      meh. the “let’s come to a common understanding” ship sailed long ago

      fuck trump, fuck everyone who voted for him, fuck everyone who voted 3rd party, and fuck everyone who didn’t vote.

      some people will suffer more than others because of this, but you know who won’t suffer shit? billionaires, and that was the plan all along

      Not division, just facts. Millions sat on their hands rather than do the bare minimum to forestall whatever the Hell the right wing is going to unleash on us all. There are plenty of reasons why Trump won and lazy shits who wouldn’t vote in light of Project 2025 are absolutely part of the problem. I’d tell you all to go fuck yourselves, but you already did…

        Right, and that is awful, but it’s ignorant and self-defeating of us to make enemies and play the blame game instead of seeking conversations and understanding.

        If you tell people this is their fault and make them into the enemy, they will gladly act as the enemy. And they’ll blame everyone but themselves, a fact Trump has been far too happy to exploit.

        Mandatory voting. In Australia you have to pay a fee if you don’t want to vote. They seem to like it because it keeps the extremes out.

          Right. The problem is that the people who benefit from the way things are happen to be the same ones who can pass the laws necessary to change voting to be mandatory. It’s not happening anytime soon.

            Not to mention the fact a majority of this country (the US) is absolutely braindead politically and it will only get worse as the department of education is dismantled from the inside out.

            Regardless, it’s a good idea. How many things worth doing should be thrown out because they’re hard to do?
