These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,… whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

I’m seeing a lot of “democracy is going to die” posts… But… I hate to break it to you:
America is not a democracy. And if somehow it is a democracy, then it’s an incredibly bad one. It’s the least democratic democracy in the Western world.
The two party system, the first past the post voting system, the indirect method of counting votes, lobbying, gerrymandering, the electoral collage. Systems to try and manipulate what a vote means. Systems that try to remove as much democracy from democracy as possible, while still being able to keep up some mock appearance.
Your whole country is fucked and backwards from the very beginning, and that wouldn’t be so bad. But if America does something we all have to suffer for it!
Everyone on Lemmy is like “Trump is back in office oh no it’s all gonna be over this is the end of America” when the entire west is the dictatorship of the Bilderberg Group and WEF, if you wanna vote you’re better off bribing them than showing up to a voting booth.
What’ll happen is another 4 years will pass, things will get a little worse like they did with every other president, and at the next election people will try to vote their way out of it again and not learn a thing. Bookmark this comment and come back to it if you don’t believe me
There will not be another election. We now live under a dictatorship.
He says that, I’m still hanging on that between now and that day something, anything could happen. Sure he won the vote, but I’ve yet to meet the person who would sit idly if he declares himself dictator.
I don’t think it was ever a true democracy, we’re just cycling back to the white male landowner as the only vote being counted as the norm. Another rally at MSG, all the racist rhetoric, all the dog whistles are just regular shouting now
