They’ll have a to-do list for sure. Are they going to do it, that’s a whole different question.
They’ll have a to-do list for sure.
Send another $25B to Israel for… uh… things. Subsidize the tech sector’s enormous investments in AGI, so that those businesses and find new and exciting ways to remove adults from the workforce and replace them with substandard algorithms. Open more public lands up for industrial scale mining, particularly for fossil fuels, which will then be privatized and refined to sell to our energy hungry geopolitical allies in Europe and East Asia. Continue escalating militarily with every member of the BRICS, engaging in a slew of violations of international law (from surveillance to torture to civilian bombings) while beating our chest and declaring we are the champions of liberty and justice. Tax cuts! Domestic spending cuts! Privatization of public services!
Maybe we’ll get around to doing something for legalizing abortions specifically in blue states, if we can work it into the schedule.
Nobody’s ever been as mean to anyone as Bad Democrats are to poor trumpie :(
Yeah I don’t know, like Harris isn’t perfect enough yet for me. She hasn’t danced to my tune yet /“undecided” voter
As a European,
Wtf.
Like how can you ask for perfection when you have so much BS going on in a country
As a fellow European I’m equally baffled.
True, the Harris-Walz ticket isn’t amazing on all fronts and atrocious in some. But even their turd sandwich is better than whatever the GQP has cooked up. And there’s a tiny chance at progressivism with the Dems, but none with the Rs.
glances at the state of European politics
How can you talk shit when Kier Starmer, Emanuel Macron, and Olaf Schultz are your idea of good-enough liberal compromise? And why do these liberal centrists (in the US and Europe both) keep producing larger and larger factions of popular fascist movements?
Liberals have made “perfect” synonymous with “good”. Candidates like Corbyn and Melancion were the compromise, but y’all couldn’t resist selling your democracies down the river for another decade of dirt cheap imports.
Not at all. In general the political climate is terrible. I can talk shit because I’m not afraid to do so. You see I do have rights, and that’s something Americans are about to lose. That worries me.
And chosing between two evils is a bad position to be in, but they can still chose. What I don’t understand is why the American people are so reluctant to choose for freedom under democracy, albeit shabby, over a dictatorship with a senile maniac that hasn’t worked a day in his life. He’s everything parents warn children about, yet the parents still chose him. Wtf?
You see I do have rights, and that’s something Americans are about to lose.
I’ve seen this dogged insistence that Americans have rights but an election can take them away and all I can think of is the Iraq War Protesters, the OWS protesters, the Climate Change protesters, the Pro-Choice activists, LGBT activists, and the anti-Genocide protesters who have all seen police action against them.
You’re not about to lose your rights. You’re simply going to be subjected to a level of enforcement traditionally reserved for ethnic, religious, social minorities, labor organizers, and other broadly defined “Leftists”.
And chosing between two evils is a bad position to be in, but they can still chose.
The choice is an illusion in a system as degraded as the American democracy. Even at the most superficial level, you’re telling people they have a choice of who to support when the Electoral College clearly denies them this privilege. If you live in Texas, you’ll be counted as a Trump supporter whether you are or not. If you live in California, you’re counted to Harris. The swing states are exactly that - all or nothing. Individual voices don’t matter.
And that’s before you get into the decades of legalized disenfranchisement, vote caging, and voter intimidation that have shaped the results in states like Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina. Florida has the single largest number of disenfranchised voters - 1.1M people, roughly 1 in 14 eligible voters. They are legally disqualified from casting a ballot in the state, overwhelmingly biased against ethnicity. Then you’ve got places like DC and Puerto Rico, which are fully disenfranchised at the Congressional level and only tangentially represented in the EC, via ex-pat voters and the 23rd amendment.
This isn’t lesser of two evils, its a ratchet. Dems backstop progress with legalistic delays and poor leadership. GOPs ram ahead in direct violation of law and precedent, then face no consequences other than a brief sabbatical from high office during wave years. The end result is a consistent march towards fascism.

WHAT!? I CANNOT HEAR YOU ON MY TWO WEEK, LAW MANDATED, FULLY PAYED VACATION.
And even if I shot my left ball the hospital would be free.
Ah you shot your left bal too… Hate it when that happens.
That’s why tankies don’t want to support kamala.
It’s painfully clear by now that Gaza is just a trump card for them to whine about. It sucks.
That’s why tankies don’t want to support kamala.
“That” being the promises in the meme? I don’t understand why that would make them not support Kamala.
So lemme break things down…
Trump would turn the Israeli genocide of Palestine up to 11… MFKN TURBOMODE9000 GENOCIDE.
I’m figuring that must be what the tankies want to happen.
Or maybe you can figure out how voting for a third party that won’t win (I fucking promise you they won’t) ISNT helping trump out.
They’re leveraging a genocide to fuck with people’s emotions to manipulate things. It’s gross. Tankies are gross.

