The elections are 2 years away…
So utterly tired of this “you can’t complain when it’s close to the election ” nonsense. There’s never a good time with you lot is there? How convenient.
Aren't there midterms or such this year? The presidential election is 2.5 years away
Yes, there is but that won’t remove or stop Trump.
When are people allowed to complain? Can’t do it at the presidential elections, can’t do it at the midterms. Guess every leftist should stop taking and simply vote blue no matter who, who cares if the Overton window has only ever shifted to Nazism from doing so.
How about WHEN THEY'RE ACTUALLY IN POWER?
The Overton window there is so far to the right it's missing 2 panels. Bring back 4 panels first.
But more importantly, it's better to build up good candidates or compare them to bad candidates rather than only be negative to the primary opposition of "worse". As others pointed out here, Republicans were the ones that sent thug stooges there, and the Biden administration at least upheld the protesters demands eventually and actually intervened in a positive way.
Trump would have probably just shot them and ignore court orders - you know, as ICE is currently doing?
Right now you're about as effective as complaining about what the centrists are doing as Hitler and the Nazis start a war.
So when they’ve already won we can talk about them not winning. Impeccable logic.
In this point and time specifically, YES!
Fucking damn, again it's like talking about making Germany Leftist while Hitler already fucking got promoted. You deal with That first. "Enemy of my enemy is my friend".
Either that, or you go the more direct route to solving the worst problems, like a certain German bunker did, not posting stupid memes.
This middle of the road option is stupid right now.
The solution for Hitler wasn’t voting, it was war and killing Hitler.
If you stop pushing voting you can start pushing for the real action needed.
