I knew this was the route America was going on since I was a kid. Walked the picket line with teachers during high school when they went on strike, and was appalled at how I was spit on and cursed at by conservative adults.

In 2015/2016, told everyone Bernie was our second chance after we whiffed on Al Gore, and then we again fucked that up.

The masses here are beyond stupid. Wish I had the means to bring my family elsewhere.

Don’t know who needs to hear it, but here’s some advice that my philosophy professor left me with a long time ago:

Sometimes you can only save one person, and it’s okay for that person to be you.

European here. The fault is rarely ever in the masses. The oligarchs you're trying to fight against control the media and the narrative, it's extremely hard to win against that. Furthermore, wasn't Bernie chosen by popular support and then kicked out by DNC?

This time it certainly feels like it - more people than I ever expected really do openly support what Trump is doing. It’s baffling.

And yes, they did. I can’t say for certain that he had the majority of Dem voters in his corner, though. It seemed like most anyone over 40 in 2016 wouldn’t give Bernie the time of day. Lots of older folks thought he was way too progressive

where tho?

like, where is accessible but also an improvement in this metric, because I see conservative assholes proliferating like a disease.
