I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil. How can they win back the country? Is it too late?
THIS is the moment where everyone should be creating 3rd party candidates and going to the streets to spread awareness for the next election.
Not 6 months before the election with trump as a possibility. Get out there and promote 3rd party now, when people are pissed at Democrats for throwing it all away for Israel and people are pissed the trump won.
Dnc komissars are brain dead… Another bullshit campaign they botched… 2016 vibes failed again…
Either way, these regime whores are useless.
3p is the only way for a chance of any fucking reform.
Until then beatings will continue…
Honestly at this point y’all should just get the fuck out. Where to? Anywhere honestly. You’ll probably find the third world preferable to a post project 2025 Murica.
Russia’s been having a major brain drain issue as all people with functioning brains either have escaped or want to escape the country. I don’t see why Americans should do any different.
Eat shit.
This post is about recovery, not abandonment. Letting America fall will have global repercussions. Instructing us to give up is not helpful.

Recovery from what? Fascism is what your own neighbours chose. This is the system working exactly as intended and pretending it’s not is covering one’s own eyes. There are hundreds of millions of Americans for whom this is a good day. They have the backing of the wealthy and powerful. And their project is to remove any chance of them ever losing power again.
Thinking you’ll stop something like Project 2025 in the ballot box is willful ignorance at this point.
Since OP has already made it clear that “violent uprising” is not on the cards, then the alternative is to get out while they can. Hopefully while helping others do the same. Save themselves and their own.
When Germany went all Nazi in the 30s~40s you know who DID make a difference? Not the political opposition who got slaughtered. And not the people who let the Nazis walk all over them while claiming they were still better because they were “civil”. It was people who got out of Germany and then joined the fight on the side of the allies.
Also:
Eat shit.
Don’t threaten me with a good time, gringo <3
FWIW a candidate the left could vote for instead of someone to vote against would help.
It would.
But I think that ship has sailed.
And honestly it might be the third-worlder-accustomed-to-things-being-uttter-bullshit in me. But I think “Winning back the country” is an unrealistic and foolhardy goal. Everyone who is on the radar for being harmed by Trump should look out for themselves and their own. Which includes “getting the fuck out of the country” if that is what it takes.
Additionally: A significant portion of the country won today. They got exactly what they wanted. And pretending that this neofascism is some kind of external infection is tantamount to covering one’s own ears.

See, I think it’s mixed. You’re absolutely right that people voted for this. At the same time, years of propaganda by monied interests have led us up to this point. Authoritarianism has been low-key popular at least since the 90s (maybe earlier, but the 90s was when I started school, and learned by experience that fascism is how the school system operates.) People are scared to rock the boat against their “leaders,” and given enough time, this is the result.
I wish I had time right now to write more about this, because there is some deep psychological manipulation that’s embedded in the fabric of this country. It doesn’t excuse people’s behaviors, but knowing how and why they operate is crucial to understanding the big picture.
Damn, and europe already has a lot of refugees to deal with :p
This has actually all been a very elaborate “come to Brazil” meme on my part.Jokes aside, given how a lot of our people tend to worship the floor 'Murica walks on, if a bunch of refugees from the US came over, they’d probably be welcomed with open arms. :P
Wait till next election. Trump can only run for two terms.
One would hope that is the case…
It’s been “too late” for 'mericans to “win back the country” for a couple of decades at least. I mean, the entire electoral/voting system needs to be redone from the ground up because it’s very non-democratic.
If Trump won the electoral college but not the popular vote I’d say it is.non-Democratic. But he won the popular vote too. So half the country are just self destructive.
People don’t vote because they see the system is rigged so the popular vote isn’t a great standard to go by either, it’s a product of the system as well
If you had 100% turnout the popular vote would be very different.
There were no good options. And that’s because of the electoral system.
California has only counted around half their votes so a popular vote win for Kamala could be a thing.
I’m sorry, you’re looking at these results and seeing too little democracy in play?
Yes. The Dems lost this election more than the Reps won it.
And no, it’s not just Harris. It’s the fact they haven’t accomplished anything substantially changing the lives of people for dozens of years, and they fought more against people like Sanders than people like Cheney.
Limp dick DNC shills corpo agenda than pika face when peasants dont stay loyal to “the good team”
Are you drunk? Just because I would understand if you were drunk.
The ACA never happened in your mind?
The ACA, which brought US healthcare from an 18th century level to a 19th century one in 2010, was a half measure under Obama, he got reelected for it, he was president for 7 more years after he signed that.
First time voters today were 4 years old when it happened. What else has the Democratic Party been doing? How about the housing crisis? How about inflation? Oh, they got that one 1400 USD stimmy check passed after Trump looted the coffers for corpos big and small.
Look, I’m not saying Harris wasn’t the better, less destructive choice. I’m saying something had had to happen, and people didn’t turn out for a candidate who said the past four years and the way the world is going is good. Not as well as for someone who saw problems and proposed - admittedly monstrous and ineffective - solutions.
Yes. It’s not half of America, it’s half of the voters. Things would change drastically if only the nonvoter voted.

