ICE is law enforcement, you are mistaken.

She's a former cop and prosecutor that wasn't selected through a primary process (not that Dems ever allow anyone not selected by party elites.)

She's basically a Republican with zero progressive policies, which isn't going to appeal to an increasingly radicalized base.

There were a lot of problems with her that had nothing to do with her being a her.

Democrats keep chasing votes to the right, abandoning the actual left and the working class.

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.

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.

They already overthrew their government and embraced socialism. You act like they want to overthrow their current government. They live decent lives. Better than ours. Our media lies to you about them. They are largely happy. I know it's impossible to imagine that, what with living in this nightmare, but it's possible when your government treats you as more than consumables to be exploited for profits.
