    Trump says a lot of foolish things and half the time he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But when it comes to his lifelong thirst for vengeance there is no doubt that he means it. And he is now backed by the vast majority of elected Republicans who are clearly slavering at the prospect of taking down their political enemies. They will do it.

    Yet we seem to be sleepwalking right into this scenario. I don’t know what it’s going to take but the sane people of America, including the media, better wake the fuck up before it’s too late.

      Fuck the establishment. Its up to us to supercharge these people into a wakeful mindset. Grab all these examples, shove them in the face of moderates constantly. I’m tired. Make this the fight, and then we need to fucken change to ranked choice or anything else than FPTP. Its time we became a democracy instead of an oligarchy.

        This is actually the only way I think we have a shot. Republicans have a massive media presence. Unless regular people who cere about democracy make it a point to inform low information voters, they simply won’t know wtf is going on

        Unfortunately even the dems don’t want a different voting system.

        Down voting me doesn’t magically make what I say untrue people.

      The media talking heads don’t care. They believe they’re part of the protected class because they’re good little bootlickers for the rich.
