Shock new poll shows that adults increasingly think political violence is necessary to ‘get country back on track’
8mon 19d ago in usa@midwest.social from www.independent.co.ukI do think it's possible to vote your way into a situation you cannot vote yourself out of.
Like, for example, the way the system is currently setup gives much more representation (and therefore power) to smaller states. To change that, we would need to amend the constitution which would require a super majority. When have institutions willingly voted to give up their unearned power?

The division and violence is coming from within the house.
9mon 5d ago in politics from midwest.socialAnd after the barrage of cringe tone deaf “humor” about a fucking political assassination I think my side doesn’t have room to criticize other people’s jokes.
Perhaps the reason that "humor" is coming out so strong is because Republicans are so cavalier about "having basic respect" and "don't glorify political violence." So yeah, I don't blame people at all for glorifying the death of a mouthpiece of that hate and division, he was literally asking for it. He radicalized the youth, downplayed political violence, and encouraged stochastic terror. There hasn't been a better example of living by the sword and dying by the sword, so as far as I'm concerned, until there are consequences for lack of civility, respect, decorum, not glorifying terrorism, etc, Republicans have earned none.
So how do you feel about the whole Charlie Kirk divide?
9mon 8d ago in asklemmyObviously the ideal amount of political violence should be zero. If any other option exists, I think those must be taken first.
But sometimes the status quo is violence, and letting the status quo continue doing violence will overtime do more harm than one act of political violence. So mathematically, there must be some point where some violence is worth the cost of less harm in the future.
