Isn't voting a way to participate? Is there a way to semi-lock the community instead so random drifters don't come in a vote bomb?

Well I've raised it in other threads that people who expect violent conflict should prepare by familiarizing themselves with firearms, buying them, and training survival skills. But people are afraid. The idea was argued into the ground.

People don't want to believe, or those that do, don't think they cant do anything. I'd like to believe that there's enough checks and balances to deal with any attempts of demolishing democracy. I have a hard time believing that generals, or even troops in general would turn their guns inward. They signed up to defend democracy and freedom on behalf of their countrymen. Not destroy it and kill them.

But at the same time, I just don't know. Most are too lazy and complacent to try and organize. When I've tried people shrug. The people think they want what Trump is selling.

Either way, I'd say prepare yourself. That way, if things do organize, you're ready. I've been ready just for fun, not for anti-fascism purposes. I like hunting and living off the land when I can. Turns out they're useful skills in situations that may unfold. We shall see.

Neo-liberals will blame literally anyone but themselves. Biden should have fucked off earlier, maybe, but that was a tiny part of a much bigger problem with that party.

Your borderline illiteracy makes me wonder if you're actually in school or just some basement dwelling bottom feeder trying to understand how anything outside of your dumpster impacts anything.

I'm sure you have buddy. Keep telling yourself that.

Then do something. Get off your keyboard and do something. Prove me wrong. Please, I want you to. But you won't.

I agree. Would help if the party didn't accept corporate money, like the Sander campaign before the DNC fucked him over.

This is a take I actually agree with you on. Complacency is this country's biggest flaw and why shit has cranked so hard to the right. But people need leaders with plans and social skills. In the same breath of saying inaction is deadly, so is unorganized action. That's how movements die. Remember occupy Wall Street? Favorite example.

Removing yourself from the nation? So your idea is to just remove what blue voters are left? Also do you have sources to back up your claims about economic power? California is a massive powerhouse but many other blue states just aren't. Like Oregon.

Cool bro what a sound plan. I bet you feel important. If you want to actually try and implement change you need to either organize with a plan, leadership and support. Or you need to link up with orgs that exist. This kind of keyboard warrior justice is unbelievably irritating to see.
