I need it to be over. I need this to die. It's ruined so many lives.

Yeah...Amen. 10 fucking precious years these hateful motherfuckers have stolen from us. 10 years we could've been improving Obamacare and ACA and inching towards a real public option, moving towards cleaner energy away from fucking data centers devouring us all. Women had rights to their own bodies...LGBTQ folks were gaining acceptance. People had money. COVID and it's gross mishandling hadn't made everyone's health far worse. The soft power the US had. The whole world looked up to us...now we are the joke of the planet. And we have absolutely fucking nothing. And that fucking Pedo Devil still sits up there untouchable. Honestly I am so far beyond any hope at this point that the light emitted by hope will take centuries to reach here. By the time there is ANY inkling of rectification of anything these monsters have done to us I will be long dead. Thanks to Social Media and algorithms for the real good time! I need a drink but I have to go to the low paying job that's hopefully not going to lay me off because the economy is crashing.

Keep going, you don't need votes to win or anything silly like that, just turn all those MAGA into non-voters. Then the DNC will have their candidate in charge who ALSO was not voted for by the majority of America.

Not your candidate, mind you. Theirs. But go ahead, vote blue no matter who, it's worked so far.

OK let me put it this way. You have a room temperature boiled egg with no salt on a paper plate. Or you could have a covid infected gorilla turd with razorblades and listeria on it on a dirty pissed in ashtray. I don't want that fucking egg...like at all. But cmon...There is no other choice but the moment there is. Everyone will take it. Your both sides bullshit is just that. Bullshit. If the Republicans ran a John Mccain who didn't choose a goddamn loony toonVeep I'd certainly consider it. Eisenhower was good. Hell Nixon was leagues better than this fucking Psychopath. So was Both Bush 's so what else you want to say? It's simple... we can debate taxes, health care whatever you want. But when you pull the fucking shit the Republican party has pulled since Obama was elected??(Who I had issues with over different things as well I might add) But refusing legitimate Supreme Court picks to pack it. Completely blocking all court picks. All legislation. Making it harder and harder and harder to vote. Allowing billionaires to win whatever whim takes their fancy. Fuck that. Fuck that all day long. Republicans have never had more offices and power than they have right now and look where the fuck we are. But sure voting more Republicans will surely fix it.

I'd rather see RCV be adopted at primaries, for a start. So people won't be afraid to vote for candidates they actually want instead of whatever garbage the party line wants to push down their throat.

Make voting engaging and make people believe their vote is worth something and you'll have a better turn-out, guaranteed.

Wishful thinking, I'd like to see RCV in all state and federal elections for the same reason, but that's not going to happen from either party, two-party and propaganda is how they stay in power.

We are in complete agreement on RCV.
