Most definitely.

@BrianJopek

by the way, these checks and balances do not just apply to the supreme court and congress

it applies to *you*

FUCKING #VOTE, PEOPLE

the next dem candidate may SUCK. fucking SUCK

(they won't suck IF YOU SHOW UP IN THE FUCKING PRIMARIES, USELESS WHINERS)

as if the dem candidate sucking fucking matters with a fascist threat like trump and MAGA

a vote is not a statement of eternal love

it's tactics in a larger war

fight the war and fuck your mindless cynicism and toxic idealism

@BrianJopek @benroyce

A recent related thought:

When this criticism comes from an individual, it's fair. People who stayed home did fuck things up badly by not voting for the better option and leaving us with literally the worst president this country has ever seen.

However, when this criticism comes from the democratic party or someone in power there, I get pissed off. It's their job to get voters energized and get them voting and they failed at it. Miserably. Multiple times.

@gbargoud @BrianJopek

who gives a fuck

why consider anything the democratic establishment says

they fucking suck

just ignore them, show the fuck up to vote, and replace them with real leftists

that's it

why do we fucking care what some spineless centrist democratic party asshole thinks?

why are our emotions centered on their words? why should we ever care?

just fucking ignore the useless pieces of shit and vote them out

@BrianJopek @benroyce

I do ignore them and plan to continue doing so except when voting them out in the primaries or holding my nose and voting for them in the generals if the primaries didn't work out and they are up against a fascist again.

This was more of an observation about how the same words should be interpreted differently depending on who says them.

@gbargoud @BrianJopek @benroyce Thank you. Refusing to vote for them if they make it through the primary process is what got us Trump.
