DEATH TO THE RICH
i constantly hear rumors about their exquisite taste and excellent potential for nourishment and satiation of the angry working class, when consumed.
When will the democrats drop gun control from their platform given recent history?
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”
- Karl Marx
democrats are right wing. slightly left than republicans, but still right wing.
When the Dems become a Marxist party.
~50% of an armed populace will fight for an oppressive regime. It’s not an effective way to deter governmental takeover.
This assumes that either the populace that would fight for a freer regime is in the permanent minority or that there exists no part of the populace that would simply not fight for either regime.
I seem to recall that ~40% is the magic number of strong supporters (not necessarily militant supporters) that the regime would need to effectively suppress dissent through violent and non-violent means, but that’s a half-remembered number that I cannot source.
And that number is based on what, exactly? Vibes? Revolution only succeeds when there is broad support.

Maybe vote Democrat next time instead of staying home if you want the democrats to save you
They’re going to nominate Liz Cheney next time lol
You say that as if the Democrats protect the people who vote for them
Maybe pass electoral reform in your state so we can be free to vote for who best represents us without a spoiler effect.
Yes, if we just keep awarding their willful ineptitude with blind loyalty and unquestioning obedience for a couple more decades, they’re SURE to move the bar higher than “mostly not quite as awful as the alternative” of their own volition!
What’s your alternative? Letting the republicans and trump win? Sounds like a great plan guys
a starting point is class consciousness. politics is more than just voting every x number of years. on one side the longer we wait the worse it gets, but on the other many people are already doing what they can. fascism was defeated before a few times, we can do it.
Electoral reform, giving voters the freedom to vote for whichever party they prefer while ensuring their vote will count against the Republicans if their preference didn’t win.
Is this a great enough plan for you?

First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)
Videos on alternative electoral systems we can try out.
Great, why haven’t you done it yet?
You’re not in the neolib safe space so; no, voting dem without ever holding them accountable in over a hundred years on literally anything has caused this situation. Harris would have given you four more years, at most, in the most optimistic circumstances, before this happened. America can’t end any other way than this, and America is approaching it’s end regardless of what you do.
You guys have truly gone insane in America. The rest of us are faceplalming at you guys.
Don’t vote Democrat, i don’t care, you’re getting what you deserve and I hope your whole country burns
Wait, you’re not even American and you’re simping for their genocidal fascists? Buddy, it’s you who we’re facepalming at.
If you’re not in the US, then learn. Don’t have a choice that is only between two fascist parties.
