Trump: convicted rapist, pedophile, misogynistic swine. Also failed businessman, pathological liar, corrupt to all hell. Sellout to Russia and the Nazis.

Harris: didn't condemn Israel.

Fuck off 'both sides'-ers

    You can make the point about trump being a criminally weirdo pervert fake businessman without misrepresenting (and therefore failing to learn from) the 2024 election.

    Harris kicked tent poles out of the Big Tent(tm). This includes immigration (low latino turnout). It seems unserious to say it was just the blind eye to Israel's genocide that lost the election, i haven't seen a piece of evidence that bore out the genocide as Kamala's sole reason for losing the popular vote.

    Its also the case that republicans spend literally billions more on media and it leads to them dominating online spaces with pure spam. Online posting is never a substitute for knocking on doors, a thing the Kamala campaign failed to do sufficiently.

    DNC apologists always being like "well they were trying to recruit more bigots" and then act surprised when the bigots and their overwhelming piles of media cash chase voters out of the Big Tent

    Beginning to question the inherent wisdom of "Normal transition of power" when Biden handed the keys of the kingdom to a guy who openly planned to lock all the doors and shoot the next guy elected to walk through them.

    But hey, I guess it would have been against the rules not to meekly empower a fascist dictatorship.

    I hope you are being cheeky by saying 'beginning to', it was immensely obvious this was the plan going back to, at bare minimum, about a year before the election, when Trump just kept saying he was gonna serve 3 terms, his supporters wouldn't have to vote again, etc.

    I disagree with Biden's handling of the transition, but it's definitely internally consistent with his beliefs. He really, really wanted the global rule of law to work.

    I would not be surprised if part of the intention here was to maintain legitimacy during the initial transfer, so that when the monsters refuse to do the same, it will lend legitimacy to a global response to assist the people in reclaiming their democracy.

    Now, you could also call that 'passing the buck' and... Well, yes. He did seem to do too much of that, imo. Or not enough, depending on how you look at it.

    I wish, but I don't have faith that enough liberal interests will give a shit. They've done little to stand against fascism and have sided with corporate interests every time.

    Every week, more people show up. I’m involved in local politics besides.

    You’re slamming people for being involved. They are doing something being out there.

    Forming connections at low stakes events like protests is exactly what people need to do. That lot talks like anyone who doesn't buy an AK and a red beret first thing is just wasting time.

    The article says the constitution say a president can't change voting rules, but this president has the house, the senate and the judges.

    That was a very weird article...

    To the point I googled the source and apparently it's a 90 year old Maxist-Leninist newspaper. Which kind of explains the writing style and lack of sources.

    They do have "left" lean, but it always feels off because those people also are super into authoritarianism. So it's less about presenting enough for someone to understand and form an opinion, and more like telling their readers an opinion along with a few facts that were found after the fact to be used to defend it.

    To be clear; Trump's 1500% going to try and steal the election, but everyone already knows that. There is zero new information on the article and I'm pretty sure everyone that didn't vote for trump has came to the same conclusion...

    Marxist/Leninists writing just always gives me something like the uncanny valley feeling. I don't care how it's dressed up, or if the person speaking/writing agrees with my existing opinion, I can't fucking stand them. I guess it's "the ick"

    Better sources have been covering all of this for months already.

    JuSt VoTe NeXt TiMe!!!

    And every time I tell people we won't get a vote they laugh at me. Holy fuck, people just don't get how severe and horrible this administration is. We can't remove them for abuse of law, we can barely counter their worst abuses just to have them win in the end, and we're about to have them as dictators for life with no voting.

    I honestly think the only solution is to leave this damned country. But guess what, unless you have a decent amount of money, that's out, too.

    We're fucked

    trump is getting more and more desperate as the days go on, when epstein files arnt released, and mounting pressure and more evidence showing up about his pedophelia, the tariffs arnt really distracting as it use to be, Also its not like elections were free or fair to begin with, significant tampering has been done by the gop on local,state and presidential for a while.

    What is in this article that we didn't already know? Is there any new legislation in process of being passed? This just sounds like the same playbook we used for the 2024 election to me.
