  Not if you support and vote for your local Mandami. Theyre out there, just needing the right local conditions: create them. Get 3-5 friends and take over your local democratic organization

    I hear you, fellow pleb, and I was ardently politically active for decades —until, at a protest vs Bush Jr’s use of his appointed judges to put him back in office, I witnessed 4 swat pigs hogtie a 13yr old girl that was walking by the scene, and huck her in the wagon like a sack. (they also shot a senior vet w/ a “less than lethal” round in the crotch, etc. when he tried to tell them it was a “sit in”).

    I try to help wherever and however I can, but I’m pretty spent at this point after all these years of burning hard toward a dream, to be frank. 🥲🙇🏼‍♂️ I give what I can these days, but it’s a fraction of what I used to give with exuberance and glowing hope inside.

      I get it. I’m much less active then I was too. Just gotta find ways to improve our local community, and not be the resistance for the new energy.

        Truth. I wish you luck, neighbor! I’m thinking I’ll stick to game nights and social fulfillment for a while. If it all goes to shit, at least I’ll have good memories of the way down. Besides, I’m tired of shadowboxing with fucknuts, ya know?

    And you would be a complete moron to vote for socialism.

      It is refreshing to see someone saying something so purely stupid once a while. Good job!

      Ah, you think having Andrew Cuomo or Curtis Salewa would have been more reasonable? What policy of Mandami’s do you not support? Do you think people having access to food is a bad thing?

    lol. If voting made a difference, it would be illegal by now.

      If voting didn’t make a difference, they wouldn’t be trying this hard to make it hard to vote
