I went to the Kentucky primary (day of) at around 12pm, in a fairly high pop district at what I thought was the most accessible polling place.
I was expecting... and hoping for a significant line.
There were more people working at the polling place than people in there to vote. I was in and out within 15 minutes.
Then the results came out and showed less than 30% of the eligible population voted. Which by percentage of eligible voters is up significantly from previous years.
Unfortunately most of that percentage gain was due to voter role purging reducing the maximum amount of eligible voters from 3.22m to 2.99m

u/TheBSQ Jun 05 '26
The US system makes it really hard to remove people. You need like 2/3 of the reps to support it. But our system also gives disproportionate power to rural people.
So, what happens if you can have many many millions of people in the cities who hate what’s happening, but everyone who represents them in govt is already in their side & doesn’t like what’s happening either.
But to do anything, you need rural people to change how they vote. Every now and then they get mad about some policy, like tariffs hurting their farming businesses, but Trump usually just writes them checks. And culturally, they’re often more conservative, xenophobic, etc. so even if they do dislike Trump they don’t want to side with the left who they disagree with on many cultural & social issues.
And they don’t give a shit if there’s protests or riots in the cities. They don’t care about the cities. They’d probably laugh & eat popcorn if the cities burned down in anger.
You could have every one of the 40 million people in California wanting Trump gone, but it doesn’t matter. The electoral change that needs to happen has to come from rural voters in rural states.
So like, it fucking sucks, but wait it out, or hope rural farmers thousands of kilometers from me wake up and realize he’s bad.
But even then, the people in govt that need to change have six year terms and we stagger their elections, so you need to wait 4 years for someone of them to even be on the ballot, at which point, Trump’s term should already be over.
It’s why no president has ever been removed from office against their will except via death.
And our system makes it even harder to change the rules. So changing the shitty rules to make it easier to remove him is even a tougher task.
Plus, we have judicial supremacy which means ultimately the courts can rig the scales. And the highest court in the land is on his side.
And they have lifetime appointments so that’s not changing either.
So, what’s left? Revolution & civil war? Easy for outsiders to say, in a society where one of the key differences is stances in guns and you’re on the “the vast majority of us don’t own or use guns” side vs the “we have tons of guns and practice with them all time” pushing towards internal violence seems like a dumb course of action.

Rural voters are not that powerful. Dems could lose every single one and still win the electoral college.
The swing states that decide the presidential election are mostly urban and suburban people. Were not getting enough of those people fullstop. Small states going red dont matter. Small groups of rural voters in swing states going red wouldnt matter if we did better in urban and suburban areas.
Ultimately Im all for a balkanization of the United States. The right shouldnt get to run their states intot he ground and get welfare from blue states. Lets end this charade and divorce these states and let the right drive their states into the ground.

More like Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch and other billionaires buying up media to manufacture consent. It's not that complicated, and it's out in the open... Clear Channel media and other right wing radio networks poisoned the rural communities, and Fox news has rotted the brains of the elderly.
https://theweek.com/articles/880107/why-fox-news-created
In 1970, political consultant Roger Ailes and other Nixon aides came up with a plan to create a new TV network that would circumvent existing media and provide "pro-administration" coverage to millions.
They also push the 'both sides are the same' and 'your vote doesn't matter' sentiments (assisted by politicians ensuring partisan gerrymandering and various systems of voter disenfranchisement stay in-place), which are wildly successful at encouraging half the country to stay home on election day, combined with blinding the public to the massive misdeeds of the Republicans, right wing networks, and their donors, makes a great recipe for convincing the average American that there's nothing/no need to protest.

As an American who has been protesting and fighting the good fight for most of my adulthood. I have grown up and seen countless Americans (including children) lose their lives during protests, police/ice brutality, or general gun violence. Millions of people have protested in the last few months for the “No kings” protest and every single state participated in it. Families have been split in half due to political divide or torn apart because of ice arrests. There are so many people out there standing up for what’s right. Everything is skewed and manipulated by news, politicians, propaganda. Our economy is in shambles, public services are being dismantled, education is being dismantled, people are losing jobs, it’s getting tough for families to make it. We also have foreign bots spreading disinformation constantly polluting things. Not all of us, but a large portion of us really are trying to do what we can against people who are truly the most powerful financially, and are technologically advanced on a global level not just on a national level. It comforts me to see other countries succeeding where we struggle due to violence and I don’t see myself on another side, if I could be there with them I would.

