Let this be glaring proof to anyone who would otherwise deny it: Our democracy is broken and no longer functions for the benefit of the People. This is why revolutions happen. This is why we cannot trust our own government any longer. I'm officially done. Electoral politics has proven to be a gigantic joke, and I'm not playing anymore.
I know it's decades too late, but it's still cathartic to finally see a lot of people waking up to the neolib/Republican good cop/bad cop con job routine warring over social wedges as they rob us blind since Reagan.
This country was dying before Reagan from our greed disease, and his administration killed any hope it had left. We need a new framework, this one is necrotic.
Revolution! Pain for us means a future for our children they currently don't have. Not a life worth living anyway.
If this is the lesson a majority of people learn we will be ruled by fascists for more than the next four years. Refusing to exercise power is self-defeating and will not inspire any revolutions. If we let things get worse they will get worse, because there is no floor to how bad things can get.
Agreed. This is why I'm going to vote Democrats and downvote anyone who suggests third party candidates
Surely the Neoliberals next signature piece of legislation they won't shut up about for decades as a "victory" won't be a heritage foundation created plot to further enshrine for profit insurance leeches into healthcare! Hopefully!
I wonder how they'll move to the right next cycle. "OK ok, we now support the death camps, but God damn it, line in the sand, those death Camps will have Taco Tuesdays! Vote Blue no matter who!"
