(1,477 posts)Part of the problem is a result of disenfranchised people, not because they didn't vote, but it is being gerrymandered so that it doesn't count. Oligarchies have perfected the divide and conquer strategy. This isn't an attack on all, but I think that some of the Democrats in Congress aren't seeing the big problem and some of them have voted with Republicans. Sure there are some that are fighting, but it's not really as much as I would like. Some of them have other interests than what people voted them in for. Yes, people should all out vote, I am not disputing that, but that is only part of it. This fight will only work if all the Democratic part of Congress understands that there has to be no capitulation to Republicans. After all, that is what they (Republicans) are expecting.
Again, I would agree with what you are saying, but if things such as universities and the like are being attacked, and for viewpoints that are against the MAGA king, who is going to want to do stay in the US? We got a lot of international students. Who is going to risk coming to the US? I like what Harvard is doing for example, but again, there aren't enough universities that are willing to stand up against the fascist. Colombia capitulated, who else.
Again, I'm not leaving the US, and I don't even have the means to do so. But again, international students makes up a large amount of colleges and universities. If their lives/livelihood are being threatened by the government, why would they stay? There used to be a time when I thought the US had great universities, and they still do, but now it's being dismantled. Of course, a lot of people (mostly MAGA) think that those who see the things Europe has are Euro-snobs. But again, we are not even close to being the top among industrialized countries when it comes to healthcare.
