Vote Blue, just don't forget that we are still likely going to need to take to the streets and take action anyway in case Republicans do not step down peacefully, or they ratfucked your state's elections.
Never forget that Republicans broke the social contract between us and our government by ignoring Due Process and breaking the very foundations of the trust in our legal system. They should not longer be protected by said Social Contract, they do not get to have Due Process after they wiped their asses with it.
No fanboying for any politicians, ever anymore. Not Obama, Biden, Newsome or Mamdami. They just need to shut the fuck up and do their jobs. Give them no rope, If they aren't doing their jobs right, demonstrate, protest, strike, fuck their week up until they do their job. Being competent shouldn't be treated as being exceptional.
What if the Democrat fails my purity test? Shouldn't I punish the country?
Yes, and be sure to call anyone who disagrees a monster and idiot. Bonus points if after calling them an idiot you say something factually wrong like you're dropping truth bombs. Then step outside and enjoy a victory smoke, the weather is wonderful this time of year in Moscow.
We shouls be rioting in the streets more often in general tbh. Look at the state of our states
I'm not sure being on foot in most US cities is a great idea. Car-centric design and low density means you can't disrupt much and you're basically caging yourself in for authorities with car to have their way with you. That's probably why it's encouraged. Meanwhile, like 20 cars strategically placed could shut down / turn to chaos a large city.
Protest in cars! Block the roads, enjoy the music, grab some snacks.
Remember the time we all voted blue and defeated Trump and then blue did nothing and here we are again?
Vote blue but elect progressives in primaries. One doesn't need to be Einstein to figure that out.
We need to protest and call dem reps as much if not more than republicans, no matter which party holds the majority. We know Dems cave to pressure so we need the progressive electorate to apply it more than republicans do. We’re past the days of assuming these fuckwits will do their jobs correctly without public scrutiny. Once again history proves the price of freedom is constant vigilance.
So then you're ready to organize and take up arms? Because I encourage you to do so. Voting is the small amount of violence direction allotted to you by the system. You should use the hell out of it, because it will be used against you otherwise.
However I agree its not enough, it's the barest minimum of effort. Not the end all be all as many seem to treat it. So if you're not voting, I assume you're calling for direct violent action.
Though I suppose if that's not it, as well. Then I assume you're a Republican Agent, and frankly at that point what you deserve are the exact things you enable.
So what are you? What's your point?
