    His opponent is Kari fucking Lake, so I guess he figures we’ll just roll over and take it. The country is more fucked up and hopelessly mired in systems of violent subjugation than I’ve ever seen in my lifetime and I have no idea what to do about it other than share the news and volunteer in my community.

      FFS. “The lesser of two evils” seems both timely and inappropriate, for some reason.

        This is what “Vote Blue no mater who” gets you. It’s ok to demand better from your elected officials, even if their opponent is much worse. The Republicans are jist going to keep rumning more fascists while dudes like this keep preventing progress from occuring that will actually improve the country.

          Not a good situation by any stretch of the imagination. A corrupt candidate should not clear the bar, in my opinion, no matter who they run for.

          This is what decades of people sitting out gets us. 1/3 of the country does not vote. Repubs are able to run further and further right fascists because their base will actually vote.
