What do you mean you dont have a democracy? You just aren't allowed to vote on,

-Corporate taxes

-Gun and militia rights

-Getting rid of mass surveillance

-Ownership of your own data

-Workers having time off work

-Grassroot prosecutions of the rich and powerful by citizens

-Anonymity online

-Free speech

-The right to access information

-The foreign policy of the U.S

-How many cops and prisons your country should have

-Locally run elections and rational districting or abolishing the electoral collage

-Not having 500 separate taxes for the honest and poor working man

-Whether you should be allowed to buy medicine outside the medical cartel

-Immigration

-Transparency in the state process

-Reinstituring the constitution above laws and executive orders

-Removing controversial or dirtbags politicians from office

-Banning corporate lobbying, making the electoral process public and transparent.

-Not having tracking devices forced into every device you own and even your car.

-whether you have to get skin cancer by not having window tint so CCTV can pick up your face as you drive by

-Dmca and copyright

-banning HOAs

-Getting rid of state backed paper currencies

-Owning and rooting devices you own.

But don't worry you can vote to take away each others human rights every election depending on how many of you are loyal and show up to vote for your elections. You are free to vote to strip trans people of rights one year, and Christians of rights the next year. You can strip hispanics of rights one year and white people of rights the next year. You can always vote for less corporate taxes! And more taxes for yourself. You can always vote to make your neighborhood safer by having policecorp tm and Black Rock come manage your security! Lots of homeless people out there these days. Policecorp would like to remind you to watch 15 minutes of advertising four times per day to get 15% off your security package from all those pesky homeless people who are too lazy to work 12 hour shifts in the papermill for snack money like you God fearing patriotic Americans.

Oh no, the president is fash, we elected him democratically. Time to give up without doing anything I guess, there is no way to elect anyone democratically.

They have no fuckign clue what to do. Nobody teaches you how to oppose a fascist dictatorship and there are zero leaders doing so. It's an entire damn education and skills training regime that people are too desperately poor to afford to figure out individually.

I'm sorry you are already so defeated about our chances. Why don't you just stand aside and collect yourself rather than try to demoralize the rest of us?

Demonstrably? Care to demonstrate?

You're not helping. You might be worse than the idiots. You have the awareness to see what is happening, and this is how you respond.

There's no benefit in ceding ground preemptively. I don't suspect he'll actually cancel the election so much as make it even less fair that usual to avoid the risk of losing, but either way, convincing everyone that this is what he will do, before he does it, just means that when it happens people won't get as mad about it because it'll be "old news" in their heads anyway.

If midterms happen it will have to have people in the streets prior. We really need the various military/police to step up by standing down.

Trump has done this much in only 9 months, and he still has another 9 to find a way to never have elections again.

Small correction: He still has 14 months before the elections themselves, and another two and a half months before those elected take office, to figure it out. In other words, he's still got ~65% of his pre-Midterms term to destroy democracy.

There will be midterms, there just won't be fair or accurate results.

he already installed a election denier to head the elections infrastructure nationwide. also there s a subset of people that dont register on purpose, because they dont want to be called for Jury duty, which can be potentially financially devestating for people.

There’s really no reason to not have midterms. Even if there is a blue tsunami, and Congress impeaches Trump, that just empowers him further. It would finally precipitate the Constitutional crisis that solidifies his dictatorship. The Executive is the enforcement arm of the government, and it’s already been purged and filled with cultists. They will not remove him, they will not stop following his orders.

Cancelling the midterms would surely cause a Constitutional crisis, earlier, and there’s no reason to be hasty. The longer that event can be put off, the less likely people will resist violently.

We will smugly decry that nothing can be done, and continue sharing memes about death of direct action

Well not sure how much babies and toddlers can do, so that shrinks the amount of people involved at least

Correction: For the obviously false promise of cheaper eggs.

Actually Democrats won, if you discount proven cheating like purging legitimate voters. What was that word again for a government that doesn't have fair elections?

You traded it for tiktok and other shiny things. The last nine months has proven that modern humans as a whole will go out of our way to not do a damn thing about a LOT of bad shit as long as we still have access to our ipads, smartphones and streaming services.

Americans (and yes...Westerners in general) are so addicted to their creature comforts that we'll excuse almost anything in order to avoid the inconvenience of not having them if we stand up and actually revolt.

It's utterly disgusting.
