      What do you suggest? How are we to “stop this fucker,” right now? 2024 was the time to do that, and we decided to let the most unpopular person we could find run a status quo campaign as a continuation of an unpopular administration.

        I’ve been able to get involved and in touch with people who help run 50501 locally, it’s hard work for little payoff. In order to plan for a general strike and protest would take weeks in advance, we’re just now getting organized and mobilized (especially in a southern city where the economy hasn’t been impacted too bad). People really underestimate the work and time it takes to get anything done

          Thanks for your effort. Organization is the ONLY thing we can do that will help right now, other than creating new types of social media, long story though don’t want to get into it right now. Fediverse could work, but new types, with better rules fairly enforced and immune to government and business hooks.

        The time was after vietnam. Not a single war criminal should have gotten away from war of agressions.

        I believe you mean the DNC decided, because I never wanted Harris or Biden before her. I voted for them, but only because there was no better option after the sham primaries we were handed.

          Don’t blame me either, I voted for kodos too.

          Those same ivy league aristocrats are still in control of the party. And the sheep still trust them, and they’ve armies of chatbots and trolls to drown out criticism on mainline social media. With plenty of real people sincerely thinking it’s my fault for not believing hard enough.

        Put more pressure on Congress. They really aren’t getting enough lately, honestly. They could assert their war powers at any moment.

        biden was the best president of my lifetime. realize any followup is going to result in me demanding you rank carter through trump. so you can’t use unpopular compared to imaginary presidents.

        Fuck Americans.

        While true, there are more victims in that statement than people who made this happen.