That’s so incredibly racist 😎
Well given that Acceleration is a go-to Tankie power move…
Do they have any other moves?
All I see is low-brow agitprop that is extremely easy to parse…
You call them out, there are 2 scenarios;
If you’re in tankie space they dogpile you because they can’t defend their ideas with reason.
Or
Outside of tankie space they target your emotions try to make you feel bad because their arguments are never about thinking or logic, always emotions. It’s because they are weak to their core and all the false strength is a show.
It would be cute if they weren’t so smelly.
Their real move is believing that they will be high and dry when the world is flooded by a flavor of fascism they’re comfortable with. Only to wind up surprised when the state quota for poets was met ages ago, but they need plenty of miners…

Tbf he has the concept of a plan
Trump supporters be like: “Um, ackchually, Trump wants to lower taxes, maybe only for the billionaires, but they can invest that into new jobs instead of paying for the state. Even if he outlawed homosexuality or transgenderism, a next president can re-legalize it!” (The last one was a real conversation I had with my mother about the child protection law of Fidesz, which so far seems only protecting the sensibilities of her boyfriend, who often makes such homophobic rants on disgust, you immediately know the real motive wasn’t the protection of children, unless you call childishly homophobic men children.)
If Trump wins, it’s not as simple as that. Which means that when he eventually discovers he still doesn’t have automatic fascist powers, he would immediately fall back to Project 2025. Which is why it is so foreboding - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025#Reactions_and_responses
I’m a centrist! I can’t tell the difference between these statements!
Harris needs to douch more than just help US families. She’s either going to rebuild the political system from the ground up or next elections after her will be the last. Dictators are knocking on the door and damn near half of the US is desperately trying to get that door open because they’ve been brainwashed into believing it’s the right thing to do
The entire winner takes all needs to go out the window, it will destroy the country. Electoral college, out the window, it’s a stupid idea to begin with. Gerrymandering, out. The supreme Court members should have a 4 years max tenure and requires VERY strict rules to avoid corruption
Concepts like fox news should be prohibited, too. Freedom of speech? Sure, but if you claim to be a news organization you either do your dned best to be honest or you get shut down. Fox news and honesty is like fore and water, it doesn’t go together.
Just a few ideas to begin with
I like where your head’s at, aside from Harris needing to douche.
We have to
do muchdouch more!Ask not what your country can douche for you…
…but what you can douche for your country!
Some people could really use a shower though
(douchen is to take a shower in Dutch)
They already had that out in Court. Fox successfully argued they’re an entertainment channel not a news channel and so the judge said what they were doing was fine.
Hrmm… getting rid of the “Winner takes all” thing might actually end division.

The results of this election should look like those rigged Central American dictatorship elections. So ashamed that so many of my fellow Americans can’t get the mental health help they obviously need.
He has concepts of revenge.
Unfortunately, Project 2025 is a whole book/organisation devoted to getting effective permanent revenge.
It’s basically a playbook on how to skirt and break the law in a way not likely to incite a counter revolution.
Sadly some people think “revenge” is a good enough platform to qualify sometime for the top office. As long as the revenge is at least pretending to target people they already don’t like or that they’ve been programmed to think had wronged them in some way.
High school mentality.
Lorde’s “Yellow Flicker Beat” sounds like it was written for this guy.
Most Trump supporters don’t seem to realize that he wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire. Well, unless they’re members of Mar-a-Lago. I think that’s included in the membership, but I’m gonna guess that job gets delegated to Don Jr. or Eric.
He has concepts of plans though.
Sadly a lot of people unironically think that these captions should be reversed, because revenge = violence and that’s Chad af and helping others is for wusses, or something
Also, hundreds of years of prosperity gospel. If you’re poor or suffering, then you must have done something wrong because God is punishing you. If you’re thriving, then you must be good because God is rewarding you. That’s one reason why the police go after poor people more heavily. There more likely to pull over an old beater car than they are a new pickup truck. So if you want to commit crimes just drive a newer truck because they won’t even look at you. Even better if you put a thin line sticker somewhere.
Not “hundreds of years”, don’t let them make you think it’s old. The idea that “God wants you to be wealthy and healthy and being poor and sick is because you displeased God” only really goes back to the start of the last century, and gained a lot of traction with the Jesus People type revivals in the 70s, when faith healing became a serious mainstream thing in the US. The larger portion of devout US Christians were largely fairly apolitical to left-leaning until about the 50s.
I think it does have some roots from back in the puritan settler days where hard work was a virtue.
