  • did you learn from the mistakes of 2016 or are you gonna make them again? by the way, I voted in 2016, something the majority of people my age didn't do

  • I think a lot of Democrats are just politer Republicans who want to dupe us into thinking they’re actually leftists, and they get super angry when we see the wizard behind the curtain.

    my thoughts exactly, especially when "moderate" democrats win and just continue the worst policies of their republican predecessors. politics doesn't just happen ad teh ballot box and we should de-emphasize electoralism as it becomes increasingly useless at stopping fascism

  • It’s cultlike and weird.

    it is. I think they're just scared and clinging to "vote blue no matter who" as a security blanket while the party acts like controlled opposition. I wonder what they'll think when their strategy loses.

  • pretty much exactly. we need to get a bunch of liberal people to move into those areas and push the rednecks and klansmen out

  • all the tech companies should move to another smaller city in a blue state all at once. turn Salem OR or something into the next big tech hub

  • we're gonna have to save democracy without the democrat's help, which isn't an issue because they were part of the problem to begin with

  • imagine if the republicans ran like democrats. would you switch to voting for a supposedly pro-choice pro-gay moderate republican? no? why are we told to expect the opposite, especially from a more propagandized group of voters?

  • What happened to ‘push him left?’

    it was a lie. that day never came because there's only one reliable mechanism to do it and it's the one we're told decade after decade we aren't allowed to use, vote for someone else

  • if trump wins it will be 100% because the democrats chose to run a shitty candidate that didn't encourage turnout among less engaged voters. and before you yell at me biden fans, those less engaged voters aren't in this thread, or indeed any politics thread. they're the ones who barely ever show up to vote in the first place. two shitty candidates = they don't care enough to register or wait hours in line, and you gotta go out and get their votes to win. it's just politics

  • I expect the president to get with the times, especially during a major world event and human rights catastrophe. the voter base he's going for supports israel less and less and the trend is downwards

  • I saw an ad for the Squatty Potty and decided to put 2 phone books in the bathroom instead. it worked well enough

  • I honestly think we should build normal light rail stations with RGB gamer lights and crap and hype it like it's futuristic tech. it works for musk's tesla taxi tunnel so it should work for actually good public transit too. maybe make the bodywork on the trains look like some dumb sci-fi movie

  • America sucks, and I say this as an american

  • LGBT people never got federal discrimination protection, and I doubt the florida reich has any laws. people did a victory lap when we got gay marriage despite that being just one of many, many struggles
