America is not full of progressives.

No it is not and I'll toss another example on there -

Gay marriage was only legalized nation wide by a bunch of unelected judges, and the second most-recent Democratic president "evolved" on the issue less than a decade ago.

US postures as the world's defender of LGBT rights when it's "bringing democracy" places, but it's not great at doing that internally.

People who rent got hit twice as hard by inflation, I know I'm paying a significantly higher portion of my paycheck in rent vs 4 years ago.

The raw material cost increases which provide the cover/excuse for price gouging are the result of two different things the Harris/Biden admin participated in and had no real path towards solving.

One is the fact that the vast majority of ocean shipping is going around Africa rather than the red sea, due to the ongoing genocide in Gaza that the Biden admin has been bypassing Congress to continue arming.

Two is the cutting off of Russian oil, which resulted in ballooning costs in Europe.

Like it or not, Harris did not provide any answers on these two fronts that looked anything like a change in policy.

Did not take long for these guys to pivot to the right

I think we can safely say trans people would have been safer under the Dems.

Unless they're Palestinian, in which case it's open season.

You helped get trump elected, even if indirectly. Third party voters are essentially what allowed him to win.

If you added every third party vote to Democrats in swing states they would still have lost by a large margin. Democrats were the ones who let the COVID-era mail in voting end because they were so hard for ending COVID money to people. Seems like a self-own.

You chose Trump

I already said I voted for a non-genocidal candidate (PSL). My vote had no impact on the election and America is not really a democracy anyway.

Yeah, they didn't even have a real primary and just at the end inserted the lady who got less electors than Andrew Yang in her home state. It just looked like politicians clinging to power rather than allowing any hint of democracy in the so-called democratic party.

non-electoral organizing, at about that fraction of my week

Democrats really have been trying to peddle a final solution on a slightly longer timeline as the absolute limit of harm reduction while refusing to withhold ammunition from the occupation.

Destroying this system is the only sane response.

I would recommend IRL organizing with people in your immediate surroundings beyond just federal electoral things every few years. On the order of 8-10 hours a week.

vibes, got it
