Christ some of you people are so smug.
Listen friend, I didn't insult you. How about instead of attacking people out of nowhere you extend the benefit of the doubt that someone is engaging in good faith? Like I assume you'd like people to do for you.
never follow it up with any inspiration or call to actions
I've shared all the same advice and links you have in this post. I just don't do it every time because I'm not a robot.
It's more "it's time to try something else."
I don't know who else needs to hear this, but electoralism is over in the United States. These people have stopped playing by any rules.
This is in our hands now. Nobody's coming to the rescue.
When they don't cede it we take it. There's hundreds of millions of us and only a handful of them.
You feel this way because you've been intentionally individualized.
There is strength in community, but community threatens the capitalist class so they've done everything they possibly could to drive wedges between us.
You're absolutely right that nobody is coming to save us. That means it's up to us to save each other. It's not too late.
Jump up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right
Regex is a write only language.
Anecdotal, but our chapter of the DSA (not radical enough for me, but it's what I've got around me) is growing rapidly. New member orientation has been standing-room-only since the election.
The Democratic party has just officially morphed into the Republican party of 30 years ago. They trotted out the Cheney's ffs.
Not like it matters. We're not voting our way out of this situation, the fascists won't let anyone take power back now that they have it. It's revolution or a technofeudal hellscape.
Ding. Both major parties have abandoned the working class, and a whole lot of people have given up on the system as a whole. Give a real choice that has a chance and people will turn up. But that means the politics-as-sports folks need to hang up their team colors, and that's only going to happen by spreading class consciousness. No war but class war.
Liberals are pro-capitalism, which is the ultimate mechanism for inequality.
"Neoliberalism" isn't a pejorative, it's a political philosophy that has dominated the Western world for about 50 years, though it has roots much further back. It is a philosophy embraced by both Republicans and Democrats. It's about privatization of services, lowering taxes, and deregulating corporations. It's why we have for profit healthcare in the US, for example.
Just putting a fine point on it.
Thanks, comrade!
Or that everybody owns. The means of information distribution and the means of production should be completely in the hands of the people.
"I'll be glad when they all get deported or end up in camps, serves them right for being anti-genocide single issue voters."
Totally rational statement.
For anyone interested, this is one of a series of sculptures in Poland meant to evoke playground equipment. You can crawl on it, but it's not actually meant as a slide.

Pineapples have enzymes that digest flesh. Make sure to score it a few times first.
Or they just use the gig to grift. Seems like there would be a lot of opportunities to take bribes in a position like that.

I'm sure others can back up the other claims, but you said "ANY."
< looks around at Western countries with militarized police forces, brutal suppression of protest, and high incarceration rates >
"This is fine. Tankies are authoritarian."
Clinton signed into law a whole raft of neoliberal policies that were started by Bush, and the cumulative effects of those policies over those decades are what we're feeling right now and what we warned about back then. The frogs have been boiled while the populace bickers about which neoliberal corporate shill sits on the puppet throne. They're after all our money and they're getting it by distracting us with the political circus and dividing us with wedge issues.
