slightly worse than the blue labour that are like "we're gonna genocide trans people but in a humane way not like those mean conservatives! :)"

If you are talking about twitter libs, sure.

If you are shitting on the "vote blue no matter who" Democrats who go out and protest the current Admin, then we have problems.

Gotta have people to start a movement. Gotta have a movement to make real change.

Some people are too impatient for evolution and bail out in like g2.

There has been no protests of the current administration, there were parades followed by brunch. IF there were protests they would be protesting the systems that gave us Trump instead of a single cog in the machine. They dont want to change the system, they want to be the ones calling the shots, the ones protecting the status quo

You gotta start somewhere.

I am sure you are very aware of how selfish Americans are.

Liberalism is the first step for normies to start engaging with politics in the right direction.

As people learn more about the nuances of politics they CAN become leftists, which has a pretty wide range of ideas on HOW to change America.

You can shit on the people who are not as far left as you are, causing division and making the right wing's job that much easier, or you can have conversations with those people and show them the evils of the current system and why we should strive to improve it further.

Most people get invested in politics because they know that change is needed, either though something happening to them or someone close to them.

I think the majority of people truly invested in maintaining the current system are grifters, the elite, and politicians holding power.

Where you from, soupbrick? By the pattern of your comments, looks like China. I dont know if you realize this but you were raised on different bedtime stories than we were, so you see Americans a lot different than the rest of the world, just as we see chinese people differently than they see themselves. The truth of the matter is somewhere in the middle of how we see ourselves and how you see us. If you can buy that, a conversation can be started from there.

Oh? What is the pattern you are seeing that led you to that conclusion?

This NoKings bullshit isnt starting somewhere, its neutralizing momentum, keeping it in a state of arrested development by giving the illusion that they exercised their right to protest

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Maybe you guys can educate yourselves a little more and stop your own division. The world is tired of your bullshit, they are not trying to keep you devided, they are telling you this is enough.

Comprehensive reform of the American education system would be awesome!

Sadly, it will take time both to do and take affect, regardless of how or even if it happens.

I 100% agree with you. European protesters shut down their countries when they are upset. In the US, like you said, they have brunch after their little march.
