This is partially right but really the issue is non voters. There are a lot of sexist and racist people that won't vote for a black woman but will vote for a white man.

I really don't have any hope for humanity. Whether we kill ourselves from global warming or nuclear war it ends with the same result. It's too depressing to actively worry about. Better to live in the moment and ignore things I can't control.

Hopefully we will have another election but somehow I think the military and policing agencies will be turned against the general population. The first step will be removing Congress, both senate and house, and using violence to enforce it while restricting free speech and freedom of the press. Then the imprisonment of political dissenters in modern day concentration camps. After the consolidation of power is complete and free speech is truly restricted America as it was will be gone. I expect a civil war during this transition, and while that happens China, Russia, and India will all make moves to expand, with wars erupting throughout the world.

Our only hope is if the military truly believes the oaths they swore, to serve the us constitution. But really I'm not holding out to hope for that.

It was never a tenable solution.

So Dems don't turnout to vote and this is the Republican propaganda machines fault? The day the Dems actually take accountability for their continual fuckups is the day I might vote for them again.

People act where they think their actions will do something. The fact that you intuitively channel your rage at the democrats is a kind of proof that you understand the republicans are beyond hope and infinitely, infinitely more at fault.

This is something the left has to start getting right. Pointing the rage at the right place. It starts here.

What the fuck are you on? I'm mad at the Dems for refusing to play the game properly and actually gain wins.

Shut the fuck up with your psychobabble.
