Other than vote what else would you suggest these people do? Just sit back and wait for shit to get worse? At least they are out there doing SOMETHING.
Yes, and I’m sure that “doing something” makes them feel better. But it’s not gonna change a damn thing.
If I knew what would change a damn thing, I’d be doing it too. So, aside from wasting time in useless protests that the Trump administration is absolutely going to ignore, do you have some magic spell that can cause them to change their mind? Because protests aren’t gonna do it. Petitions aren’t gonna do it. Hell, someone trying to shoot Trump twice didn’t do it.
Not the guy you were talking to, but what I propose is on the one hand, donate and volunteer to campaigns targeting the 2026 midterms. Especially ones that can primary centrist or complement Democrat incumbents, but still win the general election. The Democratic party needs more firebrands right now.
On the other hand, in case our fears are true and we simply don’t have any more fair elections, I suggest concurrently joining your local Socialist Rifle Association and making plans for resistance outside the bounds of the system. Take a first aid class, get your cardio going, become familiar with Signal, Tor, and other ways of covert communication. Save money. Make a bugout bag and get a plan to leave asap if necessary.

What do you propose as a solution? Just curious.

“try harder” or “arm for revolution”…. stellar choices we have
What other choices could there be? Join the fascists?
it’s not my job to think for you
It’s your job to think for you. And it looks like you’re on strike.

do I have to do all of your thinking for you?
Just having a conversation. You know, the entire point of platforms like this. But I guess shutting down the coversation is cool too.
If all of your “conversations “are trolling arguments, I pity anyone who has contact with you.
You sure have a lot of opinions on what not to do.
I enjoy the fact that hurts you. Please, provide me more opportunities to cause you pain.
Or you could just stop talking. Are you capable of that?
Ha! Not sure what gave you the idea that your dumb words and thoughts hurt me in the least.
Are you capable of empathizing with others? All signs point to no.
Thanks for proving my point
Anytime! I will be here when you need me!
