“Most every campaign cycle, it seems, presidential candidates and political pundits claim this election is the most important one ever. It’s become something of a cliché in American politics. This time, however, they just might be correct.” - from 2012
I’ve been able to vote since Reagan, every election since has always been the most important election of our lifetime and it’s always been from the direct result of the people claiming its the important election of our lifetime. Democrats will always have a boogeyman to point fingers at that they’re coming to take away your rights. And Republicans will always have a boogeyman to point fingers at that they’re coming to take their rights. They collectively are coming to take away our rights and they have us fighting their battles to keep them in power so they can continue taking away our rights.
Sure but I don’t think we’ve ever had a candidate with so many former hand picked aids warn us about the end of democracy if he’s reelected.
Midterms are going to be the most important election of our lifetime, 2028 is going to be the most important election of our lifetime. Democrats will forever offer a boogeyman to scare you into keeping them in power.
And to keep you from demanding better from them.
I don’t know if we should be assuming those elections will even happen. If Trump wins, then I guess we won’t need to worry about “important elections” ever again. Or any elections for that matter.
Have Dems taken your rights to anything away? They’ve expanded rights for same sex couples and healthcare. Under Republicans my rights constantly get reduced. Abortion is the most recent example.
Also, every election is important because the shitty people who want to screw everyone over never take an election cycle off. Sorry if showing up once every two years is too much to ask.
They’re an ML, don’t bother.
User tagging has become invaluable these last few months.
Once SCOTUS overturns Obergefell our marriages will become the purview of the states again. Interracial marriages will become purview of the states. If a single court clerk does not want to issue a same sex or interracial marriage because it goes against their beliefs, the Respect for Marriage Act allows them to do so. Your loss of women’s reproductive rights was made possible by Democrats promising for 50 years to do something about it and then doing nothing about it. Three of those conservatives SCOTUS justices that removed those rights were put in place by Democrats. Democrats have done nothing but betray the working class for decades.
And it’s always “but but the supreme court!” every 4 years. Like we need uphold this far-right de-facto legislative branch of government, and not threaten to kill it like FDR.
The only people that give the Supreme Court any power are those that say it has power. The Supreme Court are not enforcers.
Are you fucking dense? Are you willfully digging your head in your ass? Where the fuck have you been these last couple years? None of this shit is normal, and you smugly claim it’s not important. I guess project 2025 is nothing either, right?
FWIW, I previously tagged this person as pro fascism. So yes.
Mine says “bad faith, don’t waste time”. Interestingly, every user that has replied in support of that person has also been tagged something similar.
Hmmm.
Is tagging a native feature of lemmy? I’m using the sync app and it appears to be a paid feature
Says the person supporting actual fascists?
Knowing Democrats history of fully supporting legislation coming from the heritage foundation, it does not scare me. KOSA which was 100% bipartisan came from the heritage foundation. Got very little fanfare because it was bipartisan. Democrats will take individual components of project 2025. Rename it to something that sounds progressive. Liberals will get excited about it and they will praise it when it passes.
What horseshit are you even talking about? Show me sources on your claims. Otherwise, it’s just conspiracy theories with you and you can sit down and shut the fuck up. Accelerationist trash is what you are.
Fake ass communist.
93-3 vote on a fully bipartisan bill written by the Heritage Foundation
How KOSA harms, specifically the trans community
The Heritage Foundation boasts how any other one of their bills gets passed
If there’s been a bill that’s been bipartisan that fucks over the working class, it’s probably come from HF
How’s that incrementalism working out for you? Your entire party became the party of Cheney and Baby Bush because of it. The DNC has filled the void Reagan Republicans used to occupy.
Now you didn’t think incrementalism shifted left did you? Edit sp
constantly scared of the democrat’s boogeyman, every 4 years. must be exhausting
They’re downvoting because this time it’s the MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVER IN HISTORY, and it will remain so until 2028.
