So many posts to digest π
. You've given me some food for thought. Now those thoughts need untangling and vetting so I can share them in a way that makes sense.
Stay where you're to, I'll come where you're at.
In a day or two. I'm slow. Sorry.
The future wasn't bright. But at least it was far away.
And that was good enough for us.

I hope you get your democracy back. For your sake, so you have a chance to build the party you want, for the sake of my friends and relatives there with you. And for the sake of your allies and partners around the world.
I'm sharpening my skates and have my elbows up.
Not 2025 Trump. Agent Krasnov's been doing Moscow's bidding for decades.
And don't forget his "perfect phone call" with Zelenskyy in his first term, 2018 or 2019
It's possible the Dems might stop selling Bibi his killing machinery, but the political will both from a national and from a geopolitical standpoint isn't there at the moment and won't come at the speed you want.
Despite having a small group of progressives, Dems aren't on the left.
You're trying to insist that the Dems become another party. In the middle of a very tight election campaign. Not the way life works.
If you want a single issue party, then start one and convince your fellow citizens to vote for you...
Oh, oopsie. Not really an option under an autocratic ruler π€·ββοΈ
That venomous sack of expired Lunchables and excrement currently ruling your country is in bed with Moscow.
He has done nothing for Ukraine (every bit of aid that's been delivered since Jan 20 was appropriated under Biden).
What he does is try to extort and backstab Kyiv.
At risk of being repetitive:
THERE WAS NO OPTION TO STOP BIBI WITH YOUR VOTE.
But there was a SINGLE option on the ballot that would have allowed you to retain your right to pressure your government to do better.
And apropos complicity, look up the Budapest Memorandum. Washington and Moscow pressured Ukraine to give up its nuclear stockpile. In return, they pinky promised ("assured" was the word, i think) to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and come to her aid in case of an attack.

But you lot and MAGGATs hate the Dems more than you love your constitutional rights.
I guess some genocides are deserving of having hearts bleed, others not π€·ββοΈ
So f the American seniors who will lose access to social security. F the people suffering from cancer who're waiting on medical testing for new treatments. F impoverished people waiting on vaccines. F disaster relief...
So instead, you voted for genocide, with a dollop of grotesquely gleeful ethnic cleansing on top.
Oooo and bonus: the demolition of USAID, a lifeline for vulnerable people the world over.
But hey, at least it's not just Palestinians dying, amiright?
Voting 3rd party or boycotting because Harris failed to everything you want exactly the way you want was singularly cruel and grossly counterproductive.
You all knew Trump wouldn't stop Bibi's rampage, so the *fairy psychotic* plan was
1) let Kamala know you hate her.
2) watch the world burn.
3) ?
