Democracies fall when citizens don't vote and entrenched powers can effectively purchase votes through propaganda, disinformation and gerrymandering.

You should vote because its a civic duty and you want to reduce harm.

Not voting because you personally arent centered is some narcissist shit.

One of the most crazy, infuriating things about ALLLLLLL this bullshit is how FUCKIN LAZY they are, like, they're half-assing fascism and we STILL can't pump the brakes 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Missouri officials directed county election administrators to make voters temporarily unable to vote if they were flagged as potential noncitizens by a federal tool.

But in hundreds of cases, the tool's determinations were wrong.

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes.
The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

People who think their only political tool is withholding their vote are people who haven’t bothered to engage in politics. It’s not a real tool, it persuades nobody of anything but to ignore you. Almost anything else you did would have a better chance of achieving your ends.

If there was a single mention in the files that remotely rhymed with Biden or Obama, they’d have all the pitchforks out.

Trump is in there literally over a million times and they’re unsure if it means anything.

They’re irredeemably broken people.

Folks love to pretend that Harris was new to this. They loved her for years in local government. Loved her in the senate. Loved her as VP. But, when she stepped up to save folks’ a$$es after Biden was forced out….suddenly she has “no messaging.” No. It’s that Black women’s voices are ignored.

A reminder: The Department of Homeland Security was created November 25, 2002. People screaming "Abolish ICE" need to aim much higher. The entire department needs to be dismantled.
I know the slogan is "abolish ICE", but CBP seems to seems to have roughly the same relationship with the rest of DHS that the Ustase had with the Gestapo

The U.S. currently has more prisoners and a more sophisticated system of concentration camps than Nazi Germany had on the eve of World War II in 1939
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

One thing I do have a problem with re: Gen Z/Alpha is that I think there's a certain taken for grantedness on certain social gains that allows for right-wing subversion of politically disengaged normie types and hyper-leftists alike.

To put it another way: Jeff Bezos could easily ensure there are no staff cuts at The Washington Post for the next decade, and he'd still have more than $249B in net worth left over.
Jeff Bezos' wedding last summer cost somewhere around $50M. That, alone, could have saved all 300 positions cut today at The Washington Post for a year.

Of course, he wouldn't have to choose. He could do both because he's worth $250B, which is nearly the GDP of New Zealand.

Fun fact, the entire federal budget for MN is $19 billion. Burchett is making up everything but his racism here.

Ah, the 21st century welfare queen redux
Trump: "Minnesota is a mess. There's something in the water up there. I won the 3 three times but I got no credit for it. It's a rigged state. Really rigged badly w/ the Somalians, and the Somalians & the theft. We gotta get 'em out, most of them. 92% don't work. Many of them drive Mercedes-Benzes."
