I get we have to do this, but I'm sick and tired of playing defense. Be nice if there was a Democrat or Liberal plan to rally behind when we have the majority. Something relatively comprehensive so we don't end up relying on single issue voters.
In the actions page it lists three:
Tell your senators to confirm more judges - really? I need to tell them to do an obvious part of their job? Either they’re blue and they’re already doing that or they’re red and there’s no convincing them to go against their interests.
Take the pledge to vote against maga republicans - if you’re reading this site you already did that with negative effing results.
Regulate the use of AI in elections - weird choice of priorities but ok.
This masquerades as action but I don’t see any REAL action. We need to organize, plan, and execute real actions. Crash their parties, protest in front of offending politicians’ houses, 24/7 broadcasted surveillance of key offenders to apply real pressure to these wackos(if that’s legal, IANAL). If we keep doing what we’ve been doing we’ll keep getting the same results. We need to be large and loud and force our voices to be heard. We need our own news broadcasts calling them on their crap.
Yeah I don't think anything will change until disruptive protests happen. Like, republicans resigning from office because they're afraid.
Unfortunately, the far-right has almost all the money and guns, and a lot of bootlickers. And no one wants to throw their life away by shooting some red hats senators or billionaires.
Why work on resisting the popular majority in the democratic-ish country?
Should be underground railroadings women and queers out of America.
The foundation of democracy is the constitution and universal human rights, not the election result. Even if you'd get 99% of the votes in a democracy, you must be held accountable to the law, and that is not limited to, but includes the protection of minorities.
What? If you have money most laws don't apply to you in the country already.
The hard nationalist name is a great giveaway
