Ah yes, elections will fix everything in the USA, just vote harder next time.

Just to make what I am saying as clear as I can without someone putting words in my mouth: The existing system is functioning as designed and as it has ALWAYS "worked" , and if the people of the world are going to have a chance to survive they need to destroy the current one, and replace it with one that cares about people and the planet, not just profits.

Well, we have plenty of people on Lemmy who place the blame for this situation on the Americans who didn't vote for Kamala Harris, as if they weighed the stakes, deliberated, and decided affirmatively that not voting was the correct action. It's like the people who believe that have never met actual humans. Denial and dissociation 'works' very well for us as a psychological defense mechanism.

Now, if we have any hope, we need people to work together to shut down the fascists. I'm just sayin' that this here is a much better way to put it to motivate them, while telling them that "it's always been this way" and "the U.S. is simply evil" is a great way to push people back into denial and dissociation.
