Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these States; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present President of the United States, Donald J Trump, is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

    Yeah I’m sure a President Kamala Harris would be doing mass deportations, aligning the US with the authoritarians of the world, threatening to invade allies, making tirllion dollar tax cuts for the wealthy ahd would have Elon Musk gutting the federal government right now.

    Yep, that would all be happening. Definitely.

    FFS The cope coming from the uncommitted crowd is even more insane the cope coming from MAGAs right now.

      The only people smoking all the copium they can are the neo liberals ignoring reality.

      You love blaming leftists for not supporting right wing centrist Neo libs but are all crickets when it comes to the obvious reality that DNC leadership sabotaging bernie sanders at every possible opportunity illuminated the fact they prefer a Trump administration rather than upsetting their wall street military and prison industry profiteer donors and allowing any movement left to their platform.

      But gk ahead and blame people with a brain and conscious who can’t support a party who’s best campaigning is “vote for us, we aren’t as awful and only slightly fascist” “vote for us we will maybe murder 20% less Palestinians while we wave pride flags and type out #blm tweets on a fascist echo chamber platform meanwhile we ignore out of control rent prices and stagnant wages.” Federal minimum wage hasnt been adjusted in 16 years which is the longest it has gone unadjusted in since 1938 with the introduction of the fair labor standards act by FDR.

      The rest of the developed world considers the democratic party a right wing party. But go ahead keep on voting for right wing centrist corporatism and cling to your delusional beliefs that one day the democrat party donors will let positive change happen even though all signs point to…… they will never let that happen at any price.

      DNC could easily have put a winning candidate on the ticket in 2016 and 2020 but they said fuck that they obviously would rather have authoritarian fascism because their donors prefer that to any option that would threaten their capital.

      Also Biden had stricter immigration policies than trump did in his first term.

      And whats so sad is you centrists will never admit sanders supporters were right and instead just keep parroting corporate neo liberal propaganda that aims to shirt the blame away from those who are actually responsible and could have prevented this.

        All I hear is someone that swallowed the “both sides” bait hook, line, and sinker and is now stuck in denial that you got suckered.

        At least some of the MAGAs are now admitting that they got scammed.

          Thats all you hear because you have cognitive dissonance.

          Its a reality, both sides are funded by the same corporate wall street military and prison industry profiteers. Neo liberals like you ignore this, you stick your head in the sand on the reality of what this means. Those who admit it naively believe that we can just fix this at the ballot box. But even princeton has analyzed the reality and their study shows definitively the anount of influence one has on political policymaking is directly proportional to the anount of money you have with regular working class people having a near zero statistically meaningless effect on any policy regardless how popular or popular it is. But go ahead. Im sure the fact that the amount of dead Palestinian women and children’s corpses would be a few tons less under kamala harris than under Donald trump would have allowed you to sleep far more peacefully at night. Anything short of radical change is unacceptable or at bear minimum instant progress resulting in change is unacceptable and all the tired stale corporate funded grifters of the Democratic party establishment have to offer are platitudes and virtue signaling.
