    It’s quite literally on the administrations to-do list.

    If you’re worried about election integrity under the administration, please do volunteer, or work directly for your elections board if you can. We can really use the help, no matter where you are from.

    If you have some spare cash, don’t be afraid to print out some fact sheets for people to take with them when voting, as long as you don’t violate canvassing laws of course.

    eyes on the New York mayoral election.

    It’ll be a prelude to the general election.

    And trump is already interfering in that election. and I bet he’ll deploy the national guard during the elections. Or straight up jail a candidate.

    Like in Germany, Italy, and Spain it will not be the Liberals that fight back. Liberals will bend the knee and beg for forgiveness while Social Democrats will protest until the military massacres them all. But it will be the revolutionaries, the Socialists, the Anarchists, and the Communists that will resist.

      The Time to Move Forward Is Now

      Ah, 2021. A time of triumph and jubilation. Democrats coming together and saying “We won last time so now we’ll never lose again” and proceeding to write the opposition party off as toothless has-beens. What a magical moment for our country.

      Why can’t we go back to brunch? I think the real reason is because leftist voters stabbed us all in the back. So we just need to pivot further to the Right if we want to reclaim our beautiful brunch-time again.

        Almost as much as protests voters helped Trump do all this. Almost as much as the both sides are the same rhetoric helped Trump do all this.

              Any impact protest voters might have had could be outweighed a thousandfold by nonvoters. Why call out protest voters unprompted as a cause of an election swing when their impact is a drop in an ocean?

              Half the country didn’t vote, if 1% of them would have leaned Biden but didn’t vote they would still have more impact than protest voters. I feel like the percentage leaning Biden might have been slightly higher than 1% too.

              Democratic party could have won in a landslide for speak up for their base who didn’t want a genocide, but no, they wanted it and stuck to it.

              Democrats are 100% to blame. And fuck you and everyone who tries to put the blame on people for having a conscience. If they had any semblance of representing their base, they fucked it up themselves.

              Democrats put themselves in a scenario where Trump would win and you’re surprised he won?

    Totally on board with your premise, they do need to punch up as much as they can. And it looks like they’re trying to do so this round of shutdowns.

    Nonetheless, this ultimately comes down to us. All of us. We can’t just sit here behind a computer and meme ourselves out of this disaster. We have to get out in the streets. We have to yell get mad and be angry. We have to hit them where they feel it. We have to organize. Get with upset farmers, get with the military vets whose benefits have been cut, get with the middleclass milquetoast moms who are starting to feel like something isn’t right with their grocery bills.

    Each and every individual one of us is a single drop in the ocean, but, if we all move in the same direction, we become a crashing tsunami.

    The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Democrats don’t really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child’s toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

          The first part is correct, both parties are owned by the same billionaires and consistently vote in the interests of those billionaires. The second part is some shit you made up because you don’t have a coherent counter-argument to the things the tankies are actually saying.

        It’s not about bad or good even, it’s about having “principles” and acting on them. Democrats in general, for better and worse, are permissive to all kinds of stuff but have a real hard time agreeing on where lines are drawn and picking hills to fight for and die on together.

        It’s like a kid having a tantrum on the floor of a public place and the parent going “sorry this is horrible but this just how he acts” and doing nothing to correct them or change the situation when they totally can.

        Republicans don’t really have that problem, even when it’s objectively the dumbest shit ever.
