What lessons from history were overlooked?

BlackSpasmodic ,

You didn't answer my question

  1. Your vote for president likely doesn't matter unless you live in one of a few states
  2. The Dems love that they can just scare you into voting against Trump rather than doing things that would excite you to vote Blue
  3. They love you caring more about Trump than Gaza or Cop City or Haiti
  4. There's WAY more to vote for than President

You've got your head on straight. Screw these attempts to guilt you into voting how someone else wants you to

You assume that voting will make a difference but it won't. Not only because most of us don't live in swing states but also, because voting doesn't change American politics. Biden showed us that. Hell, Obama showed us, America is still gonna be it's ugly self no matter who's in the oval office.

I refuse to keep pretending that a blue guy in charge is meaningfully better. They just talk nicer and give the people here a couple more things.

I want everyone to demand what they actually want, not settle for the guys who seem better than those other douchebags.

Your proposal is terrible lol

Good for you for being informed enough to know about all those things. They're all good things. But they don't move my needle. They're much too small. Probably nothing could compare to a genocide but these don't come anywhere near close.

Straight-up student loan forgiveness could've been huge. We bailout big companies all the time but Biden fumbled student loan forgiveness by going small. National abortion access would be great but there's no way they'll get that passed.

You're right it's not specific to them. I'm talking about Dems because the thread is about liberals feeling obligated to vote Dem to stop Trump.

I might argue that using fear to gain/maintain power is a thing that all powerful people/institutions do. It might be a feature of all hierarchical power structures. Anyway, it's gross every time

While we're at it, let's scrap that system that uses cops to protect capital. Put the people at the top of that system on the bottom of the new one

Individual consumer decisions will not fix climate change

Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don't look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I'd go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got...

Only if a search sends me there and other links aren't giving me what I need

I need someone smarter than me to come up with all the ways this could go wrong. It sounds cool to me but I don't know anything

TMW you realize there's no downside to joining multiple communities for the same topic, even if they have the same name.

I actually like the nostalgia font. I just need that and pureblack in compact aka widescreen.

Not at all. I believe that humans do best when eating meat and that animals can be raised and slaughtered humanely without harming the environment. The problem is that it isn't profitable
