Politics isn’t like ordering a product on Amazon. You pick what you want and get it delivered within 2 days.
The reality is politics is a grind. You vote in every election over decades to push things in the direction you want it to go.
In the US only a minority of people wanted abortion to be made illegal. They voted and voted and voted for many decades to make it happen. Don’t agree with what they wanted, but they were dedicated to it and got it.
Leftists just sit on their asses whining on the internet about not getting what they want and unwilling to make an effort to even start. Mocking those that are doing the work to try to make things better because people that work are stupid and being lazy is smart. Leftism is all about convincing people it’s smart to do nothing while things get worse and using the fact that things are getting worse as proof of their intelligence.
Our labor party has had decades to work for labor… now union membership is down to 10% (from 1970s 40%+, most are government or cops), pay is so low that we have been surpassed by Eastern Europe (not a joke, Poland gets maternity leave, vacation, healthcare, and more), and billionaires pay less taxes than ever.
So… will we catch up with Poland in another 70 years? A century?
How embarrassing. Europe has right wing parties, too, yet somehow, their labor parties can accomplish so much more than ours… and do a great deal more with far less money. Our labor party is a disgusting, sad, rotten joke.
I voted D in last election, and probably will in the next national election, go right ahead. But just watch; I’ve seen this slow, undeniable decline for many decades. The grist for the grinding is our workforce.
I reiterate: Leftists just sit on their asses whining on the internet about not getting what they want and unwilling to make an effort to even start.
Exactly what are you doing to change this labor party you’re upset with? Do you think whining about it on the internet is going to change things? Do you I think I’m the Labor Party? That’s not even a party that exists in my country.
You can see that a minority of people can make happen from being continuously engaged in a party. With enough dedication you could change your Labor Party to be how you want it to be with decades of work. Are you going to start doing that work or just whine on the internet about it and do nothing?
Political parties want to win elections. If you’re not doing anything, then there is no incentive for them to do anything you want.
The US has a fascist society where most people are against the free press and political opposition to the fascist leadership. The wealthy have created social media so that anyone that might oppose them will waste all of their energy on that instead of doing anything constructive.
You never know, maybe things might turn around. But I’ve given up on Americans ever actually doing anything other than sporadic acts of violence (which only serve to help the fascists) and are completely incapable of mounting any effective resistance. Americans are broadly narcissistic and cannot bring themselves to vote for the opposition because of a fear of what their friends and family might think. Or because they need to maintain a social media image of being so hardcore leftist that voting for a “centrist” might hurt their “brand.” Most Americans are narcissists, so they are ruled by the biggest narcissist in the country. Trump won’t live forever, but I don’t see any sign of American culture changing for the better, so nothing will really change when he’s gone.
It’s obvious how the US can get out of the mess it’s in, but Americans are simply too narcissistic to do it. Social media is basically like crack to a narcissist, and while most countries have issues with social media, nowhere are the problems more acute than in the US.
Democrats didn’t want to codify abortion any more than Republicans did. For 50 years they sold fear of losing rights while doing nothing to protect them. For years both Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid refused to bring Barbara Boxer’s and Jerry Nadler’s respective bills up for a vote to make it law. In that same 50 years, despite voting, theyve continued to shift to the right to the point of barley being left of people like trump, and did everything in their power to shine the light on him to get him elected.
Since roe vs wade Democrats have had several supermajorities. When Obama came into office the legislation had already been written in the House and Senate for years, they had a supermajority and all it needed was a simple vote, which Pelosi and Reid refused.

Weird, in America there is definitely one party that this doesn’t seem to apply for.
And it’s amazing how the response to these politicians don’t actually represent us after they are elected is the party can only be failed never fail!

I’m not even American and I understand that sort of thing would’ve required a super majority which hasn’t happened since the 1960s.
But go on and find more ways to be angry at the political opposition not being effective at opposition because not enough people vote for them.
