I’m just this guy, you know? Except on Lemmy.

Meanwhile Republicans have a 136 page blueprint ready to go when they take office to undo all of that. And when one steps out of line they take them behind the woodshed to keep the party in lock step.
I never said they were the same. I said Republicans are wayyyy better at getting their shit done.
It’s only going to get worse
if people decide that voting doesn’t matter
FTFY
And both sides aren’t the same. Republicans are clearly way better at winning elections and implementing their platform.
I vote all the time and Democrats don’t give a shit what I want.
Been doing that ever since I could vote.
It isn’t helping.
Both sides aren’t the same.
Republicans are much better at getting things done and winning elections.
Oh it’s so simple! I just need to raise a few hundred million dollars and run myself! Why didn’t I think of that?!
The amount of progress that was made has never, in my entire 40+ years of existence, been enough. And it will never be enough because Democrats lose power every couple years because they’re not an organized political party and don’t bother doing things that will ensure people’s lives are substantively affected by it.
Then the Republicans win and undo all the progress, and Democrats get to whine about how they can’t stop it because they’re not in the majority, unlike how the Republicans get their way when they’re in the minority.
I’m not gonna stop voting, though, because each election, no matter who wins, shows how awful this country really is and how fucked we are.
Except I vote every time and I still feel like I lose every time regardless of who wins because I don’t actually support the people I vote for.
The neat part about voting is that even if you do it you can get fascism if the rest of the country are a bunch of fucking idiots.
The Democrats didn’t do shit for gay marriage. That was the Supreme Court.
Also, Nixon created the EPA.
Now if we can convince that side to then use the victory to change the rules, then so be it.
The democrats are only in power for at most two years, and that’s assuming there’s no quislings like Lieberman or Fetterman or Manchin or Sinema in them. So they’ve barely got enough votes to move the needle on anything, and voting is low on the priority list.
And after two years the Republicans win one or both houses of Congress and maybe the presidency, and then undo everything.
This has been repeating my entire life, and now it’s getting to the fascist endgame.
The system itself is broken and failing. It’s not going to help us.

If you focus the light correctly they’re not bad.
The problem is folks put new LED bulbs in old fixtures designed for non-led bulbs. These scatter light everywhere and annoy people. Plus they have to be even brighter because the light isn’t focused where it needs to go.
That America is the best and most free country in the world.

Silly lemming, consequences are for poors!
And they have a British nanny and French maid.

I’m not saying it’s a good thing. It’s a symptom of the concentration of wealth.
But if you’re a politician and want a quick, popular, short-term solution you get quicker effects giving the big spenders more money. It would be better to lift everyone, but that takes a lot more work.
Which is what’s been happening for decades, and has gotten us into this mess. We’ve been kicking a lot of cans and we’re running out of road.
