    Its only democracy if you’re choosing your sbyser.

    Refusing to endorse abuse is childish.

    If they’re both going to literally kill you, choose the one who will kill you less.

      In the case of the 2024 general election, the difference between the one trying to kill you, and the one trying to kill you less, was substantial.

      Much needs to be done beyond voting, but there’s debate whether the country can last to 2028, or after Louisiana v. Callais we’ll see another Democratic majority in either legislative house after 2026.

      Ellie Mystal observes that since the 1960s, it’s only been the black vote that has pushed Democrats to the Presidency. White voters vote majority Republican. Now that black districts are being gerrymandered away, we may well be a one-party state by 2028 or 2030.
