Are people in the US aware that they are now definitely a rogue state, or is this fact covered up by the usual patriotism somehow? (lemmy.world)

So to be clear, you believe Jill Stein voters to be representative of the ones "actually trying to put out the fire"? Am I understanding you correctly?

Anyone who didn't think genocide was an entirely negotiable part of the platform/a wedge issue nuisance, basically. There were some Jill Stein voters there, some PSL voters, some non voters who are otherwise politically active, certainly a bigger percentage than Dems who think politics is a thing you do every two years for a few hours.

I've yet to see democrat leadership organizing for a general strike or advocating for civil disobedience, unlike those others mentioned.
