What is sad is that the US political establishment are still pushing the Democrats as an alternative and Americans are too fucking stupid to do anything about it and self police even on alternative platforms like Lemmy
No...what's actually sad, is that even when there are better alternatives, leftists don't bother showing up to vote. That's how we got here. Whenever there's a chance for us to pull things back to the left...half of us just sit down and whine about how pointless it is to pull.
Name the better alternative
Well, there was Bernie Sanders in 2020. But like I said...no one bothered to show up and vote...so we got Biden. And then we got Trump again. Every time there's a chance to pull things left, we drop the rope.
Which leftist alternative did you show up to vote for?
