Comments you can hear

On its own, it isn’t much. But anything bringing more attention to this shit adds up, and as we saw with the midterms, that matters

It brought attention in the form of articles like this one

LMAO holy shit I just saw his edit, he thinks we’re the same person 😂 he cannot fathom that more than one person might downvote him

all the bad shit that’s been happening the last couple of decades

Buddy, if you weren’t at least mainly talking about MAGA here, then I guess that means you prefer the way they do it

Smart, otherwise you’d be absolutely swamped

So just because I disagreed with you (or thought you were a fucking moron not worth the time it would take to refute your shit) you typed up a response calling me out?

Do you do that to everyone who downvotes you without comment? Because if so I gotta tell you, I have a feeling you are a busy bastard

Ahhh, the secret fourth option that’s also really a vote for Trump 😂

But I’m with you on ranked choice voting, that would absolutely be a lot better. But until we have that, not choosing IS choosing

Ok, but if you had to choose between:

Trump again, or someone from his inner circle,

a Democrat that isn’t ideal but that is at least saying they want to undo the damage he’s caused and try to remove him, or will at least work with the more progressive Democrats that will,

or a pie-in-the-sky candidate that, while perfect for you, has essentially zero net-appeal to most people, and doesn’t actually have a chance in hell to win?

Because I’ll tell you, in the end there are really only two options there, and only one of them is actually against Trump

Oh wow, so you called me out by name because I downvoted you?? 😂 The absolute fragility…

Did you see this one too?

…what? Do I know you? 😅 I don’t think we’ve ever actually interacted. Unless you thought you were on another one of your accounts or something…

But just to humor you, yes obviously a lot of established Democrats are shitty, and have done shitty things, and rarely undo shitty things they could have. But you cannot seriously compare them with an out-in-the-open cabal of fascists and child-rapists. That is orders of magnitudes worse, and the US has been in free fall since they took over (again).

I don’t pretend to know all the answers, I don’t claim that certain things will happen, all I ever advocate for is to make changes where we can, usually by voting, and continuing to have hope that we can move toward a better future. Massive change cannot happen overnight, and before we get to a fully progressive government, we have to go back to an actual functioning democracy first. These midterms are the first step toward that, and with the amount of progressives getting elected, and the shear number of seats turning from red to blue, it was more of a success than most people even dared to hope for.

If you or anyone else has problems with that, or casts doubt or aspersions on it or on people celebrating this win, then I have to question what your end-goal really is

That’s why I always write in the name of the person I think would do it best, even if they aren’t running 😤

Absolute clown

Just cut Florida off and let it drift out to sea. It’s gonna be underwater soon anyway

Fuck off, nobody likes a defeatist shitbird

“I’m taking karate classes online…”

I want it as much as you do

Then stay positive and don’t be a defeatist. They want you to think that they’re untouchable and we can’t win, so don’t give it to them
