  • I voted for her out of attempted harm reduction, and I agree, she probably is.

    Wealthy neoliberals care as much about their fellow citizens as wealthy fascists, as they both have the same God they worship 💰

    One appeals to pretending to care about people's well-being while taking bribes to hurt them, the other appeals to pretending to care about idiot bigot's blood lust while taking bribes to hurt them.

  • The Americans that voted for him see all the people being hurt as the positive.

    Schaudenfreude is a hell of a drug.

  • Sounds like you know what we need to do, but you haven't seen quite enough to be there yet.

  • Protesting in the US has been completely neutered in the wake of the civil rights movement.

    We can technically "protest," just like we can technically say our opinions, but only with a permit in designated protest zones at designated protest times out of the eyelines and profit operations of those being protested, making American protest completely non-disruptive, which is a non-sequitur.

    A protest must be disruptive, or it is closer to masturbation than protest.

    After the fall of slavery and Jim Crow, our capitalists learned something: it's easier to give the slaves the illusion of freedom with social wedge choices and irrelevant protest than it is to put chains on our ankles or instituting direct dictates outlining our servitude to our capitalists.

    If they just make us poorly educated by starving public education and therefore largely incapable of critical thinking, they can work us to death for almost nothing, then let us die in the streets after we're too broken to be of use to their profit, all the while telling us to look at our fellow slaves that look different or act different through their for profit media and tell us it's each other's faults and to hate one another. "Are immigrants/homeless/minorities/leftists stealing your prosperity? More after these commercial messages, you stupid fucking peasants! Remember, don't look up!"

    Divide and profit. Way easier than mowing down dissenters with tanks, just turn their fellow slaves against them if they speak up. "Herp derp why do you hate freedom?!"

  • Not if they don't care and neither party offers a candidate willing to curtail corporate profits.

    I don't see a neoliberal or a fascist doing that. If there is another election that isn't an "election."

  • I voted for Harris, and Biden, and Clinton with my nose held, after phone banking for Sanders in two primaries.

    If they don't abandon neoliberalism next cycle whole cloth then The Fascists can rule the ashes, I'm done.

    This nation CAN ONLY DECLINE so long as there is no major party defending the needs of the people from the murderous capitalists.

    Not that there's going to be another free election anyway. That's the Neoliberals fault as much as the Fascists for institutionalizing their respective bribe gravy trains and making them their only priorities.

    We can have metastasizing capital markets, oligarchy, and murder for profit, or a democratic republic. Not both. And only the former until the planet physically puts us in our place and ends civilization for our hubris, which we deserve.

  • Id say their lead is over.

    Im enjoying all the capitalist oligarchs losing their minds over Deepseek destroying the piles of money they were already counting in their heads. It's not much, but it's something.

  • Their unhinged need for growth/metastasis to to feed their ego scores is unquenchable and ending the world.

    It's tragic we won't physically stop them via revolution. We are cowards that mistake this quiet slaughter for peace. The planet will have to do it for us, and take us and a lot of innocent surface life with them.

  • The old rules assumed good faith and shared goals.

    There has been no good faith in over 50 years in DC, and capitalism has turned everything into a zero sum individual greed game.

  • I voted for Harris in attempted harm reduction.

    But if those people are the focus of your ire and not the administration or those that voted for him, your giving the actual villains a hell of a pass.

    People will turn out for Democrats when they abandon neoliberalism. If they'd rather support big corpo to the world's end, then we'll never get a vote in the right direction until collapse.

    "Freedom"

  • They'd rather lose to Republicans than cross their "donors."

    The gravy train runs to both parties as long as they protect this sociopathic grift of an economy from the people it enslaves. The DNC would consider winning on a platform of ending oligarchy (which could only ever happen with a left wing populist that steals the party out from under them like Trump did to the GOP, solely to steal their grift machine in his case) a catastrophic defeat and national crisis on the level we wish they'd treat Trump like.

    It's why leaders like Nancy Pelosi make it their mission to sabotage spoiler members (because both parties promote on the basis of being a good bribe getter and taker) like AOC. She spent weeks before Trump was inaugurated making calls to prevent AOC's committee leadership bid. There's the DNC's priorities.

    Our whole captured government is a game of neoliberal/fascist-good cop/bad cop. Do you want to waste your life enriching sociopath would be pharoahs with affirmation ribbons or scapegoats? A con game we can't stop playing as we're exploited dry.

  • We won't survive this.

    But if we did, it would be my greatest wish that everyone understands this was all brought to you by tolerance of Greed and capitalism.

    Greedy people are a blight on humanity and mentally ill in a serial killer, society must be protected from them way.

    But unfortunately, since most here still see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires that don't want to be part of society but live above it, they'll blame everything but. In that respect, maybe my first point is a silver lining.

  • Being productive is an effective way to waste one's life.

    Maximize wasting time. None of your or almost anyone's works will be remembered.

  • After it filled up with pro-trump propaganda and started blocking hashtags based on who Trump hates, I went back to Rednote for now until our "free" nation bans that to maintain the capitalist oligarch narrative on major social media. We can talk about Luigi there.

    I'd rather be propagandized by them than Zuck and Elon and Bezos and Donnie. Their people actually seem to believe they owe one another basic decency and courtesy. It's refreshing.

    "Herp derp genocide!"

    When there's a non distributed, aka popular and populated, social network that isn't the product and propaganda tool of a genocidal nation, I'll defect to that, but I haven't heard anything about a civilized, admirable nation like Norway launching a competitor.

  • I voted for Harris, but there were no good choices, as has been tradition for half a century.

    No one should celebrate voting for a serial killer to stave off a cannibal serial killer.

    The correct choice is to vote for the serial killer like you're attending a funeral, hate yourself for it, and mourn. Can't imagine why so many opted to wash their hands of the situation and pretend it doesn't exist with choices like these amirite?

    The more correct choice would be to take to the streets and burn it all down to give future generations... Any chance whatsoever... but save one guy in prison in New York, we're all too chickenshit for that, so civilization collapse by capitalist made climate change in a couple decades it is.

  • Phone banked for him on two campaigns, saw the sabotage first hand. I know it's a no win scenario for the masses.

    In order for anything to improve, rather than voting for the speed of decline as we have for 50 years, this system must be destroyed by force, as both parties are completely captured and would rather lose elections then lose their respective corpo bribe gravy trains. Until that happens, or until climate change does it for us when it's too late for civilization entirely in a couple decades, nothing can improve.

    I don't consider ribbons and affirmations to be tangible improvements either. I consider universal access to quality education, commons like parks and public transit, medical care, food, and shelter to be improvements. Those are all pipedreams under the Fascists and the Neoliberals. The signature "achievement" 9f Democrats for the last half century they won't stop crowing about was a heritage foundation conceived plan to further enshrine for profit health insurer vulture capitalists into healthcare, and it's worked exactly as intended.

    There's no one to vote for here. That's not allowed. Only against in the culture battles meant to keep us at each other's throats. This place is lost.
