The GOP candidate for mayor of my city has been convicted of poisoning and killing 341 dogs. The Democratic candidate once had to kill her dog 30 years ago because it was rabid and violent.
They are both exactly the same. I don’t know who to vote for?
Yes, many of the Democrats are a waste of fucking space, granted. I get it. You all should be voting in the primaries if you want to change that.
But can be PLEASE for the love of fucking Sweet Baby Jesus remove the Republican fascist enablers from power? Can we at least give it a fucking try this time?
My hope is that sometime in my lifetime people will finally realize that letting go of the rope isn’t a good strategy for winning a tug-o-war. (So far, so bad.)
Don’t be complacent. Vote tactically kick these fascists out.
They are only surprised because they had their boot on the neck of the population for years while lining their pockets.
You must contrive for your future rulers another and a better life than that of a ruler, and then you may have a well-ordered State; for only in the State which offers this, will they rule who are truly rich, not in silver and gold, but in virtue and wisdom, which are the true blessings of life. Whereas if they go to the administration of public affairs, poor and hungering after their own private advantage, thinking that hence they are to snatch the chief good, order there can never be; for they will be fighting about office, and the civil and domestic broils which thus arise will be the ruin of the rulers themselves and of the whole State.
And…
You have again forgotten, my friend, I said, the intention of the legislator, who did not aim at making any one class in the State happy above the rest; the happiness was to be in the whole State, and he held the citizens together by persuasion and necessity, making them benefactors of the State, and therefore benefactors of one another; to this end he created them, not to please themselves, but to be his instruments in binding up the State.
Plato, The Republic
C’mon leftists! Remind everyone that voting is a seekrit scheme by the oppressors to steal the work of the proletariat! Make sure republicans stay in power!
