    I voted for Harris in an attempt to get a side of affirmation ribbons instead of a side of scapegoating, but Im still waiting for a vote in my lifetime to reign in the core rot and cause that Trump is merely a symptom of:

    Fundamentally changing the shape and inhuman priorities of the blight upon our nation that is our economy.

    Without that, we can vote good cop neoliberal/bad cop fascist all day. Wall Street owns all of us, thats what they pay both parties so well for. To protect the crony markets from the needs of the people as they stoke social division, amplifying social wedges to keep the markets exactly as they are, working against society and the planet for maximum short term value extraction into private portfolios.

    The Republicans are supposed to be pro-corpo over humans. That’s their brand. The Democrats have no such excuse.

        Phone banked for him on two campaigns, saw the sabotage first hand. I know it’s a no win scenario for the masses.

        In order for anything to improve, rather than voting for the speed of decline as we have for 50 years, this system must be destroyed by force, as both parties are completely captured and would rather lose elections then lose their respective corpo bribe gravy trains. Until that happens, or until climate change does it for us when it’s too late for civilization entirely in a couple decades, nothing can improve.

        I don’t consider ribbons and affirmations to be tangible improvements either. I consider universal access to quality education, commons like parks and public transit, medical care, food, and shelter to be improvements. Those are all pipedreams under the Fascists and the Neoliberals. The signature “achievement” 9f Democrats for the last half century they won’t stop crowing about was a heritage foundation conceived plan to further enshrine for profit health insurer vulture capitalists into healthcare, and it’s worked exactly as intended.

        There’s no one to vote for here. That’s not allowed. Only against in the culture battles meant to keep us at each other’s throats. This place is lost.
