    Seeing this shit every day is what’s going to push me over the edge. Nothing is ever going to go back to boring politicians unless we slap these dudes in their bare butt, back, and balls. They’ll just keep doing this illegal shit until someone physically stops them.

      This just shows how unpopular they know they really are. And hopefully that there is still a chance for a fair election next year… I’m taking all this to mean that they are scared of losing power and what that will mean for their plans so they are doing this desperately sketchy illegal shit.

      Hopefully they overplayed their hand, the people will show up to vote and smack them down with a nice ‘mandate’, and we can start arresting everyone starting at the top.

        Sorry bro, there is approximately 0% chance of voting our way out at this point. By all means, show up and vote if you’re able. But please also start thinking about what else you can do to resist the authoritarian regime.

          I am every day, but I still try to have hope that somehow our deeply flawed country will somehow work its way out of this without guns and bloodshed. Maybe just a little bit.

        One problem is there don’t seem to be a lot of strong left wing candidates. There’s Zohran for NYC mayor, and… AOC I think is a mixed but on the whole good bag, I think? Sanders is like a million years old, but could be worse.

          Lot of newbies entering the fray in time for next year’s elections. Problem is many of them are dark horse. Could be the next Zohran, or could be the next Kirsten Sinema…

          I’d still rather gamble on someone at least claiming to be left wing populist, but just don’t get too mad when some of them do an about face after getting into office.

      Yeah, pretty much. We’re nearing the point of necessity of underground resistance groups…and they’ll try to tell you you’re a terrorist and so is your group. But, make no mistake, its projection. These asshats in charge right now are the terrorists, and fascist dickwads trying to tear down the entire system we’ve built over the last 250 years. Stay safe, and try not to get yourself killed.
