Certainly easier to convince them than career politicians at the national level

To be fair, Florida almost passed it with 57%. The only reason it didn’t pass was because Florida requires a 60% majority to pass a measure.

This is statistically in line with every other state that passed a similar measure.

It sucks it didn’t happen, but that is still an incredible display of progress in Florida.

Exactly. What did it accomplish? Jack shit.

The way to affect change in elections apparently is to unite the larger population around a single person/cause/issue. We just need to find ours and convince enough people.

Personally, I just want a country where we actually let people different than us live and prosper. Why the fuck is that such a hard thing to have???

I have family and friends that are POC, gay, trans, and/or physically/mentally disabled. Why should they have to put up with policies and leaders that vilify them for simply being who they are?

Why do we accept normalized medical debt?

Why do we accept a constantly eroding education system?

Why do we not scale minimum wage consistent to inflation?

I know the real answers, but I think more of the population needs to vote based on the results of them asking themselves why this is the norm and find the candidate willing to fix that shit.

I have a feeling it won’t be an establishment Democrat.

The answer to obstruction at every level of government is to push back at every level of government then.

That means getting involved in local government. You. Me. Us. All of us. Starting now.

True but nothings going to happen until we both demand it and actually do something about it.

The time to be hopeful that one of the major parties has an awakening is over.

I don’t have all the answers, I just know the DNC lost my confidence.

Gotta fight fire with fire at some point.

Or we can make a fire extinguisher

As much as I agree I don’t see it happening unfortunately.

More on the “fuck the DNC get locally active in politics and coalesce around a better party and candidate” side atm. They’ve had too many chances.

So beat them at their own game?

As long as it’s referred to as an official act by Biden the rest doesn’t really matter, right SCOTUS?
