it's some real poo poo to say 'nothing changed' the last two years, really shows who is insulated by the status quo. oh yes it did, you lucky comfortable bastard. a LOT changed, and not for the better.

but yeah I get it, you're on your couch eatin' chips, who wants to dust the crumbs off and put on pants, when you could watch Spongebob and get high instead?

I agree, poo poo has gotten worse in the last two years. That's why I'm voting to stop Joe Biden and his radical godless agenda.

You dumbasses should have voted.

Even if neither party is going to materially improve your conditions, one of them is going to actively make them worse on purpose, that's the republicans. It sucks that the choice is between "make (bad) things even worse" or "keep things the same (bad)", but it's dumb to pretend those options are equal.

Nah it doesn't matter. They are both the same!!! Exactly the same!!!

I, with all of my heart, loving hate goons that don't vote. You guys should know better. I expect way too much from goons sometimes. Even though I'm a loving failure, I still want to make the lives of Americans better if I have even the slightest amount of hope.

I was a firefighter, an EMT, joined the USMC (whoops, that was a mistake), am a volunteer with a veteran disaster response organization, handed out food to poor people multiple times at a church which I'm not a Christian or believer in, assisted in getting people vaxxes in 2020 when poo poo went down, etc, etc, etc.

It was the cause. To help people that are worse off than me. That's it. I just wanted to help people. I don't give too many shits about myself. I care about other people that don't have it as good as I do.

gently caress you people so hard that don't want to help your fellow Americans by taking 10 minutes out of your day to not just TRY..... loving TRY to make things better for your community.

gently caress all of you.

There is no accelerationist timeline where a collapse into total republican controlled deathcult hell creates a vanguard which leads a GLORIOUS COMMUNIST REVOLUTION to victory. It loving sucks but at no point in america's history did revolutionary leftism ever have a chance, even in the 1920s-30s and not now either. Its always been a choice between mask-on* fascism that is smart enough to not kill all of the golden egg laying gooses and full on mask-off* Hail Satan. Accelerationism does not work because things can always get worse.

Right-liberal Capitalism stumbled for a bit but it survived every single blow 2015-now has thrown at it, and between 1/6 failing, russia eating poo poo and proving the american hedgemon is not the most rotted out power structure in the world, and successfully defanging attempts by the electoral left to primary their way into the democratic party, I doubt the deathblow is coming anytime soon, so we adapt to the circumstances or just suffer even more and even more pointlessly. At least we have growing unionization as some kind of power growing parity tool. For the forseeable future, the best we can hope for is unionization+ voting+more floyd uprising events when things get especially dire to force the dems to throw crumbs at us or the entire country burns.

I apologize but WI hasn't been doing well for a bit. We're trying to recover from bad poo poo. Scott Walker.

WI's abortion ban came like 170 years ago. So it, by default, went into effect when they overturned RvW. It is illegal here. Michels, the GOP trump backed challenger, said that it is "not unreasonable" to force a raped girl to give birth.

Also if democrats don't get voted in, republicans just make sure that future voting just will not occur. The amount of damage republicans have done and will do in the course of an election cycle far outweighs whatever kind of message you can send to dem leadership. I loving hate this fake right wing democratic pageantry too but the alternative is turning into a russian style eternal conservative right wing hell hole that can only innovate new ways to torture its population.

Growing up the coolest water park in the Dells was explicitly biblical.

Directly. Like, hands on their chest directly. That's physical, at the moment, trying to help someone. It's immediate and you have to do what you can right away. You know?

Politics doesn't work like that. It's a slow game. So many loving "leftists" think that if they don't get what they want immediately then it's over and everything is lost. Change doesn't happen immediately, unless you have a literal insurrection (which the right tried). How do you think the right got so far right? A gradual stoking of fear, doubt anger, and hatred.

This is not a loving win or lose game right away. Do your god drat duty and try to pull things farther to the left. Anyone who thinks this is so black and white is a loving moron. Your local municipal building clerk can be elected. They can handle your votes.

You vote for someone leftish, then (since you age, as time works) you vote for someone more left than them. You can see where I'm going with this. If you can't then after that lefter person is voted in, then you can vote for a farther left person.

You will never get your perfect candidate. Ever. I promise you. But you can help us move things in the right direction. I'm in this in the long haul bitches. I want the generation following me to have it better than I did. I have a nephew that I love. He needs a better world than me.
