1/3 of people don’t vote. They are disenfranchised or politically apathetic. 2/3 of people are propagandized or coerced into voting for parties that don’t serve anything besides capital, greed, and their own lust for power.
We need a new system. The concept of “political parties” is harmful to human progress. We don’t need people on imaginary teams playing tug of war with each other while the world burns.
What we do need is strong and principled leadership, that is not poisoned by capital or team politics, that is motivated towards improving the planet and actually working to solving critical issues instead of worrying incessantly about “cost” at every single step.
There’s no need to play the blame game, but if we want a future that is not undesirable, it necessitates positive action and a willingness to identify what is blocking or stagnating us as a species.
So, no real solution, just more and even vaguer ideology versus an authoritarian regime. I’ll be sure to materialize this positive action out of my ass to help out.
When the shelves are empty because everything comes from China or relies on imports from China, when there is a food crisis and people are sent to the fields because Trump deported a significant chunk of our agricultural labor force (40% of US agricultural workers are undocumented immigrants), when people become unable to afford groceries and other essentials, and so forth - that is the moment that change will happen.
Trump et. al have already done so many things that are blatantly against the law. Contempt of court and not respecting his oath to uphold the constitution being the least of them. Where are the Democrats when you need them? Writing strongly-worded letters to Trump?
The obvious solution is to stop playing games, stop waiting for the Democrats to save us, and seize the moment. That includes creating a real American democracy.
Because food crisis are so reliable at taking down authoritarian regimes. The democrats are at the same place people are, working within the system and the designated ways to protest and expecting change to suddenly come out miraculously out of their virtuosity. The US hope is basically that the authoritarian in power is too incompetent to keep it when they’ve been preparing for this for several years now. It’s not a bad plan if it were only Trump, unfortunately it’s far bigger than him now.
If we are going to be vaguely idealistic, the obvious solution is for all things bad to stop so that all things that are good grow into things that are more good.
I wish the Democrats and the people who trust them to save them the best.
I’ve just been told too many lies and seen the American people been gaslit too much.
There have been too many atrocities that Democrats have directly enabled, there are crises in every area of the human experience, and what they are overall proposing to address those issues and the consequences of their past inaction and misbehavior is inadequate.
When Democrats start taking substantive legal action en-masse against this administration, like they do against third parties, I’ll be more open to the idea that they aren’t complicit or apathetic.
Vague protests about oligarchy aren’t sufficient to deal with oligarchy. We can’t even get them to back universal healthcare, how can they fight oligarchy?
