Every day I look back at one day I had in 2016 when I felt like killing myself and wonder why I didn't just fucking do it.

I'm sure in ten years, I'll look back on this and... wish I had done it now.

I wish I had been aborted. This place is a shithole and has since before I arrived.

Yeah, I'm giving up after this.

The Democratic party just can't deal with the stupidity and racism that is the American population.

I mean for fucks sake, Black and Latino voters increased their votes for Trump this time around.

Just time to hang up the hat and let America burn.

Also:

Biden got 81,282,916 votes

Harris got 66,153,556 votes

Americans didn't even bother to show up and now we have a Republicans in control of all three branches again. Yeah, there's no saving this democracy.

Don't forget they are going to intentionally force us back to coal and oil, and stifle all transitions to cleaner energy. So really how bad could it be

Oh yeah, the world is pretty fucked here. We're at a tipping point for climate disaster.

In addition to what you said, I wonder how Biden and then Harris deciddd to become the nominee. What the methodology was. The dems could have hired a psychologist who could have guided them on the kind of candidate that would have won the American people over. They could have hired a pr team to help manage their campaign. The dems essentially took a bigger risk than it did in 2016 and it backfired on them again… except this time less people voted.

Why don't you guys start a revolution against first-past-the-post? Fascism has far less power that way.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 33 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunately only the calm and sane people are upset, and it's harder to whip us into a full revolution.

[–] pinkystew@reddthat.com 10 points 5 hours ago

The elites have been studying for decades. They now know exactly how far they can push us before we fight back. That's why inequality is worse now than before the French revolution, but nothing has changed. They've learned how to prevent us from revolting.

We had ranked-choice-voting at the State level on the ballot here in Oregon and voters rejected it by about 60%.

[–] bluemellophone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Came here to say this as well, and OR is a reliably liberal state.

[–] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 12 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Same in my state. I voted against the amendment that banned it but I actually didn’t fully realize it was about ranked choice voting until I checked results. I hate that shit. It makes me so angry.

Surely all of the revolutionaries online dissuading people from voting Harris will kick into gear and get everyone motivated to change the constitution, fix the electoral system, eliminate capitalism, and obtain gay space communism for all.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Most of us have been, and will continue to be, engaging in direct action in our day-to-day lives.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (5 children)

Yeah keep it up because it's obviously going great 👍
