      That’s the message that won the GOP the last election. Are being paid by them, or did you just believe someone else paid by the GOP who told you not to vote?

        I never said don’t vote.

        I said don’t depend on simply voting to fix things.

        Don’t sit around for another year expecting the midterms will fix things.

          What would you suggest we do?

          Only one thing will help, to organize. Methinks innumerable groups on a general forum cooperating on what they agree on. Federated, it could be fediverse, should be, we just need to get started.

          Cooperating publicly and privately as we see fit, we could find and groom good candidates for 2028. Ones suppoeting popular reform. It would not take that many people for that end.

        Democrats being captured by big money ultimately caused it. Throwing elections. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise, this was always going to result with these dems leading the opposition.

        Without a new deal, and some aggressive party machining at this point, there is zero chance of avoiding a fascist one party kakistocracy.
