The electorate is fickle, spoiled, and decadent. They will throw the American experiment into a wood chipper for almost nothing, economic down turns or just vibes. Fixing that is a long term problem, that we can’t rely on to gain political power and stop the bleeding in the immediate future.

The whole problem this election demonstrated is that the electorate is fickle, spoiled, and uncommitted to liberalism and democracy. Fixing that is a much longer term problem than gaining political power in the immediate future. It’s not fair or just, it’s just politics.

134 million people voted for Trump or didn’t bother to show up and vote against him. Those people that didn’t vote aren’t out in the streets protesting, and if they ever are it will only be on account of the economy not because they’ve suddenly become principally opposed to authoritarianism.

134 million American’s voted for Trump or didn’t bother to show up and vote against him. Counting the non voters c democrats and people who care about liberalism are 100% in the minority. When the public eventually turns on Trump it will be over the economy, not democracy/liberalism.

In a perfect world, everyone who voted for Trump after J6 would suffer some kind of punishment, but that’s “half” the country and not how democracy works. Guilty politicians, media, corporations/institutions who collaborated, lawyers, civil servants, servicemen, is about all you can hope for.

What are you talking about? The structural advantages of Republican’s like the cap on the house and the electoral college? We missed our chance to do reconstruction right, so I think the best we can hope for his a ruthless campaign of accountability against leaders, not voters.

I bet you he’s not even going to test the limits of his position the same way Trump would if he were mayor.

They are both populists, yes, but the negative traits they share are not to the same degree whatsoever. Mamdani will not behave or govern anything like Trump. You speaking this hyperbolically gives all Mamdani skeptics a bad name.

This is objectively and morally correct but bc we need to win elections we’ll have to lie to them, tell them they’re not bad people and that they’re welcome in the Democratic Party 🙄

These people somehow never face any backlash for being 100% wrong about their super bold claims.

I don’t even like him, but he is nowhere near Trump, come on. And obviously I’m still hoping he does a great job.

Blue sky is a bubble. It is not mainstream, and we should bully anyone who spreads it until it’s even more fringe.

Don’t defend the fraud, we should all be upset about it. Condemn it strongly and then ask them why they don’t care about Trump’s fraud and corruption. Him, his family, and his allies. Use your principled stance to attack their lack of principle.

We definitely need to “vote harder next time” in addition to any other legal and peaceful means of resistance and reconstruction. The alternative is post political and violent.

That seems pretty promising. I read one of the preliminary reports there but I’d definitely be interested in seeing the results a full study since it seems like it’s having such a positive impact. Anything they can do to continue improving it or make it more easily adoptable could help elsewhere.

Anybody have an article or video that goes into detail on what policies actually supported this change, or are there other factors involved?
