  2. Yes literally , most representatives are as lost as anyone and seeing peoplr asking question has a good chance to remind them what people want. An you can directly sent to the email of your representative which is something, and demonstrations might be not always bear fruit, but you meet people.

  3. But also you have to suppoirt liberals you dont like to avoid fashists a lot, which, yeah america, vote! Vote and then also smaller elections, politics, mutual aid whatever, but its kinda a duty to vote. Imagine germany kept having a liberal government instead which, yeah would have been better, and now us has a lot in common with then weimar germany. So vote.

  5. Yep democracy is flawed, frustrating and sucks, but its the best tried and working system in history :D Also change was near always frustrating, slow, felt really , well frustrating and bit by bit. But its still worth dragging society forward every step. And people can suck, frustrating and that , but also arent bad, at least most. More people should read terry pratchet. And the patriarch doesnt endorse authoriterianism ok.

  6.  @cfisher11  Ther was no time, and she was already the vice president, and any other possible canidates, did agree and get behind her. So its still pretty democratic. There are so many exceptional things that, its reasonable to do. And there was the choice of people saying do and declining in thatprocess, and all other viable canidates, did agree. Its indeed not a dictatorship.

  7. Honestly i know its an intentional not wanting to be dragged in to that mess why she is verry avoiding, but damn if she could talk at least publicly talk to an arab or palestinian, like a lot palestinians are actually mild and not like the insane protesters, taklk to one , public, or an arab and it would relief a lot she is fine. What would be the harm her showing talking to ny arab person. To be clear person say that she should do that but srill support her, jus tshe would be easier to sell if she even alone talked to an arab or palestinian public.

  8. Biden did a pretty good job mostly too, and Kamala likely will too, trump, just bring dread and fashism.

  10. Her more centrist seems to b an act too, and its refreshing to like somewone there as human being, she is. A likable person. With a warm laugh. That also has decent principles. And she literally does no genocides, israel is messy as hell and whatever you can say, she doesnt go bomb babies.

  11. Also the its not always immeatent event, so i dont think its useless if now failing, but also its insane to demant to rise up and have imeatend yay win, pretty often demonatrations add under sacrifices a lot building up, and cracked uopn, ots pretentious to say grr grr rise up and expect it always to work, as it to demand that of people, which is very patronizing. Encouraging, ok, demanding, just no. And some positivity and hope is good there, but also. that doesnt mean to be naive and not realistic. You can be cynicaland have hope

  12. I dont think he is a doomer and more very absurdist, but , yeah, dont give up on people entirely, people can be great and terrible and, frustrating. But they always were. As were governments. And a lot is just, Ok i reccomand terry pratchet to read? its fun and humanist in a cynical way. But optimist too.

  15.  @masterofthechimichangas1306  And for the us, if your vote didnt matter they wouldnt try to take it away.

  16. I think the demanding together is, a bit naive, but i like that even one person can have a life changing fect on another person, and another, and so on. I mean we shouldn stof focucing on the grandious and how we can make each others life better, and if you have any ssay in politics or aid there, good, but it doesnt need to be, it can just be a good influence on each other if you can, and simple things can be life changing to others. I am not saying to toxic positivity, but believing in something is good to get through , and simple things to one person can be a lot to others. And we should remember that. I would say vote is simple to be honest, all the talk, nah its a simple thing you should and can do, and if thats not satisfying, has it to be, there are in the us many organizers who do stuff. , or help mutual aid, or demonstrations even if useless, you do something and meet people. Its not like hippies werent, way too mythologized people hanging out and enjoying doing that, its fine. Anyways ther are a lot smaller seeming average basic wways that can even change lives. We should think of that when its overwhelming. Embrace existencialism and aabsurdism.

  17. @nothanks9503 It still does, its jusat made overwhelming and abstract and , panics always happened. Did life matter in the red scare? Its not new, just the fast technology. History is really good to see, yeah, its not new, we lived through it, it sucked, and honestly the re scare did irreperable damage but life went on. And thats with a lot. Liufe is as real and matters as in any time in history. We arent that special now, other than way too fast overwhelming social media, but then satanic panic and red scare show, thats not the reason for that scares and panics. Also there was always scare that newer media will do vrainrot, and insane brainrot from panics, in history. Yes it kinda is , but also, people paniced about the radio and. really its not new. And some perspective really makes it , oh no it was never , thats so new, its not . Admitedly a lot comes together and climate change worsening, maybe, but the rest is just a lot coming together at once, and thats not new in history either. Like thats why many bring up, yeah, that literally happened in weimar germany, why to be careful. That comparison come up for a reasons, yes you should vote, because to make care not to get a divctator, like in weimar germany that as really familiar. And other times.

  18.  bimmebeau  Well often were, literally in history, the good thing is selfinterest can overlap with general good.

  19. Things near all af the times , barely change, and did. Why a lot struggles, went over a lot time, but worth it. Slow change is most of the time just the norm, thats reality. And i find that actually good, yes more opportunities to make it faster, good, but its still change else too.

  20.  @ainz2579  Thats a very reductive and wrong way to look at things. First whats your definition of Bougiarcy, and then how fits that. And sorrym any political also involves compromises and life isnt fair, it can be made fairer, but its not fair. And i dont see how complaining hjust about life isnt fair does help adress anything?

  21. But its still a democracy, and any democracy needs to pe protected, 2025 is how to destroy the flawed democracy left. under trump. And supreme court could be stuff done against, hopefully, and it be filled, and its not hopeless, its bad, but not hopeless. Hope dies last.
