    Aaannd…

    This is exactly why we are on our own. MAGAts are out to kill us/rob us, Dems are cowards that are more than happy to let us twist in the wind for whatever perceived benefit. A third party has basically no shot in our current system.

    We are screwed.

    🤦‍♀️ 🙄 🤡 🖕 💩

      We always for violence. Not advocating because I don’t think we are quite there. But we should keep it in our back pocket and maybe remind the dems, whose addresses are easier to find then an ice agent’s, that we have it.

      Wait, Ed Case for once was not on a list of shitty Democrats? I’m glad, but I’m also very surprised.

    As someone who has lived in the US (and travelled extensively), but is not a US citizen, this is the kind of stuff that makes me believe that sane Americans are unfortunately incapable of getting their country back from the oligarchs and the racists.

    If the Democrats were not corrupt and had balls (no sexism intended), they would be openly supporting the LA protests and trying to establish a Trump free zone in LA were Trump shills and lackeys would be interned and Trump “laws” would not be followed.

    Unfortunately, most Americans are only good at talking about freedoms and most are too lazy and corrupt to actually follow through.

      The same thing opposition to netanyahu’s genocide had to do with it.

      Not a fucking thing, but democrats like voting with republicans and need an excuse.
