    So instead of being a good apple you want to see and very easily achieving 90% of all of your political stances by voting blue, you want vigilantes to start killing people in the street all across the nation?

    Thats just stupid.

      They stopped being able to achieve my political stances. That’s why I’m done with them. I am a strong advocate of harm reduction, but the Democrats failed when Trump won. At a local level, it still matters, but at a national level, they’re all irrelevant now.

      I just recognize that the rules changed; you’re still living in the past.

        Lmao

        I see people like you trying to change the rules because the game is too hard. Like a child.

        The Democrats didn’t fail us. We failed the Democrats. We didn’t show up to the polls.

          Nah, the rules aren’t changing because we’re throwing a tantrum. Trump is a fascist dictator who will make the legislature powerless. Again, you’re living in a fantasy of stability. The entitled attitude of the liberal establishment is why Harris lost. They were expecting a free lunch; no radical policies in a system that needed it. People weren’t smart enough to direct their anger, but still smart enough to know things were only getting worse.

          I’m extremely insulted that you claim “we” failed the Democrats, when minoritized people like me from solid blue states never could’ve voted any harder. We couldn’t have campaigned harder. We couldn’t have tried harder. We were the only fucking people trying to make liberal democracy work, but the rich got tired of us. You’re a genuine asshole for saying something so out of touch.

          When the rule of law crumbles, I can only hope that you help those who need it more than you. I won’t care less about saying I told you so. Just get with the program.
