I really don't think we can say the pendulum isn't being shifted in massive strokes overnight when this administration is literally destroying our way of life in massive strokes every hour. The time for the "lesser evil" was ages ago. The time for direct action is now.
I'm always glad to stumble upon another NJ person on Lemmy! My anarchism flies out of the window when it comes to loving Jersey. It's my home, despite people arguing I'm not from here due to the color of my skin. In my lifetime, sea level rising will reshape what this great state looks like. Homelessness in Atlantic City is bad now, it's going to be a thousand times worse when the area is under water. This is why I don't think we can settle for small changes. We need drastic actions, yesterday.
These living conditions were won with blood, sweat, and tears. They have been stripped away from us through deception, isolation, and manipulation. We can still make our lives better, it is going to require a lot of work and discomfort.
Truthfully, do you think voting for the less evil is a better course of action than directly addressing an issue? If the Rs say "deport all non-whites" and the Ds say "deport non-whites with records", do you really think we should vote for the lesser evil instead of stopping the racist deportations?
The party is conservative, their constituents are being lied to. They just need to realize that electoral politics will not save us. Hopefully they do this before it's too late.
Harris assured Trump voters that nothing would fundamentally change. The Democratic party is sitting on their thumbs while the fascists are taking over. Electoral politics don't save us from fascism.
Stop being obtuse. You know Democrats have chastised leftists for not following "blue no matter who" and here they are showing us it does not work that way.
History doesn't repeat itself, it just rhymes. These are concentration camps. Not the first time the US Government has used them on their own citizens.
I'm aware that's how they work but when the system "works" and the result is starving families then maybe it's time we rethink whether we should keep following this system, no?
I love that we need ironclad proof to decide whether or not it's okay for people to be able to afford sustenance or not. If there's no proof then, oh well! The poors will just have to make do.
