It’s useless to attack maga in a space where everyone agrees it’s shit. However I see lots of people on here acting like Harris isn’t complicit in genocide.

It’s not an attack, you don’t need to get so defensive. It just stood out to me.

The amount of votes Harris lost compared to Biden 4 years ago can not be explained by accelerationism. Tbh I wish the left in the US was so big as to affect so many voters. Harris lost because she run a bad campaign. Her message did not appeal to the masses because it was centrist bullshit that would not improve anyone’s life in a meaningful way. She also alienated a huge part of her arab voterbase by clearly not giving a fuck about arab lives. Instead of condemning genocide she promised to keep supporting Israel. Trump also promised to end the war, that should tell you something about what those words mean.

Supporting genocide and deporting immigrants = fascism.

Lol just watch the video if you want to know why Harris lost (it’s not because she’s a woman)

Not if she promotes similar fascist ideas like deporting immigrants and funding genocide.

[-] Sop@lemmy.blahaj.zone -5 points 12 hours ago

You forgot about the part where she supported genocide.

This is a great attitude to have. You can do so much on a local level. Be there for the people around you, and try to notice when someone is not doing well and might need your help. Speak up for those whose voices are not being heard. Being available and protective towards those in your own community who are vulnerable is the least you can do. Some other significant ways you can contribute are:

  • volunteer at organisations that provide food/shelter/harm reduction
  • become a union member and help with the fight towards fair compensation for every worker
  • volunteer at organisations that have a goal of building community and provide safe spaces
  • donate to organisations mentioned above

Also realise that you do not know what it’s like to be disabled/queer/of an ethnic minority/a person of colour or of another vulnerable group (unless you are a part of that group of course). You need to learn about their struggles before you can effectively help them. You probably already know someone who belongs to one of those groups, now is the time to listen to them and learn from them so you can better vocalise their struggles towards those who don’t understand.

Also, motivate others to do the same! All hope is not lost, humans instinctively look out for one another and the biggest change is made through helping those around you.

This is dangerously wrong. Any person can have a huge impact on their own community without changing countrywide politics. It is super important that caring USians start contributing to their communities and help the people that are more at risk of being wrongly prosecuted for living their life. Please volunteer at mutual aid programs, please protest against genocide, please educate the people around you, please make sure trans and queer people are safe, please speak out about racism. And when you witness a nazi victimising someone based on their identity/race/disability/etc, please act and don’t look away.

Telling people that ‘change is hopeless’ only endangers vulnerable groups more.
