Agreed. Those fuckers are rich enough to treat workers fairly. Full stop.

Well first we need an overwhelming blue wave so the GOP in its current form collapses.

I don’t know where you’ve been for the last 40 years, but the Democrats are not a progressive party. Look at all of the things that happened when Biden had power that they did nothing meaningful to stop: Roe repeal, cop cities, 2+ trillion for war, child genocide in Israel, rent/grocery/energy bills skyrocketing.

You have to ask me to ignore the daily realities of my life under Joe Biden in order for me to honestly assume Kamala or Trump will do anything meaningful to help people.

He dropped his campaign for the same reason Pete and Elizabeth dropped out and endorsed Joe Biden, who was polling lower than they were.

Favors. (Or as I like to think of them, bribes)

Are you really ignoring that, no matter who we elect, we get conservative politics?

Thank you for the reply and the info. I’ll read up on them.

There is no viable candidate

I’ve seen this phrase thrown around a lot this year, which is funny to me, because the ruling parties spent most of this election season stage managing campaign appearances for men who are obviously cognitively impaired.

That said what matters most is the down ballot.

100%.

Here in Missouri we have an abortion ban and a $15 minimum wage on the ballot, so no matter who you support, your vote makes a huge difference in this election.

At the federal level, none of us have any power, because you get presented with two flavors of the same choice, both of whom have been installed by the 0.01% and will actively work against the interests of the poor and working class; However, in your town, city, and county, you do have tremendous power for change.

What split the leftists was that time when the Democrats used superdelegates to rig the primary against Bernie Sanders. Nothing kills the Democratic vote more than telling democrats their vote is useless in historic fashion, and in fact, he’s the last candidate Democrats had that could actually connect with people in a tangible way.

I’ll tell you.

Jill Stein. If she’s not on the ballot in your state, write her in. She’s the candidate of the Green Party.

It takes minimal effort to look up the 3rd party candidates in a presidential election.

I’ve always appreciated the irony of Eisenhower speaking out about the MIC, but only after he led a historic expansion of the US nuclear arsenal.

This two-faced bullshit is part of our national identity.

They are an anti-democratic sham.

We saw that twice with how the Democrats treated Bernie. And when the DNC was sued for it, they argued publicly in court in Florida that it’s their right to rig primaries.

The question isn’t “Will the third party voters stop commenting after Nov. 6?”

The question is “Which side will blame third party voters for the shitty campaign their candidate ran?”.

And both are going to ignore that they literally spent most (or all) of election season running a candidate that was obviously cognitively impaired.

I don’t know that a screenshot of twitter is proof of anything, especially after the proliferation of AI.

But, go read about the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. Even if I’m wrong in my opinion, you’ll learn some new things.

Yes.

The Pope has that power. Pretty much always has, but it was far more pronounced before universal literacy was a thing.

Monstrous. Just monstrous.

Hell yes.

Enjoy that pumpkin, king.

It Follows is pretty timeless. (intentionally so, by the director.)

It’s just fun.

I went to my dentist appointment in a Jack Sparrow costume today. The dentist was dressed as a tooth and his staff were tooth ferries.

It’s just dumb, wonderful fun.

That kitty is fully cognizant of their own majesty.
