@cyrevolt@mastodon.social#Education, folks.
We need a lot of education.
It's shocking how many people vote for certain parties despite it being against their own interests.
Keep talking to people. Because in a #democracy, the people vote. And so they need to know what's up to meet their needs.…
@leftsidestory@mstdn.socialI’m not even feeling doubtful atm, that if the democrats can’t win big in the midterms, I mean like unable-to-contest kind of big, the US democracy system will be over and the Republicans will find legal holes to let Trump rule a third term. #Trump #elections

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotThis is the actual #CountBinface talking about #Democracy. He's serious — and very interesting indeed. Strongly recommended.
I want to see this man in parliament.

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotYou'll all know I'm a fan of #Binface4Clacton, the space alien on a mission to teach humans how to do #democracy before it's too late. Here he attempts to school Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell — but I'm afraid it's all Greek to them.
The Rest Is Politics: Leading:…
@yetiinabox@todon.nlOne morning, when Kascitcana awoke from a nightmare of religious authoritarianism, they found themselves transformed into an enormous cockroach. They were covered in armour. They could fly. They could digest anything, and infect the body politic with revolutionary ideas. Like the gods, they had many arms and legs! It was wonderful!!!!!

@hippyjo@c.imAs the divide between the "haves" and the "have-nots" widens, it is important to speak out and make it painfully obvious that we are being ripped off and criminally exploited.
Normalize resistance, make it publicly acceptable to speak truth to power, and do not be reduced to a factotum.

@a_j_millar@fediscience.orgHello fedifolk especially fediscience,
have any of you been working with WfD? I bet some are!
Edit, "#Science for #Democracy" in English.
I have just come across it, looks really interesting especially this prep work ...

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caIn Canada it would be inconceivable that a Premier or Prime Minister’s personal lawyer would become the Attorney General, both at a public acceptance level, and simply because our government system doesn’t work that way. (All Minister level people are elected first as MPs with few exceptions)
In the USA, it’s just a Friday.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caImagine if Americans had the kind of power and influence as Ukrainians have.
Even while they fight invasion and constant bombardment, Ukrainians, young and old, take to the streets to demand their government reverse a decision critical to the war effort and fighting corruption.
And their government listens.
Imagine if Americans had this kind of poise and resilience to fight their supposedly democratic government.
It is hard not to come to the conclusion that Americans are just too wrapped up in themselves, and too lazy, to do anything about Trump.
