How do we do all of that and get rid of the gerrymandering and stuff? Right now it doesn't feel possible but... I don't know, I forgot where I was going with this. ~Cherri

Sorry about that, I wasn't doing too well last night. I'm just worried with how people like Ron DeSantis and Trump are just able to try doing a fascist coup and try to commit genocide against trans people with no legal consequences for either. Ron DeSantis tried (and failed, but still tried) to build his own personal paramilitary for god's sake. And yet he's still able to maintain power like none of that happened. It's terrifying. ~Cherri

Enough support among other politicians within the Democratic Party to get them to pass this stuff if they have a majority? ~Cherri

I already use Firefox. I'm just confused as to what's wrong with Ungoogled Chromium. ~Cherri

Why can't we do more than one thing at the same time? Why not try to make things better than before and prevent the fascists (they're not "crazy", fasciam isn't caused by mental illness) from taking over? I mean things being as terrible as they are for the working class right now is a pretty major factor in rhe recent rise in fascism, so really you have to do the former to do the latter, otherwise it won't work. You have to meaningfully improve things to combat fascism. So what are we supposed to do to get things like UBI; single-payer M4A; a voting system better than first past the post, student debt cancellation and free college tuition; codification of the Convention of the Rights of the Child, queer civil rights, and Roe v. Wade, and other progressive policies to actually be implemented?... ~Cherri

What do we do to get out of this nightmare? Like... Specifically? How do we get the far-right to... Stop being far-right I guess? How do we get things built? How do we get good things to happen rather than, at best, stopping some bad thing from happening for at least a bit? It feels like that's all we've been getting on a federal level lately... ~Cherri

The current two-party system we have is god awful. We can't leave it like this. What are we supposed to do? How do you propose we get single-payer M4A? UBI? Green New Deal? Free college tuition? Ratifying the Convention on the Rights of the Child? Codifying the rights of queer people? Codifying Roe v Wade? What specifically are we supposed to do about this if voting doesn't work? Am I missing something here? How do we get out of this nightmare? ~Cherri

So how are we supposed to actually get a genuinely progressive candidate in? And we can't just leave things with the terrible two-party system we have. What's the alternative other than "Vote lesser evil! Maybe we'll get someone good rather than just not terrible eventually!"? Am I missing something here? ~Cherri

How so? What's wrong with Ungoogled Chromium (besides it being Chromium)?

Decisions are not always good. ~Cherri
