i marched and everyone i talked to in person was adamant that their goal was to shift kamala left, not to shift the election toward trump. i get your anger about the election, but don't let the terminally online color what those protestors really wanted. they're also now the most organized resistance against trump. they're still working, even under threat of violence from the national guard. they're heroes, not villains

Yeah, fuck the terminally online twats who pushed 'both sides are the same', but anti-genocide protesters were not inherently contributors to the outcome we received. They were a voice of conscience to a nation that was still not ready to heed it. Unfortunately.

That is good to hear, USA needs an up to date constitution, like a complete refactoring

I don’t see blue nor red changing the political landscape or even a tiny bit in the constitution, so it has to be the people, I fear.

There must be a way for the people of USA to vote for a change in constitution, here in switzerland, it is called an initiative. If enough people sign to approve that initiative, there will be a nation wide vote, where the majority of the people and the majority of the cantons (states) approves this initiative.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

The consequences were known, and they've arrived
