“Now more than ever we need to reach across the aisle and work together…”
The Time to Move Forward Is Now
Ah, 2021. A time of triumph and jubilation. Democrats coming together and saying “We won last time so now we’ll never lose again” and proceeding to write the opposition party off as toothless has-beens. What a magical moment for our country.
Why can’t we go back to brunch? I think the real reason is because leftist voters stabbed us all in the back. So we just need to pivot further to the Right if we want to reclaim our beautiful brunch-time again.
leftist voters stabbed us all in the back.
Victory was assured! It is the only explanation!
Uncommitted movement? Never heard of them in my life, must be an internet joke!
He literally mentioned turning the military on cities earlier during the rambling speech he’s giving right now, in between talking about the quality of paper he likes and complaining about not getting a Nobel prize, because people are apparently shooting firefighters off ladders.
Don’t worry everyone, Chuck Schumer is going to write one of his most strongly worded letters ever.
He’s already admitted that the only reason he’s in Congress is to keep the left pro-Israel. And even by that metric he’s a loser.
And send eight overwrought emails about how much it would help if you donated right now.
Newsom about to post to social media in all caps.
Yeah, and he’s gonna call Trump a fascist and possibly even a Nazi for the umpteenth time. That’ll show him!
Like in Germany, Italy, and Spain it will not be the Liberals that fight back. Liberals will bend the knee and beg for forgiveness while Social Democrats will protest until the military massacres them all. But it will be the revolutionaries, the Socialists, the Anarchists, and the Communists that will resist.
Then obviously the communists make the anarchists face the wall
Obviously
Then we’ll all get lined up and shot by fascists Or just Communists and liberals Who’ve been waiting all along to become the fascist cops
They haven’t made plans for that yet. Right now they are focused on fabricating national emergencies to cancel the midterms as the republicans are set to lose over a dozen seats as they destroy their communities and people tend to switch parties during midterms when the economy is struggling.
He is also threatening all the top military brass to start killing american citizens and getting rid of anyone the nazi administration doesn’t like.
We are at that moment in time were shit is about to get real crazy and most of the country will be too busy and uneducated to do anything about it, just as planned.
I missed the killing citizens thing, when did that happen
As you can tell, I am very busy and overwhelmed with so much I can’t keep track of all the shit that is going on
Yesterday. He wants the military to use Chicago as “training grounds” for our troops against US citizens.
Also the EO he just signed making anyone who isn’t a white Christian Republican a domestic terrorist gives law enforcement more ability to arrest and hurt the opposition.
Democrats are his “enemy within” and he told all his generals to use their power to fight us.
eyes on the New York mayoral election.
It’ll be a prelude to the general election.
And trump is already interfering in that election. and I bet he’ll deploy the national guard during the elections. Or straight up jail a candidate.
And major Democratic Party leaders hadn’t endorsed Mamdani. The Dems will just play the fiddle while DC burns.
It’s quite literally on the administrations to-do list.
If you’re worried about election integrity under the administration, please do volunteer, or work directly for your elections board if you can. We can really use the help, no matter where you are from.
If you have some spare cash, don’t be afraid to print out some fact sheets for people to take with them when voting, as long as you don’t violate canvassing laws of course.
Totally on board with your premise, they do need to punch up as much as they can. And it looks like they’re trying to do so this round of shutdowns.
Nonetheless, this ultimately comes down to us. All of us. We can’t just sit here behind a computer and meme ourselves out of this disaster. We have to get out in the streets. We have to yell get mad and be angry. We have to hit them where they feel it. We have to organize. Get with upset farmers, get with the military vets whom benefits have been cut, get with the middleclass milquetoast moms who are starting to feel like something isn’t right with their grocery bills.
Each and every single individual one of us is a single drop in the ocean, but, if we all move in the same direction, we become a crashing tsunami.
I’m Canadian, you guys should have been doing this since Regan, but better late than never I suppose
The pot says to the kettle.
Never said we’re blameless but we did manage to avoid electing maple flavored trump even once, nevermind twice
Oh shut up haha. The CA government is headed down the same path last time I checked. Fuckin America Lite up there.
Yeah, kinda wish you guys hadn’t decided to export your particular brand of capitalistic rot by osmosis. Our mistake was integrating with you guys as a policy and when the move was made outspoken politicians called it for what it was.
NAFTA fucked up every single country who signed it. Reagan and Mulroney were assholes.
The Democrats forced Trump to do all this. They’re the real bad guys!
The Democrats forced Trump to do all this.
The Democrats helped Trump do all this.
Almost as much as protests voters helped Trump do all this. Almost as much as the both sides are the same rhetoric helped Trump do all this.
protests voters
Which state flipped based on protest voters?
Do you have a source that shows protest voters didn’t have any impact?
At least as much evidence as you have that they did.
How many voters voted in 2020 compared to 2024?
https://votingrightslab.org/2024/11/25/how-state-election-laws-shaped-voting-patterns-in-2024/
Huge changes in voting law between those two election cycles
Any impact protest voters might have had could be outweighed a thousandfold by nonvoters. Why call out protest voters unprompted as a cause of an election swing when their impact is a drop in an ocean?
Half the country didn’t vote. If 1% of them leaned Biden they would still have had more impact than protest voters, and I feel like the percentage leaning Biden might have been slightly higher than 1%.
I feel like I see protest voters called out 300x as much as nonvoters and I can never understand why it’s so disproportionate.
Almost as much as protests voters helped Trump do all this.
Gee, if only there were some way democrats could have got those voters back on board. But they were too insignificant to matter until centrists needed someone to blame for the results of their unwillingness to represent people not named cheney or netanyahu.
When the electorate is polarized, you win by energizing your base to get more people to the polls. Abandoning your base one vulnerable group at a time not only fails to curry favor with the fascists that centrists desperately want to befriend, it also depresses turnout from your base as well. But since centrists like moving to the right and don’t want to stop, they treat their positions as sacrosanct and it is the voters who must capitulate. After all, our politicians capitulate by example so frequently.
If they were too insignificant to listen to, you don’t get to blame them. If they are significant enough to blame, they’re kingmakers and you should have been listening to them.
sheesh, literally the point my dad made yesterday unironically 😔
The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Democrats don’t really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child’s toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

