PISSED OFF AS HELL THREAD

GOOD MORNING, I'M FURIOUS...

Furious at the monstrous, racist Republicans running the country.

Furious at the complicit, gutless Dem leaders who enable them.

Furious to hear that MILLIONS more are slipping into poverty while billionaires cash in...
PISSED OFF THREAD

I'm furious at the unthinkably evil policy of STEALING babies, perhaps the deepest pain you can inflict on a human.

Furious that no official, GOP or Dem, faces prison for committing (and funding) crimes against humanity at the border.

PISSED OFF THREAD

I'm furious that raging white supremacists occupy the highest offices in our country.

Furious that we're living in a police state where Black people are lynched at will by police, and protestors brutalized and carted off in unmarked vans.
PISSED OFF THREAD

I'm furious that even as hundreds of thousands are dying from #coronavirus, BOTH PARTIES are viciously opposed to #MedicareForAll.

Furious that in the richest nation in the world, tens of millions of people have to choose between food and healthcare.

THREAD — "VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE"

What does that phrase really mean?

It means you're an adult with the capacity to exercise an informed judgment and make an ethical, carefully considered choice for president. It means you value your vote and understand the stakes in the election.
"VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE"

To vote your conscience is to analyze complex factors, to weigh the outcomes, to be guided by your moral compass, to assess the impact of your choice on others, and to be true to your values and principles.

EVERY vote should be a vote of conscience.
"VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE"

For leftists, progressives, and millions of non-voters who find the extremist GOP abhorrent and the Democratic Party complicit in perpetuating a corrupt, immoral, oppressive system, 2020 is hardly the easy choice it's made out to be.

This is why I'm so pissed at Dems:

For nearly 4 years, they've enabled, accommodated, and empowered Trump. Funded his worst policies. (They did the same with Bush, then embraced him and absolved him of war crimes.)

Now, come election time: "VOTE BLUE OR THE WORLD WILL END!!!"
If he was such an existential threat, then why pass his bills, confirm his judges, give his cronies a free pass? Why punt every time you could use your power, lull people with theatrics like tearing speeches, then put the ENTIRE ONUS on voters when the shit hits the fan????
And establishment trolls have the nerve to yell at leftists "you're helping Trump!" while fawning over politicians like Pelosi WHO ACTUALLY HELP TRUMP.

#Pelosi preemptively surrendered.

If you were wondering how hard establishment Dems would fight to protect the #SupremeCourt...

I want all of you to understand what Trump is to politicians like Nancy Pelosi: A cash cow. A fundraising bonanza. Image
So much for the 2018 blue wave that gave Democrats the House. The Dem leadership has ONE solution for everything: Put the onus on voters and just clap sideways.

THREAD - STOP SHAMING THE LEFT

A relatively small minority of Americans on the left believe the entire system is corrupt to the core and that the ONLY principled position is to tear it down and not to keep enabling the #duopoly. They see establishment Dems as faux-opposition...
STOP SHAMING THE LEFT (cont.)

Just as you may believe they are responsible for electing Trump, they think YOU are, by upholding a system that put Trump in power.

Just as you may believe they are "purist spoilers," they think you are unprincipled sellouts to the oligarchy...
STOP SHAMING THE LEFT (cont.)

Just as you may think they are helping Trump, they know that Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Dem leaders have enabled and empowered Trump, funded his most egregious policies, and fast-tracked his judges. All while raking in "resistance" money...

If you believe multiple accusations of sexual misconduct are disqualifying, then NEITHER #Trump nor #Biden should be running.

#MeToo is not partisan. And PLEASE don't come at me with the "lesser of two sexual assaulters" argument.
If you believe it's worth overlooking Biden's behavior in order to remove rapist, racist Trump, that's your prerogative. But don't denigrate the numerous women who have come forward against Biden.
For anyone giving me crap about this or questioning the facts, more than a half dozen women have come forward to accuse Biden of unwanted touching and/or verbal harassment.
