They want California to use dirtier fuel like the rest of the country, so they can die earlier too.
Housing is mostly a local issue, so you should blame your city council, but the federal government can set incentives for local governments that take time to have an effect, which is what Biden's HUD did https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_Supply_Action_Plan?wprov=sfla1.
Biden's HHS also worked to improve access to childcare, which is dollar for dollar the best way to reduce crime and help the poor at the margin. Trump is now dismantling that. https://nwlc.org/resource/the-trump-administrations-ongoing-attacks-on-child-care-working-women/
Because I am privileged to not be impoverished, I have the time to see what policies governments have put in place.
I see this a lot on Lemmy. Yeah, Chick-fil-A donated to prevent gay people from getting married, but other restaurants do bad things too. Yeah, Trump is bad, but his opponent is bad too. Yeah, slavery is bad, but other things are bad too.
Punish the worst option while working to get better options. If you reward the worst option, everything else will get worse too.
Part of the blame is on American history education. People don't understand how change happens in America (and in democracies in general). For that, it needs to spend more time on black history, women's history, and worker history. That's why Trump wants to remove that history from museums and curricula.
Well, you've got me interested. What did Biden do that made your parents drive for Doordash?
I'd actually be interested to see how this turns out. Do you have a transcript with Claude Opus 4.7 that you can share?
Yet Myanmar ,
Myanmar wasn't a democracy.
Thailand ,
This prime minister was removed by the court, not by violence.
Nepal , and
This is the only example you gave of a democratically elected official who was violently overthrown. I said that if you violently overthrow a democratically elected tyrant, the majority will simply democratically install a new tyrant. That's exactly what happened in Bangladesh, with the same party being elected after it was violently removed. Nepal seems to be a vanishingly a rare counterexample. We'll see how long that lasts.
Spain uprooted their oppressors violently without democracy.
Spain also wasn't a democracy.
South Korea kept it's democracy by taking the tyrant violently .
Also removed by the court, not by rebel violence.
It just seems the disconnect is plain old complacency.
No, if you violently remove a democratically elected official, that official will be democratically replaced with more of the same. Violence doesn't magically change voters' minds to agree with you.
If he does dismantle democracy, then you will see people fight. You wouldn't want to end up in jail or dead if the majority support him and will just install a new fascist in his place. You would have wasted your life for nothing. Your group would have more impact if it educated voters instead.
It did not work fictionally. Nobody supports rebels in a democracy. They are rooted out of their communities and punished as terrorists. Only when it was no longer a democracy did the rebellion work. The same is true historically. If the people being oppressed can vote for their rulers, violently attacking them instead always fails.
It ceased to be a democracy when he declared himself emperor for life. https://youtu.be/f2H4AI21tEs
None of those people live in a democracy. We do. If you overthrow a democratically elected tyrant, the demos who outnumber you will democratically install a new tyrant. The only way to solve the problem and make it last is by convincing the people, not by fisticuffs.
