ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIES

As an American I'd like to imagine an alternative reality

Where I lived in a large #democracy in the Western hemisphere

That suffered a lying douchebag seizing power via a cult of bigots and ignorants

Who tried to claim #election hoax, tried to commit violence

But was convicted

Instead of seizing power again because of the fecklessness of his country's institutions

Oh wait

That's #Brazil #Brasil

Brazil’s ex-president Bolsonaro arrested to prevent ‘attempted escape,’ court says

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was arrested on Saturday by police to prevent a possible “attempted escape,” according to Brazil’s Supreme Court, days before he was due to begin a prison sentence for leading a coup attempt.

@benroyce The Biden regime deliberately shielding Trump from prosecution was the dumbest, most morally outrageous, and most consequential manifestation of the Dem desire to sell out to the Republicans that I’ve ever seen.

Democrats relied heavily on the advice of Israel and Palantir to win the 2024 Election. They'd do it all over again given a second chance. If the decent people of America ever want to win back the White House they're going to have to rid themselves of those influences.

@noyes

we need to take over the democratic party

third party can't work until we fix our stupid fucking fptp voting system

and not voting is nothing but entitlement (it doesn't effect me personally, so i don't know/ don't care about the stakes, and choose to disappear into mindless cynicism and toxic idealism)

we need to mob the primaries. 50 AOCs and Mamdanis
