It’s Joever for the Democrats no lie. I know polls are still pretty even and something could happen to give them a shot in the arm but honestly all the videos I’ve been watching and conversations I’ve been having IRL are just pointing to a complete anti-Democrat vibe. Watching a few videos that are saying the same thing and it could just be algorithm bias but idk. I don’t even mean just for 2024 election like long term this party is fucked. I used to think they were going to be bent over and moved out of the way by the Republicans (consequently establishing a further fascist government) because Dems are spineless but they’re actually doing such a terrible job that they’re going to get voted out and allow the Republicans to further fascist-ize the US if that’s even possible.

I’m low-key here for it, going to be interesting but I’m very scared for marginalized people and the proleys in general.

    It’s okay they’ll just blame Black people for not voting instead of coming up with any sort of comprehensive plan that actually matches our interests

      Noo you OWE the Democrats your vote to prevent FASCISM and if you DON’T vote for us you actually are to blame for the further oppression of your people (which will happen under us, too)

      If you don’t vote for this shitty party then the other one will make things even worse and also you have no other choice and also we are the greatest democracy the world has ever seen and also skill issue bootstraps you can’t shoot your way to liberation!!!

        Be prepared for more bamboozlement under the guise of journalism. Understand that Black politics will not be part of any discussion. Making it so would create a problem for people whose goal is to win office while also excluding the people whose votes they need. Media are an important part of sham democracy. No one should expect anything more than, “But Trump!” between now and November 2024. – Margaret Kimberley

    For me, this started in the aftermath of the Trump presidency, and the absolute denial and non-engagement of the Democratic party to self-examine their own actions that led to defeat, such as blocking Sanders to promote an unpopular Clinton, blaming everything on their voters, kicking and screaming, and then of course four years later fucking Sanders again.

    I heard a good podcast with historia publica yesterday, and he said it excellently: when there’s crisis, the youth wants to radicalize, but unfortunately, in our countries you are not allowed to radicalize left, only to radicalize right. (I’m paraphrasing).

    If the US is around long enough, we might see a different party rise to take their place in the two party system, just like the republicans did with the Whigs.

    It’d probably a hardcore libertarian party or something, wouldn’t it?

    As a USian I’m here for it too.

    Yes, it’s going to suck. But it was going to suck hard anyway. At least now the Democrats will be out of the way and unable to siphon anymore revolutionary energy from the masses. It’ll be final boss time from here on out.

    I just can’t endure the suffering of next year when the elections come, Trump probably wins and puts the nail in the coffin while everyone seethes 24/7 on social media…

    The democrats have made it clear that you’re not voting against fascism, you’re just providing a preference to where the fascism is pointing. The whole “oh if you don’t vote democrat minorities are going to die” is BS when they’re literally funding a mass genocide as we speak.

      Yeah but the Republicans will go for American minorities, and their lives are more important you see.

      I’ve had this argument given to me on more than one occasion, not in so many words.

    Yea fr, Apolitical people I know who in the past were vaguely More for Dems (still didn’t vote tho) are now shit-talking Biden. And every point they bring up is pretty valid. I dont think they care enough to vote but still shows a shift in opinion
