Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Are you trying to use that as a dunk because when you actually live under oppression from fascists you REALLY need your opposition party to be effective. Harris winning in 2024 was never going to solve a problem that she was part of, it was only going to delay the inevitable and I can promise you that all of the anti-trans legislation and the pro-genocide action still would have actually happened. Or are you as unwilling to listen to a person that belongs to a scapegoated community as your ancestors were?

Trump stacked the courts in 2016-2020 already, so that would have been the time to prevent that by voting Dems.

Now anti-trans sentiment is part of an executive order too, which could have been prevented by voting Dems.

How the fuck is “voting against fascism” not on your list of priorities?

And don't patronize me, I'm listening to my trans friends already thanks.

I'm a German anarchist

Dems are fascist, dumbass

Takes one to know one. Or you're disingenuous. Only the finest vintage dumbassery or a bad faith actor can honestly not see a difference in the trajectory voting out Trump in 2016 would have resulted in.

I'm just really feed up by your insanity of trying to erase boundaries between a party that wants to abolish elections and one that doesn't.

You don't actually care about Palestine if you promote the USA becoming a dictatorship and glassing whatever other fucking country its god-king-toddler feels has slighted him last.
