Don't count on it as the only way out, but also don't count it out entirely. Democracy has power.
Of course, for that to matter, there has to be overwhelming rejection of fascism in the population. Which... we're not seeing.
I don't know... I'm seeing a lot of anger. The oligarchs are censoring even most social media now... But even so, there's so much anger. At town halls, at sports events, there's constant protests going on somewhere... It's being minimized, but it's there
Polling makes me doubt that the anger is being directed at the actual causes.
If people bothered to vote for Harris then there would be no trump in office right now. Too many people aren't assed to vote
No surprise this is from a vegan website. These "parties" offer absolutely nothing for animal liberation. They're literally subsidizing the people profiting from breeding plagues. Not to mention the endless torture, murder, environmental destruction, health deterioration, etc.
In short vegans are among the most politically alienated populations alive. No politician represents animal liberation in any meaningful or effective way. Quite the opposite.
Doesn't help that I really enjoy eating meat and wouldn't vote on a vegan political party
Yeah, but a war is happening across the world, and it clashes with my world view. Plus, the system gave me only a sour apple and the literal devil to choose between. I think I'll sit it out.
Thanks for your service
