You don't do that in America (if you want to win). You take an existing party and push it in your direction. That's how the party of Reagan is embracing tariffs.

… the school shooter wasn’t voted class president by the students.

Exactly. Division got us here. Only unity will get us out.

If you want to not kneecapping the left, you could start by not slurring progressives as "a fucking opp."

...and they are failing miserably

really funny considering they're the ones destroying our "tomorrow"

Someone else posed it this way: The Democrats exist to solicit donors; getting elected sometimes is a side effect. Big money has wrecked their ability to oppose what is happening.

We had millions of tomorrows before governments even existed.

Governments are here to more strictly enforce social contracts. They do this with varying levels of consent, but that is nevertheless what they do.

That saying is really good when it's not being actively destroyed

The dems are one of the only groups in the US who (legally) had the power to:

• reduce voter suppression
• fix the electoral system in general (e.g. remove the broken FPTP system)
• stop sabotaging popular candidates
• not choose a senile dementia-sufferer to remain the country's leader for years
• support the worker class instead of the owning class and get their votes (too many things to list)
• support US citizens instead of imperial interests in countries half the population can't plot on a map

For most of these things, they should have been doing this long, long ago, before even Obama's terms. The Democrat Party clearly had the power of the state for more than enough time to make them look like an alternative rather than a complicit ally of the Republican Party. Why should they not be seen as at fault?

In this analogy, the Republicans are the shooter. Not sure how you can draw the conclusion that anyone is blaming the Dems there.

I'll be the first to call out people for solely blaming the Dems when that's the case. I've been banned from so many Reddit subs for that very thing, which is how I ended up here at Lemmy in the first place. But that's just not the case here. What this image is saying is that the fault of the action (the shooting) lies with the Republicans, and the Democrats (the Uvalde cops) are too cowardly to do anything to stop it. It's a pretty damn accurate description of American politics.

I agree. The Trusk team has got the ball rolling for some of trump's base, but we have to figure out a way to separate the rest from him. I really don't know how at this point. Common sense doesn't work and they never see the people making fun of them because they live in a bubble. It's starting to be too late.

If that were true, it's a dumb election strategy to sit back and wait while your opponent puts an end to free and fair elections.

What world are you living in?

They had 4 years to fight Trump and make sure he was properly tried and sentenced for his crimes and they just didn't because they didn't want to look like they were going after political opponents. They have actually done next to nothing to fight him.

And the "mistake" they don't want to interrupt is Trump deporting people to random countries, setting up a giant concentration camp in gitmo, cutting cancer research funding and making life he'll for trans people. So maybe they SHOULD interrupt this mistake, with more than just signs.

What even can they do?

This, for better or worse, is the will of the people. It's not like nobody knew this was going to happen.
