  join organizations who will actually do something

  Until you get attacked by MAGAs and proud boys.

  ‘DNC betrayed us’ crowd have no idea what’s in store. They wanted a radical change? They’re getting a radical change, just in an unexpected way.

  The Democratic Party slow rolled the justice system on Trump so they could run against him :)

    This is what gets me the most, the had 4 years and a presidential immunity ruling and did nothing.

    I’m telling you, all politicians like trump’s policies, they are the rich after all.

  I would love to, but what the hell are we gonna do? Starting a new nationwide party is practically impossible and. (Intentionally so, of course)

  And as much as we can point fingers and say “the people can fix the two party system” we have seen on multiple occasions that without major election reform that simply isn’t the case. Most of the country’s voters are older, and as we have seen today and yesterday, most voters would rather not vote at all than vote outside their party’s lines. The only reason third parties are even allowed to exist in the US is to either give the illusion of choice, or to spoil elections (as some argue happened in 2000, on top of all the other things fucked up with the 2000 election)

    Not in the US but in another place where fascism is on the rise. The sad reality is that leftists all around the world might have to start thinking about self-defence. Go to the gym, practice martial arts. Since you’re in the US, arm yourself, learn how to shoot.

    It sounds crazy but I’m not kidding, we still have time until the SA/SS Type of people actually have the power to roam the streets and establish a full blown dictatorship. Before that happens we have to learn to fight back.

    In parallel, get organized. Join grassroots organizations. Try to spread the word. Talk to the people you know and tell them what you’re doing and why. It feels like we can’t do anything but we have to start somewhere.

    And finally, think about an exit strategy. Once it’s 1933 and the dictatorship is established and political enemies go to the concentration camps, it’s too late and you better be somewhere abroad already.

    I know all of this sounds extreme, and I’m hoping for a much more boring dystopia, but this is what would prepare you for the truly Orwellian dystopia.

    I think the strat would be too found a new party ( let’s say American Worker’s Party AWP) on the state and country level.

    Get in the state parliaments. Later, if the party is established, get as many seats in the senate and the HoR as possible, but don’t touch the presidential race until it’s actually realistic.
