Democratic politicians supported the proliferation of law enforcement, on public transportation, in schools, even inside homes, a move that has only served to increase the number of people killed by police. Democratic policies are what first empowered the police to become a violent force against the left and in deference to Trump. What Trump understands is that the glory, power, and social currency of the police serve as the backbone for authoritarianism in the United States. It is a militaristic, hyper masculine system which is impervious to change and maddeningly difficult to monitor.

        Dude, I held my nose and voted blue no matter who, they didn’t uphold their end of the deal by actually putting forward policy ideas that might help people so here we are.

        Most democratic voters I know don’t actually like the democratic party, they just hate Republicans more.

        1%, 49%, its still a loss either way. You trying to feel smug about that? I guess you voted for genocide and STILL lost? How do you feel? And remember, this is for posterity so… be honest.

        Jill Stein is pretty cool though. I wouldn’t vote for her, but I think she has some great points to make. It’ll be interesting what the Green Party does now.

          No, she isn’t. She’s just another Putin puppet to help the far-Right.

          Not really. They’re going to dump all resources into unwinnable national races where they can act as spoilers in FPTP elections while ignoring local elections and anywhere else where they could be effective in achieving their claimed goals. You know, like they have for decades.
