I dunno, there were about 1000 people at that town hall and the crowd was overwhelmingly on the same page on issues such as the cost of fascism and stripping Medicare from working class people Maybe there were some republicans in that room, but I have no faith in them to join the chants
Oh yeah it's happen in ever republican meeting thats why republicans were told to stop them because their own voters are ready to rip them to shreads
I’d be happy if that were true; just haven’t seen evidence. And I doubt people were asked to show their party affiliation at the door, so there probably is no evidence. But 2026 will hinge on R voters either voting D or more likely just not voting.
If I was a moral-less R politician, I would get all you folks arguing and distracted about all this current stuff and we'd just rig the swing states again. The voting software has not been changed since Nov 24. Shit was proven on paper, and has a court date. People need to face this.
We all are aware. But the reason they could do it was because the race was a statistical dead heat. If Harris had been +15 going in, they would not have pulled it off. There need to be numbers that beat the rigging…
The DOJ/FBI is not going to come in and make things fair. The 81 million who didn’t bother voting need to get off their asses this time.
Agreed. Then we are back to where we were with Biden: billionaires pay little to no taxes, middle class pays over 25% of their income straight off the top. No consumer protection laws, no laws regarding hedge funds buying single family residences, billion$ flowing to Israel, ICE raids....yipee.
What I'm getting at Blase is that it's either Revolution 2.0 or we will be right back at this horrible low or worse within a generation. Our system is terminal, it should not exist in 2025. It hurts the citizens that give the highest %, and welfare for the corporations. Not sustainable, not at all.
Well given how lazy and stupid Americans are on average we’re not seeing a revolution
That's how the Crown felt in the late 1700s
Well what was wrong then is most certainly correct today
If people who had the right to vote had voted, there might not need to be a revolution. I am especially appalled at the under-30s who turned out in low proportion and are now sitting idle while Trump crushes their future. If they don't bother voting, are they really going to take to the streets? 1/
And, of course, that voting could get them candidates they want - not the old guard. Mamdani is exciting, but remember the NYC primary turnout was a miserable 23%, this with a criminal who did a deal with Trump to avoid prosecution (Adams) is a candidate. If the younger voters decide to 2/
post Tiktoks about how cool Mamdani is, but don't actually go to the polls and vote, Mamdani could actually lose. Lots of Magas in Queens and Staten Island. This is how democracy dies. 3/
Then we need an opposition candidate that people can be excited to vote for rather than being begrudgingly forced into voting for them
My proof on that front is that the people in that crowd were talking about the price of a fascist government as a bad thing, and Republican voters hold neutral to positive views of fascism
But if I follow your logic, wouldn’t that suggest those folks are D’s?
Yes, that is my logic. Their political allegiance is implied by their choice of words
