2024 will basically be a race between a cult leader who deserves to be if they aren't already in jail, and Biden. If you are in the cult, you live in a one party state, if you are out of the cult, you live in a one party state. I see young activists getting screwed either way.

It's a vote for democracy or not and it's pretty much at the platform level not just the president. Any GOP majority in either chamber wiill either block democracy or if Trump is the president help dismantle democracy. Same at the state level for the most part.

Don't forget to vote November 7. I'm tired of hearing about book bannings, PragerU getting to our schools, and other hate based policies at the state and town levels.

This is “they’re all the same” bullshit that some groups use to dissuade you from comparing and deciding on your own. That, and it’s just ageist rhetoric, ignoring Trump is nearly just as old

Don’t listen to this shit. Look at what they say AND what they do, in total. Single issue, lazy, dogmatic thinking is how we got into this sorry state to begin with.

It really isn't, it's just criticizing the lack of choice. Unfortunately, people like you are ignorant enough to believe there aren't better forms of democracy whereas in Europe there are no shortage of countries where you can vote an actual choice of parties and not throw your vote away because of simple majority rules.

Both parties aren't the same (the use of the word cult should have been a big hint), but you'd have to be a special kind of fool to be praising the lack of choice you have. The world is bigger than your ignorance.

Ageist rhetoric, that's just your gaslighting, I never brought it up, nor do I se anyone other than you gaslight with it. You are basically regurgitating political propaganda that isn't even relevant to the comment...

You are free to pat yourself for your lack of choice. If single issue, lazy, dogmatic, thinking is how you got into this sorry state to begin with, then why are you perpetuating it?

Well put. One Party State would make a great band name. Also, I’m on Sudafed and NyQuil.
