  • Privilege.

    Not them tho, you. Your privilege is why you can’t understand it.

    Are you determined to not have allies of any kind?

    I get that your state is fucked, but as a resident of one of the other 49 states, my options to help are limited as long as we lack one of the the chambers of Congress since the gop is literally the problem here.

    We could try actually following thru with campaign promises and helping them, but for some reason we dont.

    That would be because we don’t have control of the House. It’s difficult to get work done when the side in control of the button that stops everything from working sits on the fucking button while shrieking racist epitaphs at the top of their lungs.



  • The DNC is fucked and run by idiots, no argument. But voting as though you’re NOT running a FPtP election when you are actually running a FPtP election is so stupid there are no words in the English language profane enough to describe it.

    The system works one way. You play the game, or you get played by the game. Voting third party for president or Senate is not how the game is played, like it or not.

    You want change? Vote in your local elections. That’s where change starts. Do it enough, and get enough other people to do the same, and THEN you can change things up-ticket.

    Play the game. Don’t get played. Don’t waste your vote. The other option these days is literally a fascist.






  • Why this fossil didn’t bend the knee and allow another younger, more exciting candidate step up for 2024 is beyond me though.

    Probably because the geriatrics fucked two whole generations of politicians by not stepping down when they should have.

    Gen X and millennials don’t have enough horses in the race with the experience necessary to run for president because they got fucked by the boomers.

    We’re going to be in for an exciting ride over the next two decades as something like 40% of Congress retires or dies in office without anyone with experience available to replace them.

    And this is on both sides.


  • Or maybe you need to understand that the down ticket races are more important than the presidency?

    Change in the US starts at the bottom. Not the top.

    Fuck the presidency. Just vote for the candidate that isn’t going to burn the country down.

    You want real change? Real progressivism? Vote progressives into local offices. Your young, progressive education board member today is your congressional rep tomorrow. Your congressional rep today is your presidential hopeful tomorrow.

    Let the status quo dems toss whatever geriatric they want at the presidency and vote them in so we don’t get another trump, or worse, a president desantis or something.

    Presidents don’t often push new laws anyway. You want to change the country? Help take the House and the Senate. As long as the president is the same party they’re not going to veto progressive legislation.
