    not repeating over and over again

    suffering through the Democrat/Republican rule over and over again worse every year

    and every time a glimmer of hope shines through we have the corporate parties to shut it out

    remember when the two parties chained a presidential candidate to a chair because they were afraid of someone else on the debate floor

    elections have turned into a political soap opera with two people bashing each other

        Shitting on Biden is the only strategy Trump supporters actually have. It’s not like Trump stands for anything they can say out loud.

      I don’t remember the parties chaining a candidate to a chair. I know you’re not talking about Jill Stein as that would be a gross mischaracterization. It would be like me saying she was a paid agent of Putinist Russia.

      With that, the 2012 Green party presidential ticket moved back into the road and sat down, refusing to move. After ignoring calls to get out of the way of the flow of traffic, they were arrested.

      It’s easy to act flippant and cynical online but it’s hard to propose actual solutions that are viable and, most importantly, put in the work year round.

      Here’s the reality: In november it’s trump or biden. That’s it. That’s how it is. And we all know that trump is objectively the worse option. So let’s deal with reality. When the election is over we’ve got another 4 years to figure it out before the next national election.

      This shit takes work. I’m tired of people saying nothing matters for 6-8mo just complaining endlessly then disappearing for 3.5 years and doing absolutely nothing to help push better candidates and policies in the interim. I don’t know what you do personally but this is generally how people operate and it’s not productive.
