2020 was... truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn't get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.

My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I'm going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I'm done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I'm gonna do my best to fight that.

Right now, the choices are between boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil. It's not that hard a choice.

Frankly I don't think there much boring about the genocide the corporatist is enabling.

If you avoid everyone who supports Israel in this fight you won't have anyone to vote for. I swear Israel is part of the national narrative on both sides and I don't understand why.

Volunteer and try to primary those old bastards out of office. The Squad is getting bigger every election.
