Luckily, they’re not bringing ink into this, only thermal paper!

Serbia is mini Russia? I thought that was Belarus.

Surely you mean the much worse “Max”.

Also, if you replace the government fucking you with giant corporations fucking you… is that any better??

Messaging has always been a big problem for the Democratic Party. Unlike the GOP, they are a “big tent”, so many points of view abound. There’s just no comparison to the organized, disciplined, well-funded messaging of right-wing media…

“Huh. I threw away my vote and now they’re talking about implementing Project 2025 during Trump’s revenge administration! Weird…”

“Do you hear yourself right now?”

I would never treat people the way I feel towards printers! Hateful, vile things…

PC LOAD LETTER

Apologies, I wasn’t trying to be productive. The time for that was before the election. Swifties, Gen Z, Gen X, Millennials, boomers, women, men, minorities, etc had the chance to stop Project 2025 and we all failed. I think election results show low turnout across all demographics? And now a lot of people are going to be hurt by the Trump/GOP policies of hate…

This country is fucked. We can’t breed our way out of it, and trying is gross.

Same.

There’s a reason I haven’t put my dick away since then…

We thought we could bargain with and persuade “conservatives”. They voted for this, they are okay with women dying in hospitals because the doctors can’t legally intervene. The supposed “Pro Life” party. I wasn’t okay with abortion early in my male, hetero, American, white, life but now I see. They are only pro-fetus. Once a child is born, Republicans don’t care if they starve, if they have access to clean water, if they can afford food, if they have shelter, if they are raped, etc… Multiply that by about 100x if they don’t have white skin.

“Conservatives” are almost as bad as MAGAts, and just as unreachable with reason, logic, and empathy. I don’t have a solution, I’m just pissed off. And I’m far from the most-harmed people will be the result of this greed, racism, apathy, and hate. Sorry…

If they had voted, they wouldn’t have to worry about anything else.

You… did?

Why is mommykink?

Again, I appreciate the information but “revolution” is a nebulous term. What’s the realistic plan to get there?

Voting can’t get us there.

I’d believe that if we had enough participation. Look at the number of eligible voters, then look at the margins on every single candidate and issue. If enough people had voted, we would have literally put fascism behind us and had election reform. First past the post would be a distant memory. Which again, is the absolutely required first step before 3rd-party candidates become viable in the US.

Voting works if enough people vote. But we do have the numbers! I realize getting people to participate is the harder problem than just saying an ideology will solve everything, but that’s the world we live in. Any realistic plan for revolution must at least include voting as long as voting is still an effective part of progress.

This is actually so true. We’re all dazed and staggered. Donald Trump won. But he’ll win even more and do more damage if he keeps us all feeling helpless and powerless going forward. We’re not.

What are these groups’ position on voting for 3rd party candidates in the US’s “first past the post” climate? Genuinely asking. I’m all for organizing and educating, but until we can end the correct 2-party system, these candidates are in no way viable.

Damn, that already feels like a million years ago. You didn’t have to be a news junkie like me to see that quote and know that Trump lost the only debate the coward showed up to. Literally unfit to lead. Yet people just said “don’t care, want boot!” and voted him in anyway. So embarrassed for my stupid country…
