    his victory was a given before the attempt on his life, you can be sure now hes sitting on that chair.

    organize and prepare for the worst because thats what the us is on track though.

    i wish it was just a matter of how you vote.

      Stop. This attitude needs to stop. Plaster the elderly neighborhoods with this:

      Tell them they’ll lose their social security. Tell the young ones they’ll lose their porn. Do fucking anything besides accept defeat.

        dude, feet on the ground. project 2025 is already happening. wth is your supreme court is doing atm? how many of your elderly actually agree with most of this and really want to see it happen?

        socialism is literally the only way we ever stopped it, and it doesn’t involve playing into the shitty system, nor voting an enabler and war criminal in jist because he is “less fascist”.

        please organize if you want to be effective in stopping it.

          Dude, the election hasn’t happened yet. You think you can muster an entire revolution before November? Then do it. But I doubt thats gonna happen. So you have to vote.

            who is talking about a revolution? yall need theory. organizing here is for actually pressuring the government, and mutual aid.

            you are gonna need both very much so in the next trump term. hell, we already need it very bad now…

              Are we not doing that by laying down anything we can do get as many democrats out to vote? Because my focus is on getting existing democrats up and out, not converting rubes to our side. We dont need converts, we need existing democrats to not fall to doomerism. We need existing democrats to vote.

                writing on a ballot for a compromised third party that promises a fix but never ever delivers (and even does a little genocide for good measure) is barely doing anything.

                voting for the only “choice” out of two aint building anyone a safety net or pressuring the system. by all means go vote, it just isnt doing much to stop fascism.
