We’re watching US democracy dying right before our eyes.

If Biden and the Democrats had any mental coherency and a spine they’d be using this ruling to their advantage and fuck over conservatives before conservatives get into office to kill democracy and the opposition parties.

    This is why this election is so important. I know it’s said in every election but this one may be the last free* election.

    That * is there because I know that Republicans have made inroads in red states, with many secretaries of state either vowing to not verify a Biden win or not affirming that they will certify the election.

    Please, for the love of democracy and our Republic, consider volunteering as an election official or as an observer.

      Not just the next election, either. We can’t afford to have a Republican president again until this has been overturned, or the party has undergone a radical reform

      “This is the most important election of our lifetime” is gonna be true for every election until the GOP stops using any power they can get to inoculate themselves from voters.

        I came to realize this sometime around April of 22, I kinda had a complete mental breakdown, as in I quit my job and tried something crazy career wise because it gave me a feeling of control over my life again. I landed on my feet but that’s not the point. The point is that we are now locked into an ever repeating cycle of stopping the fascists. Which means it will be decades, until after all the ancient occupiers of power have passed. But by the time that comes I don’t even know what the world will look like, we need a general stirke
