Literally all you post is political rage-bait. How is the weather in Russia these days comrade?
This kind of shit is exactly what Russia wants. Divide the US, push violence, destabilize the country. We have paths forward that do not involve violence. Now is the time to push for ranked choice voting to allow 3rd party candidates a real chance. The DNC has been out of touch for years, and ranked choice voting will allow us to side step them and choose a candidate with a real chance.
Start small and local. Connect with your local representatives. Have a conversation about ranked choice voting. Come up with a plan that we can achieve together to make this a reality.
Every time I hear about this ranked choice voting wish:
It's a good idea but it's so frought with controversy. I've yet to see the momentum needed to force it through. Like, show me you can orginiaze a national, or even just statewide, strike and I'll start believing.
The fact that we have this tool that no one will even look at is so discouraging. Show these Trumpers what a failed economy looks like when the people on rhe raw side of the deal throw their hands up.
That's exactly why we need to start small and local, grass roots.
I think I've suggested that recently. Yeah. I mean. I'd ditch the DNC if you went that route. They will hold you back.
You don't get it. The Russians are getting what they want because the DNC has done nothing to stop it. You can keep fighting uphill and I'll continue to lend my vote but you get nothing else. Sorry.
If you want my suggestion don't put your political capital into the DNC. They dont know how to spend it. Form a new party and make them suffer. Tea partiers did it and reshaped the GOP. You won't have the funding of right wing billionaires at first but if you get enough momentum they will be pouring in to try and shape things.
It's all for naught though, once you start getting cheated out of every victory you fight for you'll start sharpening the knife too.
