Not by voting, but tomorrow I will hold up a sign near a road for 2 hours. Trump will have no choice but to step down after that.

Protests are for building public solidarity. You know, organizing.. the only way for the masses to accomplish anything in the face of fascism. It's not for convincing Trump of anything.
I think OP might have been talking about that pesky amendment that comes after the free-speech one
Which also benefits from organizing.
The american government was designed to serve exactly the people it’s still serving (rich merchants and landowners). It’s working extremely well, they just lied to you about what it was designed to do.
Another fairy tale is thinking that Vooting Bloo No Matter Hoo can defeat fascism.
Im vooting! I'm vooting!
Or peaceful protests with arts and crafts.
Managed opposition.
They see tge writing on the wall. This happenned before.
This made me so mad I actually looked up my representative and wrote her how impotent this stunt was. Of course, "writing your representative" is just as pathetic, but SOMEONE had to hear about my anger. Kudos to Al Greene though. The old geezer stood up for all of us, literally.

Oh ho ho you just wait till midterms! That's only two years. It's not like it's taken them two months to make half of Project 2025 a reality.
Good thing I don't live in the US
Me neither but it's not a good thing no matter where you live. The world is very small these days.
I'm starting to believe that the saying "All roads lead to Rome" might've been a warning.
True… but you can sure enable one by not voting.
Repeat after me …. The democratic party is funded by the same wall street military and prison industry profiteers that fund the republican party and they are fundamentally opposed to shifting policy to the left and adopting economic democracy to any extent in their platform to the point they would rather ensure a right wing candidate wins by sabotagingrg any popular pro workers rights candidate rather than nominate anyone left of their platform which makes american western neo liberal democracy a defacto class dictatorship!
Whew! I followed you though. There are other factors as well I'm sure, but yeah, those are some of them, and big ones too. Greed sure does become complicated over time. Institutions are built on it. It was a bit hard to get past the arrogant-sounding "Repeat after me" but I'm glad I kept going.
