Are you denying that if people had voted for the democrats just a few percent more this year project 2025 would not have been stopped, as trump likely would be dead when it came time for the next event?

we can’t know the alternative timeline where the democrats would have won; but if their past behaviour is any indication they would have acted over confident and let the republicans walk all over them as before

what we can do is look at the present and easily see that the fascist grab of power is basically complete and there is zero chance they will give up power (last time they literally led an insurrection to avoid giving up power)

Of course the DNC could do more. The question is could you, the people, do any less to secure your democracy.

I’m canadian but your are making my point, Americans are too gaslit, selfish and uninformed to even vote rationaly

I don’t get how people act like there should just be this sudden moment where once and for all fascists will disappear. It will and has always been a continuous fight.

do you think the magas would be this enboldened if any republican had been accountable?

I’m not saying democracy does not work, I’m saying the Democrats will not fix this problem

no, I’m referring about stopping fascism and protecting democracy and the rule of law

all else is secondary is everything is destroyed every other turn

The practical buckleys tagline solution you all hate but is the only one that works is supporting the fuck out of the democrats

where is the evidence that this “works”?

were the democrats not in charge after the first trump term an utterly failed to do anything? and I don’t mean they tried but failed, they didn’t even triy

same as Obama, he could/should have prosecuted Bush for any of the many war crimes but instead immediately let them all of the hook with the “let bygones be bygones” crap

I absolutely agree a civil war would be awful but I think you are waaaaaay past fixing this by voting… much less voting for the same party that has shown to love the status quo so much

Now is the time to build the progressive party as a big tent

is this the Democrats or a new party you are proposing?

wow you really don’t know? SCOTUS already ruled your president is king, they literally said it was ok for POTUS to kill political enemies without any due process (that was an example presented)

ok so I send my military to kill you and now it’s up to whomever to prove I did wrong… great deal for me

Even a minority conservative government with a strong NDP

Surely you jest… not only your “better” alternative is entirely hypothetical, and impossible for the electorate to target… but giving power to the maple magas would be suicide and never ever conductive to compromise of any kind

Just look south and you can see the playbook the cons here would apply (they have adopted it all). PP would starve the most vulnerable Canadians to force a vote on making it illegal to say the word “trans”

Carney is a heartless bastard and we do need to fight this budget but to pretend flirting with maple maga is a better alternative is laughable

It pains me to give trump the benifit of doubt greatly

then don’t?

but I’d love to see some solid evidence of it not being drug smugglers

it’s pretty hard to get evidence from an exploded small boat, sunk in the ocean… not counting that proving negatives is fairly hard (which is why that’s not how evidence works)… how do you “prove” to me you are not a drug smuggler?

this budget is just trickle down economics with a tik tok music background

No more private planes tax, no more capital gains tax… middle and lower class Canadians to foot the bill for this “investment”

This is trickle down economics with a tik tok song in the background

Count me in as the fifth

LOL so this happens so often it’s a running joke now but my son told me this story yesterday (first time it happened to him but knows about it from me) and I almost got teary eyed hahahaha

The problem was created by Provinces cutting funds to universities and education in general… Universities made up the shortfall by using International Students which was a Federally enabled escape valve.

This has been the game of mostly conservative Provincial Premiers; cut everything and blame it on the Feds.

I do feel for some of the legit universities but from what I see, the vast majority of the money milked from International Students did not go to improve the level of education (barely has moved in the last few years) and mostly went to “Mall universities” which are borderline a scam, all stamped and approved by the Provincial gov.

However, I am still dumbfounded on how 42% voted for the other guy. He is literally a sexual assaulter and he was endorsed by Trump and Elon Musk! How is it that so many people still voted for him?

because too many Americans still think “wE aRE NoT thEre YEt!”

War is basically inevitable at this point

Whatever your stance on the Pedophile Felon President, basically all of his policies are inevitable going to destroy the economy of the USA. Once that happens, the only option would be to use force internally to control the people and internationally to literally steal what they need to stay afloat

The people of the USA are still deluding themselves that their military will be loyal to the people because they didn’t march super well for the Rapist in Chief that day… ignoring the military has followed every single idiotic order to date without as much as a follow up question

Well the confusion is understandable since they are both the same level of “classy”

oh no how horrible, the pedophile is punished by living in a different luxury castle

and at least some of his food is frozen, pre prep, garbage anyway… Ramsey was the real deal and just turned into another grifter

ah too bad… I got one for me and one for my wife earlier this year, we liked them… but these would be our last based on this crap
