“At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, billionaire control of our political system, and major threats to the foundations of American democracy, it is clear to me that we need real Supreme Court reform.”
Nothing meaningful will be done to stop the slow-walk into fascism that has become seemingly inevitable.
…What do you mean, “slow?”
At this rate, America has about a year left until it falls to autocracy.
I’m hopeful, but I agree. History, social dynamics, and the lack of an informed populace point to that happening. Maybe a “GreatMan” will rise, and lead us, but benevolent dictators are rare.
Not with that attitude it won’t.

He’s got my vote.
Sheldon Whitehouse must feel vindicated af
The cynism on lemmy is so wild. Get major Denethor vibes from some of you edgelords
What is there to be optimistic about, Gandalf?
I like that this comment is accidentally optimistic.
I’m sure you can find something. Or you can whine more and do absolutely nothing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Or maybe it’s time for realism, when USA is about to become a dictatorship?
It’s like saying to “I’m sure you can find something to be optimistic about” when Hitler seized power in Germany. It’s not really the right place or time.
Nah whats happening on lemmy is more like, “we’re all fucked and there’s nothing we can do about it and fuck you for having any optimism” ad infinitum. I’m advocating for finding someone or something to stand behind and fight.

In this thread, you’re being whiny and judgmental, then claiming that’s advocating for anything.
I’m also assuming you’re jerking off frantically while simultaneously patting yourself on the back, all over what a big, smooth brain you have. Just like a koala.
im tired of having to fight for my right to live
