The Lesser Evil

Dems are beholden to billionaires. They just don’t want to be as obvious as Republicans.

It’s not liberals versus conservatives.

It’s the rich versus the rest.

There’s a lot more of us than there are of them.

A Crazy Scandal with a Competent Press, Maybe

Reply in thread

I’m sure it seems like that from the outside. There’s so many of us inside that are fully sick of this, but we also all feel helpless for a number of reasons.

Nobody wants to be alone in making the first move of outward revolution.

None of us can afford to take a week off, much less the foreseeable future off to plan and execute any kind of meaningful action.

Once we lose our job from participating in said action, we don’t have healthcare anymore.

We’ve got to be so far past the point of no return that the status quo can’t continue before most people will be able to do anything.

Combine that with the press hiding most of this from the people, and people still wanting to hold out hope for…something…and you’re where we are at.

I’m crossing my fingers that the midterms (or lack thereof) will be the turning point.
