Not all do. That's an oak thing really. Pines, most stone fruits, etc, take a path of least resistance, unlike oaks which are more "I am going that way, and NOTHING will stop me!"
It's easy to keep a simple majority from voting you out, when anyone opposing you gets the wall for being "Not doctrinal"...
Its like saying a pastor of a church can be voted out by a simple majority of the deacons... But the pastor can off any deacon at any time, merely for being a heretic.
I said "not as commonly as the other two"... The US has been engaged in myriad genocides, across the globe and domestically, as has Russia. China just does it less.
I mean hell, China got their Uighurs genocide plan from the US's post 9/11 "counter terrorism".
I mean, were Palestinians being genocided in Israel for... most of Biden's presidency? And didn't Harris say she fully supported Biden's policies?
Indigenous people? They are laughing at us right now, because us white people are freaking out about stuff that's been happening to them since white people showed up here.
Union workers? Come on, it's not illegal for rail workers to strike in the US, thanks to Biden, who Harris, once again, said, she fully supported his policies.
Good for homeless people, as in creating more homeless people every year? Houselessness was spiking under Biden, and still is...
If Kamala Harris had won, literally all the groups you just mentioned would be far better off than under a literal fascist dictatorship which Trump’s lackeys want to establish.
How so, specifically?
Honestly? I’m starting to believe lemmy is, like reddit, filled with a bunch of clueless college kids who haven’t set foot in other parts of the world and have no idea what it’s like to live under a dictatorship, and thus take the rights and freedoms they have completely for granted.
I'm starting to think you believe the rest of the world is ok with how we treat our citizens, and do the same...
How so, specifically, that wasn't happening prior?
worse for women
Same. How so, specifically?
worse for education
Public education, to put in the words of Lupe Fiasco:
"Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts, then wait, here comes the uppercut
The school was garbage in the first place, that's on the up and up"
Brown people in the US have always gotten the shit end of the stick, with public education.
worse for immigrants
What if I told you that Biden was deporting people at a faster rate than Trump is?
worse for people in countries being directly and indirectly threatened by your fascist president
Like, which countries? Palestine was being genocided before Trump was elected. And we've been raping under developed nations for a long time. Frankly, a lot of those nations are getting a break now, with Trump's focus on turning the imperialism inwards.
It seems like it's mostly getting worse for white, cishet people. Queer people were already under attack, and being lynched. We've been hammering on immigrants for like... 30 or so years now. etc etc.
My what? Are you a child?
Your beloved liberal republic here, the one that loves to genocide people, loves to be racist, loves to put dollars over humans, and loves to start wars to topple democratic societies abroad.
Every single one of those elections, the Dems chanting "us or fascism!!"
It's kinda like the gun safety debate: we can not discuss it within 72 hrs of a mass shooting.
After 72 hrs, nobody wants to talk about it, or we have another one.
When will the Dems actually oppose fascism, instead of saying they want to?
Additionally, who is that "boring liberal republic" better for? Certainly not Palestinians. Certainly not for union workers on our rail lines. Not for people becoming houseless. Not for queer people. Not for indigenous peeps, either....
So, just for white, straight people, so we need to keep supporting it?
