I want a better world. For everyone. Forever.

Encourages realistic optimism. Anti-doomerism.
MLK made the statement “If you are neutral in a situation of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”

Democrats may not be maga and may be “better” than maga is, but they are completely motionless as maga continues to make America worse.

They need to either act now, or gtfo.

This is why the rule of law is still broken, and why maga continues to win by breaking it.

Not to say the democrats have to also break the law in order to beat them, they just have to actually uphold the law and apply it.

Since they haven’t done either, they are just as much to blame.

Matter of fact, they have done absolutely nothing to signal the law still exists, therefore allowing maga to continue doing whatever they want free of consequence.

So yes, even with the promise of “upholding an establishment,” the democratic party is failing to do the bare minimum.

Worth noting this comment is not aimed exclusively at Pritzker.

Everyone with a pulse has their own right to ensuring justice is enacted, and justice is fair.

YOU are justice. Not nature.

Use it instead of saying “it will eventually happen.”

People flock to maga because, moral bankruptcy aside, they believe it will improve their lives somehow. As far as they are concerned with things, thats exactly what is happening right now.

Once they see however that maga makes those problems WORSE, their support for the movement falls.

The real solution, and what people should say instead of “something bad,” is how it’s maga makes those problems WORSE. How maga is ruining the economy, how maga is making illegal immigration worse, how maga is robbing us of everything.

Then? Offer a more effective solution than maga could never.

Keep the declaration, abandon the greed and hatred of others.

The moral of the story is sure this person might see themselves as respectful of other people, however that is because they do not RECOGNIZE groups as other people.

This is why self-center politics is awful. Being nice to those like you means nothing if you harm those who are different than you.

They can hate opinions BECAUSE they see others as “opinions.” They believe fully there are certain groups whose entire existence on earth is simply a concept they can disagree with.

*LIBERALS,* on the other hand, seem to say the same for one person. Or most, a certain mindset differing FROM people.

Someone tally how many times trump has gained something he doesn’t deserve simply because others gave it to him.

They def will. Hence why other action can be/is more important than voting.

Voting is a useful tool, despite what people may think.

What everyone gets wrong however is that voting is not the ONLY tool, and frankly out of all of them it might be one of the weaker ones.

Voting is what you do after you have already done everything else.
