Goodbye sweet prince, hello world
(lemmy.world)
Like many many many refugees I'm gone with RIFs death. But still with old.reddit found myself still going back to the site on my PC with a holiday weekend.
I know I"m definitely not the oldest, but like a friend of mine and I talked, 9 years of communities, of friends, of stories for nearly a decade just got soured in a month.
So I'm here now, and admit I'm kinda lost. But hoping this is a new day.
Thank you RIF. You were singularly the most used app on my phone. You will be missed.
Thing is, it isn't "Just vote", it's being absolutely active every step of the way. Dunno what your territory is but my state we're having an absolute route of the ultra-right wing going for every local position with the Republicans national conference funding them, the Dems have considered the entire state a lost cause.
So kinda, yea, it is a pull yourself up by the bootstraps, and anyone else who you can pull up as well because we're sure as hell not getting help from the top, but it's either that or sit on our fucking hands and go "whelp". Remember, whether you like her or not, AOC primaried the supposed "2nd in command" Democrat. If you don't like the establishment, you root it out from the bottom.
