Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Like they have since FDR, amirite? 🤮
LBJ, problematic antics aside (and not excusing his foreign policy either) was a continuation of FDR domestically. An expansion even. Because while FDR abandoned minorities to keep support for his New Deal, LBJ made sure minorities also benefited from the Great Society at great political expense. Modern Dems though are just Reagan lite.
Modern Dems are right of Reagan.
And yet half of American voters vote even further right.
And?
And representatives are supposed to represent the constituents. Moreover, they can't get elected if they don't. People calling for the Dems for be more progressive don't seem to realize that that's moving away from where the votes are. There aren't enough votes on the left to be worth courting because (and here's the crux of the issue) the left has this purity test so candidates can't get their support unless they are impracticality progressive. Moving left does not get them votes unless they move so far left that they lose many many more votes. The left's failure to appreciate 'better' means the US is stuck with continued slide to the right.
That's a lie. No one wants more Nazis but Nazis.
Well I'd like to think so too. But ~50% of voters vote for MAGA regardless. Or the equivalent: they don't vote for the only possible less fascist option.
Bye naz
