I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil. How can they win back the country? Is it too late?

    THIS is the moment where everyone should be creating 3rd party candidates and going to the streets to spread awareness for the next election.

    Not 6 months before the election with trump as a possibility. Get out there and promote 3rd party now, when people are pissed at Democrats for throwing it all away for Israel and people are pissed the trump won.

      Dnc komissars are brain dead… Another bullshit campaign they botched… 2016 vibes failed again…

      Either way, these regime whores are useless.

      3p is the only way for a chance of any fucking reform.

      Until then beatings will continue…

    Honestly at this point y’all should just get the fuck out. Where to? Anywhere honestly. You’ll probably find the third world preferable to a post project 2025 Murica.

    Russia’s been having a major brain drain issue as all people with functioning brains either have escaped or want to escape the country. I don’t see why Americans should do any different.

        It would.

        But I think that ship has sailed.

        And honestly it might be the third-worlder-accustomed-to-things-being-uttter-bullshit in me. But I think “Winning back the country” is an unrealistic and foolhardy goal. Everyone who is on the radar for being harmed by Trump should look out for themselves and their own. Which includes “getting the fuck out of the country” if that is what it takes.

        Additionally: A significant portion of the country won today. They got exactly what they wanted. And pretending that this neofascism is some kind of external infection is tantamount to covering one’s own ears.

        This has actually all been a very elaborate “come to Brazil” meme on my part.

        Jokes aside, given how a lot of our people tend to worship the floor 'Murica walks on, if a bunch of refugees from the US came over, they’d probably be welcomed with open arms. :P

      This post is about recovery, not abandonment. Letting America fall will have global repercussions. Instructing us to give up is not helpful.

    It’s been “too late” for 'mericans to “win back the country” for a couple of decades at least. I mean, the entire electoral/voting system needs to be redone from the ground up because it’s very non-democratic.

      If Trump won the electoral college but not the popular vote I’d say it is.non-Democratic. But he won the popular vote too. So half the country are just self destructive.

        People don’t vote because they see the system is rigged so the popular vote isn’t a great standard to go by either, it’s a product of the system as well

        If you had 100% turnout the popular vote would be very different.

        Yes. The Dems lost this election more than the Reps won it.

        And no, it’s not just Harris. It’s the fact they haven’t accomplished anything substantially changing the lives of people for dozens of years, and they fought more against people like Sanders than people like Cheney.

        Yes. It’s not half of America, it’s half of the voters. Things would change drastically if only the nonvoter voted.

    Maybe Biden could pack the Supreme Court before leaving office.

    It wouldn’t be a great idea in the long run, but it’d potentially stop the entire system from functioning right now.

    They’re the political opposition now. They should do what good opposition work includes. Hold the government accountable, force them to deliver results. Make the people pay attention and realize if their bills become less or more expensive. And I’d say re-consider life-choices. And make some fundamental changes. Maybe start a new political party if the Democrats are beyond hope.

    Education, unfortunately those in the most need of it are out of an educational institution so they will only be fed on a diet of commercialism and disinformation.

    you organize to pressure the burgeoise, as always, because they are the ones funding every winning political candidate.

    except for americans fascism seem to be tolerable but god forbid you learn from marxism and socialism.

    By finally doing what it clearly needs to do, splitting in multiple countries so red States can finally become third world countries like they so want to be.

      It’s funny that the last time this was floated by Republicans, they thought they were kicking the Democrat states out.

      In other words, they thought they were keeping the Federal government.

      Republican states need Democrat states far more than vice versa.

      If Trump truly does win, Republicans won’t split the country. They’ll make it even more impossible to leave.

        I mean, no matter who gets kicked out by who, there would be at least two federal governments… I think most people don’t realize that when a country splits, the (at least two) new entities both become independent countries with their own government…

    As an American, I expected most Americans to be at least semi-rational and to recognize what a threat to democracy and our way of life that Trump is. I expected most Republicans to just vote for him out of reflex, but otherwise the rest of America would rise up in our hour of need to vote against this and save us all from this idiocy.

    Nope. There was just more people lined up to vote for more idiocy. We failed the world. I’d say I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’ll help. This is America.

      Yup, progressive politics in the US has been an exception not the rule. After about ~30 years we are just going back to business as usual. People forget segregation and women not being able to have their own bank accounts and abortion being illegal (the first time), is not something from ancient history. And before that the country literally went to war over itself over the idea that they should be able to own other huma s as property

    They just did. They’ll happily lie in the bed they shat in at first. By the time they realize their mistake, it will be too late.
