“Filthy Communists” - Hitler 1933
thats despite peaceful protesting btw.
Question: I’m not one for protesting and marching in the street. I’m sure it matters, but I’m introverted and large crowds make me very anxious. I also have health condition that needs regular management and live in the rurals, most of my time is spent at home. What can I do to actually help?
I already donate to causes I care about regularly, such as my local food bank, wikipedia, NPR, and PBS. Is there something else I can or should be doing? I hate what’s happening to the US right now, but I don’t feel like I have much, if any power to do anything about it or help, outside of donating to charitable causes.
You can search for local mutual aid groups. You won’t have to be in crowds but you can still help with organizing, and making a difference on the ground. Logistics and administration are crazy helpful.
Any tips on what I should be looking for? Or sites that might help?
Most activist groups will leave flyers in your local coffee shops and libraries. That and literally just googling “local activist groups” wouldn’t be a bad place to start
Plenty of groups just need data entry if you can’t do much outside of the house. Otherwise educating yourself and your friends and family goes a long way. Try to keep in touch with your neighbors. Support where you can as you can
Where’s Nancy Pelosi? Probably too busy getting rich. These Democrats supported a genocide and they got us in this position because all they are is controlled opposition. In order to have any thoughts about domestic politics in the imperial core, you need to understand the world as a whole. Liberals struggle to do this. This little island called the United States likes to smell its own brand. I think the right-wing piglets call this fuck around and find out. At least these fascist neoliberals are actually working for their money nowadays. You ain’t getting no tears from me. I saw it down the track, a hundred miles away. There is no fucking war, but the class war
Where’s Nancy Pelosi?
So cool for Democrats to be in functional retirement, but still squat on their House seats like they’re taking a lifetime shit.
Fucking Boomers.
Yes, she was born 4 years early to officially be a boomer, but she’s definitely a “fuck you, got mine” boomer.
It’s all Biden’s fault.
But hey, at least people are gathering in the streets! If there’s one thing that fascists hate it’s groups of people walking together.
I love how American’s are all proud of their “No Kings” turnout but are too stupid to realize at the end of the day it means nothing. It changes nothing. Trump and his Christian Nationalist handlers don’t give a shit and don’t even have to pay attention to it. The county is still falling down.
For those of you keeping track, for this week it’s MAGA 5 / “Resistance” 0
Hey but the cities around me had protests that went till 2pm, only on a non-work day and family friendly so everyone could get their photo ops and be home in time to watch the game. That’s surley going to change things right? … right?
I don’t know. I think it took at LEAST four “peaceful protests” to stop the Nazis, so you still have a way to go.
DNC: Oh no! Our fellow party members have been harassed and killed.
Also DNC: Anyway…
But but but…there “sounding the alarm”. You don’t understand it’s sooooo hard to run candidates someone would really vote for. (sarcasm)
Well Trump won in 2024 so obviously that means the american people want conservative policy. Trump moved right, that means if we run on Trumps 2024 platform, every Republican except the wackos further right than Trump will vote for us! And everyone to their left has to vote for us anyway! W/Elon 2028!
This is unironically how FPTP systems work. You ALWAYS have to vote for the lesser evil, because if you don’t and the bigger one wins, the other one will shift even more to the right since they know actual voters lean more towards them.
Is this sarcasm a cult of personality doesn’t depend on positions
Okay, but have you considered that these are the policies we like too, and if we can deprive you if other options, we’re just going to do them, and you’re a fascist fir not getting on your knees and praising us?

It is satire of dem logic since Bill Clinton.
Not even kidding, they call it median voter theory, and genuinely believe the best way to win an election is by 1. Promote the furthest right republican candidate. 2. Triangulate the dem candidate’s positions to be 1 iota to the left of the republican.
This is how they justify compromised, means-tested policies instead of universal policies; the ones that provide immediate material improvements to people’s lives are too far left, the ineffective policies that help nobody are more in line with what republican would want the dems to pass.
When this fails, they can only conclude that their policy was too far left.
I honestly think that the Dem’s big tent policy from the Obama administration (remember the Blue Dog Dems?) has caused them to become infected by ‘temporarily embarrassed Republicans’ who have slowly but surely used their money and influence to shift the party rightward.
Think of all those ‘Never Trumpers’, and where they’ve wound up - hell, Kamala was spruiking Liz Cheney!
Australia is going through its own self-destruction of our mainstream right-wing party - but at least they had the good graces to split into their own loose coalition of ‘independents’ (Teals) instead of infecting our Labor party.
It goes back further, Clinton cut welfare and passed draconian, racist anti-drug laws accepting Reagan’s “welfare queens” and “crack babies predisposed to crime” canard the same way Obama built the cages to punish illegal criminal migrants and made healthcare about “skin in the game”, meaning poor paying for health insurance and Harris ran on the most lethal military in history and stopping the migrant invasion.
Undoubtedly; I guess I’m more pointing to the point that I think the ‘neo-liberal’ cancer metastasised within the DNC.
Carrying forward with the analogy, it will take a significant commit through radiotherapy (primary challenges to corpo-Dems), chemotherapy (promoting radical left-wing policies), and surgery (forgoing corporate funding in favour of grass-roots support) in order for the party to survive.
Hell year one! Hasn’t even been 6 months.
Don’t WORRY! Democrats ALREADY have the Fundraising text WRITTEN and READY TO GO for when the NEXT Democrat Politician gets Assassinated!
I’m BEGGING YOU on my KNEES! We need ONE MORE GIFT to FIGHT BACK the CONSERVATIVE AGENDA. We can’t stop TRUMP, his MAGA CRONIES, and the CORRUPT REPUBLICANS without your HELP! Will you STAND WITH BERNIE and DONATE NOW? $20=$560. Select your answer below!

Aww, not a real site. Bummer.
It is only half way into year 1 FFS
Technically it’s been almost 5 months.
Judge arrested
There probably won’t be midterm elections. If there are, it will be with armed ICE agents accosting people in line to vote and making arrests.
There probably won’t be midterm elections.
Talk to me when Trump cancels the gubernatorial elections in NJ and VA. Then we can worry about cancelling the midterms.
Time to play dress-up and vote in your best MAGA outfit. But I’ll warn you–you can’t out MAGA me, I’m Latino, after all. 😂
Believe it or not, straight to an El Salvador death camp
After letting him vote for sure :)
No way the party incapable of doing anything defeated by the party capable of only evil, never would have seen this coming
You’re selling the dems short. They’ve shown theyre capable of facilitating genocide, sending the police to kick the shit out of politically activated college students, the kind who get all their friends to vote, funding ICE, building bigger “migrants overflow facilities”.
Let’s not forget all the Bad Things™ the Republicans have dealt with this year! They have:
A Republican-funding billionaire throwing a tantrum at Daddy Donny.
A Republican senator arrested for CSAM.
Good American patriots are being targeted and singled out! Woe is them, it’s not fair! /s
