We have to fight, win or lose and keep on fighting over and over again until we either get back to a representative government that is helpful rather than harmful to it's population, or they finalize their fascism and we are shot on our last attempts to stop them.

Things are getting critical in my area (as I am sure they are most other places), poverty is spreading fast as well as people getting evicted with nowhere to go, this is not a joke to some of us or a "wish for something nice, like a pony or an xbox" it is survival. More would be posted about this here but most of my financial peers are too busy trying to keep a roof overhead and food on the table if they even can afford computers or a connection to spend time posting here.

Unfortunately, to the remaining middle class white collar people and those not yet sweating actual survival it is more akin to a game of football that you and I and other first way Democrats are spoiling for them.

Comfort makes cowards of so many and hypocrites out of so many more. One thing I will say, many progressives that post here are comfortable, and are middle class, and they are neither hypocrites nor heartless, but rather fighting for the least of us, along side people like me, they remind me that good people can still be found everywhere, were it not for evidence of their existence on this site my cynicism and bitterness would haven devoured me years ago.

Fuck the GOP, fuck their half brothers the third way, and fuck the .01% psycopaths sideways with a jackhammer.



Someday, when I get angry, I'll tell you how I really feel.
