Wonder if it’s actually going to go anywhere, as France did have some high-profile politicians breaking the law via embezzlement and corruption recently, but ended up having the lightest sentences imaginable or not serving their sentences at all.

One can only hope, I suppose.

Trump got 4 years of presidency in the US, which is definitely the more extreme punishment. It’s something I would never wish upon my worst enemy

Dunno about you but I believe him

Lemmy is my main but I still use Reddit sometimes for more niche subreddits.

To be fair, them getting their shit together would be good regardless if there’s another legitimate election in the future

Climate change isn’t real, it’s the democrat water machines they have in the ocean to punish red states, dummy.

It can also be reversed - there were some popular far-left YouTubers who were advocating for not voting or voting third party as a protest against Gaza genocide, yet things that mattered domestically like LGBT, women’s rights weren’t even considered or mentioned there. The cost of doing business, baby.

Maybe in a sense that ‘genocide with some support’ and ‘genocide with full support’ still result in genocide.

He’s got my vote

Damn these government bird-drone manufacturer DEI programs, really trying to pander to the woke LGBT cultural marxists…

I’m of the belief that even supporting the working class wouldn’t have been enough to beat Trump.

The world isn’t doing great right now, and there needs to be an unifying cause, an enemy to rally against and the right worldwide has done a good job to make sure it’s nationalism with the enemy being a foreign element or non-local ethnic group (be it jews or immigrants or liberals that want to destroy the country, etc). Trump has leveraged that to great success, and Harris was trying to do that as well with some of her policies and campaign strategy.

If the opposition to the far-right ever wants to take back the lead, I feel like awakening the class consciousness once more is the correct play. Not a socialist movement (though that would probably happen as a result), but just redirecting the anger towards those who are actually responsible for the general decrease in the standard of living and those who have so much influence and interests that directly oppose the classes that are struggling. Granted, this would take a left-wing Trump who US might never get as long as politics are being controlled by big money and corporate interests.

Even though it’s too early to say, I wonder what the future would have held for US Democrats if Kamala were to win the election. Would they have learned that going right is the correct call?

What about a future where someone worse than Trump came up, someone who’s a religious fundamentalist with even higher support numbers due to constant billionaire-funded propaganda and radicalization in general, what would Democrats do then?

But maybe I’m too much of a pessimist.
