your time to act yet? https://youtu.be/0YFdwfNh5vs Because if you think that Trump fascism will finally be stopped in January when a wave of Democrats take the majority in the House and Senate, you are sleepwalking across the Rubicon. You are actually just a few steps from the south bank. Even if there are elections in November - and even that is a big if - the Trumpists are already prepared to make sure they don't lose power.
Idk if the Republicans are willing to make that kind of move for trump specifically tbh. But mostly because they know the democrats are still no threat to them. They vote care much if it just means Schumer and Jeffries are in charge of Congress… cause why would they. And for anyone reading this, not because the Republicans aren’t fascist, but because the democrats are way closer to fascists than most people are willing to admit 🤷🏻
For me it was the presidential immunity ruling. Trump v United States. That was a big sign of the GOP seizing too much power for their cult leader. But nothing ever ends, all these fascists will eventually be dead, you gotta keep resisting anyway.
It doesn't matter if the old faschists die if they institue policies and plans to make their successors untouchable outside of armed revolt.
Trump will not live to see the inside of a prison cell or even to be arrested. The rest of his croneies that latched on to him for power and wealth however should bear the burden of their sins for putting him into power.
Trump and crew are not worried about the elections. They'll let them happen to make the populace think they matter, and that they care what The People think. Trump has already leaked that Lindey was "scheduled to win" or something. They will allow only elections they have rigged to count, and will block or "sue" anything they don't like. I've said a thousand times, Trump is NOT LEAVING OFFICE WHILE ALIVE. And the GOP will not quietly leave once he is dead. They will never give up power.
Who owns the company that the majority of States get the voting machines from? The company that makes the devices most polling locations use to determine who's eligible to vote? Scott Leiendecker, election expert and staunch Republican is the 100% owner of Liberty Vote and KNOWiNK. He's the de facto admin tech for elections in 40 states. Trump is doing what he's said, soon we won't have to worry about voting anymore. https://thehill.com/business/5547784-dominion-voting-systems-liberty-vote/
Only in a far left echo chamber would such nonsense be applauded. It is the progressives that fight honest elections. Why do they oppose photo id to vote? Why do they resist review of voter roles for citizenship? Only one reason. Their political power depends on cheating.
Homie, they can’t produce any evidence of voter fraud. They haven’t for years. So why do you think they want to tighten things if it isn’t about fraud?!?! ITS TO STOP PEOPLE FROM VOTING. The save act will make it WAAAAYYYYY harder for people to vote. Why are you FOR new laws making voting harder if there isn’t a problem needing of solving?
The issue with voter ID is that they only allow certain types of voter ID; the kind that POCs are less likely to have. This isn't my speculation. Republicans in court were found to have selected valid IDs based on racial discrimination.
Just allow all government-issued photo IDs and make getting one for citizens easy. But they oppose that.
Keep telling yourself that, it doesn't have to be true, to make yourself feel better. -_^
You are either a troll with no education, ie., a mentally deficient troglodyte, or one of the pridefully stupid, which is practically synonymous. The "Right," are documented fascist CUNT criminals, who went out of their way to harm groups of people in Society, while helping no one, but themselves.
If you are this detached from reality & this fuckin stupid; there's nothing to discuss. I just pity you. -_-
Thanks for sharing, account who has only a handful of comments in the past year and half. I'm sure you are a very real person with real opinions and totally not a puppet account.
This is the literal thing they've been doing on all bigger social media, using old stagnant accounts that were either created for this very thing, or accounts gotten through ill means. If you look at TikTok, for instance, you'll see the same thing Reddit. It's very tiring.

I was curious about his comment, so I went and looked through his other comments and posts. I don't think it is mere "disagreements" that is getting him called a fascist.
We really need to just forget the projection aspect of this whole thing. Like by now, most people already know, even if only subconsciously. At this point in time, we really need to focus on pushing back.
C'mon, bro, just one more election. You gotta give us Newsom and then it'll all be better. C'mon, bro! Just one more and we can forget this ever happened! No need to push back after that! Bro! C'mon! I swear it'll be different this time! BRO!
I think a "Manhattan Project" style approach is more suitable -- do everything we can all at once towards the goal of creating the fair, just, equitable and charitable society in which we wish to live.
Yeah, I'm pretty tired of trying to "be reasonable". These people have had enough time. The capitalists have screwed things up enough. Time for real change. We can feed, clothe and house everyone. Anyone that tries to stop those things is trying to increase suffering. How we get there is a little more complicated, but not as much as people think. Mostly just the willpower to start doing it.
Let’s be honest, the only reason they “had time” is because they knew if they played within certain margins, people wouldn’t be angry enough to actually do anything that matters.
I guess? Damn near every spot on the political spectrum fucking sucks lol. There’s no place that has “equal rights for all, some gun ownership, and taxes go towards education, infrastructure, housing, medical, etc” there’s like always a trade off somewhere
They fight to uphold (or, at best, gently nudge) the status quo, which is presently a fascist takeover of our government; they are complicit in action, if not in word. Plus, centrism implies the right holds at least some better views than the "rights and better conditions for everyone" left; there is no moral or ethical equivalence, so being in the middle is supporting the right.
Centrism values stability over improvement, and order over justice. In some ways, it's even more small-c conservative than conservatism. It's also fundamentally dishonest about what it is and what it seeks; it's not about compromise and striking a pragmatic balance, it's about using the idea of balance to justify ideological purity in service of specific policy goals that include elements from both left and right but which are distinct from either while being no less prone to radicalism.
(Centrism benefits greatly from being the status quo; if it was not the dominant paradigm, it would be extremely difficult for it to present itself in as favorable of a light as it does. It relies heavily on the notion that what we have is nearly ideal so any change from it is reckless and driven by irrational ideology rather than a common-sense desire to not mess up a good thing. And never you mind that this "good thing" includes firm socioeconomic hierarchy with ever-decreasing class mobility)
It’s cute you think there will be another election and that a democrat will save us. Democrats are just blue MAGA. They don’t give a fuck about us and never will.
Did I say “don’t vote”? The whole “vote blue no matter who” is one of the reasons Trump rose to power. Democrats are just slightly left. But because we have a stupid two party system that doesn’t allow anyone but democrats or republicans to have a chance at winning we’re trapped in an endless cycle of corporatists and fascists. There’s no room for other parties to rise up. Over 35% of Americans identity as independent but because neither party represents their interests they don’t vote.
