Minor correction: the US has no left wing. Just far right and center right.

Learn civics and engage politically at the local level.

Both Trump and Elon have body counts. Trump killed thousands upon thousands. Elon has killed dozens at least. Which has nothing to do with both of them slurping Putin's talking point alphabet soup down.

Never trust the American populace to be anything but moronic. We are brainwashed by right wing fuckery that we can't fathom anything beyond "I don't like this, I'll vote for the other" when the other is worse beyond compare. We don't care. We don't understand. We don't care to understand.

They never did in the US. The Senate and EC both block this.

Republicans out number Democrats. It'd be interesting to see if they could get 50+1 in an election year with both Manchin and Sinema eager to tank anything good or decent.

Well, yes. Redditors and Lemmy users are the same people.

They are the ones who vote. They don't need a majority. They need a majority of voters. They seem to have it. I think we're learning that we have the country that we want more and more everyday. We don't want better, we want this.

We evolved in an environment without heating, plumbing, electricity, and modern medicine. Are you suggesting that we get rid of all that too or just manufactured meat?

What you're arguing for is, essentially, enlightened centrism. An enlightened centrist will view one side wanting to kill 1000 people and another side wanting to kill 0 people and say we need to meet somewhere in the middle. You can see how that's actually not good, I trust.

Of course, some of those things are already there in non-USA countries. The US just needs to join the rest of the civilized world.

How can that be? The United States is the only civilized country in the world. Everywhere else is a dirty socialist hellhole. /s

Props, comrade.
