Good. Fuck those fascists.
But but but the folks from lemmygrad told me voting cant do anything against fascists and I shouldn't waste my time and should organize a revolution instead.
Fuck the republicans, but if you're only voting that's not going to help you when these shitheads get to the point of dragging people out of their houses and disappearing them. All my girlfriends are getting strapped and organizing self-defense.
Hell yeah, love to hear it, i just wish my mental health was sound enough to let me stay strapped. Sold all my firearms after my father took his life. If you or your girlfriends ever have ideations, please leave your arms with a trusted comrade.
Some of the biggest hurdles are having to interact with the police to even get a license to carry. Plus it's expensive. Plenty of people opt to just learn to shoot, borrowing from friends.
Turns out most Americans really aren’t on board with the whole flagrant bigotry and bullying LGBTQ teenagers via capturing school boards thing.
Most aren't but far,, FAR too many are still pushing for it. Stay vigilant.
This. I am in a solidly blue district. 4 out of the 7 school board candidates, ALL of the non-incumbents, were running on some sort of "family values" or "parents' rights" platform. But their statements to media were highly scrubbed because they know to tread carefully and avoid the dog whistles. One of them unseated an incumbent (and the only POC in the group) yesterday. I'm glad the trend is going in the right direction nationally. But I wouldn't call for a victory lap just yet.
Those losers losing is delicious
They lost every local campaign. Every school board race had some skinwalker cloaked as parental rights and my fairly progressive city saw right through them.
Kentucky loves a Democratic governor
Cause it isn't decided by an electoral college and is harder to gerrymander against
But no democratic senator stands a chance.
West Virginia and Montana exist. Kentucky is a former deep blue state too. I think they just have to be DINO and contrarian. Not saying it’s easy, but growing up I wouldn’t have thought deep south Georgia would elect two democratic senators.
I’m just saying it’s weird that a democratic governor almost always wins, but a democratic senator never wins. Seems like their senators are juggernauts. Maybe if they left, a democrat would stand a better chance.
Indeed. I haven’t written off any of these states, maybe not for next year, but in coming years… but then maybe I’m a hopeless optimistic.
Cunts of Libertea
Maybe they'll have more time for mulching their faces.
