As an American, I don’t feel right asking for forgiveness just yet. We’ve won a major battle but I worry people will take the midterm victory as a conclusion to the MAGA era and disengage, allowing it to take hold again. We’ve got a lot more work to do before we earn any sense of redemption.
Democrats are off to a bad start. Yes, I am aware that the newly elected have yet to take office. Multiple democrats failed to vote for Hegseth’s impeachment, another incumbent says that the old guard are threatening him. If Jeffries remains in place then you know it’s business as usual.
i think the bigger problem with hegseth’s impeachment is he cannot be allowed to be replaced before january. after that, the democrats have a lot of leverage over who takes his place, because they can just say no to anyone trump presents, and acting secretaries of defence have significantly lower credibility than proper ones.
The „checks and balances“ need reforming to actually resist capitulation to the executive branch. Most monarchs throughout history have had less power than Trump has been granted.
IMHO as an outsider, repealing Citizens United would be a step in the right direction, as would enforcing the requirement for Congress to declare war, not the President. In fact, generally curtailing presidential powers would be beneficial IMO.
I’m curious what others, especially Americans, would suggest.
American here. I suggest abolishing the Supreme Court and the Senate, max every member of the house to representing 10,000 people, replace the President with a Prime Minister, Abolish ICE CIA NSA and FBI, ending copyright law, and making union membership mandatory.
What was the battle we’ve won exactly? Have we arrested any of the monsters running the government? Established free healthcare? Constitutionally guaranteed access to housing?
Or do you mean a slightly different neoliberal party won an election? If so I’d love to hear how that’s a “major victory” in itself.

…I mean at least the Zionist took his whole fucking mask off.
Absolutely. It’s nice to know where everybody stands.

In normal times, congress would limit the president’s powers, but the republican congress decided to let Trump have his way, with disastrous results.

That’s a good start.
Yup. We can’t repeat the arrogant mistakes of James Carville.
