Despite the current wealth inequality a good number of people are still living decently enough.

I’m waiting to see what happens when Trump starts putting his taxes in place. When people are miserable enough they’ll take to the streets and protest. If we reach a breaking point where living conditions completely break down and there still aren’t protests then it may as well be over for democracy.

All my siblings are way older than me(only lived with one for 4 years), and every one of them besides my sister has greeted me as little shit at some point.

I mean good but is no one worried about the kid not having any issues with taking someone’s life? Maybe I’m missing out on some extra pieces of info, but it is a bit concerning even if it is an intruder.

We tried. They ignore the vast majority of feedback given to them.

The Mastodon user experience really needed to be simplified greatly to attract Twitter users, because what’s a platform without other users on it to connect to? At this point I feel as if they may have blown their chance.

In how many universes has Lex been president? I remember as a kid there was one where he won the presidency and had the flash executed. Superman responds by going full authoritarian and executing him in return.

The more people you hire the more people have access to the votes for possible physical tampering.

At the end of the day there is no solution that will make all of our elections fraud-proof. Just audit every election from now on. Yes, it’s a bit embarrassing that it’s necessary, but sadly this is the world we live in now.

We need our grassroots organizations to collaborate more and we need people to move towards those organizations. That’s how I see it anyways. It’s not going to be easy, a lot of these organizations are slow moving due to their financial burdens and lack of general support, but there’s more urgency now than ever.

Essentially just be a renaissance man. It’s much easier to do when you’re younger. I could’ve ticked off over half the list 10 years ago, but now it’s just reading, cooking and writing. I don’t have the time or energy for much outside of work these days.

We need to regroup. Anyone who cares for the above needs to join the same movement. Put your personal feelings aside and stand together, it’s the only chance we’ve got to stop everything from unraveling.

Focusing on these people was an unhealthy obsession

It still is. What’s done is absolutely done and every time I look at stuff like this on this platform it makes me feel like people are witch hunting. Right now progressives and the general left need solidarity more than ever now.

The people who withed their vote hurt us all but we can’t exactly afford to alienate them.

I know the post election wounds are still fresh but hopefully the finger pointing stops soon. Besides non-voters I’ve seen people blaming minorities, I’ve seen people blaming women and I’m sure there’s many other demographics people have blamed.

Didn’t really think there was that many of them on here. I feel like every time I see memes like this on here it’s just people preaching to the choir.

Remember if you’re going to any protests. Don’t bring your phone and wear a mask. Use a map if you’re not familiar with the area, write any important numbers you might need to call from a cell on your arm. Let friends know where you’re going and don’t go alone if you can.

Leadership is too scared to do so. They’ve basically said that they think we only get one chance at it. We also don’t have a lot of people who want to or can step up for candidacy.

Even if you do organize, you need to do something with the people you’ve gathered together.

I’ve been a part of this small local socialist group for a couple of years now and sometimes I feel like we’ve tried nothing too. We’re the same as everyone else. We have ideas but we don’t really seem to act on them all that much.

Absolutely. It’s a two way street here.

People need to stop turning on each other though. What’s done is done. The left has always been divided but right now we really need to start pulling ourselves together.

Seeing Walz as her VP pick was such a win and then everything started slipping away. If you listened to her speeches you’d start to notice she was slowly leaning more conservative, slowly backpedaling on a lot of Biden admin policies even. And for some reason she was absolutely obsessed with going on right wing media outlets.

I genuinely think she’s rather well spoken but what a waste of potential.

Oh yeah I don’t disagree about that. I’m the black sheep of my family in that regard. Even my Gen X siblings are Trumpers sadly.

I was just more so pointing out that I wasn’t entirely sure if the younger two generations were actually serious. I know how social media is. Someone posting about something is not the same as someone taking action so I get anxious about whether or not people will actually make good on their statements.

We’ll see how it goes.

One of my initial fears regarding the initial hype phase of Kamala taking the candidacy was that the media hype would wear off and that we’d have a lot of no shows at the polls who only posted about it on their socials because it was trending. I don’t really trust my generation or the zoomers to get out there and vote, but I hope I’m proven wrong.

Unless you live in the deep south where half the women support him despite how it’s essentially self-hatred.

My parents constantly complain about how I don’t date people native to our state/general location. I think the last time I actually dated people who had roots here was 8 years ago in university prior to politics being ruined by Trump.

Easy. Anywhere the white cells touch will form a curve if you’re not looking at them directly.
