those are a bunch of rationalizations. working americans have been pissed for decades and things have not improved. its why everything is going to go tits up for the rest of the decade.
they dont care about trump. they’re pissed no one represents them anymore and life keeps getting harder. there is a reason cars are starting to be lit of fire.
maybe you should consider why. its not because people miss cheney or care about the border. but running candidates like ‘nothing will change’ and ‘I cant think of anything different i’d do’ might not be a good strategy.
Yes due to harris and the Democrats abandoning their base to cater to trumps.
Its funniest when they’re allowed to be sold but no one buys
Child, most voting americans dont know wtf fascism even fucking means.
Stop thinking you can wave the word around have it make your argument for you. Kamala could gave easily won if she made an strong case for how she was going to improve peoples lives at home and not make people feel like they were contributing to genocidal slaughter.
But she decided to continue gaslighting during her campaign just like she did as VP and as a congress critter. People notice these things.
Trump is a mess people like yourself have made by being completely fucking blind to the reality around you.
The voters for trump fucking like trump.
Many voters for democrats hate the fucking Democrats.
What you need to understand is that voters dont have a short memory, but they do encode information as vague emotional recollections.
When harris has a history of fucking the american workers over they remember the feeling of betrayal and annoyance if not the specific actions.
When harris decided to put non violent criminals in jail as an AG, people remember.
When harris decided to back track on healthcare, people remember.
When harris decided to let minimum wage increase die because of an unelected, non binding individuals opinion, people remember.
When harris decided to attempt to gaslight the entire American people about bidens mental acuity, people remember.
Trump would have easily been beaten if harris came out with a fucking backbone and a hard on for restoring the working class’ economic well being.
She decided to continue gaslighting and doubling down on genocide. And people remember.
And finally harris wasnt the only other candidate available. Stop spouting that nonsense like it somehow matters. Esp given 20 million people didnt even fucking show up and vote.
Now, unless you have something actually useful to say kindly fuck off we both have better things to do.
step 1: stop worrying about what the other candidate is doing.
step 2: make a case why how your candidate is going to improve the lives of your fellow citizens.
step 3: success.
I see you still don’t understand step 1.
preferred to whom. anyways good luck you’re going to need it.
I’m not. I’m telling you that running a campaign on nothing other than ‘not that guy’ is a recipe for a disaster.
Do. not. fall. into. that. trap.
its a trap this entire thread demostrates people are actively falling into.
Her opponent was Donald Trump. That’s it. That’s the reason.
JFC, no, no it isn’t. This is exactly the point I’m making, this is exactly the reason kamala lost. The majority of the population doesn’t give a shit about politics and is uninformed and they dont bother understanding the political landscape.
If you run a campaign on ‘im not them’ and ‘i wont fix any of the things that are negatively impacting your life’ you will lose. Never mind demonstrating that you’re willing to fucking murder an entire people.
Why? because people are going to say ‘well both candidate suck, not going to bother with either’
Then you have the other candidate claiming to they’ll fix the price of eggs (even if they wont) and at least they’re addressing issues impacting you.
Facts:
Running around saying ‘i’m not my opponent, and I will do nothing to help you but i’ll do this other thing that costs corporate american nothing and impacts maybe 2 million people’ is a fucking recipe for disaster.
This is why kamala was missing 20 million votes. not because she was black, not because she was female, but because she offered nothing for people to show up to vote for her and the democrats despite massive systemetic problems our country is currently facing. When your major policy announcement is lol weed something the majority of the country already has easy access too people will just yawn and stay home.
If you’re Canadian reading this thread: Do. not. be. this. person. demand your candidates improve your lives. do not think that simply not being the other person will win.
I’m not conflating anything, I’m telling you to stop worrying about the candidate you dont like and demand your preferred candidate make a case on why they are worth putting the effort on showing up for to people who dont give a shit about politics. my examples were of what not to fucking do, and you immediately start doing a few of them. good job.
the US liberals (harris/biden/pelosi/schumer,etc) and those like them (you) think you can brow beat people into compliance by fear of conservatives and that doesnt work. all it does it cause people to tune you out and then ignore the election entirely.
lol yes being an asshole definitely is going to win you votes. lol you idiots never learn jesus.
imagine thinking that politicians should serve their constituents interests in order to ensure people are willing to vote for them is ‘foreign interference’. lolol
laugh she won in my state silly. she lost because she didnt give people a reason to show up for her. recognizing and acknowledging that someone is a shit person and thats why they lost lets you address the problems I mentioned above.
but yes keep burying your head in the sand. the DNC is likely to lose the next election too unless they learn to give their base what they want.
I agree liberals dont make tha same mistake as your american equivalents. Make sure your candidates running actually gives people reasons to vote for your candidate.
Dont think you can just goose step to the party line of no change for the working class. Dont try to deny and support a genocide. Dont think the other candidate sucking is sufficient for you to brow beat people to vote for your candidate.
If there’s a group asking for a change that you might not technically agree with but doesnt harm people do it anyways
lol NP. two party systems blow man.
Because all our representation is an embarrassment. Most of us have stopped bothering its a fucking mess.
Protesting is the least useful form of collective action. Dont worry if you cant participate in it directly. Its not materially useful.
What you need to do is organize locally and hold your local reps to the fire. Ensure your local elections are run fairly, etc etc.
Help run info ops for naturalized citizens who are comfortable taking direct action. Gather information and make it publicly available. Could be as simple as locating all the charging stations in your state for example. Or dossiers on particularly disgusting ceos.
Plenty of things you can do without directly exposing yourself.
you guys act like there is only one way to do this shit. personally I find protests generally useless and I dont go to them to start shit, I find violence useful when employed well and directed. but I would never personally start shit at a protest. protests are for cover while groups work elsewhere.
yes. thats pretty standard fair, the photo’d guy is not following safe protesting. the bat in the photo was probably just a stick of opportunity for his sign.
Lol. Sadly no we don’t do much better at rodent elimination these days. Our sanitation/cleanliness of our living spaces are the primary improvements that prevent things like the bubonic.
