Progressives around the world: I wish I could say "This is not who we are". But it IS who we are. I'm embarrassed.

[Aristus]

And I'm sorry it has all come to this.

From a Trump-hating American military veteran, and a staunch, die-hard liberal and progressive.

It isn't all of us; just enough of us to royally screw up this country that I loved once upon a time.

1. I am ashamed of my country. I wish I could personally apologize to Zelenskyy.

[Aristus]

3. Is there any website out there that could post apologies that Zelenskyy might see?

n/t

4. That's a good idea. I wouldn't know how to do it, but I would definitely participate

[LSparkle]

6. Me too

Watching that was unbearably sad and another nail in the coffin of the country I once loved.

2. The MAJORITY of Americans are opposed to the vile republican crimes against the people

It is time for the Democratic leadership to STAND UP and REPRESENT the majority!

[RockRaven]

7. Unfortunately not. 77M voted for him, 90M didn't vote. THAT is the majority.

The majority didn't oppose him. America is a majority shit-bag country. Being in denial about that fact isn't going to help deal with it.

8. Wrong. 4 million voters were suppressed.

Majority of Americans wanted Harris.

[RockRaven]

11. Even if you subtract 4M from the nonvoters and add it to Harris, the overwhelming

majority of eligible voters did not vote for her, did not oppose TCF when they had the chance, did not stand up against his depraved rhetoric and behavior.

13. Wrong again....voter suppression. Republicans stole 2024 election

[Initech]

12. I'd be curious to know:

What percentage of the US population is children, and how many actual registered voters there are. If there's 90 million registered voters who didn't vote in 2024, that's a huge problem.

[RockRaven]

14. I want to acknowledge an error (of mine). That is 90M eligible, not registered, voters.

In previous posts I have used these numbers and said registered, but it is eligible.


245M are eligible.
155M ballots were cast.

15. I'm not talking about the election

Recent polls show that more Americans:
- Oppose Musk's involvement in government
- Believe mass layoffs of federal workers will not improve the economy
- Support Ukraine versus Russia
- Oppose selling public lands
- Support vaccine requirements

Democrats have more people behind them than against them on these issues. That should give them the confidence to attack, attack, ATTACK the radical and criminal trump regime because all that evil needs to win is for good people to do nothing.

5. That slide into facism is moving faster. The silence or approval from too many in the country is deafening.

[Initech]

10. The scary thing is that it's not just the US.

Fascism is becoming a problem worldwide. Last week, Modi said that he wanted to Make India Great Again.

9. Someone just posted that they sent an email to the Ukraine embassy in the US

Here's the email address they posted: [e-mail]
