I agree: Everyone is terrible.
I’m just this guy, you know? Except on Lemmy.

Meanwhile Republicans have a 136 page blueprint ready to go when they take office to undo all of that. And when one steps out of line they take them behind the woodshed to keep the party in lock step.
I never said they were the same. I said Republicans are wayyyy better at getting their shit done.
It’s only going to get worse
if people decide that voting doesn’t matter

And both sides aren’t the same. Republicans are clearly way better at winning elections and implementing their platform.
I vote all the time and Democrats don’t give a shit what I want.
Been doing that ever since I could vote.
It isn’t helping.
Both sides aren’t the same.
Republicans are much better at getting things done and winning elections.
Oh it’s so simple! I just need to raise a few hundred million dollars and run myself! Why didn’t I think of that?!
The amount of progress that was made has never, in my entire 40+ years of existence, been enough. And it will never be enough because Democrats lose power every couple years because they’re not an organized political party and don’t bother doing things that will ensure people’s lives are substantively affected by it.
Then the Republicans win and undo all the progress, and Democrats get to whine about how they can’t stop it because they’re not in the majority, unlike how the Republicans get their way when they’re in the minority.
I’m not gonna stop voting, though, because each election, no matter who wins, shows how awful this country really is and how fucked we are.
Except I vote every time and I still feel like I lose every time regardless of who wins because I don’t actually support the people I vote for.
The neat part about voting is that even if you do it you can get fascism if the rest of the country are a bunch of fucking idiots.
The Democrats didn’t do shit for gay marriage. That was the Supreme Court.
Also, Nixon created the EPA.
Now if we can convince that side to then use the victory to change the rules, then so be it.
The democrats are only in power for at most two years, and that’s assuming there’s no quislings like Lieberman or Fetterman or Manchin or Sinema in them. So they’ve barely got enough votes to move the needle on anything, and voting is low on the priority list.
And after two years the Republicans win one or both houses of Congress and maybe the presidency, and then undo everything.
This has been repeating my entire life, and now it’s getting to the fascist endgame.
The system itself is broken and failing. It’s not going to help us.
A brilliant, topless lawyer taught me that it is unethical and illegal to involve people in your kink without their consent, so even if it gets them off they’re not allowed to do it.

If you want land you have to buy it from the government on an annual basis unless you have sufficient arms and production to keep their thugs out.

One of the things I like about Linux is the feeling of likely being eaten by a grue
A little rail cart on a winch would work quite nicely.
As usual, the answer to the transportation problem is a train.
To be fair it’s a Nissan
