The next time the dems take the office, they’d better do shit for the people so fucking radical it makes this entire admin look like soggy frosted flakes.

  1. fascists don't hold free elections

  2. What the fuck are the DNC going to do? Beg for more money and wag their fingers and the repugnicans while saying 'naughty naughty'?

The DNC failed hard on all fronts with the exception of maybe 3 voices that have STILL accomplished nothing in stopping this shitshow of a fascist parade.

Even IF somehow 2028 a legitimate election, I don't see the DNC putting forth any actual progressive candidates ever. They are more interested in their corporate donors than the well-being of the citizens and it is time they become irrelevant

Which leaves you with what options? One, near as I reckon: fuckall.

Guess it’s time to stop being angry, and just be sad.

It is necessary to recognize the tipping point where working with the system is no longer a useful way to save the system. I vehemently disagreed when those fucking tankies refused to campaign and vote for Harris based on that logic, but now that point is passed.

There are plenty of things you can do, but they no longer have to do with electoral campaigning and a lot of those will be steadily made illegal.

Being vocal against the pedo elites is one of those things. Fascism thrives on unearned legitimacy and this is a threat to that. Keep your neighbors angry, keep pointing out that the emperor has no clothes and that he's not-so-secretly fucking children.

I like your optimism that Democrats will ever get a chance to have this power again. Trump is here to stay. Even if he dies this term, you have Vance to carry the torch. And don't worry doesn't matter how unpopular he is the election will be rigged in his favor anyway. They also find that when they break from the constitution there no consequences. So they will just completely ignore the two term rule. After all what anybody going do about it? Nothing.

100% correct here sadly. Most people won't see this truth until after the next "Election" is decided. Fully rigged and even then there will be ICE at every voting place. It'll just get even more Black Mirror 1984 after that.

I completely agree, unfortunately.

The Supreme Court has made it clear they won't do anything to reign in the power of the presidency and Congress won't either.

I never gave a timeline for it happening.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Next time Dems should not take office. At least not the current old guard. We already know what happens else.
