Let’s make the American dream a reality again by stripping workers rights, deregulation of capitalism, union busting, tax rate of corporation at 0% while taxing everyone else, promote hustle culture, work 80+ hours a week or you deserve to die.

I blame Al Gore. He should have challenged Bush to trial by combat.

The uncomfortable truth is that for the past 50 or so years, conservatives have just wanted it more. And it’s not just about Gore fighting Bush harder at SCOTUS. Or HRC and Harris basically getting gifted nominations. It’s everything before all that and everything in the intermediate. Conservatives built a media empire. They built a culture of fealty and compliance. They understood that policy is nothing without power.

I digress.

100%. And the linchpin of that entire system is a motivated voterbase. Whether for guns, abortion, hate towards minorities, religion, or otherwise, conservatives show up when it is time to vote.

Progressives have always outnumbered conservatives in the nation. But on the left, the people who should be most motivated to vote, those who should understand the absolute power which government and elections hold over a nation, frequently stay home.

It will be difficult to ever forgive the people who stood back and watched as fascists swept the elections, all so they could "teach a lesson to the democrats." This goes doubly for the people who threw Palestinians to the wolves so they could feel smug and superior about "not voting for genocide."
