The Democratic Party needs to go hard into socialized services or just pack up. Right now it looks complicit in the GOP coup d'etat.

The same, incidentally is true for the Labor party in UK, and for the other neoliberal parties all throughout Europe. Serve the people for realsies this time, or pack up as the Neville Chamberlain party.

The average USA voter has already given hitler the keys to the kingdom.

In 2016, the battleground state non-voter empowered the goose-steppers and crippled everyone's future.
In 2024, the average USA non-voter ignored every single alarm bell going full blast and destroyed any hope for that future.

And still the average USA non-voter sits, twiddling their thumbs, waiting to be catered to, to be dazzled. Waiting for their own version of a messiah with a magic political wand, too lazy, ignorant to the point of medieval, and impatient to even begin and try to understand the principle of inertia, how political will builds up over time and several election cycles.

The way the electorate abandoned Obama during the 2010 midterms and empowered the tea-baggers should have tipped me off about the utter mediocrity of all these precious flowers, "perform miracles overnight, even as you also try to keep the entire economy from collapsing, or go fuck yourself".

The right-wing propaganda trick is to get people to NOT do what they didn't want to do in the first place - homework is boring, voting is lame, amirite?

After a quarter of a century of having hope in the eventual decency of the USA electorate, the entire world has given up on them, as moscow and beijing salivate like hungry rats about to feast on a carcass. Now it's every man for himself.
The average non-voter must be very proud; must feel very special right about now. Congratulations.
