“In the end, the election was about despair. Despair over futures that evaporated with deindustrialization. Despair over the loss of 30 million jobs in mass layoffs. Despair over austerity programs and the funneling of wealth upwards into the hands of rapacious oligarchs. Despair over a liberal class that refuses to acknowledge the suffering it orchestrated under neoliberalism or embrace New Deal type programs that will ameliorate this suffering. Despair over the futile, endless wars, as well as the genocide in Gaza, where generals and politicians are never held accountable. Despair over a democratic system that has been seized by corporate and oligarchic power.”
As it turns out, trying to get more votes by taking the middle ground between fascists and antifascists results in alienating the antifascists and the fascists still not voting for you because they prefer the other guy. Proof of the middle ground fallacy is in the pudding.
Been saying variations on this for the last 12 years. The Democrats are committed to pleasing nobody and it shows.
if I had a nickel for every time I voted for the potential first female president over trump and trump won I’d had two nickels and it’s really fucking fucked up that it happened twice
I’ve gotten nothing done in regard to setting up posts for you to read this morning. I went to bed early after studiously avoiding election news. We finally get a sunny day today, so I can charge my solar lantern, and I’m happy for that. We do need the rain we’ve gotten, and the rain we will get, but I really like that lantern, so I’m happy I can charge it and it can be in the front yard in the evening.
As I keep saying all these bathroom bills and trans people in the bathroom trash talk is the cis people who don’t look feminine or masculine enough for other people. I have read and watched videos of women who look mannish who get assaulted or harassed for going into the woman’s bathroom. One woman was a cancer survivor who lost all her hair due to treatment and two men were calling her horrific names and threatening to beat her up on video because they were sure she was a man. It all goes on looks for these people. Unless people are going to line up for a genital inspection by these gang thugs before entering the bathroom, how else do these maga think they are going to be able to tell? Oh and this post took me two days to put together. Hugs.
