Can you cut this shit out already? It's bad enough that you're using the suffering of living, breathing people to make a point, but if you have to then can you not at least make a point that's not tired, unproductive and fucking stupid?

we had the largest protest in U.S. history on June 14th, we aren't doing nothing
Nope. No Kings was the third largest in US history after Earth Day 1970 and BLM, and given that it was basically a weekend parade I'd say No Kings was nothing.
Wait, how does he have a security detail?
So first: You do realize there will likely be no free and fair elections until Trump is overthrown right? It's too late to solve this using elections because there will be no elections. You're in the equivalent of 1933 Germany after the Enabling Act, where the Act is substituted by the Republican majority in Congress and the lack of consequences for Trump doing whatever he wants.
Second and more relevantly, though: Revolutions aren't just "started;" they happen when political unrest reaches a boiling point and is given some kind of trigger. You see the protests in LA? That's building towards the revolution. A revolution can then turn violent due to violent backlash from the state, but either way it is literally impossible to "start" a revolution in the way you're talking about. I mean hell, the fall of the Bastille wasn't exactly planned; it just kind of happened. If a revolution does happen I'd put the start at the current LA protests, but I digress. The point is: To get a revolution, you don't necessarily need to grab a gun and shoot cops, but you do need to resist on the streets. Again LA is a good example of what I'm talking about, so what I'm calling for is, for starters, more of that in more parts of America. Organize among your community and in your workplace and please someone go on strike already.
PS: I'm not American, so internet forums are about as much as I can get in on the action.

Ifkr? You'd think he was a political dissident at least with how hard they have it for him.

For now.
Tbf there is an argument to be made that the “Kamala” strategy worked just fine, people were actually hyped up and did get out the vote.
This is straight up historical revisionism, which is wild considering this shit happened last year. Harris lost all swing states. I repeat, she lost all swing states. She allowed fucking Trump to run on being anti-war and pro-worker. Fucking Trump. What are you even talking about?
Never in my life have more people hit me up at the exact same moment than when Joe Biden dropped out
That was excitement at having someone other than Biden to vote for, which Harris quickly squandered.
That's kinda what happened in 2016, but DNC resistance and progressives' terminal lack of spine (and billionaire money) killed it.
Neither does Germany and the AfD is still rising so... yeah.
That is irrelevant to their point and such blatant deflection makes you look immature.
Not necessarily. NYC is left-leaning enough that Republicans are firmly in the minority, and also you have Cuomo, Adams and the Republican nominee splitting the asshole vote.
I was talking more about the whole fascist takeover thing. The current batch of oligarchs and dictators has to go before you can fix anything anywhere, and by the next election cycle American democracy will be dead. The timeline simply doesn't allow for an electoral solution.
