Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 1 day agoIf Democrats made meaningful change at the expense of their rich owners, which is what is required for most problems to improve, then their apathy provokes people to also be apathetic.
Sorry but that’s how it works

This doesn’t answer my question.
Do you think change will be easier to make when a party is in power that is slowly chipping away at your freedoms, or when a party is in place that is going to go full-tilt authoritarian and do as much damage in as little time as possible?

Verifiable reality says no.
Neither of the halfs of the Duopoly are interested in making the necessary changes to improve people’s lives unless those people are rich.

Make it make sense… You are telling me that citizens would have the same quality of life right now and no more to fight for than they currently do under the current administration, had Harris have won? I find that incredibly difficult to believe.

If Harris won then it’s 4 more years of no tangible positive change, then the electorate becomes frustrated and votes in the Republican fascist. Republicans win because Dems fail to improve things.
You are operating in this weird idyllic neolib space where you think a party is their policies, in the real world a party is what they can actually accomplish.
And you don’t seem to realize that when everything exclusively gets worse, and never better, every year, then people are not going to care how worse it gets. They will instead detach from the broken system where everything only gets worse.
I would have preferred Kamala by a ton, voted for her. But I’m not deluding myself into thinking she would make anything better, because that requires forcing her doners to lose money, and she won’t do that, no Democrat will.