There is a big fat assumption in there, a similar reason why kamala lost…
If you consider that more people didn’t vote for Trump and he still won, then yes.
By not being single issue shit heads.
Maybe Biden could pack the Supreme Court before leaving office.
It wouldn’t be a great idea in the long run, but it’d potentially stop the entire system from functioning right now.
He should have expanded it as soon as he was elected.
Education, unfortunately those in the most need of it are out of an educational institution so they will only be fed on a diet of commercialism and disinformation.
Some children really did get left behind
Modern education is 50/50 ticket to debt slavery
I’m actually talking about the public school system not college.
Public schooling is compulsory, i am not following who is out of it?
They’re the political opposition now. They should do what good opposition work includes. Hold the government accountable, force them to deliver results. Make the people pay attention and realize if their bills become less or more expensive. And I’d say re-consider life-choices. And make some fundamental changes. Maybe start a new political party if the Democrats are beyond hope.
you organize to pressure the burgeoise, as always, because they are the ones funding every winning political candidate.
except for americans fascism seem to be tolerable but god forbid you learn from marxism and socialism.
Let the loud mouthed Marxists finally carry out the revolution they’ve been babbling about for the past 10 years. Oh wait…
U glowing
By finally doing what it clearly needs to do, splitting in multiple countries so red States can finally become third world countries like they so want to be.
It’s funny that the last time this was floated by Republicans, they thought they were kicking the Democrat states out.
In other words, they thought they were keeping the Federal government.
Republican states need Democrat states far more than vice versa.
If Trump truly does win, Republicans won’t split the country. They’ll make it even more impossible to leave.
I mean, no matter who gets kicked out by who, there would be at least two federal governments… I think most people don’t realize that when a country splits, the (at least two) new entities both become independent countries with their own government…
As an American, I expected most Americans to be at least semi-rational and to recognize what a threat to democracy and our way of life that Trump is. I expected most Republicans to just vote for him out of reflex, but otherwise the rest of America would rise up in our hour of need to vote against this and save us all from this idiocy.
Nope. There was just more people lined up to vote for more idiocy. We failed the world. I’d say I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’ll help. This is America.
Agree, and sadly he won the popular vote too (so far). It’s really bleak how many people don’t vote at all.
They all voted with their wallets. It’s really simple. That’s how these people are able to come into power.
Except Trump isn’t here to help their wallets.
If they could read they would be very upset you said that
Most Americans like and support Trump. That IS America.
Now that is something to think about… sad really
There’s nothing to win back, this is America, always has been.
You let it burn.
Yup, progressive politics in the US has been an exception not the rule. After about ~30 years we are just going back to business as usual. People forget segregation and women not being able to have their own bank accounts and abortion being illegal (the first time), is not something from ancient history. And before that the country literally went to war over itself over the idea that they should be able to own other huma s as property
They just did. They’ll happily lie in the bed they shat in at first. By the time they realize their mistake, it will be too late.
It’ll be when a dem takes control and they’ll blame the fallout on that person. Same as usual.
A cancer metastasizing is the opposite of Americans winning their country back.
They were referring to what the slack jawed morons who voted for trump think
