we need some very brave Americans, who are capable of making very loud immediate change. most of us are cowards.

Also, I feel like “American democracy” is a terrible label for an imperial oligarchy.

I hear the words said in this video in my head every day and I don’t even know what to do at this point. Everyone around me keeps acting like we have enough time to wait for change to come.

I won't be surprised if it doesn't last through the decade. republicans are going to do wild things in the midterms and in 2028

at least we don't have to off the anarchist inside of us- unlike our inner cop- to take up the collective radical acts that are necessary, but we are going to have to do some things that may severely stress test their principles to see if some or none remain viable at all in the after.

I have said this for many years. I taught climate science in AK to HS students and when I core sampled a glacier there with climatologists in 2009, they told me we were so fcked THEN. The time it takes to vote our way into saying ourselves from this 6th mass extinction event will be our undoing.

I'm about at the point where I start making spreadsheets/Google alerts and shaming politicians because why did several California Democratic incumbents, with double digit leads in their districts, vote to honor Charlie Kirk last year? Like what are they even doing??? Are they just going through the motions??? How does this make any sense politically???

So you don’t want America to continue with what democracy we do have and become more democratic? What, then, are you proposing?

Scootington Puff :
To be fair, the idea of America having democracy is a farce. Sure, the American electorate is stupid and easily tricked. But also the American electorate doesn’t get what it wants, even when it accidentally appears to vote in its best interests. The only group that decides what happens in this country has a net worth in the hundreds of millions or more.

Looking at how fast the climate is crashing & the right is getting more violent with ZERO opposition, I can’t see USA democracy lasting more than 10 years

There are some people who would be perfectly okay with doing the most horrible acts to people as long as it is a democratically established policy. That's how ICE has been allowed to manifest its current form with so little proportionate resistance.

Thinking about how to approach this - but can you work backwards from a place where a rapture-esque revolution doesn’t take place and how that might change your political mindset? I just can’t take seriously the claim that American democracy is almost over from someone who has only had the ability to vote for 4 years. It seems more likely to me that this project will keep going with those who take the most interest in figuring out how to actually navigate this system taking reins of the levers of power.
