Together, we must fight for our long-held values and work with people around the world who share them

There’s not a whole hell of a lot that’s new here, but it’s important to remember that if you’re not recognizing the country we’ve known, colonialist and imperialist as it’s been over the years, you’re not alone.

    I completely disagree.

    You’re looking at a bad dog blaming the dog when it is the owners that are the problem. Voter turnout is abysmal, there is no better party coming if people don’t turn out to vote. Democrats would be decent if people voted, they don’t. This is why we’re here.

      Voter turnout is abysmal because the duopoly doesn’t represent our needs. Marginalized are still marginalized, poor are still poor, unhoused are still unhoused regardless which flavor of fascism is in power.

        Not true at all.

        There’s a ton of reasons you can argue to how we got here, unfortunate economic uncertainties that were unseen, religious zealotry and bigotry, wealth disparity sure.

        But to see slavery end, get voting rights applied to the population that deserves it, create a system that provides any degree of food and healthcare and shelter when none existed before and you’re going to continue to argue that there’s only a duopoly? They’re not doing a very good job then.

        The duopoly doesn’t exist without poor voter turnout. The poor turnout is a totally different reason.
