US Democracy
(lemmy.world)
Also say goodbye to internet freedom of speech, if even a small portion of Project 2025 comes into play. Anti-pornography activism sounds nice on paper, until you realize everyone has a different definition of pornography, and the people that want to ban porn the most have a rather interesting take on what constitutes as porn and what doesn't...
How does anti-pornography sound good to you? If you are about to give some religious nonsense, please don't bother.

“Anti-pornography” specifically means “anti-LGBT” to them.
They will extend it to mean anything outside of what their version of Christianity allows, which will include a lot of straight people
It absolutely does not sound nice on paper.

Remember when the US-Government dropped fucking poison Gas von striking Miners?
Maybe this whole US-Idea was not that great to begin with.
(in spirit since I am not American)
Part of that joke though is that they're both exactly the same which is of course a false premise.

What??? We literally saw democracy play out. You can't even use the excuse that he lost the popular vote, he won every type of democratic way we have.
You know what wasn't democracy? Installing candidates into primaries over democratically popular candidates. Hillary in 2016, Biden in 2020 and Kamala in 2024. In every single one of these primaries, they did everything they could to shut down anyone popular who showed any sign of having a backbone, even though they killed democracy as it happened.
What we saw was a backlash to a stifling of democracy. Democracy won last night.
Trump has threatened to end democracy in the US. So yesterday may end up being the last time anyone in the US gets to vote.
I wouldn't call that a win for democracy.

this is what a terminal case of neoliberalism looks like, kids
If we had a more representative electoral system, more of the non voters would be engaged by the political process. More voters always has lead to more democratic votes.
Why is the democratic party saying no to these easy extra votes when they fail to replace First Past the Post voting in states they control between elections?
"We won it last time! Why change now? Besides, proportion representation only leads to more parties and that'd mean we'd have to... cooperate."
