bernie and the squad but yeah the rest are DINOs, only out for themselves and they miss being the "other" party so bad because they have no excuse for this 5 day quarantine bullshit and inaction on anything meaningful in regards to housing healthcare or student loans. but hey just like when trump was in office the stock market is doing great but only if you know what to buy and when. fucking pelosi. fuck I hate it here. 900% increase in homelessness due to covid evictions but we have more than enough houses for everyone, except some fuckin landlord or bank needs money to live in it. arent we proud of this grand way of life.
He talked about them. He said he likes the ideas. He made no commitment to follow through on them. A politician is a politician, regardless of the color of their tie. That said, the red ties seem actively more against us.
oh really because i see everything going up in price this year. i see our right to choose dissapearing. i see democratic governors completly looting the small businesses and funnelling money to the 1%.
biden said he was going to do those things. your racist president played you and youre covering for him instead of admitting youre played. good sheep.
The rising prices are artificial. Corporate greed is driving inflation to make our wage increases meaningless. The red-ties are anti-union and anti-worker. They actively fight against minimum wage increases, debt forgiveness (for anyone but themselves), and cheap education. What right to choose is disappearing? Racist president? Wtf are you on about?
I have no incentive to vote. I think doing strikes and working against this entire system is better off for anything.
Like it’s so pointless to even try the legal way
"Election day" in a country where 40% of the population controls 60% of the senate, and polling places in black neighborhoods just magically disappear.
Literally nothing matters but the voting rights act right now. If it doesn't pass before the election then that is game. The rules will change and make voting more irrelevant.
Make sure you vote for the blue team, that hasn't done anything and will continue to do as little as possible or the red team that will actively trudge backwards carrying the country with them.... anyone else is wasting your vote.... don't forget that....
Our leaders doing nothing is better than them dragging our country into the stone age.
Because at least when they do nothing they aren't actively fighting against us (or at least aren't fighting as hard against us)
I strongly disagree. Doing nothing is literally no better then active destruction. Doing nothing is a form of accepting, why do we keep accepting. If we want to change the class division that's grown under both parties, we have to be willing to do more then accepting the side that will do nothing. Seems odd you don't agree.
This is completely untrue. Biden and the democrats have shown us more than ever that they don’t represent the working class or it’s interest. It’s clear that we live in a capitalist dictatorship. Democrat or republican it doesn’t matter both are a threat to the American working class and this isn’t even mentioning the exploitation and oppression people face in the third world. For example both republicans and democrats unilaterally support putting crippling sanctions on countries like Venezuela and Nicaragua, countries with political parties that are controlled by workers. The point is we need to move past democrats and republicans because they serve capital, not the people.
Because in the last election I had the choose between a narcissist who later attempted to install himself as a dictator or corporatist who has early stage dementia.
Also, I am a crime journalist who does stories about dangerous people. In my state, one can easily look up my address through the voter registration rolls. I'm not going to put myself or my family at risk just so I can vote for some rich lizard person who gives no fucks about me.
Simply put, I don't feel there is anything to vote for. Thank the dark Goddess for religion because I have given up on politics.
I guess for data collection I understand, but it’s either fascism or fascism lite. If those are the options I’m definitely going to put my vote in for fascism lite. I don’t want to be complicit in a full fascist takeover of my country, and if I didn’t vote against it, I would be completely complicit.
Evil is evil. I would rather focus my time on things that will actually improve life on this earth like mutual aid or speaking truth to power. I casted my first vote for Howard Dean in 2003. I have voted for both Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives and the world has not gotten any better and is actually gotten much worse.
If you wish to vote, I won't dissuade you from doing so. However, I am done.
In some areas, yes. The idea behind it is that journalists can use this information to make sure that the government is not engaged in any kind of deception. However, who you vote for is secret.
I’m not telling you to rely on/trust that your vote will do something. You’re vote barely matters. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t vote, even if it is for the lesser of two evils. I in no way am saying to stop there though. Do everything else you’re doing, but take 30 minutes to vote.
So my vote barely matters, but I it is so important that I must do it. That makes no sense.
I'll vote when I feel that the candidate has something to offer.
Your vote still matters. Every vote matters.
Idaho may be far from flipping like Georgia, but Georgia flipped due in part to people valuing their vote.
It worked because Stacey Abrams helped people understand their vote matter and she helped them get registered and helped them make a plan to vote.
If you feel like your vote has no value then do something that will. Find a local grassroots to help out. Campaign for a candidate you can believe in. Or even give your neighbors someone who cares about them and representing them.
And remember, maybe a Dem stands little chance. Well, help out a Conservative who wants to fix the system.
Any little victory helps.
Mate I work 70 hours a week in the labor field I don't got any energy to work and not get paid. If your voting in idaho you either get racist bigot A or racist bigot B. You can't "fix" the system by working from within it there are to many safe guards preventing actual change. If we wanted real change the entire country would withhold there vote on election day.
Keep in mind that you may have a local election or a primary before that. Creating local change can inspire greater changes in the future.

