I feel for the folks who had the good sense to vote anything but a demented fascist convict pedo Republican billionaire into office. But as a society, I have very little sympathy for America.
I have no sympathy and I live here. But, it hurts all of us. Our voting system is so broken and rigged. We allow legal bribery in the form of campaign finance, we only truly allow two parties to be in power, we quibble over the meaningless shit, and nobody pays attention between elections enough to make informed decisions.
Trump did heaps of terrible shit before and during his first presidency. The algorithmic internet and the laziness of mainstream media to report social media trends as news, instead of doing real journalism, are basically why we’re here.
The only positive thing to come out of the Trump presidency is that he’s fully shown a light on just how broken our system is.
From all of mass media being captured propaganda pieces, to the checks and balances basically meaning nothing if a few of the people at the top are corrupt. To our justice system that’s basically just partisan hacks that would rather prosecute you for a parking ticket than a pedophile rapist.
I’m pretty sure they mean we don’t deserve the sympathy. If you take into account their whole comment, it seems like they are saying sympathy is undeserved because people knew what they were getting.
Americans have shown the world for a year straight that they don’t care about anyone but themselves, now that it concerns Americans the world is supposed to care?
Why did you comment twice? I already explained that the person you responded to is not asking anyone to care. They are agreeing that Americans knew what they were doing.
You are blaming the victim. Democrats are not the problem here, the Republicans are 100% the problem, just because a democrat minority failed to save affordable healthcare doesn’t make them the problem.
I’m blaming the whole system, the dems are not the victims when they accept donations from the same corporations as republicans, and obey their donors.
they are corrupt. at best they are the “lesser evil”, bit their political ratchet is complicit in this.
Always go with the lesser evil. Then try to make change to make things better.
Change is easier within the democratic party than within the Republican. You have to be an idiot to not see that.
We don’t elect out leaders, we elect our opposition. it is better to have dems as opposition than republicans, but they suck, in a different less dangerous way, but they absolutely suck as well and are also responsible for what is happening.
I real’y don’t blame them. Here in Canada we have more than two options but constantly throw our progressive one under the bus to vote “strategically”. Now our “centrists” are conservatives that are selling off our resources to private companies and our progressives are weaker than they have been in a long time.
Centrists have one weapon, and it’s not their policies. It’s the fear the fear of the further right wing party. Look at how they fought Mamdani despite him handing them a win, they do not give a shit about anything except making sure that people are too afraid to vote properly. The US is a shit hole with or without the DNC and they only care about votes so it’s time to take those votes away from them.
I think conservatives are stupid, hateful thugs but centrists are a kind of slimy evil that I just refuse to get behind. I know that I’ve had a positive affect on some conservatives because many are dumb as rocks while believing they’re doing good, but centrists I know are often two-faced liars who want to look good on the surface while still doing or allowing all the same crap conservative leaders do.

They voted themselves into their own misery.

Fuck this country.
We don’t really deserve it. Trump’s first term could arguably be excused - maybe he wasn’t going to be as awful as people said.
The second and third time we knew exactly what we were asking for. There’s really no benefit of the doubt to give on time 2 and 3.

you expect sympathy after showing none. that is my point.
They are not expecting sympathy though.
Someone said “I have very little sympathy for America” and they replied that we don’t deserve it. They agreed.
your people will defend him and the ones that don’t agree will stay silent. yes you deserve it.
I meant we don’t deserve the sympathy, not that we don’t deserve the misery. I could have phrased that better.
I am not and have not been silent, and I refuse to be so.

At least 75% of them are in red states. I hope the majority of this falls on Trump supporters.
Anyone who didn’t vote democrat is part of the problem.
let’s not forget that the dems are also the problem, they are the ones who agreed to sacrifice healthcare to open the government with no concessions.
You’re right; enough about fascists. I’d rather lazer focus solely on the problems with the one and only other electable party in the country!
the only hope for this country is to fix the dems, primary all their BS neoliberal grifters, stop them from getting corporate bribes…
pretending the Dems are perfect is useless.

They are not responsible for Trump, claiming that is simply delusional.
they are responsible for doing zero opposition and basically doing nothing but performative acts.
while fighting the progressives in the party.
they aren’t allies, they are just the lest shite neoliberals

And what about the Democratic leadership that gave it all away by not fighting and capitulating without securing anything?
Voting for spineless, centrist Democrats is also part of the problem
You are blaming the victim. Democrats are not the problem here, the Republicans are 100% the problem, just because a democrat minority failed to save affordable healthcare doesn’t make them the problem.
Don’t forget those who thought it a good idea to allow the orange fuck into office.
Better than voting for an active genocidaire.
