      Tell me you’re in your teens or early 20s without actually saying it.

      Begging for the beneficence of someone who has spent the last 6 decades pissing on us and being happy it’s not worse is pathetic.

      Don’t worry. I’ll “vote blue” like a good boy. But we rot as a country either way. It changes nothing except how long before the tipping point.

      That’s not to say we can’t save our communities. Look inward. Local mutual aid and organization is going to mean more than ever. Just don’t expect help from the corporate parties.

          There really isn’t much nuance or gray area when it comes to genocide.

          The United States’ Biden Administration is currently funding and supporting a genocide in Gaza. That is unforgivable.

          Trump would be even worse than Biden. But there are enough people in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona who are going to be turned off by this (and by inflation, etc) that it won’t matter.

          The Democratic Party is fully to blame for this result, no American voter is culpable for what happens in November.

          The 2024 election should be a slam dunk for any Non-Republican Party. The Democrats’ political incompetence is solely to blame for any loss - and that incompetence is reaching a point where it is hard to believe that they are accidentally this stupid. All of this is going to support the “Monoparty” and other conspiracy theories, which are looking less and less like mere theories

              That isn’t a convincing argument. It also isn’t even responsive to what I said.

              If you’re trying to persuade people then that argument won’t do it
