The more we play nice and don't react, the more they will keep over stepping.
Violence is needed asap.

We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Those who are privileged, sure. Don't speak for those of us who have been fighting against this shit into your generalization.
Actually it's a vicious cycle that's perpetuated by apathy, accelerationism and privilege.
Of course we don't live in a democracy. Have you missed the constant assault on anybody who isn't a cishet white male since time immemorial?
That is not the main goal of a Political Party, the political parties exist to win elections and elect people to govern. Republican agenda passed because they got control of the government at critical times due to winning elections. Other organiztions are better suited to do what you are advocating, not the Democratic Party.
Liberal America died in 2016.
The consequences of that election have been a total disaster for America and democracy.

I think that would make sense if this could be solved with an Executive Order, but given that we need the Senate it's basically organizing 50+ people for a stealth operation. It feels like a strategy that requires perhaps too much luck.
you have to use a very special voting hardness combo move to escape a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie
not winning the senate just delays this by a bit
remember Liberal hero John Mcain said they would deny Clinton a supreme court pick
if we go back further we could make a divergent point 30 years ago so that Joe Biden uses the Fillibuster on Clarence Thomas instead of the democratic senate majority voting for that rapist.
make divergent points for any election after such as gore v bush then an alt 2004, which is basically saying there should be a one party state to pfrevent rollbacks of progress,
which I kinda agree. it just should be a vanguard of the proletariat instead of a legacy party of status quo
ofcourse state and city level dems are not very good at police reform wherever they are.

meanwhile biden will sit with a thumb up his ass wondering "how did this happen?"
not even a single act that shows he cares, just "golly gee, looks like we have work to do"
why the fuck do i even bother voting D at this point, the party fucking blows

I do think holding your nose and refusing to vote for anything but your ideal candidate is childish, as is having a guilty conscience because you voted for someone you don't agree with 100% of the time. "Worst case scenario mitigation" basically describes voting to me, so I'll vote for the lesser evil 10 out of 10 times and sleep soundly, with zero worries in my heart. But here's the thing: people don't work that way and it'd be stupid for me to want them to. So pinning electoral failures on the people for not having voted enough is stupid. Hillary was a trash candidate, which is why she lost. Biden was a better one, so he won. It's up to the candidate to inspire his base, no one is owed votes, as much as I'd want people to be completely rational and content with just preventing the worst possible result on the ballot. So in a sense both the "you should have voted" and "votes don't accomplish anything" people are wrong. Voting matters, but politicians have to earn their offices.
Hey. I hear you -- it's a lot. Do you have any friends or loved ones you could make plans to see tonight? Even in the darkest, most hopeless times human beings all throughout history have been able to find a reason to keep going. We can too.
I hear you. And for whatever it's worth, I forgive you for being an imperfect human who's just doing what they can as we live through this life for the first time. Learn, improve, move on. You are valuable.
It doesn't. But it's all these people know: attack everything and everyone except the American system itself
He can literally not do anything about it you fucking idiot.
Please fuck off.
When I say Republicans and Democrats, I mean political activists representing those parties. Apologies for the vague language. I understand that elected officials cannot do much other than campaign and write legislation.
"Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment. If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don't know." - Donald Trump
Just keep in mind they're coming after same sex marriage and contraceptive rights now too...Your country is fucked
The right to be gay, they want to make it illegal to be gay.
It's about sodomy. Anti-sodomy laws are used against gay people.
Look at these praetorian-looking motherfuckers champing at the bit to confront female protestors, yet were suspiciously absent on Jan 6.
That sounds to me like a threat to ban homosexuality outright. What on earth happened America?
The problem is the republican women don't see an issue with the overturning of the case..we need to save the unborn babies but when they're born who gives a fuck what happens. Religious fucknuts all of them.
Interracial marriage, Brown v Board and slavery becoming legal again are on the agenda after that. These pieces of shit won't stop until every right is stripped away.
There have been peaceful protests, parades, colorful flags, well thought and well spoken speeches but it is vilified and seems to be making no progress as the right becomes more toxic and cancerous.
It's monstrous and sickening and makes me see red.
The rightwing took SCOTUS and are on the attack. They're not holding anything back.
How do you know? If Mitch was the President and Obama was a majority leader who did not gave his nominee a shot, do you think Mitch would have just rolled over? He would have absolutely seated his nominee and when the term was up, would have torched Obama if he tried to unseat him. The truth is we don't know if this would have happened. The point is Obama could have done it, even for a year.
The overall point which I keep emphasizing is that Democrats do not have a lot of fighters. They mostly have a bunch of losers in suits who adhere to decorum and play by Republicans rules. They need to act through, not just empty platitudes and musings.
Brown basically died on its own with surburban white flight. White people always have their cheat codes.
have you ever read a history book? Go read Robert Caro's Master of the Senate and see how shit gets done. If the president doesn't push for shit, it doesn't get done. I don't buy into this strategy of "well, he can't unilaterally achieve the goal, so he shouldn't do shit and just beg us to vote harder."
I already vote as hard as I'm legally allowed to. I would like them do actually do some hardball politics for once.
Because at WORST it acts as a doorstop to THIS kind of human rights rollback, and anything better means you might actually get something good done?
Well it looks like we have two elections in the next 3 years in which the Democrats are expected to lose. I'm not optimistic at all.
I'm not from the US, but it honestly seems hard to believe this is really happening. As others have mentioned, I imagine everyone that wants to block abortion is probably almost certainly against same sex relations too, and you wonder if that is next. I truly feel sorry for people living in States where this has just/about to become illegal. Moving is not easy for everyone.
Birth control pills, condoms, IUDs, and other things that can potentially halt pregenacies in women.
What is the argument for banning contraception in a state that pays lip service to the separation of church and state?
You know I never thought the US was at risk of being on the list of countries I can't legally visit. But here we are.
