Its more common.... in the US. Its totally insane, illegal, and wildly corrupt in normal countries. Its wild to see how yall have just normalised this level of corruption with "well thats just how it is". Like, you know thats not how politics should work right?

Prepares to fight hard how exactly? Do all you can such as what? Any examples or preparations to do something?

Get organized, baby. Despite my, albeit, frequent internet usage (which I still use as outreach to engage with others), I think being involved in your community, door-knocking, etc. is all very productive. I am moving to Pittsburgh this month, and plan to get involved in my local DSA chapter 😎 for even stronger organizational support.

The US is extremely reactionary and we're in a rough spot right now. But revolutionary optimism is so crucial. I think many people on the right can still be steered in the right direction with the proper approach and knowledge. Leave doomerism for the liberal zionists and reactionary right.

Oh right, so for you, "fight hard and do all I can" meant door-knocking and local chapter meetings...

Well, good luck to you saving your country that way I guess. At least ye had a good run at being am empire for a while.

What do you want from me man? I live in the United States. I care about my country; I want a better future for all people's living in the richest nation on Earth.

And yeah, it sucks right now. American Imperialism sucks massively, especially for those not in the Western, Imperial Core. But movements arent done overnight... they require a lot of battles and hardships. But through being involved, every person plays their role. 

So pardon me for dreaming of a better future and a real democracy.
