I wouldn’t go that far. Billionaires want fewer regulations on taxes and monopolies. Trump and Kamala were going to allow the same profits for the oligarchs.

Democratic leadership didn’t want Trump elected. They don’t have the same levers of power with a Republican majority government.

Dem leadership however has been very disconnected from what the common voter experiences since Clinton. Obama and his grass roots efforts were too large to ignore. They made changes to the process during Obama’s second term to favor establishment candidates and representatives. Then made further changes in 2016/2020 during those primaries and didn’t hold primaries in 2024.

These led to low voter engagement as they didn’t talk about what the common voter was upset about. And during Biden’s presidency didn’t highlight Republican obstructionism nor did they do anything that would’ve lowered prices for Americans like medicare for all or breaking up grocery/pharmaceutical/agribusiness monopolies that were price gouging under the auspice of inflation.

This all led to Harris not being elected, not Trump being elected. This is however a pedantic distinction in a two party system.

Sanders in 2016 proved that only the Dem Party leader interests matter to the Dem Party.

You pick a location near you and it lists known orgs that provide aid in any manner near you. Some people have used this to organize safe passage out of red states or support if you don’t want to leave. Make sure to verify what the resource is beforehand.

If you’re concerned about commsec I’m happy to contact any aid org on your behalf. I’m also working on an open I2P proxy for activists and at risk populations so that people can communicate and organize efforts in places where their rights are at risk or non-existent.

There’s also Arti nodes or more traditional Tor nodes as well. At least communicate through Signal if you’re going to be organizing efforts and stay off of anything Meta or twitter related.

Edit: the general nature of the site is why I said it may not be of help to you but it might be of help to others. You’re now on a list as a trans person in what is likely to be a trans exclusionist state and may know others in the community who could use any resource. I’m not one to assume your needs and I wish you all the best to you and your husband.

In the global terms of political discourse the Democratic party is as of the most recent election now Center Right and the Republican party is Far Right. The Dems in the US, in recent history, started moving to the right with Clinton, arrived at the center with Obama and have now moved into the right with Biden/Harris/Walz.

I didn’t even think to look there! Thanks for being patient with me. I forget there is a whole fediverse you can link together.

Do you support Chinese or Russian imperialism? Do you think Uyghurs are being peacefully integrated into society? Do you think the Ukranian president is a Nazi? Was Assad forcefully ousted by Western powers for merely doing what is best for Syria? Does China have a right to control Taiwan and all territorial waters around Taiwan? Is North Korea the greatest and most transparent democracy?

The US is currently complicit in a genocide that BiBi and Trump are looking to expand. Australia is expanding and encouraging a genocide in Papua New Guinea for mineral rights on the islands. Germany is flirting with literal Nazis because of energy prices. The Entire West is overlooking slavery in Saudi Arabia for cheap oil.

If you make apologies for “Communist” imperialism and only decry Western imperialiasm you might be a tankie. That’s the general definition as I understand it. I’m happy to be corrected and learn more.

Can you define center-left in global terms and then in the context of US politics? There’s a very important distinction there that you are glossing over.

Yup. Mutual aid and mutual security are closely tied. Any top down heirarchal structure, no matter how temporary you’re told it will be, is against the interests of the workers/proletariat/commoner.

Communists worked closely with fascists in Italy to have anarchists killed when Mussolini was in power.

I’m sorry, I can’t find any /c/ comm you mod on your profile. So I can’t find your modlog. I also don’t see a reference to anything like what you’re saying on the first page your comments and I don’t feel comfortable digging deeper. Can you provide a link or point me in the right direction?

Hey, I don’t know if this is helpful to you. It’s been helpful for others

mutualaidhub.org

There are a lot of other resources out there too.

Fuck 'em title 19 still applies.

Reactionary humor. Subtle.

The WHO has it’s problems. None of these are solved by such an immediate reduction in funding. What a shitgibbon.

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

I wouldn’t say they’re moderate.

That’s a very accurate assessment. Even on hexbear there’s contentious debate regarding China and Soviet Russia.

Holy shit the sea of strawmen in this thread is insane.

Yeah I fucked up…btw you wouldn’t want to meet me over here behind the dumpsters would you?

If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying.

I am requesting that link in lieu of an image macro

Yeah, shorthand for this is Tankie