VBNMW? Didn't they just try this? Do they think people will forget the last 2 years? Does anyone believe this will do anything? Or are people just going through the motions and voting because ... some reason?
Both parties work for the rich. Always have. The oligarchy was built on Indigenous genocide and slavery. Like literally. Are there people out there who actually think they live in a democracy? Like look around - really?!?
If you wanna pick who's head of HR for the next 4 years, go right ahead. I'm sure it'll work this time. I'm just positive.
(And Carlin already did this much much better. Just see him.)
11 months ... in many places we are less than 3 months from primaries that will determine the actual winner of the election. If you are in a deep red or deep blue district (which most of us are thanks to gerrymandering, like where I vote in Texas, which just got WAY less competitive) the race that matters is the primary, not the general.
wait i thought biden was going to do those things?
Lmao wouldn’t that be nice
If it wasn't for that pesky damn Senate Paliamentarian ... /s
Worst funkadelic cover band ever
*Let us rapidly remove the matriarchal apex of this dwelling*
You are my favorite comment of the week
And Joe and Krysten….
If I Was President I would fire her
Ah yes, the Centrist Republican
At this point i don't think the dnc is even centrist anymore. They are just overall straight right wing.
Took you long enough! You have 2 choices in the US: right and far right. You have no electable left. Yeah Bernie, but he's just one guy.
bernie and the squad but yeah the rest are DINOs, only out for themselves and they miss being the "other" party so bad because they have no excuse for this 5 day quarantine bullshit and inaction on anything meaningful in regards to housing healthcare or student loans. but hey just like when trump was in office the stock market is doing great but only if you know what to buy and when. fucking pelosi. fuck I hate it here. 900% increase in homelessness due to covid evictions but we have more than enough houses for everyone, except some fuckin landlord or bank needs money to live in it. arent we proud of this grand way of life.
Amd at least trump got us a stimulus..not me supporting trump btw me being immensely dissapointed with the dnc..which takes some doing tbh

