    I can name some of them. You probably recognize them.

    • Mike Johnson
    • Marjorie Greene
    • Mitch McConnell
    • Jacob Frey
    • Leonard Leo

    Nowhere did I say I wasn’t voting. Voting is the least effective method of change that exists, but it’s still a method. I will still be participating because it can lead to minor changes. If you think that defeating fascism can be done by voting once every 4 years however, you will be played.

      I’m glad that you participate. Voting is the easiest and most direct method of change.

      And yeah, it can be defeated by voting (every 2 years, for primaries too) if you have enough people to join. It’s unfortunate that there are enough cynics who don’t participate who could make real change if they did.

      Every time Trump’s judges make another radical ruling, I’m reminded that people stayed home. And now pregnant women aren’t safe in red states, just as one example.

        It never has been. Even in France with the left coalition, Macron has been courting the fascist right.
