Im tired of the purely performative nonsense in modern democratic party as well. For the resources and votes that go their way they always find a way to deliver nothing, or actively betray us all. Supporting far rightwing genocide, pissing on progressives and progressive causes, and utterly ignoring the working class in the last ~10 elections (since Carter) are prime examples of this.

Time to toss the traitors out the door and clean this party out.

I’m tired of the future being destroyed by capitalists/christian nationalists. That’s been happening for hundreds and thousands of years, every time they gain power, no matter where or when. Republicans are relatively new to this game.

I’m also tired of society having to relearn this lesson at great loss of life and suffering, over and over.

We’re smarter than this, and we far outnumber them.

Not just Republicans, conservatives in general. All Republicans are conservative, but many Democrats are as well. That needs to change.

Mamdani shows it’s possible to start the purge of the DNC. We need to continue that. Primary every last conservative. Drive them from the DNC, drive them from politics, drive them from political discourse and public life. Authoritarianism must be crushed, Constitutional rights must be restored, and common sense policies for real people must be enacted. If we can’t achieve that, then all is lost and totalitarian neofeudalism will prevail.

You are correct! I tend to use the two interchangeably when I know that conservatives pushes out to a larger group.

And frankly, anyone who acts like this was just another election where one side lost is only slightly higher on the totem pole than conservatives are.

Just worth saying again for the tankies that are very passionate, but seemingly not enough to vote or organize material change. As disappointing as the dems maybe they are still the home of the little progressive wing we have, and we should work into growing it.

I'm tired of this country sucking all the fucking life out of me.

My grandpa killed Nazis so his son could become a Nazi

Title to a future song of a generation, right here.

I'm tired of the future being destroyed by billionaires.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Who just so happen to wholeheartedly support the Republican agenda in the US, with the exception of Gates.

You don’t make billions by supporting fair wages, labor unions, health and safety regulations, affordable and accessible healthcare, social programs, socialized infrastructure, and higher taxes on the wealthy.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 days ago (4 children)

To be fair, there are plenty of billionaires backing the dems too, they're just a bit more subtle about their intentions, but they are not pioneers of the working class.

Of course the dems getting in in 2024 mightve slowed the roll of fascism, but it would've just delayed it rather than solved any of the underlying issues. With the exception of some truly progressive members of the party, the dems are basically just there to uphold the status quo.

Billionaires bankroll both parties, what are you talking about

Raise your hand if you're tired of Americans playing the victims while doing nothing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Raised, but I feel like one of them. There’s so little I feel like I can do. I was going to go to a protest but wound up taking a group of scouts to the Indian Museum. Felt like a much better, and more impactful use of my time, and it was magical watching those kids hang on the words of our tour guide, as she told us the story of how they won their land rights.

But that’s the long game, and I am terrified that the short term battles are not being fought.

So many of my friends have just given up, waiting for the next election to fix it. I don’t have any faith that will work though.

I'm tired of both Democrats and Republicans destroying the future, and people pretending Democrats don't because they do it slightly less

I'm tired of rich and/or petty people controlling us. We're better than this.

I'm not even American and... Yes

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 days ago (13 children)

You can blame only Republicans which even if they disappeared wouldn't solve the issue, or you can acknowledge that both parties are corrupted by oligarchs and PACS

Apparently a lot of people don't mind being oppressed as long as the oppressors have decorum

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago (4 children)

While I agree with your premise, its very disingenuous to imply a lot of issues wouldnt be solved/improved if Republicans blinked out of existence like a Thanos Snap.

I just want free public transit, affordable housing//rent/food/bills and some free time to actually enjoy being alive, is that too much to ask?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago

Republicans: Yes, you entitled whiny millenial. Also, no one wants to work. Also you are probably a groomer.

My optimism for the future is dead at this point. Even if we miraculously have a collective pivot into sustainable practices tomorrow, this train ain't stopping in my lifetime. Maybe it'll be better for future generations, I sincerely hope it is and I'll keep doing what I can to ensure that. But my future is doomed to dealing with the mess that unchecked greed and exploitation has wreaked upon our world.

Unbelievable that there are some Americans in politics who wake up every day and consciously decide they want to destroy everything around them.

Unbelievable that there are some Americans in politics who wake up every day and consciously decide they want to put their foot on someone else's neck so that they can feel superior, even if it means they are worse off.

How about tired of the uni-party system! We need real change, politicians who care about the workers, not corporations and their oligarchs.

I would change Republicans to 'selfish and narrow-minded individuals'
