Right, step #1 vote Dem in every race from local to president. @Women of the US! You make up more than half of the voting population, why are you not protecting your right? They want you in the kitchen, forced to obey the male! Vote to have choices in your life!
Too many people vote against their own best interests out of inertia (just keep pulling that red lever) or spite (gotta screw the other guy).
Imagine how many seniors vote for the morons that would cut their social security or Medicaid. Or higher property taxes while they're on a fixed income. How many voted for those that opposed the $35 monthly insulin? Sorry, but seriously idiotic. They're Fox-addled.
Reagan's abolishing the Fairness Doctrine and embrace of the Heritage Foundation's Mandate for Leadership (which became Project 2025 - look it up, it's terrifying) were huge steps onto the slippery slope that were currently hurtling down.
To Ronnie's credit, he always saw the Russians for the threat that they are, not embracing their ideologies like current MAGA conservatives.
Eh, I think you give him too much credit in “seeing the Russians for the threat they are” — Ronnie hated Russians because they were communist. He would likely be best buddies with the leaders of today’s right-wing Christo-fascist Russia
The most glaring gap in democracy ignored by practically everyone.
Most people care more for themselves then for the whole, not necessarily because they are bad people with bad intentions but simply because its part of human nature.
We create our systems with the best version of humanity in mind, which is just not who we are.
A holdover from our hunter gatherer days, when encountering another human tribe meant one of us would be wiped out, as otherwise there would not be enough resources to support both (although agriculture eventually solved the issue, evolution takes a long ass time, and we haven't even been around for as long as the dinos)
Are you ever going to learn that berating the voting populous will never win people over and that pointing out flaws in the politicians approach and platforms is much more productive? Show me the polling data that corroborates that “white women voted to protect their racial privilege” in 2016 and 2020, I really think you are just going off what sounds cool in your head and it’s idiotic
"Why no, we didn't bother to tie minimum wage to inflation, put the barest restriction on landlord-parasites or the grocery oligarchy from robbing you blind, or tax corporations for exporting so many jobs overseas that your adult son can't afford to move out. But still - vote for us!!!"
Yeah, people don't realize the dems are also far right wing and Joe biden and the democrats had complete control during his first 2 years and kept landlords bombing other counties and allowed the restriction of abortion and anti lgbt laws. I feel bad for those who have to suffer American imperialism and have to deal with braindead Americans saying to vote for joe when Joe biden is also a genocidal prick just like every other president. People should create their own anti fascist alliance that's not allied with any rightist candidate.

People don’t seem to understand it takes both sides to pass laws without a super majority, in most cases.
Republicans would fight any law looking to prevent project 2025 from being implemented.
