      That’s right. People don’t realize that Democrats keep moving to the right because when they are in power they have such thin margins that you depend on votes from the likes of Manchin and Sinema.

        Classic case of open minded, forward thinking from the mods here. Can’t take an open discussion about how to do what we all want if it even calls into question current methods. Where does that fall on some sort of political compass thing? Left-> authoritarian?

        Before my comment got deleted, the response was “I’m not here to tell you how to accomplish anything.”

        …why not? Do we not all want the same thing? If we do, discussing our tactics and a showing a little fuckin solidarity across borders are…kinda important dontcha think? But that does go to prove my original point, that this post isn’t about how to do what we all want, how to solve problems we all see. It’s about patting yourself on the back. We all need to be a little better.

            You really come off as a massive fucking twat to all of us who are trapped in the US and have no where to go. Like we enjoy fascism. And voting to save ourselves is just a stupid waste of time. So we should just rot in place and accept it instead of casting a smelly vote for a democrat. Whats four more years of stability if my life doesn’t match your academic philosophy? Actually fuck you. Enjoy being Not American so you can crudely point and laugh. You’re a myopic piece of shit.

            As if Trump would be good for Mexico either. Jesus Christ.

          The solution has always been violence. The American government doesn’t fear its people. We’ve been taught to clown on the French. The French riot over the smallest shit but hey, guess what, that’s a good thing. We’re all dumb, fat, cowardly pieces of shit. Most people I know don’t have the balls to share their salary or call out their boss’s boss in bullshit, much less take to the streets and make any actual personal sacrifice.

          If the government knows its people actually call them out on their bullshit, it is incentivized to skip over the “revolution” part and just give the people what they want. But without education, the people aren’t a threat - to each other maybe, but not to the government.
