"Why should I bother voting if I live in a blue state?"

In 2024 Becca Balint received over twice the votes that her R opponent got. Because she has such a mandate, she can afford to speak with moral clarity on issues that Dems from purple districts are scared to touch. This matters.

How about including participation in an insurrection against our democracy?

Some republicans are in that group as well.

Pretty lousy statistics however.

Ummm sure. This is your breaking news as my life savings are draining away.

OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.
