If only Americans didn’t hate LGBT and minorities so much they might be actually be able to progress instead of continuing the American tradition of two steps forward one step back.

    If all you’re going to do is vaguely dance around these other options, then I have to assume you’re representing them in bad faith here and/or are significantly downplaying the difficulty of changing an entire form of government and the economic machine without an incredible level of violence; or generations of coordinated reform (or I suppose, the “CIA” equivalent in another country supporting a coup here…)

    What other options are there for the average American? Truly?

    There are only 2 other options I can see from what has been presented by you. Only 2.

    1. RFK Jr. - This is not a serious third option, and everyone who’s not currently living with brain worms, understands this.
    2. Violence - If you’re not advocating for RFK Jr here, and I suspect you are not, then you’re advocating for violence. That’s a very, very, very, extremely, insanely, dangerous game you’re playing right now.

    Unless you’ve got another option you can clearly articulate here.

      I have offered my opinions multiple times, and what’s right for me may not be right for you. If you’re interested enough in those opinions, you can scroll my history, when you’ve time, inclination and gumption enough. Or you can stay invested in the opinions you’ve already formed and reward confirmation biases. I’ve searched long and hard for options, and I’m still searching. I have a few in mind. But if it even looks like seeking confirmation bias seeking behavior to me, I’m moving on, because like everyone else, I’m already balancing a tray of full plates. I’ll invest in those who are willing to invest, as time and energy allow. Everyone else will either figure it out for themselves, or won’t. Either way, enjoy your day/night.

        Meh, I read through your history. It’s not clear what your opinions are, and you’re not volunteering it in this thread, so I’m writing you off.
