Entering? You mean no longer hiding it.

This is what you allow to happen by sitting on your ass.

Over the past ten years, I’ve voted, donated, volunteered, organized, protested, called my representatives, and more. I’ve done anything but sit on my ass and let this happen. And a lot of other people who have done the same are being hurt now, and even more will be hurt before this is over. So thank you for being smug, it’s really going to help us now.

It takes way more work to build something than tear it down. Keep it up!

I fear that standard civics and activism isn’t going to be enough. The culture has to shift away from cults and individualistic myths.

This is what happens when you invite Liz Cheney into the campaign. Truly a winning strategy.

But we saved Gaza from Kamala. Didn’t we?

As you lot love to point out, there was never a question about either candidate restraining AIPAC and saving gaza, merely the possibility of taking the DNC to the woodshed so they wouldnt hold their voters hostage again. We are still working on that-- its far from over. If you think we are all just going to do what we are told because of your nagging, you havent been watching the polls. The opposite is happening. The Democratic brand has never been so loathed in its entire existence, so heck of a job on that. And whats your answer to that? Double down on being wrong. Keep digging deeper. I wonder how that will turn out.

At least no centrist had to vote against the genocide they dearly love.
