    Pay no attention to the fascist behind the curtain.

      The fascist in front of the curtain is loud enough already.

      Let’s not forget how we got here though cause if we do forget & survive this round, won’t be long before it comes back. I’m specifically referring to the pro-genocide candidate that we were all lied to about their cognition until we all saw the emperor had no clothes. Then they anointed the Cheney supporter that couldn’t think of anything she’d do differently.

          Lol. Capitalism isn’t going away anytime soon. Democrats absolutely could have won if they actually stood for anything other than themselves.

            Sure, but a big part of why they don’t do better is they want to continue the capitalist hellscape where a few people benefit from “owning” most everything.

              Because that is the system people are subscribed to. You want big change & to take on capitalism you need a V for Vendetta. The system is built on capitalism. The best chance we’d prob have right now to take on capitalism is someone with a popular agenda that is good at acting, but once elected as President they basically say… Ha, now I’m immune & will use my platform to try to get rid of capitalism. They’d probably get assassinated real quick though. Or a complete collapse of the system.

                It’s called building dual power, and many of us are actually doing things every day to further that goal.

                The best chance we’d prob have right now to take on capitalism is someone with a popular agenda that is good at acting, but once elected as President they basically say… Ha, now I’m immune & will use my platform to try to get rid of capitalism […] Or [cause] a complete collapse of the system.

                Is this sarcastic? Because that’s literally what we’re witnessing. We may have a chance at building a better world with better systems very soon.

                  Not if the same establishment Democrats get reelected then claim their hands are tied whenever Republicans try their usual antics.

                Maybe. We can still try to work on multiple things at the same time.

                Demand more from the Democrats.

                Fight the right wing.

                Push for better systems.

                No one’s going to wave a magic wand and fix everything. though it would be funny to me if more billionaires were murdered , that’s not really likely or safe.

        fair, but Harris would have won without election rigging. Voter suppression and forced provisional ballots that were never counted.
