    What world are you living in?

    They had 4 years to fight Trump and make sure he was properly tried and sentenced for his crimes and they just didn’t because they didn’t want to look like they were going after political opponents. They have actually done next to nothing to fight him.

    And the “mistake” they don’t want to interrupt is Trump deporting people to random countries, setting up a giant concentration camp in gitmo, cutting cancer research funding and making life he’ll for trans people. So maybe they SHOULD interrupt this mistake, with more than just signs.

      Anyone with 2 ears and 2 eyes saw and heard the warnings. This is on the American people who chose not to vote their way out of this. I don’t care what they didn’t accomplish, it could’ve been cut and dry if people just voted.

        Do you understand how gerrymandering works? Winner take all? Plus all the other strategies? Millions of us didn’t have our votes count for anything. Didn’t matter who we picked… But you think we should blame ourselves.

        Obviously it’s complicated, but if your simple answer is “blame the victims” then I’m not sure where you’ve been living.

        people don’t “choose” to not vote on the scales we see in america today.

        the fact that ~64% of just eligible voters, not even the entire population, is considered “historic turnouts” tells you all you need to know about the “democracy” we live in.

        the vast, vast majority of americans are disenfranchised, and always have been. people do not choose to be oppressed.

        when will it be kosher to say this out loud?

        the rhetoric spread in this comment i am replying to is in service of the fascists and their goals. “of course this is happening, they deserved it.”
