Sounds like more should have been done to prevent trump even getting on the ballot while his opposition was still in power. Oh wait, but then they couldn't run on "trump bad" and would actually have to champion something for the people to get their votes. Oh well!

I'm sorry, do you have a magical alternate reality viewer that shows Kamala not doing the same exact thing except whinging along the way about "working tirelessly" to avoid the thing that is currently happening with zero repercussions for the aggressor state... ? Come on, don't forget the president that kept warning about non-existent red lines as Palestinians were being (and still are!) slaughtered by the thousands, and literally bypassed congress to send munitions to Israel despite this. Y'know, the thing that will now be super bad when Trump does it?

At least we & our government officials don't have to pretend this is fucking normal just because the president is super duper apologetic about it and pinky promises that they care about all the lives involved but conspicuously only mentioning the ones belonging to the aggressor nation!!!1!

The two sides are drawn at a completely different scale and the person on the left is missing an arm. Some funkiness with the line weight. Just has that AI vibe to it.

They were actively redlined neighborhoods, often in sundown towns, and loans were given that excluded black people on the basis of their race (see also: the GI bill that excluded black veterans). Not to mention the black neighborhoods and economic centers within cities that were bulldozed and paved over with highways, especially highway interchanges, in order to facilitate this 'white flight' from the cities.

Still it is utterly obnoxious when someone seems to act all high and mighty that they didn't vote for the lesser of two evils.

I'm still looking for the point that anybody did this? Are Kamala voters not allowed to criticize her platform and point out that there was no good option for the working class? What's obnoxious to me is putting Kamala up on a pedestal next to Al Gore despite the absolutely pitiful losing campaign she ran. Her loss was obvious to anyone honestly paying attention. There was so much more she could have offered to the people if she really wanted to win, but instead her campaign chose to use Trump as a bludgeon against anyone left of center in the American working class.

Are we really more upset at the third party voters that voted their conscience, and resisted the coercive campaign practices, than the million-dollar campaign itself that utterly failed to appeal both to them and to non-voters on its own merits? Are we really eating up this slop right now? Harris was not owed any votes, it was up to her campaign to earn them. This is a time that we need to come together as a people and struggle outside of the electoralist system, but so many of us are too busy pointing fingers at people who are just as powerless as them, for all the reasons this country sucks right now. Really??? Can this energy not be used more productively???

The election is over, let's move on now and stop idolizing these traitors. This is not a person that deserves to be defended like this. She has made it clear that she doesn't give a fuck about us, she cannot be moved an inch even to win an election and her donors come before anyone else in the country. We need a system that works for us, and we need to get it through our domes that the ruling class is not going to put that on a fucking ballot.

Sounds like trucks shouldn't be so big and should prioritize visibility then

What part of "the right coming after them anyways" sounds like things getting better to you??? Get the fuck off your self righteous high horse, being ruled by fear to the point of paralysis is not a fucking virtue.

Capitalism is not only "the concept of goods traded for legal tender", it is an ideology that wealth accumulation is the one true moral good to strive for above all else, no matter who or what you have to exploit for it. It is a system where power and capital are one and the same.

Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, fascism is imperialism turned inwards. It's a corporate capture of government to remove all obstacles for wealth accumulation, private growth at the expense of the working class using the out-group as a scapegoat. It's not only a really bad guy getting into power, it is the natural progression of capitalism.

Theres hardly ever a time in the past better than this decade in the USA.

This is laughably false. Holy shit you're brainwashed.

If anything you suggested worked, we wouldn't be here. We have had all of that in the past, and it didn't solve the core problem that allowed all of it to then be taken away.

It's a great thought experiment, but it's not a plan and it doesn't help anyone who was already struggling before the last decade.

Oh yeah, Kamala "follow the law" Harris was going to do fuckall for trans people when the right came after them anyways

First, mind the community. Can't help that it ended up in /all. Second, would that point have gotten across to you without the post? So it wasn't really pointless.

Maybe it's the over-the-top defensiveness that is the problem, rather than a post in an anarchist community presenting a point of view that made some people react in that way.
