    its hilarious that people still think “going through the proper channels” is going to work. you’re playing a game with someone who has cheats activated. playing by the rules aint gonna work if the guy you’re playing against rewrites the rules whenever he feels like.

      Nah, you’re presenting it as if he’s got some sort of magical powers. Anything he does can be used against him, and there have been wins through proper channels. This stupid immunity he enjoys ends the moment people stop glorifying him.

      Sure, hopeless. It’s understandable. But we got in a few times and we can do it again if we unite. A clear platform, a slate of dedicated candidates and some breakthrough messaging. It CAN be done.

      The bad news is we actually have to do it. The corporate news isn’t going to help until it makes them money.

      If democratic voters can’t even get motivated enough to fill out a piece of paper (or press a button on a screen), how do you expect there to be enough motivation for a revolt?
