    Good. Fucking vote more. Vote for progressives that will actually try to undo the damage republicans have done, it ain’t enough to vote for neoliberals who want to leave shit exactly as fucked up as it currently is, that’s just waiting between times republicans get to fuck shit up. Because half ass neoliberals aren’t enough to consistently keep republicans out of office.
