The dnc is just controlled opposition. The Democratic Party is the only chance to push the country left but the establishment is working against it and these old fucking ghouls are the elite still and much closer to their Republican “counterparts” than they are to us.

We have to vote the dinosaurs out of office, if we ever get to vote again.

If someone who has been in office doing their job for decades and still hasn't changed much .... why does anyone expect them to do anything different now?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

No one does. That's why they need to go.

Dodgy governments as per usual.

They're not meek. They're pusillanimous. Or pusies for short. Intentionally misspelled.

At some point the people will have to use their check on power. The second Amendment.

Warner and Kaine have both said they intend to vote no. Unfortunately there's no chance my congressional district is going to do anything other than give Trump carte blanche.

So like... what the fuck even happens in a government shutdown?
How does power shift when that happens?

[–] WHARRGARBL 11 points 6 days ago (2 children)

That’s my question, too. How does a shutdown suddenly give the reavers more power to destroy? I mean, they’re already tanking everything.

Reading about the funding bill, it also seems to include dismantling of some checks and balances.
They're probably fucked either way, I just don't know enough to tell which is worse.
Seeing as both Bernie, AOC and federal workers' unions agree to vote no on that one, they're probably on to something.
Idk, I don't live in a failed state