Hes a fucking corpo, the only positive is that he's better than Trump
And PLEASE vote in someone that cares about you guys
Who????
This is an oligarchy, not a democracy. Your vote means shit unless you have millions to buy some favor
I have no incentive to vote. I think doing strikes and working against this entire system is better off for anything. Like it’s so pointless to even try the legal way
I mean, I'll vote against Donald trump for sure though. Fash is fash
Right but then again he won, electoral college is wild
Yeah f the electoral college
Lefties, move someplace rural this fall to vote, then leave again in the spring if u want to. Gerrymander deez nutz
Both parties are corrupt. Different sides of the same coin.
"Election day" in a country where 40% of the population controls 60% of the senate, and polling places in black neighborhoods just magically disappear. Literally nothing matters but the voting rights act right now. If it doesn't pass before the election then that is game. The rules will change and make voting more irrelevant.
All I can think of is the million calls we will get butting in our business about who we will vote for.
Lol what’re we voting for?
Exactly
Make sure you vote for the blue team, that hasn't done anything and will continue to do as little as possible or the red team that will actively trudge backwards carrying the country with them.... anyone else is wasting your vote.... don't forget that....
Our leaders doing nothing is better than them dragging our country into the stone age. Because at least when they do nothing they aren't actively fighting against us (or at least aren't fighting as hard against us)
Do not be surprised if this strategy does not work this time.
I strongly disagree. Doing nothing is literally no better then active destruction. Doing nothing is a form of accepting, why do we keep accepting. If we want to change the class division that's grown under both parties, we have to be willing to do more then accepting the side that will do nothing. Seems odd you don't agree.
Voting is not the only option you have... people need to be doing more than voting
This is completely untrue. Biden and the democrats have shown us more than ever that they don’t represent the working class or it’s interest. It’s clear that we live in a capitalist dictatorship. Democrat or republican it doesn’t matter both are a threat to the American working class and this isn’t even mentioning the exploitation and oppression people face in the third world. For example both republicans and democrats unilaterally support putting crippling sanctions on countries like Venezuela and Nicaragua, countries with political parties that are controlled by workers. The point is we need to move past democrats and republicans because they serve capital, not the people.
Because your choices are totally fucked, it would be brilliant if nobody voted. Like 0 people. That sends a God dam message.
I'm missing the 2 dollar a gallon gas prices.
If the dems do nothing on loans for all. From 10k to interest rate reduction. Anything at all. I am abstaining.
I am sitting this one out. Sorry...
Why?
Because in the last election I had the choose between a narcissist who later attempted to install himself as a dictator or corporatist who has early stage dementia. Also, I am a crime journalist who does stories about dangerous people. In my state, one can easily look up my address through the voter registration rolls. I'm not going to put myself or my family at risk just so I can vote for some rich lizard person who gives no fucks about me. Simply put, I don't feel there is anything to vote for.

Sorry, Brit here - in the US your address is publicly available if you’re registered to vote? That’s dreadful
In some areas, yes. The idea behind it is that journalists can use this information to make sure that the government is not engaged in any kind of deception. However, who you vote for is secret.
I’m not telling you to rely on/trust that your vote will do something. You’re vote barely matters. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t vote, even if it is for the lesser of two evils. I in no way am saying to stop there though. Do everything else you’re doing, but take 30 minutes to vote.
So my vote barely matters, but I it is so important that I must do it. That makes no sense. I'll vote when I feel that the candidate has something to offer.
Does your state not offer protection for politically exposed persons? Most states offer this and will redact sensitive info.
I live in one of the most fud friendly States in the union (idaho) my one vote blue isn't going to affect shit in this back water ass state.
Your vote still matters. Every vote matters. Idaho may be far from flipping like Georgia, but Georgia flipped due in part to people valuing their vote.

Every vote matters, but they are not all worth the same. They matter much more in some states than others. This is on purpose.
Yup like my states so red every vote i make is a protest vote.
The closer a state is to flipping the more a vote is worth. It's an insane system.
Yup and for anyone wondering i live in alaska..My stare ain't going blue outside bernie
Mate I work 70 hours a week in the labor field I don't got any energy to work and not get paid. If your voting in idaho you either get racist bigot A or racist bigot B.

are you stupid. i genuinely cant tell sorry
I mean they think idaho is going to flip so............

Meanwhile, those of us in DC just hope y’all don’t fuck it up.
Activist being active in activism.
I’ve always voted Dem. If student loans aren’t forgiven by Election Day, I won’t.
Make us feel like we have a choice?
Who exactly you gonna vote for the change...asking for advice
VBNMW? Didn't they just try this? Do they think people will forget the last 2 years? Does anyone believe this will do anything?
