Some liberals are teeing up to blame the media, and blame everyone except themselves for the trump victory their failed strategy inflicted on us.

This is America. America is uneducated, racist, xenophobic, and authoritarian. The indigenous people know this well. The Haitians in Springfield know this well. The Chileans know this well. Black Americans know.

The liberals can't even hide behind the justification that "trump lost the popular vote".

This country just committed collective suicide. We are done for. Trump will trash our economy and turn this country into a fascist wasteland.

Y'know what?

Jill Stein didn't lose Kamala the election.

Even with her votes included with Kamala, she would still have lost the popular vote.

They didn't heal.

The AfD is winning in Germany (not to mention German complicity in the genocide in Gaza)

There are racist Afrikaners in South Africa still who are trying to re implement apartheid

@oliphant the only example I can think of is the long running beef between Ro and tech.lgbt

Also, some people don't like Kolektiva.

Donald Trump is a fascist maniac who is seeking to become a dictator. We have to stop him.

Even if Kamala wins, the Trump-installed Supreme Court is still in power. The Republican Party is still on their march towards turning America into a quasi-theocratic neo-fascist dictatorship.

Many liberals are so obsessed with this election that they don't see the bigger picture.

The future is grim, even if Kamala wins.

The only way to stop the GOP is to play Calvinball, something liberals are essentially incapable of doing. I am increasingly convinced that the Democratic Party is incapable of genuinely stopping fascism. They can't even stop giving money to a fascist government overseas! How will they fight fascism here?!

Playing by the rules is what got us Donald Trump. Playing by the rules is why American institutions are so deeply racist towards black Americans. Playing by the rules is why the billionaires have near total control of our political system.

You cannot win chess against a pigeon. The pigeon just shits on the board, knocks down all the pieces, and does whatever it wants anyways.

The Supreme Court has no popular mandate and essentially rules in spite of the will of the people.

I am mortified of their eagerness to give the Republican Party absolute power to implement their totalitarian agenda of mass deportation and domestic repression of dissidents and marginalized people.

Have you seen the amount of weird insular sects surrounding ostensibly communist politics? There are many, including in places like Maoist China and Stalinist Russia.

@laxla @Alon @Yuvalne

Marxism-Leninism certainly does have a quasi-religious aspect to it. Same with Maoism and some forms of Trotskyism.

The Republicans are so dead set on making people miserable. These people who they never met and didn't do anything to justify that hostility.

Why? Why waste the time?

The Democrats and the Republicans share a commitment to our capitalist and imperialist institutions, and so I criticize them both.

However, the Republicans introduce an element of sadism and cruelty to this toxic mix, abuse for the sake of abusing people.

This is the difference between the Democratic party and the Republican party.

It makes me feel sick.

Banning gender affirming care until someone turns 26 is just blatantly cruel.
