If you want to see why the US is already doomed, go watch a bunch of liberals fall all over themselves about how the upcoming US presidential election is going to be just fine, how there's no problem with Biden, really, how it's all just a made up media narrative and NO we don't need to do anything other than VOTE HARDER and if we lose it's YOUR FAULT.

Like, absolutely zero recognition of the underlying issues. Zero recognition that the country is rushing toward fascism and REAL PHYSICAL THREATS to marginalized people - And absolutely ZERO candidates have a _FUCKING PLAN TO COMBAT THAT_.
Also, zero recognition that the Democrats have utterly lost the youth vote, because they've consistently *shit* on the youth for daring to act in the interest of a better future, and they've utterly minimized the youth's horror at ongoing genocide. And they don't win without the youth vote.

If I hear one more heteronormative cisgendered white person treat this like a fucking baseball game instead of a legitimate threat to people's lives, I am going to FUCKING SCREAM.

Like, look - I'm sorry to go on and on about this, and spam your timelines.
But the fact remains that there's not even any MENTION from the democratic party about what's going to be done about an opposition that continues to break the rules, act in bad faith, and utterly block any attempt at progress. The democrats have had the power of the White House for Four Fucking Years at this point, and done *nothing* to combat the real and very visible threats that these asshole fascists have subjected us to.
How can they not understand how demoralizing that is? How can they not understand that we see their inaction and their petty attempts to cling to power and status, and not think that they're completely out of touch?
Don't get me wrong - This isn't an endorsement of their opponents in the least. But it is saying that the writing is on the wall, even now.
The fascists are going to win in November, and the Democrats will be shocked for about a day. Then they'll shrug, laugh it off, and say "Well, better luck in four years, right?" While people get rounded up into deportation camps (WHICH IS A DAY ONE PROMISE FROM THE GOP - NOT AN EXAGGERATION).

Remember when I said maybe this would teach them etc. etc...
NOPE. Shut down already.
Sorry, this is not my usual ray of hope answer, but my gruntles have also gone missing, hopefully they come back soon.
Hang in there. (I can make this a wish if you think it'll help ;p )

@ThatGenieProblem @Phorm Yeah, I will say that Biden refusing ANY notion of putting the country before his ego has reversed most of the optimism I was getting from the surprise wins in the UK and France. Their good guys won in both cases because of a strong alliance between far-left and center-left and... nope, we're gonna be Americans about this one. *smirk*
