A Colorado judge has rejected an attempt to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 primary ballot based on the claim that he is constitutionally barred from office because of the January 6 insurrection.
Tell that to MAGA idiots who are gonna vote for Trump again.
Helping people to stop being fascists is a good thing. We are going to need to get on that too. But at this point, there are still so many people who haven’t fully realized what is going on yet.
In short the democracy they keep telling us we live in is a facade to a system where few make the choices that matter and leave the illusion of choice to the many to keep them docile.
I’m aware that the wealthy have a disproportionate influence in our democracy. But we will still have a democracy. If the fascists win any of the next elections our democracy will be an illusion. The oligarchy of tech giants will be in complete control of our lives under the guidance of a christofascist state.
We make them rich and they make us suffer.
They can make it worse if we lose our democracy. While we can only make it better with our democracy.
I think historically we made things better by revolting, not by democracy and I don’t think this time will be different.
I hope you’re right though, I’m still voting in my country but I don’t think I believe in good will of any of the sides. If lesser evil is our only option we’ll still eventually end up in hell.
In order to make this society better we’d need to change so many things it would basically be a whole 180. For one we’d need to fix public education, but in every country I know of it has been only eroding over the decades. Instead all the money goes to the elites and the proletariat gets dumber and dumber, to the point of electing fascists. What’s the point of voting „left” if the „left” still takes a piss on public schools and teachers? If not this election or the next, the nutters are gonna (democratically) win eventually.
In the US, we are going to be one election away from a fascist takeover for a while. We are circling the fascist drain. The point is we can have a better future, but only if we fight for it with the tools at our disposal. With voting, protesting, and spreading good information. Our only chance is to vote in Democrats and independents on the left like Bernie.
If the fascists takeover there are no guarantees. Even if a revolution succeeded there is no guarantee what we would get. Revolutions can just as easily cause a country to go from dictatorship to democracy as they can cause a country to go from dictatorship to dictatorship.
