American Democracy Might Not Survive a War With Iran

Is that really what it says?

Yeah this is the thing. Trump isn't where things went south, but he sure accelerated it. In a working democracy, he would have been laughed out of the room. But decades of neocon politics have deteriorated the American society so much in so many aspects that he got elected

'You mean my inaction at a time when I could have stopped the end of democracy actually ended democracy? Must be bidens fault somehow!' - dumbass American voters

Which is unfortunately quite poetic. Refusing to vote has ensured they will no longer be able to vote.

We all know that Harris had a path to victory and she didnt take it. I suppose its easier for you to demonize the voters who tried to pressure their party to do what we all know is the right thing than it is to pressure our leaders to run a competent and moral campaign.

So you're just lazy and unable to effect meaningful change, beyond shouting into a void on an anonymous forum, right. I imagine if we all just mute your complaints you'll kick your dog and blame it for the loss, so I guess we'll just wait for you to whine yourself out. I'm not in favor of dog kicking.

"Your choice is between Hitler 2.0 and our Corporately anointed puppet. Remember to exercise YOUR VOICE and vote!!"

What nonsense. People taking no action are no where near people choosing fascism, are you mad? And a choice between cartoon fascism that should clearly be opposed and festering corporate fascism is not a choice.

Not voting IS VOTING. What kind of mental gymnastics has the AI antagonist machine got you on? This non-voter talking point is EVERYWHERE, and people keep spreading it.

When a system is through in through corrupt the only moral action is to not participate in it.

Let me share something with you to give a small hint at what stage you're in with your "voting" and "government"

Who knows, maybe you'll even recognize it?!

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Not so fun fact: Even back then, a certain Clarence Thomas was involved in the Supreme Court decision that prevented a recount of votes in Florida (source), which would likely have resulted in Al Gore's election victory. And: Also even back then, this Supreme Justice was associated with a certain billionaire named Harlan Crow who supported him with various favors - he continues to do so to this day.

I mean, that was the shot across the bow, but there was a democratic way forward. When democrats completely folded and then he was reeelected 4 years later after making every wrong decision?

There hasn’t been a nonviolent way out of the US’s far-right problem in 20 years.
