First order of business has to be legislation to keep this from ever happening again.

No more felons in the white-house…or congress for that matter. No more moneymaking by people who get a government paycheck. Period. If you make 175K/year, that is the top limit of what you should be allowed to earn over the course of your time in government…

if you’re there to make money, nope.

With a single executive order the next president can undo every single thing Trump has done.

I want a maxi-mamdani… Like 3 or 4 of them in one candidate. ;-)

No, when ideological purists stay home, democrats lose. It has nothing to do with what they do. The same 35% of idiots vote for republicans in every election.

But when the left doesn’t show up to combat it, they win.

I will vote as far left int he primaries as I can…

But in the general, I will vote as far left as I can. Don’t care who it is.

I will vote or die trying.

I hate polls… the more polls show democrats ahead, the more money the billionare class is going to pour into defeating them in those races. It’s giving them a fucking roadmap.

The only poll that matters is November.

The only poll that matters is the one in November. Let’s hope people show up this time.

Hope changes the world…even if it’s a little bit at a time.

He’s turning into an amazing Mayor… Here’s hoping he can carry it off. The part the conservatives are most afraid of is that his plans will work…because they will (are already to an extent) work and serve as a template for other cities and states if they do.

If you don’t want a say in the government, by all means don’t vote.

It’s not, as someone else explained, it’s nurture, not nature… But kids raised by dumbasses are more likely to grow up to be dumbasses themselves… (I live in SW Virginia, I see it first hand ALL the time.)

There are, of course, exceptions, but it still holds true more often than not.

If you don’t vote, you don’t get a say. If you piss your vote away on someone who doesn’t have a chance, you also don’t get a say.

No crying, no tantrum. I am lucky in that I’m a middle-aged white-man so I likely won’t have any issue survivng the next Trump…

But I feel sorry for the marginalized communities who WILL (and ARE) suffering… They don’t stand a chance if the republicans get another term…

And how’s that working for the world?

Hey I’m excited about the state of Democratic socialists winning. If one shows up on the general ballot in Virginia I’ll gladly vote for them.

But if I have to choose between a centrist and someone like trump, I’m gonna choose the centrist every time. Sometimes the lesser of two evils is quite a lot less fucking evil apparently.

No…just a few years of people not showing up is what got us here.

You chose more evil over less evil. Not voting is choosing to let other people decide for you. It’s an abdication of responsibility.

Well know who to blame when trump light makes it in in 2028. It will all be on you. Could have stopped it and didn’t will be carved on your tombstone.

I finally got my lemmy server working.

I hate to say it, but yeah… I know this smells of eugenetics, but getting stupid out of the gene-pool is not necessarily a bad thing…

Watch the first 5 minutes of the movie “Idiocracy” for a great example of why…

The good thing about vaccine denial-ism is that it tends to kill people stupid enough to fall for vaccine denial-ism…
