    Too soon was yesterday and earlier. The race is over - it’s time to rub our own representatives noses in their bullshit and hope our country limps along well enough to give them a chance to apply the lesson. …I’m not confident that opportunity will be on the table going forward.

      If you’re still putting your trust and faith in anyone to represent you and your interests within this system, you might have some lessons to learn yourself…

      You can’t keep playing their game over and over expecting a different result.

      Direct action, mutual aid, dual power, horizontal governing. Those are the ways forward, not yet another cycle of electoral theatre.

        I voted for the frying pan in hopes of avoiding the fire. I don’t have faith in any of them, but there’s a spectrum of awful they all fall on and I’d prefer to at least hang out on the less severe end of it.

        But you’re right, we absolutely cannot rely on this shit.
