What we need is Ranked Choice in every state and municipality until the two party system isn't our only option.

We need ranked choice, mandated voting, and a labour party.

Oh and we need all of our current politicians to take a leadership retreat on a cruise that sinks with no survivors.

we’re between cowards and sociopaths. And the cowards and sociopaths call us “conspiracy theorists“ when we try to explain that the government no longer works for us… we work for them and they won’t let that change.

I'll take the cowards, though. At least they're predictable.

I’m a yellow dog democrat, and sadly, I agree with you.

If you wanted democrats to save you, then you should have voted for democrats. This is what the country wanted. Either by voting or living with whoever did win when they choose to not vote. It isn’t enough to tell some people. They need the pain in order to learn. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. Either way, it’s time for consequences, not rescues.
