You know what my grandfather did to fight fascism? He carried a Garand and a 50lb satchel charge.

Fuck voting. Fuck letters. Fuck calls.

So we yell at someone who yells at someone who then says “No.” and then we’re back where we started.

Plus my democratic Senator has brain damage and I have no democratic representative.

The TEA Party, apart from being funded by oligarchs, relied upon their target audience’s patriotism.

The left has no patriotism because we know history, so it won’t work on us.

Do you want Republicans to gain infinite power forever? Because that’s how you give Republicans infinite power forever.

Oh wait that already happened.

And whenever I hear him talk, I never get a sense of urgency. It’s as if nothing that’s going on really bothers him, and he’s 100% certain that things will turn out just fine like they always have.

They’ve all sounded like that for my entire life as I watched the world fall apart around me.

He had really bad autism. He was in love with a pigeon. Brilliant he was, but mad as a hatter.

I’m actually a big fan of Edison Motors, who are working to make heavy trucks into hybrids. And they’re Canadian!

Why do you think I think it’s a sports match? Let me spell it out for you really clearly/

1. The point of a political party is to influence elections so they can gain power, right?
2. Democrats consistently fail at this, regardless of how much money is thrown at them.
3. Therefore they are not good at doing the first job of a political party

The democrats had a billion dollars in the last election and still lost to a semiliterate buffoon.

They have the money. They had the volunteers. And they still lost.

Maybe how they’re using that money and volunteer effort is broken? Nah, it’s my fault for not giving them every last dime and quitting my job to go knock on doors.

Right, and they’re trying to convince people about their agendas to try to win elections, right?

I don’t expect it to happen like a transaction. But I do expect the very expensive political consultants who the party employs to at least win something.

If a political party is as bad as the democrats at winning and keeping power, what’s the damn point beyond employing very expensive and ineffective political consultants?

The democrats have been failures my entire life, and I still vote for them. I still donate and I even volunteered. And all my efforts are for naught because the party is terrible at doing the first thing it needs to do: Win votes.

You don’t want a political party that wins?

Yep, you’re a Democrat

And to do that you pool your resources, right? In some kind of poltical “party” that employs experts to have the greatest effect, right?

And if that political party can’t win enough elections to gain power, is it doing its job or just wasting my time and money?

And isn’t the first job of a political party to win those votes and hence the election?

I used to, until I realized they waste it

Yes, actually. It’s feels good to stop pretending.

Why is that my problem? Shouldn’t the Democratic Party be doing that already? Isn’t that why they’re always begging for money? Wasn’t that what the billion dollars they wasted fighting Trump was for?

Why even have a political party if it’s up to individuals to do this?

Anyone who has a problem with democrats losing so goddamn always is MAGA, got it

Why the hell should someone with no political experience, no money, and a life to lead take this on when there is ostensibly an existing organization whose job it is to do this? What then hell do they do with all that money we send them?

So how do we break the cycle of Dems never getting enough power to do more than slap a band aid on things? Keep voting for them like I have for decades? Because that’s been working so fucking well.

And maybe if they acted like a goddamn opposition party Republicans wouldn’t be able to wreck shit with a bare majority. Like maybe don’t hand Donald Trump a blank check.

I have been voting blue no matter who in every election since I turned 18.
