So disappointing Americans finally woke up to the class war a month too late

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 weeks ago

Nothing has changed. Nothing. If the election was tomorrow, Trump would still win. Don't be fooled by all of us sane Americans that exist here on Lemmy.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Right? When things are boring or good, people get complacent. But the fight for freedom is neverending.

Both parties are on the same aode of the class war. One just pays lip service to climate change and minorities while implementing all the same heinous shit.

Only one party nominated and elected a billionaire though…

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

And the other party candidates have said in consecutive elections that they weren't going to change anything. People know that the country is fundamentally broken and want someone that is going to actually change things.

The other party was merely backed by billionaires and ran a billion dollar campaign.

Totally different.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Totally different

Glad we can all agree.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, no. Both parties are not even remotely the same. They both suck, but one is far, far worse.

You had a choice between the fascist and a kind of crap government and you chose the fascist.

You could have had shit democracy like you always have and instead you went for judge dredd anarchy. Some serious mental gymnastics are required to say that those two things are the same.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That crap government is always going to lead to a fascist at some point. Here we are at that point.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 week ago

Simply not true.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No it doesn't. It just leads to a few years of ineffective nonsense and then eventually somebody else takes over, they don't automatically have to be fascists though, why would that be the case?

The UK had a crap ineffective government for 16 years but they've been replaced now and they're not fascist.

It wasn't about appealing to us, it was about appealing to the common American voter. Democrats failed to do either.

The fuck does that mean? You are seriously trying to excuse neo-nazis in fancy suits.

The United States of America is as much of an enemy of the Human condition as Iraq, you get off on hurting people you get off on making everyone's lives miserable because it makes you feel better. By definition that must be the majority view

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

I don't know if you realize this but most Americans do not live in the lands that american weapons destroy and do not know the first thing about what goes on in those places, other than what their media tells them.
