Democrats will learn nothing from this.
United States | News & Politics
Id go so far as to say they're paid good money to explicitly not learn from this.
Democrats are learning in real time what the real function of a controlled opposition party is in a capitalist dictatorship.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” ― Upton Sinclair, I, Candidate for Governor: And How I Got Licked
They never do.
"We didn't go far enough right to win over MAGAs hearts and minds."
Well I guess the good news is that it no longer matters if they learn anything? These election results make it clear that going forward they'll have about as much effect on lawmaking as a dead hamster. It's even possible that, except for serving as a convenient cardboard bogeyman, they'll otherwise cease to exist at all.
"Are we out of touch? No, it's the voters who are wrong."
Every time i think the US can't get any more ridiculously observationally challenged, I'm taught otherwise...
A billionaire, convicted felon, moron and over all most likely a damn pedo gets elected to be the top-clown of the clown-college.
I'm sorry for every sane murican who has to endure that. And especially for everyone that is not "normal"....
Oh he's definitely a pedo. Creeping on his own daughter. Peeping on young girls in changing rooms. Epstein's best friend.
I agree with your message, but please try to avoid the r-slur. Its an ableist slur and quite triggering for many people, even if you mean it innocently.
Kamala must be so stoked to see so many republicans in the cabinet.
I feel like people are just rolling over and taking it? He shouldn't even be eligible because of the 14th Amendment "no insurrection" thing.
Democrats vocally came out against getting him off the ballot for his crimes alleging 'you can only beat him at the ballot box', but it turns out they can't.
Well, crap.
On the plus side maybe we will start hearing about the horrors at the US Border that magically stopped in november 2020.
Would you look at that? The immigrant caravan just vanished, as if by magic!
Isn't USA culture very big about "never give up"?
Eh, at this point a majority of the voting block voted for fascism. I'm about ready to just call it, go home and not participate anymore.
I understand your feelings but would urge you tor reconsider. All it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.
Only if you're white. If not, do as your told or you may be assaulted, imprisoned, or shot dead. Sometimes you'll do what your told and those things will still happen.
US culture is primarily talking a lot but not actually doing anything.
Fuck
The leopard ate my face are going to hit so hard all those non white and rich trump fan in the next years
Ew, gross.
No. Fuck no. Absolutely not.
Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle.
-Vladimir Lenin
There is hope! It isn't easy, it isn't fun, but if we can know our circumstances, we can know our way out of them, and if we know our way out, we can get out.

Get organized. Join a Leftist org, find solidarity with fellow comrades, and protect each other. The Dems will not save you, it is up to the Workers to protect themselves. The Party for Socialism and Liberation and Freedom Road Socialist Organization both organize year round, every year, because the battle for progress is a constant struggle, not a single election. See if there is a chapter near you, or start one! Or, see if there's an org you like more near you and join it, the point is that organizing is the best thing any leftist can do.

Read theory. A good primer is Blackshirts and Reds. It will help contextualize what fascism is, what causes it, and how to stop it. I can offer a good introductory reading list regarding Marxism if you'd like, but this is a good starting point.
-
Aggressively combat white supremacy, misogyny, queerphobia, and other attacks on marginalized communities. Cede no ground.

Be more industrious, and self-sufficient. Take up gardening, home repair, tinkering. It is through practice that you elevate your problem-solving capabilities. Not only will you improve your skill at one subject, but your general problem-solving muscles get strengthened as well. Theory guides practice, which sharpens theory to be reapplied to better practice.
-
Learn self-defense. Get armed, if practical. Be ready to protect yourself and others. The Democrats will not save us, we must save each other.
-
Be persistent. If you feel like a single water driplet against a mountain, think of the Grand Canyon. Oh, how our efforts pile up! With consistency, every rock, boulder, even mountain, can be drilled through with nothing but steady and persistent water droplets.
Tyranny by majority...
