Just read an article that amounts to “because of gerrymandering, vote suppression, propaganda, and anti-democracy efforts, if Democrats want to win elections, they must nominate candidates who won’t fight gerrymandering, vote suppression, propaganda, and anti-democracy efforts.”
Parts of this country are going to start seeing climate refugees from places like Florida and I really think we ought to rethink our hypercapitalist society that consumes people for profit and uses militarized authoritarian violence to enforce itself before we get there.
To me that seems like we're going to need to nominate some unconventional candidates who are willing to fight the status quo but idk.
I keep daring to hope that we will reach the "hey actually we don't need to listen any longer to the malicious fiends who created and enforced this status quo" tipping point before the "oops the planet isn't livable" tipping point.
It's not much of a hope. Only a fool's hope.
It's not much of a hope. Only a fool's hope.
Just if I were running a major political party and I noticed that Seattle was actually boiling and nobody in Texas could run their air conditioning during a heat wave or furnaces in a cold snap I might not be thinking "status quo politicians are the wave of the future here."