It’s not about bad or good even, it’s about having “principles” and acting on them. Democrats in general, for better and worse, are permissive to all kinds of stuff but have a real hard time agreeing on where lines are drawn and picking hills to fight for and die on together.
It’s like a kid having a tantrum on the floor of a public place and the parent going “sorry this is horrible but this just how he acts” and doing nothing to correct them or change the situation when they totally can.
Republicans don’t really have that problem, even when it’s objectively the dumbest shit ever.
That’s the side effect of a 2 party system. If they could split up into smaller parties, they could at least stand on their opinion.
Absolutely
Principles.
Indeed. Edited.
Weird. It’s almost like it’s tankie/Russian propaganda. “Both sides are bad and the same and it’s hopeless! Give up.”
Not everyone who criticizes the dem party is a malicious. They are saying dems arent really trying and are actively blocking real change. Judging by how the party is treating Mamdani, its a valid take.
Almost
The first part is correct, both parties are owned by the same billionaires and consistently vote in the interests of those billionaires. The second part is some shit you made up because you don’t have a coherent counter-argument to the things the tankies are actually saying.
It’s an extremely transparent good cop/bad cop routine, quit being gullible
No one asked a tankie… anything ever
Lol k, stay stupid patriot
Yes, I’m such a PaTriOt that I am deeply ashamed of most of the things the US does. But hey, at least I’m not so shallow that I think cool red logos justify disgusting and brutal authoritarianism under a different name.

Your shame and a dollar would be worth a dollar.

Read like, any book from outside the States. Or speak to someone who actually lived in these “brutal authoritarian” states.
Oh go away accelerationist
Your shame is as worthless as your political action lol, authoritarianism is a thought-terminating buzzword employed by spineless liberals too terrified of the idea of wielding power for good to actually do anything to help
authoritarianism is a thought-terminating
This phrase renders all your words unlistenable. You just said that if a dictator is friendly to you, then they are good. Bye, blocked tankie.
Oh moralism. Here you are again.
If I represented people, I’d fuckin actuality do it. That’s just me, though. Maybe I’ll fuckin do it some day. Fuck these shits, on BOTH sides. I said it. They’re all shits. Shitty little shits.
Well, shit, man.
No, no, no. The more accurate Dem response is: “guess we’re gonna die then.”
“Guess I’ll die” shrugs
He certainly learned from other autocrats that, for example, you cannot hold elections during a civil war.
Martial Law exists in the current day to keep con men out of prison.
Wartime measures
Oh that would force Democrats to write a really strong worded letter. Probably multiple pages. You’ll see.
