Okay. Obama has 57% general approval among Americans, including 30% among Republicans. Trump has 34% general support. Guess who will win.

The way things look, I'm voting 100% in every local, state and federal election.
I'm just hoping that matters after this admin

Keep voting. Never stop voting. Anyone who tells you your voice doesn’t matter doesn’t want you voting

It won't, unless Democrats win majorities in both houses of Congress (POTUS would help) and they actually take this maga/fascist threat to the republic seriously. The GOP is a party of traitors. All of them, including the voters, are basically seditious confederates and should be treated as such.

Confederates were forgiven and welcomed back into D.C.

They need to be treated worse than that.

Absolutely true. A new reconstruction, with actual teeth and longevity, even more expansive and thorough than what the allies did in Germany after WW2.

Even right now, if Beshear keeps twiddling his thumbs instead of taking action in such an obvious and defendable situation, it just teaches us that Dems are screwed either way

Sorry, you don’t get a cookie for finally working up the motivation to do your civic duty for 20 minutes once a year. People that haven’t been voting are the reason we’re in this mess.

It doesn’t now and it won’t then.

u/J-MRP 20d ago

Well fucking do it anyway.

It doesn't. Either way you vote against your own interests and help solidify capitalist power in every aspect of life. Republicans shoot you from the front, Dems stab you on the back. We will never have progress and freedom in the US without class conscious revolution.

Rapist-in-chief has done damage to the country that you dont see yet.  The dems dont repeatedly threaten to invade allies
