“Not perfect”

You can get that knitted on a pillow in November when the facade of fascism becomes an overt reality to which the Democrats escorted us with false promises.

We don’t have universal health care.

The school loan forgiveness was exceedingly niche, and since Biden could have forgiven all student loans unilaterally, I’m not willing to pretend it was a major achievement. The man just rearranged deck chairs on the Titanic.

What health care?

Obamacare only covers you if you can afford to be price gouged.

I definitely didn’t expect the oligarchy to go the useful idiot route either, but man, when you can elect an idiot as useful as Donald Trump, I figure they feel pretty well empowered.

People didn’t vote for Biden because they supported his agenda. He was the fifth least-popular candidate in 2020, barely ahead of “Mike” Bloomberg.

The DNC promised favors to the other candidates in exchange for dropping out and endorsing Biden, because in their minds it was better to have a brain-dead candidate than risk nominating a socialist.

And now fascism’s here.

So go vote and it doesn’t matter if they’re tepid bitches.

You’re right.

It doesn’t. We’ve seen over the last forty years that it doesn’t matter who you vote for. We get a conservative. They rule as a conservative, and because of that, fascism is inevitable.

Turns out pretending to be an opposition party is wildly profitable. What other job is there where you can work four months out of the year, make millions, and all you have to do is just make a few promises to your district’s peons and then claim you’re powerless to fulfill them?

Get your stickers from Vinyl Disorder instead.

Way better product.

Agreed. I love that.

It’s a shame people can’t be trusted to act responsibly and such measures are necessary, but it’s nice that some places care to do it.

Agreed. It’s a fabulous idea, but I’m pretty sure only one state awards electoral votes proportionally.

With 2/3 of the states controlled by fascists and their enablers, it is sadly never going to happen.

We are not in a democracy, no matter how much people love to use the D word.
