i know what it's going to take

it's been really fucking easy since fucking gore v bush in 2000:

you stupid fucking lazy ass moronic americans:

YOU. NEED. TO. FUCKING. #VOTE.

if it comes to molotov cocktails then i'm throwing molotov cocktails

but that's a failure

some airhead fuckwits romanticize that bullshit

it's massive suffering!

narcissistic college sophomores cosplaying revolutionary thinking they're in a fucking movie: deeply cringe

just fucking vote shitheads

@benroyce @jm101 @xs4me2 Elmo messed with our votes!! That and Russian interference aren't helping. However I agree wholeheartedly that people need to fucking vote!!!!!!!!!

@otownKim @benroyce @jm101 @xs4me2 With respect (because I'm a poll worker and take this stuff seriously): I wish fewer people would joke about this stuff.

Elmo didn't do shit. I sat behind the table and looked at people coming in, then saw the returns that night. Even with anonymous votes, at the level of an individual polling station you can gauge the vibe of the room by the familiar faces you see and the familiar faces you don't.

People just didn't show up to vote for Harris. Period. I thought lefties had learned their lesson in 2016, but apparently I gave them too much credit and they needed to be told twice.

Funny, I was thinking exactly the same thing about the Democrat leadership and their candidates choices. The left didn't turn up, because they didn't have a candidate on the ballot. Period.

@strypey @roknrol @otownKim @benroyce @jm101 @xs4me2 It'd be cool if the left lived in a country that reflected what they wanted.

Since they don't, there's a harm-reduction choice and a harm choice, and I thought that after living the harm-choice from 2016 to 2020 the left got that when they voted for Biden and then we had four relatively-peaceful years.

But I guess not.

@mark @strypey @roknrol @otownKim @jm101 @xs4me2

it's a reason v emotion thing

you would hope people would understand cold strategy: you vote for better and you iterate

that works

but unfortunately people are an emotional mob

we can't depend upon their brains, there's not enough brains out there

we need to feed their hearts

so what we need is a real leftist candidate

more milquetoast centrist dems is the path to more maga

lazy assholes better fucking show up to the #primaries2026

@benroyce @mark @strypey @roknrol @otownKim @jm101 @xs4me2

Tax the rich and shut down Citizens United.
Take care of our vets, children, seniors and disabled.
Expand Social Security.
Save our National Parks and the Post Office.
Stop demonizing entire groups of people.
Codify an enforceable codes of ethics, for all branches.
No felons on Capitol Hill.
Stop weaponizing government departments.

Bring back Civics in school.
Be honest.

It's a simple platform.

@Darkphoenix @benroyce @mark @strypey @roknrol @otownKim @jm101 @xs4me2 I have to admit being shocked by the election results. I have an ex-American friend who was really worried and I kept reassuring him that folk wouldn't actually vote for a doddering, rambling old felon and sex offender who talked about sharks, electric boats, and Hannibal Lecter and retribution.

So much empathy for those of you who did fight for what's right.

@CStamp @Darkphoenix @benroyce @mark @strypey @otownKim @jm101@mstdn.party @xs4me2 You could've cracked granite with how solidly certain I was that Harris would win.

This is what happens when I hope...that's why I avoid it.
