It appears the US congress has just proposed (edited) a bill that declares “Antifa” a terrorist organization.
This doesn’t even make sense as Antifa isn’t an organization, but just a shared name for anyone that self-identifies as a person opposed to and willing to fight fascism 🤦♂️
Stay safe out there!
Note: SLRPNK is an EU based service and we are openly Antifa here, and proudly so!
Either the voters wanted it, or the sit outs didn’t think it was that big a deal. That’s how they won, basically. Of course they will blame the politicians and the system for giving them bad candidates. I mean, the alternative is to take responsibility for their cluster fuck.
There was also a shit ton of voter suppression and gerrymandering that made taking both houses of congress way easier. It was a lot of things combined.
At the end of the day the Democrats failed to make a compelling argument to enough people to win.
Talking shit about people who wanted them to be different is pretty stupid. I see this all over here and it’s basically just doubling down on some of the attitudes and holier than thou bullshit that is what lost things for us here.
FWIW I voted for them, while also wishing they were different, and being deeply upset with some of their positions. I’m not who you’re attacking, but you aren’t doing anyone any favors with that nonsense.
I don’t really care how people voted. But to blame the system for an obvious choice they should have made is a fucking cop out. Own your choices. You did. I’m talking about all the people who didn’t vote and are now surprised the country is becoming what they said it’d become. There is never an ideal choice. They should grow up and quit whining when the thing they could have stopped but didn’t because it wasn’t ideal happened. It’s like an incel waiting for a perfect mate and whining why no one will give you the time of day.
the blame lies squarely within the system. democrats wouldnt have stopped it and it was a matter of time.
if they expected a higher turnout, they would have just gamed it harder to win.
Why have elections at all when you’re going to present people with “obvious” choices?
Biden should have simply cooronated his heir apparent. Seems like the whole election process was the mistake.
The deeply depressing part of this delusion is still believing Biden/Haris would have ended the Gaza genocide in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary.
Trump landed a ceasefire day one, because he pushed back on Netanyahu ever so slightly.
Not only was ending the genocide possible, it was incredibly easy. Biden’s team just didn’t want to do it.
the thing people were whining about is a fucking genocide you monster
I’m very sure they’re satisfied now. Aid to Israel and plans to ship the Palestinians out. Well done!
Oh and obligatory fuck off
Ah yes cause the fascist was gonna stop the genocide.

Whats funny about this is that Biden continued almost all of Trumps most right-wing policies, deported more people than Trump, was ramping up enforcement on immigration, was furthering the teade war nonsense, gave more money to police and military, gave Israel hundreds of billions in genocide aid. don’t forget that Biden and desmocratic Mayors across the US were just as down to criminalize Antifa, to the point of using gang enhancements. Like you people think it’s different one way or the other, like voters were choosing between fascism and something else, when we have always been voting for pepsi or coke oligarachy and thats not a thing that’s changed. In fascism their is one state party, but instead of party our politicians are united by class and it’s always been a class war on the poor and most vulnerable people, because the rich resent that we ever had enough power to resist our own enslavement. Trump just neglects the layers of goverent and immediately implements the oligarchy agenda. The problem isn’t just Trump, watch how many democrats vote in favor of his most atrocious legislation, because there is no part of the oligarchy that is meaningfully opposing Trump. Fascism has changed slightly since the last time. It is now entirely focused on class and Trump is the dictator of his class comrades. The rest of us better get in line as slaves or he will direct his next tantrum at us. There was no voting this shit away though, this shit was coming from Democrats as much as Republicans. We are actually now juat witnessing the same limits on electoral democracy that the weimar republic did aroubd the same time last century.
Ok. Happy now?
I’m reminded of the police violence under Obama - practical on day one of his administration - and how his response was to invite the thug with a badge out for a beer.
The day after he left office, the police brutality that followed was thrown at the feet of Bernie Sanders. But we weren’t supposed to acknowledge a problem white Dems were in office.
Can’t afford to be divisive.
You’re in an anarchist community… Do you consider yourself an anarchist? Because you sound like a liberal
Holy shit you’re dumb. I’ll refrain from the obvious political associations.
Lol
