With one party we can talk about shitty elected officials and run for office and campaign to get more progressive candidates in office. In the other there are never trustworthy elections or checks and balances ever again. Stop fucking following Russian bot taking points. They are not the same.
You either want a messy democracy or no democracy.
Nobody is thrilled with Biden’s handling of a lot of shit, but at least with the Democrats there’s hope to have presidents not just figureheads, monarchs, and oligarchs for the rest of our lives and several generations’. Grow the hell up.
The Supreme Court coup and decisions this week should make it abundantly clear where we are headed and exactly what theocrats and the ultra wealthy want. The next president could easily choose several justices.
I’ve absolutely had it with wish-washy people relatively safe in their privilege both sidsing this shit. Vote. Be active locally. Use your voice.
The rest of us have legitimate expat escape plans at this point for our own safety or that of our loved ones.
@hacks4pancakes one friend already bailed to another country, a couple years ago. :(
@ExplodingLemur it’s getting to that situation. Blue states could easily stop being able to shelter LGBTQIA people or women’s rights in a couple years.
@hacks4pancakes @ExplodingLemur Cities like Chicago are going to be hit hard. IIlinois is a red state without Chicago.

@Mea @hacks4pancakes @ExplodingLemur

Maybe i shouldn't generalize without knowing this as a fact but i think most states are red if you remove their biggest cities

@RnDanger @hacks4pancakes @ExplodingLemur This is true but Trump as POTUS threatened Chicago with military action back when he had advisors walking him back from breaking laws like Posse Comitatus.
@Mea @RnDanger @ExplodingLemur we are also having bus loads of hungry, lost migrants dumped without help or explanation in the middle of the night in our train stations as retribution.
