The trouble with progressive politics is that it's full of dumbass progressives.

For any #progressives out there feeling wishy-washy about supporting #Biden in #2024 I want to be very clear, and I mean this with all my heart and from the deepest depths of my soul -

GO FUCK YOURSELF, YOU IGNORANT MOTHERFUCKING SACK OF SHIT.

#MAGATS don't bother me, they're a minority and can't win AS LONG AS WE STAND TOGETHER IN OPPOSITION. But selfish, short-sighted progressives are more interested in outrage than progress. To be clear - the power #MAGA has is due to progressive stupidity.

#Progressives are going to elect #Trump .
The problem isn't the age of people in office, the problem is that YOU ARE STUPID.

For every person out there with #ageist gripes about elected officials in #government let me explain how it works to you:

Elected officials are ELECTED from candidates who RUN FOR OFFICE. The candidate who GETS THE MOST VOTES wins the office. If younger candidates DON'T RUN, then they CAN'T WIN. If the people clamoring for younger reps DON'T VOTE, those candidates CAN'T WIN. And if those candidates campaign on attacking people over 40 who DO VOTE, guess what? That candidate CAN'T WIN.

So the latest defense coming from MAGA and Trump is basically that murder for hire isn't a crime, it's "free speech."

None of this noise is a legitimate defense and it won't last 5 minutes in a court of law - and they know it. It's all gaslighting for the ignorant rednecks.

The funny thing about the explosive migration to #threads is that it shows just how many people are absolutely sick of #Twitter and were desperate for an alternative (that they found viable - sorry #Mastodon you will never be "it"); it was a literal stampede. They HATED Twitter, but couldn't quit it without that alternative. This may come as a shock - you don't NEED social media. Civilization functioned fine for millenia without pictures of your lunch or having an influencer pick your wardrobe.
There is no way in HELL I would EVER allow a #Meta app on my device; might as well just email your bank account, medical records, and social security number to #zuckerberg , it's essentially the same thing. Same goes for #Twitter. Twitter has been the most prolific platform for misinformation for years; if #threads manages to crush #Elon's propaganda/hate/misinformation platform, I'm all for it, but I'm not going to make myself vulnerable. I hope the Social Media Wars kills ALL social media.
Our hope now is in the hands of #GenZ . Unfortunately for them, they will be saddled for decades with fighting the #right-wing #fascist #authoritarianism that the #Millennials were too apathetic, and too selfish, to fend off.
I don't know how this can be made any more clear - if you are dragging your feet about supporting #Biden or #Democrats in 2024, YOU are the one killing affirmative action. YOU are the one killing the rights of women, LGBTQ+, and minorities. Not the right, YOU.
