I'm a 1 with random bouts of 5

Yeah, I had the right dance with the wrong guy, good call.
Shit I might have been confusing the two. I'll have to find the other video now.
That makes sense. It didn't come with the other part, but there's a bunch at a thrift store nearby, which must have been where I've seen it before.
He's doing the molly professor dance, isn't he
I understand that the dems are dogshit and couldn't get a rally behind them. But the fascists needed to be wiped out completely. We could have rallied against the rebublicans, and had more time to change the parties in power, but now we won't be likely to get the chance to oust them ever again. We have been shown with every election for the last half a century that anytime conservatives get power, they make it harder to take away, and make the world a worse place.
I don't blame the voters, but I'm unhappy with all the people who thought this was the time to try to make a point to the dems by convincing others they shouldn't vote against fascism. They didn't try it when it was romney. They didn't try it when it was bush and Carey, they decided the correct time to sow infighting was an actual real fascist with a team of sycophants who want to make him a king.
And most who decided they didn't want to support the dems probably didn't go to the polls at all, since it's far too common for dipshit Americans to thinknonly the presidential campaign matters, so now not only is the president a king, but the down ballot positions support him as well.
The christofascists were always going to vote en mass for one side, as they always have. We were supposed to try and stop them. Now antifa is a terrorist group. People are being arrested for wearing free palastine shirts. Being queer is considered a mental illness. Wearing a mask at a protest is a crime. The mass surveillance that never should have started in the first place is not only strengthened, it's data is for sale.
Everything just got a lot worse, and changing it just got a lot harder.
That's exactly what I'm saying. There are so many other issues to consider, but they were disregarded because of one issue that has not changed.
It's still happening, and now we're also building concentration camps.
Direct action does not mean "don't also vote to make it harder for the fascists." Only two options were valid for the majority of election positions. We could have bought more time to fill local positions with third parties and progressives, but instead we're building concentration camps and cutting any progress we've made in the last 20 years.
Let's say everyone who isn't Maga voted third party. What does the electoral college do?
If only two candidates had the possibility of winning, and neither of them were going to change that particular issue, then it held no bearing on the election. Pretending that it could be changed and sowing apathy in voters gave full power to the fascists.
So, is the world a better place now? Or is everyone worse off than we could have been while the genocide is still happening regardless?
-
We haven't been a democracy since we allowed companies to buy politicians. We've had two sides to choose from, kind of, which are: 'hardly does anything' and 'actively makes everything worse for everyone immediately'.
-
Genocide wasn't on the ballot. Anyone who thought trump would stop it was wrong, as anyone who thought about it for a second had been telling them.
So now that those are out of the way, how does that idealistic high horse help every person whose life is now actively worse now?
Like I know legality has no meaning anymore, but isn't that like, really a lot more illegal in a way that there are standards that can't be ignored? Retaliation against a whistleblower?
