Really goes to show who exactly the police work for.

Oh there are many of us across the political spectrum that are aware of how our two party system fails us. For the record, I don’t expect things to be different but in light of how bad things are it’s hard not to get my hopes up especially when there’s a good chance at meaningful change.
Many of us are becoming further and further disillusioned with our political system. However, things are changing slowly. Municipalities are introducing ranked choice voting systems and there are efforts to expand that to the state level. Maybe someday we’ll put this mess behind us.
That does it for me. I’m changing my voter registration to independent. This party no longer represents me.
It’s great to see the Democrats have learned absolutely nothing and continue to refuse to evolve.
Four years too fucking late, asshole
I still wouldn’t trust either handle. People are assholes.
Season two lands next year!
My grandpa quit smoking before I was born but all through my childhood I remember my grandparents house having a very distinct smell and I grew fond and nostalgic about it. I later learned what the smell was and I still kinda like it.
Wow, super disappointed to see some of these high profile names.
Watch this be the catalyst for stricter gun control
I think you’re right and that’s ultimately why I voted for Harris but as your original point says either apathy or ignorance amongst many other Americans has grown to the extent that they are willing to risk declining into fascism.
Are we going to change that by telling them to stop being apathetic/ignorant and that fascism is bad? Because that seems to have been the primary strategy the Dems have run over the last decade and the only time it’s worked for them was when the effects of Trump’s incompetence was unavoidably present in the minds of Americans. I’d rather we not depend on another catastrophe to win the next election, assuming we will have one.
The Democrats used to promise real change and progress, but they’ve only proven themselves to be the party of stagnation in recent memory. Nowadays they don’t even try to inspire their base, but rather scare them into submission with the threat of Trumpism.
Sure it’s better than the rapid decline into chaos that the order party is trending towards but this pattern of “a couple careful steps forward then a dozen strides sprinting backwards” isn’t working for Americans. Many of us have lost faith in the system because the system doesn’t work for us. What’s worse is that when we get a candidate who speaks to us, the Democratic establishment shuts them down with more efficacy than they ever seem to direct towards any of the Right’s regressive politics.
While I still fall in line and vote for somebody who I am not excited or inspired by in a seemingly futile effort to hold the line, many others have given up because their struggles aren’t being addressed or even acknowledged. You can yell at them and criticize them until you’re blue in the face but I can guarantee you they’re either so tuned out that they’ll never hear it or so dug into their own political ideals that they won’t receive it.
If you want their vote, you’re going to have to earn it.
Judging by the foliage I’d guess Thailand over the US
The seeds of apathy were sowed a decade ago when they stopped fighting for what their voters actually wanted and instead ran solely on being the better alternative to an authoritarian dick bag for simply being establishment politicians. Those seeds have taken root and sprouted now that voters have seen the Dems’ are incapable of getting over their own hubris.
There is a game called Foxhole that is basically the premise of this meme. The gameplay isn’t glamorous, the controls are clunky, and half the time you die before you can do anything meaningful. And yet, something keeps bringing me back to it.
If I touch an ant I can certainly smell it on my finger but I wouldn’t be able to detect an ant in the room with me
Democrats: “Understood. We must try harder to win over the center-right.”
May Florida Man protect us.
Lol this is great and frankly hard to argue with. I was inspired to do my own impression of Brazil as an American who’s never been to Brazil.
