Something that I realized about the fediverse is that you seem to be able to criticize the USA as a whole, but if you criticize the Democrats you get downvoted. Democrats suck they are not sacred cows (lemmy.ml)

Agree. Within legal means, this is the only way to shift the Overton Window back left. When Democrats are secured from Republicans, then we should be pushing for more progressive options. Democrats would not be expanding the concentration camps like the Republicans are.

You can't "push for more progressive options" when you've already ceded all power.

Democrats would not be expanding the concentration camps like the Republicans are.

History suggests otherwise.

How far back? I'm pissed Obama and Biden didn't close Gitmo, but they didn't expand it either.

Dems expanded the concentration camps on our southern border though....

Fuck legal means, this is yer problem its all pride and democracy this until its dismantled in front of ye. Taking the high road has given ye a petulant retard as a leader. Maybe throw "legal" out the window, they did.

I know what I said. A human knows how to interpret it.

RPing on an open forum will only get you a visit from the FBI.

Im not advocating murder, its fascists who will limit protests and strikes. If you adhere to the rule of law you will quickly see protections removed to keep you penned in.
