There's lots of reasons to show up and just leave federal seats blank -- e.g. if your local elections are on the same ballot as statewide, there are any statewide ballot measures, state AG is actual harm reduction, etc

I have an idea for the Democrats: combine police funding bills and Ukraine funding bills so Thomas Massie and Rand Paul won't block them

how many local races are going to be within 20 points where you live

maybe in the primary, but the general? lol. i guess they could be close if the red wave happens and a bunch of upsets happen in 'safe' blue seats

I keep thinking of Bad Faith’s interview with Chomsky where Bri and Virgil suggest that voting for Biden without him giving concessions to the left is dumb because Biden won’t fix the core issues and convincing person or to vote for someone who won’t fight for them is dishonest. Chomsky constantly responds with “BUT YOU’LL BE HELPING TRUMP WIN!!!!”

https://youtu.be/UnKKm5vh3pk

It’s amusing how everything Bri and Virgil said has come true a year and a half later.

I hate how easily this poo poo goes down the memory hole. Nearly every leftish media figure turned out to be completely wrong about supporting Biden but come 2024 those very same people will be held up as wise sages that we have to listen to.

Depends on how you take it.

"Literally none of this would have happened in a functioning country that provides basic services to its citizens" - lefty show

Chomsky says Ukraine must negotiate with Russia and the libs call him a Putin-loving tankie

Dialectics is one that I’ve never understood, actually—I’ve just never understood what the word means. Marx doesn’t use it, incidentally, it’s used by Engels. And if anybody can tell me what it is, I’ll be happy. I mean, I’ve read all kinds of things which talk about “dialectics”—I haven’t the foggiest idea what it is. It seems to mean something about complexity, or alternative positions, or change, or something. I don’t know.

If you don't mind the Geocities aesthetics and "for kids" framing this should get you up to speed in about 15 minutes.

Imagine sincerely using a phrase like "harm reduction" after the events of the past five years.

Goddamn, how do you be that loving oblivious to what the Dems have done and still think "yeah, the people marching under their banner won't gently caress me over." I don't even know how the gently caress you can even have an account on these forums without some sort of custodial supervision to keep you from wiring all your loving money to an NFT scam

if this happens it happens independently of party because republicans accidentally do good things locally too and it does not change the fact that the democratic establishment as a whole is designed to stymie progress and disenfranchise anybody to the left of ronald reagan with red tape and appeals to identity politics
