    Are you denying that if people had voted for the democrats just a few percent more this year project 2025 would not have been stopped, as trump likely would be dead when it came time for the next event?

    we can’t know the alternative timeline where the democrats would have won; but if their past behaviour is any indication they would have acted over confident and let the republicans walk all over them as before

    what we can do is look at the present and easily see that the fascist grab of power is basically complete and there is zero chance they will give up power (last time they literally led an insurrection to avoid giving up power)

    Of course the DNC could do more. The question is could you, the people, do any less to secure your democracy.

    I’m canadian but your are making my point, Americans are too gaslit, selfish and uninformed to even vote rationaly

    I don’t get how people act like there should just be this sudden moment where once and for all fascists will disappear. It will and has always been a continuous fight.

    do you think the magas would be this enboldened if any republican had been accountable?

      In what universe does this make any sense. The republicans wouldn’t have the political power to do that.

      what we can do is look at the present and easily see that the fascist grab of power is basically complete and there is zero chance they will give up power

      And until that happens, there is no point in try to get people not to participate.

      I’m canadian but your are making my point, Americans are too gaslit, selfish and uninformed to even vote rationaly

      And you only help that with your encouragement of voter apathy.

      do you think the magas would be this enboldened if any republican had been accountable?

      I’m not arguing against that, Im pointing out that its a constant fight, not one battle.
