Now that Harris lost, it seems like people are agreeing with you.

These are technical terms. There's legal protest, then civil disobedience---this is how we ended Jim Crow; a lot of people had to go to jail to fight the system---and then there's domestic terrorism. If you don't think civil disobedience is going far enough, then you're advocating for terrorism.

I'm tired of "being the bigger person". Four years ago, Trump wouldn't even admit that he lost the election. They're hitting below the belt, and we have one hand behind our back.

This is why I agree with Republicans on guns rights. They won't give up their guns so fuck it, give me one too.

The word you're looking for is: civil disobedience. Break laws, get attention. Our grandparents did the same thing during Vietnam.

I thought Roe v Wade would move the needle but apparently immigration is more important

Maybe you could say this if the election was close. But the Gaza-Isreal voters are a drop in the bucket.

The only reason there was not enough time was because Biden took his time abdicating. We had more than enough time for primaries had Biden stepped down earlier.

White women, latino men, etc. It's just sad to see.

In reality it's both the campaign and the voters. But it's easier to just blame voters. Lemmy/Reddit will down vote anything that goes against that narrative: but as we just saw, Internet echo chambers do not determine reality.

Literally any criticism of the Democratic party. Like how Biden dragged his feet on withdrawing and then we "didn't have time" for a primary.

Or criticism of foreign policy. Afghanistan was a cluster fuck and it seems both parties support Israel no matter what.

Letting the electorate focus on border security instead of protecting women's rights was another obvious blunder, but no one expected Abbott to bus migrants to liberal cities. Republicans are really good at making immigration an issue.

Though I'm not sure this holds true for dyslexics.

edit: Apparently it's more complicated than the example claims.
