    I understand the poster may be very emotional because of the election. Yet, This strikes me as incredibly reductive.

    I think she lost because, she represents the continuation of the current administration. People want to break from the status quo, even if that means harming society to do it.

    The dems need a left wing populist, asap.

        Uh no. You don’t just give up and blow up the country. Even if he gets to full authoritarian you’d need the peaceful structures of organization to have any chance at doing more than dying at 3 in the morning. It’s not sexy to Americans but the answer is the same as always, organize, protest, slow stuff down in critical work areas, and go further only if it’s absolutely required. Until he actually does anything you don’t even have a moral high ground, you’re just going to get called a terrorist, and rightly so.

      A populist isn’t gonna save you from the toxicity of your society and the stupidity of your people. You guys deserve what you get
