    Unless they get the opportunity to protest something happening halfway around the world again.

    Friendly reminder that we elected representative Adelita Grijalva and that Congress still refuses to actually swear her in after nearly a month.

    Prepare to receive a poop emoji in response to your vote.

        Whether or not that’s technically true, that’s so far from how they normally do it that neither Republicans nor Neoliberal “the system is fine, actually. Just needs a few minor tweaks” Democrats and “independents” would ever accept it as legitimate or even consider going through with it in the first place.

        This is a perfect example of how EXTREMELY wrong the system defenders are to ignore what the left has been warning about for several decades.

          The Democrats have never had any purpose beyond defending “process”. They will watch their system die; all the while saying “we followed the rules”. It’s exactly what the liberals role has always been. Their purpose was never to listen to the left. Their purpose has always been a place where left wing electoral politics go to die. They are continuing to serve that purpose now.

          Do individual democrat politicians purposely do this? No, but they wouldn’t have been allowed to be elected if they were the people that would do anything else.

          Edit: I think we both agree. I just wanted to say that in addition to what you said.

    Until the election using the republican owned voting machines. Then we’ll see who will be in charge, again.

    When it comes to American elections … I lost faith in their political leaders a long time ago … I also lost faith in the people doing the electing … or not doing the electing … or just plain not doing anything to stop this train wreck of a nation.