I haven’t forgotten. My point is that the protests happen, the largest of which are planned and organized, then we go back to business as usual immediately after without exacting any substantial change. The powers that be just wait it out while also giving their goons a chance to flex their muscles beating on civilians with no fear of consequences.
What I’ve seen from other recent protests in France and Italy and now Albania is a willingness by the people to send the whole country up, which is 100% not happening right now anywhere in America. I live in Chicago and went to No Kings. It was cool, made national news and then that was it. Still got a wanna be king doing literally whatever the hell he wants.

u/Miltrivd Jun 05 '26
Yeah, people in the US literally do not know what the point of protests is. Sidewalk protesting in a separate space is not protesting.
Is the constant disruption and the threat of violence (they don't need to be violent, but the force of numbers needs to be present), it's showing thousands willing to step up. Slowly organized, set dates and tame protests go against the bit of power they have.
It's almost like they are intentionally made to be performative and non effective.
I'm sure there have been proper protests but it doesn't seem to be the rule.

u/Miltrivd Jun 05 '26 edited Jun 05 '26
Have you tried looking at any other country that does protests properly? Do you think they have some organized spreadsheet that tells people what to do?
The problem isn't logistics or money, it's the rotted brain that wants change without sacrifice.
Going out to protests every day means they are missing work, putting themselves in danger and understanding that change need to happen and it's more important than maintaining status quo.
Wanting change without losing anything is what holds you back, money and logistics for fucking protesting? You want to be paid and moved into your designated protesting space?
Change in the face of injustice won't happen in a cushioned, carefully planned way because the carefully planned way is what created the injustice in the first place.
When I was a student I was missing class, risking to be expelled and the cops getting too aggressive (which happened every time against pacific protests). When older I was risking getting fired and the fucking cops again. Now we got a fascist wannabe here elected by 60% of the population and it will be the fucking cops being the major risk again.

Doesn’t seem to be reported in US, but the reasons for the protests are twofold:

Glad you asked. Kushner is facing major protests and legal scrutiny over a proposed $1.4 billion luxury resort on Sazan Island and a $4.7 billion development in Zvërnec. The Albanian Prime Minister is defending the project, one might reasonably guess, because of the types of favors a major real estate developer extends to individuals involved with managing the regulation of said projects. Environmental destruction and alleged property fraud are the cited reasons for the protests, but I think it’s reasonable to assume that Albanians, and global citizens in general, are just exhausted by the blatant corruption they’re exposed to in their daily lives.
Jared and Ivanka can try to run from the shadow of their involvement with Donald Trump - not to mention Kushner’s ridiculously corrupt $2b “investment deal” that magically materialized just days after leaving the first Trump administration - but they can’t hide. Not even in Albania.

Thanks for the article. Reading it, it looks like their leader doesn't give two shits about the protests and will likely push through on the deal regardless. The Prime Minister, Edi Rama, said “There is absolutely no chance that the investment will stop as long as I am here.” On Tuesday.
Also of note, this paragraph
Alarm, he said, had spiralled into public outrage when workmen began erecting a concrete-based, barbed wire-topped fence around the site near Zvërnec, installed a private security firm to protect it and heavy machinery started decimating ancient dunes and Mediterranean pine forests to clear the way for access roads.
Such measures suggest the from the outset, the people in charge knew there would be public backlash, and have already taken steps to put in place measures against the public being able to get on site and interfere with the development.

It would be a shame if the protesters began making their signs out of quarter-inch-thick plywood to stop rubber bullets, forming a tight shield wall to prevent police from singling out and mobbing individual protesters. It would be a shame if the people behind the shield wall held up umbrellas so that tear gas canisters fired over their heads on the front line will be bounced away.
It would be a shame if protesters began constructing improvised armor vests out of duct tape, hard-backed books, and ceramic tiles. It would be a shame if protesters started wearing safety glasses, hard hats, respirators, and gardening gloves, all of which can be found at the same hardware stores as the plywood. It would be a shame if they started using traffic cones (the kind without the hole in the top), upside down buckets, or other improvised lids to contain teargas by placing them over the canisters. All of this would be a terrible, terrible shame.
*It would be an awful shame if you copied and pasted this, so that they couldn't delete the original and all linked posts (again).
**An even worse shame would be to start donating these items to protesters.

So funny watching Ivanka explain it like it wasn’t pilfered and then a day later this. She is evil.

I mean lets be real here, outside of local protests, Americans aren’t going to do this as long as the walmart stays open and they can buy their creature comforts on credit they can’t afford

The estimated attendance of the last No Kings protest was 8 million people. That’s 3x the *total* population of Albania.

A protest planned months in advance with a designated end time is not really a protest.
The people in power will just wait it out. You need to do it all the time until you get results.

NO TRUMP RESORTS IN EUROPE!
The whole Trump crime family should be banned from doing business anywhere in Europe. It warms my heart to see Albanians protest this. Gives a man hope.

surely Jared isnt the important part that they are protesting against.... why not give a clue about the actual problem in the title instead of only political bias?

American here if you're an Albanian and reading this do everything you can to keep these demons away from your land. Nothing, and I mean nothing good will come of it, just more hardships to you. Fuck these people

Make sure that thing never gets built. And then salt the earth it’s trying to build on.

Wonder why American doesn’t General Strike over this kind of behavior. This makes us look like assholes, like killing 160 Iranian children in an unprovoked attack.

I can hear Ivanka in her pretentious voice telling her kids “daddy and grandpa have a lot of power in the world and have to make difficult decisions.”

I can't help but feel embarrassed when you compare this to the "No Kings Protests"

Tell the Orange Turd to send memo alerting Kushner to faq out of Albania 🇦🇱- He can live out his days in the country where he’s truly loved 🥰 U.S.A. The Trump last name is sooooooo tarnished. What the faq are they thinking? 🤔/s
